    The foundation of education is based on the concept on wanting to better yourself and the world around you. Education is about progress, not conserving ideas that are proven to be less useful or harmful. There are words that fit better for not progressing, usually tied to indoctrination.

    If you want to conserve shit in your life, that’s fine, you just shouldn’t force it on others. The Amish prefer to conserve their horse and buggies, that’s fine. But it’s not fine to force others to not progress to airplanes because of your beliefs. I’m sure there was someone who thought the wheel was to progressive, fine, carry your shit the way you like, but I’m going to use a grocery cart, wheelbarrows and whatever other tools I find more convenient to finish the tasks I want to complete.

    Conservative by definition is to not make progress. What would be the point of learning anything new, if you weren’t trying to do anything new.

    Education will always be inherently progressive
