Statistically, quite a lot of them do. I mean, what if we see my reverie of children ripping cops apart with office supplies become a reality? What will that do, combined? Americans know this stuff is directed at minorities, I think my aunt would get behind this since the lockdown allegedly made all of the "black and brown kids" impossible to teach (it couldn't be that she forgot something in that time period of course, or that she only wants to teach rich children and resents redistricting).

Currently the US left is backpedaling on police abolition after considering only the maximalist, colonialism-blind positions. I worry that the only people to seriously oppose this will be parents forced to create their own teaching networks, that they will not be treated like Tiktok crystal moms letting devices "homeschool" their children, that real organized community schooling will be treated like the Black Panthers.

If this gets wider press, I expect to hear about how "based" it is, to see people laughing at videos of it in use. Statistics about schools in poor neighborhoods will be presented as proof of barbarity innate to those wrung out by a malignant system. Nobody will buy it, but they'll see bots agreeing and complain about that. Then they'll go to work.
