Oh my- you really have zero idea on the US education system past and present.

The US education system (K-12 and Hgiher Ed) is completely controlled by monied interests.

No doubt "commies with money" according to your brilliant "analysis."

BTW social issues are not what define the system- they are a distraction and done so intentionally.

If I were to be charitable I would say you, like some others, are confused by liberalism thinking it to be what represents "the left." Liberalism is third way capitalism and neoliberal capital is what runs the show (into the ground) in the decaying Empire at the moment.
