    These are the willfully ignorant people that only know history from “Ancient Aliens”.

    Edited to remove an insensitive remark about GEDs.

      Part of my job is providing education resources, like helping adults who experience homelessness, drug addiction, or prison enroll for GED classes, some of them do need multiple attempts at the tests before passing but they have almost all been kind and good people. I live in Texas and republican propaganda runs deep here, I know relatively well educated people that believe lgbtq+ people are infiltrating school systems and indoctrinating children with the woke agenda.

        You’re right, I apologize, I shouldn’t have been glib about the GED and the unique life experiences that make it a useful tool for many. I was too eager to take a shot at Boebert and her fellow wilfully ignorant. Sorry, I’ll edit.

        P.s. thanks for the work you’re doing.
