The moon landing wouldn’t be up there in red states.
It would be, but only to talk about how it was a waste of taxpayer money
True but depends how delusional they are. Some are further lost than others. Drinking the koolaid too much.
Nawwwe, they're all flat earthers. No way they acknowledge it if they actually get their way.
The moon landing wouldn’t be up there in red states.
Of course it would. It is one of the few actually valid examples of American exceptionalism which nationalists absolutely require as the underpinnings to their myopic ethos. In addition to teaching the history of this wonderful achievement, it will also be taught how these events never actually took place to support their claims the government actively lies to the American people requiring action for citizens to "take back" the country. Questions for both viewpoints will be on the midterm, so remember to study.
If you're wondering how these two contradictory ideas can be taught in the same classroom, then remember in MAGA school the class taught immediately prior to history is "Learning to live with Cognitive Dissonance".
Yeah but "the moon landing was a myth"
It's not really cognitive dissonance, they just don't care about facts or truth. Words are just carrier waves for emotions and aren't the signal per se
Nah now that other countries are expanding their space programs the Republicans would never pass up the chance to brag about how they were first to the moon if for nothing else than to put everyone else down.
