I had more than one relative who told me that education related courses they had to take were a big waste of their time.  I do think that ideologies waste a lot of everyone's time, though not all policies that waste time are ideological.   The source of the info on Poseidon that I used is at: https://amgreatness.com/2024/10/23/californias-unelected-tyrants/


 

She wanted to teach kids, so she went to R.S.U. Much of it indoctrination, she didn't know what to do She could walk out and forego her degree Or play along, hide her views, and be less free He put his boys in a school, that once was good But it didn't teach the basics it should They told his boys gender was fluid, and they were racists too A waste of the kid's time, and it isn't even true. Mr. Blinken had rainbow flags on every embassy abroad Make traditional cultures think our values were a fraud. D.E.I. had to pervade the department of state Realpolitik had to be gender theory and ending hate. Taxpayer funds are time - that you work to earn Time wasted by fools; time set on fire to burn. A woke hire was put in charge of a Med School to change its ways The residents worked 20 hours in a row some days But he inserted ideology, at the expense of class time If a patient in future dies, is stupidity a crime? Poseidon Desalination got permits, met all the reviews But a committee in L.A. put an end, so Angelinos lose The company spent over 20 years fighting off greens who sue What a waste of time, and a loss of so much fresh water too. They may talk in values that we seem to share But do we want to be ruled by what they feel is fair? Do we want to spend so many hours, for each virtue decree Do we want the hourglass to empty, the businesses to flee?
