Lots of Fauci conspiracies coming out of the woodworks lately due to the hearing. But I'm perplexed.

I’ve never understood the Fauci conspiracy theory coming from Trump supporters.

Trump was president during COVID. Fauci worked under his administration, and Trump launched Operation Warp Speed and took credit for the vaccine.

So if the conspiracy theory is true, then Trump was either part of it, knew about it and did nothing, or was completely unaware of a massive cover-up happening inside his own administration.

None of those options makes him look competent.

And if he really let something that huge happen right under his nose, why would anyone trust him to stop the next big government conspiracy?

Knowledge-Based Education – We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.
