It’s true! American schools do brainwash children. Just not in the way I thought | Arwa Mahdawi

PArenten, beware! If you send your influenceable young child to school in the US, she runs the risk of running out a filthy case of the WEK-Mind virus. There is a good chance that a teacher of your child Trans Transt and, in the middle of mathematics, throw away surgical equipment to perform gender -confirming operation. We know this because – despite some evidence to support it – our appreciated leader, Donald Trump, has said so much.

‘Can you imagine that you are a parent and your son leaves the house and you say:’ Jimmy, I love you so much. Go a good day at school, “and your son comes back with a brutal operation,” Trump said on one Rally last year.

No, actually I can’t imagine that. But because of a recent personal incident, I now understand why the Maga is constantly smashing children about children who are Indoctrinated at school And why there is one Peak in home education. My three -year -old daughter, you see, was brainwashed by her kindergarten: a few weeks ago she came home with ‘Fly, Eagles Fly’ at the top of her little lungs, and she has not stopped since. We readers will know exactly what I am talking about, but for those who need a primer: I live in sport -obsessed Philadelphia and the Eagles are the football team of Philly. (It is possible that you already know this because the NFL is being marketed heavily in the UK and is Gain popularity. Taylor Swift Dating with the football star Travis Kelce has also helped the sport to get new viewers.)

They start them at Sportjong in Philly. My child’s kindergarten has taken the children on small parades around the block to support the team. Now we can’t see the Eagles logo without my daughter welcoming. Sometimes I even hear her sing in bed: “Eagles, Eagles!” (Which at least makes her better in spelling than the mayor of Philly, who recently made the headlines through Singing Elgses.)

I don’t care about American football, or sports in general, so it doesn’t bother me for whom my child is rooted. I like that she bought in the spirit of the city. But I am worried about my wife, who comes from another city-obsessed city (Boston) and hoped to raise a Pats fan. It must be difficult if your only child supports the wrong team. But again, you can’t be a sports fan without getting used to crushing disappointment.
