Falling for the endless political debates without making a real change can be an excuse not to do anything.
There is nothing wrong with participating in political debates, but asking whether we are solving a problem is critical. If so, what? For whom?
Following what has been done in the past and thinking that's the path to take without actively validating whether it works (despite the well-meaning intentions) is a conformity trap that we should avoid.
Racing to the bottom manifests in many ways. Sticking to "business as usual" can be one of them. It's especially true with advocacy for our public school system.
