Me: Call it by whatever name you'd like, but "wokism" is a religion and should not be pushed in public schools.

Also me: there is no such thing as neutrality.

Solution: end the Dept. of Education; privatize all education.

I read this morning about the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572, when tens of thousands of Huguenots (French Protestant Calvinists) were slaughtered by Roman catholics. That event prompted a reformulation of Calvinist political thought that was formative for Western civ.

Fascinating history that, if we're unwise, may repeat/rhyme.

See the chapter on Theodore Beza John Witte, Jr.'s [The Reformation of Rights](https://amzn.to/3GtLN9j).

The current system in the U.S. is the result of price controls and crony protectionism. Overproduction of food over the long term is the result of subsidies, rebates, etc. and are funded by confiscatory taxation. Market interference always leads to shortages or surpluses--this is an economic principle against which there is no law. I appreciate the desire to help the poor--honestly--but there is a better way to do it that doesn't unintentionally harm them in the long term. See Michael Bauman, "Dangerous Samaritans: How we Unintentionally Harm the Poor".

Price controls inevitably require an authority to enforce them, which leads to producers producing at quantities that are unprofitable, and in the long term drives producers out of the market. This is the lesson of history.
