The Left proclaims "education" is a main way to solve almost all problems in the world. Education, even in Spanish and about Mexican culture, will supposedly help children in America become successful Americans. Fight gangs with education. Fight racism with education. Fight sexual harassment with education. Educate criminals in prison, and they'll be less likely to commit crimes. Education will prevent teen pregnancy and the spread of STDs. Give more money to public schools and we'll see massive improvements in our society. Education will bring world peace.
That is what the Left says, despite the evidence to the contrary.
Yet there is at least one glaring exception in the Left's love of education.
The Left will do everything it can to prevent women and girls considering abortion from being educated about the alternatives to abortion, the risks and consequences abortion presents to them, the development of the child in the womb, and how exactly abortion "terminates the pregnancy."
If "choice" is really so important, shouldn’t the choices be informed ones?
Can you think of other areas where the Left suddenly loses its love of education?
