   When you say "your ideology" I don't know what or who you are talking about.    
   I just think the 10th Amendment means something... It was/is there to limit   
   the Federal government.     
      
   I think that trying to control EVERYTHING from a far distant district 100s or   
   even 1000s of miles away is stupid.  I'm not sure if you want to call that an   
   Ideology.   
      
   So, in Red States, even better, counties in said states control what their   
   kids are being taught.  Some may want you to focus on the fundamentals like   
   math, reading and writing... to name a few things.   
      
   Whereas, Blue States can continue with DEI, Pronouns and teachers Twerking and   
   doing Tick Tock video and showering and using the bathroom with opposite sex   
   children... Taking minor children to get abortions or letting minor children   
   start transitioning without the parents knowledge then so be it.

    NV> Until you are actively using the power of the state to enforce your   
    NV> morals you will lose. Everything is top down and if you want people to   
    NV> live certain morals then said morals must be pushed from the top down.   
    NV>    
      
   This is why Government should not be seen/used at the "Macro Level".  The   
   Federal Government should do Federal things only... Protect the citizens,   
   Immigration and Trade, just to mention a few things.  The state is the same   
   whereas each county can handle the county things, education being one of many   
   things.   
      
   I think you're misunderstanding something, and it's okay because I'll correct   
   you.   
      
   I don think any government should enforce anybody' "Morals"... It's not their   
   job.  It's the family's job!!!  Let Mom and Dad do what they think is right   
   for the family... The State just needs to focus on the fundamentals of   
   education.  Help citizens get Degrees, Engineering and other non-Gender   
   Studies Degrees.  Maybe get those that need help getting involved in Trades   
   that pay well.   
      
   The government, the US anyway, should remain as a Constitutional Republic and   
   the Federal Government should have a small footprint in peoples lives.
