It’s incredible that you have such a poor grasp of nuance that you can’t see how the two positions you posit are in no way mutually exclusive.

So we eschewed a general understanding of knowledge (independent of subject) for an esoteric concept of “deep knowledge”
That is degradation.
That is degradation.

And further more that “deep knowledge” was so expansively defined that it was impossible to pin down?

You don’t remember that the term “deep knowledge” was used to denigrate “surface level knowledge”?
And that most knowledge taught in schools (especially knowledge to be memorised) was deemed to be “surface level knowledge”?

Based on some comments on this post, it would seem that the problem is not the other side’s perspective, but “our” side’s perspective of what the other side’s perspective actually is.

While there exist people who have that “perspective” most of the “other side” don’t actually have that “perspective”
Perhaps if we were to stop and listen to their perspective with the empathy we claim to have, then we might find ourselves more similar than different.

What you have expressed is not secularism.
Limiting religious expression carried out at by an individual (where said expression does not impede work) is enforced atheism.

Why should rich homeowners have access to government subsidised power in a way that the poor (and even well off renters) can’t?
The benefits you speak of are paid for in significant part by the taxpayers.

I as a Christian also do not want my government to express a religious rite.
You however seem to want to go a step further and want non government individuals not to be allowed to express religious beliefs in certain contexts nor be equally supported by government.

Why do you not understand that what you articulate is not secularism, but atheism?
Secularism is not a philosophy that denies religious influence by individuals. It instead denies religious imposition by institutions on individuals. You “no religion” is a form of religious imposition.

Interesting. My feeds are opposite of what you report.
Probably more based on who we each follow rather than the obvious moral superiority of the platform.

Sure. But you die waiting for an ambulance or waiting hours in an ambulance in the driveway of the hospital, or waiting in the corridor for hours before you get an ED bed, where you will stay for days before they put you in a ward before they send you home to because they have no theatre staff.

When was the last time you had PD that held up direct instruction as valuable? Most I attend decry it.
Why also do I see evidence that many my of year nine maths students (every year) have had entire years of their education with minimal teacher led instruction?

In the last fifty years. My standard of living. The standard of living of everyone I know and everyone I don’t know has risen.
“Trickle-down” is nothing to do with economics. It’s just a phrase for people to use to be critical of something they don’t understand.

A quick reading of actual history will demonstrate that politicians and the governments they lead are also capable of enslavement and mass murder.

Yes we are still teaching knowledge.
However, the knowledge I teach in my current curriculum is vaguely implied rather than explicitly required as it used to be.
This change has not led to any significant progress for my students. The opposite is true in many cases.

The Democrats didn’t believe their own rhetoric on the “fascism” of Trump. I don’t know why anyone else would either.
