Say something enough times and you will believe it. Once you believe that, then believing the next tribal "truth" becomes easier until eventually black becomes white, and no amount of truth, science, or facts will make any difference.
Sadly, the "other school" was doing the same to their students. So, both sides are acting tribal.

We're getting a bit off topic, but I see your point. And then we have the demographic that figures it easier to let the "gov'mint" provide them a paycheck rather than work. They are being taught this at home.
And now, to make it much worse, all these people with multiple kids and no desire to work are getting a monthly stipend AS WELL as unemployment checks far exceeding anything reasonable.
Don't get me started..
