Seems like adults are really concerned with what kids are taught these days. Are they really worried that voting habits are going to be shaped by posters in their high school library?

They’re worried that whatever place they think is reserved for them in society - however meager or uncertain - is under attack. So they’re desperately trying to become ignorant of reality again so that they can feel better and more secure. The irony is that if they embraced change, they would feel better but fighting it makes it worse.

They’re little kids stuck on a diving board.
