A lot of kids don't get abstract. That is apparently something that develops after the teen years, for most folks. And for decades, that is all they taught in school. I hope they someday learn to actually follow the research on what when and how to teach. I wasn't seeing a great deal of it when I was teaching, and that ended in 2012, finally, though I should have realized it was really done in 2008.

Per his first three sentences. Yikes, what is more liberal than abstract? What could be more abstract than liberal?

It's established the young are liberal, naturally. Just occurred to me that is being taken advantage of, by means of slick presentation, abstract concepts 'seem' fully developed and logical, though errant. No different than propaganda fostering indoctrination.
Without exposure otherwise, how will they know?

I have a forced association [relative] with a rabid liberal. This person applauds current administration's push, of labeling day care centers as infrastucture. "Oh my yes, they dovetail right in with electrical grid, highways, construction industry and materials, employment..."
It gets more convoluted, after pointing out infrastructure projects affect the masses; being rather monumental, somewhat freestanding, elemental to first world development.
