      Well you start by getting the teachers to brainwash and indoctrinate . It use to be just college , they learned it had to start from K to 3rd grade so you get your woke liberal teachers hired from the woke liberal school boards. And do it quietly at first without the parents knowing you fill your government positions with the same then quietly take away parental rights along with their other rights !!! Look use to be the schools couldn’t give your chid a Tylenol for a headache without parents permission first, now they can put your child on A,D,D meds among other drugs and never inform the parents . These people will never tell you the truth, lie out their butt tell you what you want to hear then stab you in the back. It’s the people that have graduated probably in the last 10 years along with the ones who are 18 that most probably still live at home and are probably going to wind up bankrupting their parents because they want the government to give them things free!!! Because they where never taught it’s not free every working American is the one paying in more ways than just their money being taken . If you took the amount of money that has been given away over just the last two years and put it to housing every single American could have their own house and not pay for it!!! There would be no homeless on the streets!!!
