Forcing students and parents to flee taxpayer-funded institutions of k12 or higher education for private alternatives as suggested by @WilliamMcNall18 here feels like surrender. Better to mobilize to totally annihilate this SJW nonsense once and for all.

Democracy died in Thailand after anti-capitalist urban elites brought down a populist government. Even today, they celebrate their actions as progressive, as in this Bangkok painting. The deep state now rules.

The movie The Beach was a disaster for the small Maya Bay beach in Thailand as a result of a deluge of tourists wanting to take selfies. Eventually they closed the waters to swimming to protect the coral and baby sharks. Only the lifeguard house remains.

New Zealand's national curriculum on chemistry and biology is now suffused with Maori spiritual nonsense and gobbledygook, all in the name of erasing the European from science. Don't expect science breakthroughs from cookoo land down under.
