America is a democracy and demonstrably most people's priority is not good education when it comes to schooling.

A significant portion of the people who reject the school system do so entirely based on fundamentalist religious reason, specifically things like "evolution is a thing" and "here's how you have safe sex".

The primary driver of American school boards in some states literally seems to be getting the bible into American schools for some reason.

Don't make things up, people don't reject "here's how you have safe sex". Maybe some individuals do, but majority of parents support calm and thorough explanation that sex exists and that's how adults do that safely so you 16yo's won't regret it later.

The problem is that thanks to 1% of overly active idiots it quicky degraded to "gender affirming closets" at our libraries and transgender lessons for 4th graders.
