The Death of Shop Class: America Can Code an App… But Can’t Fix a Lawn Mower

Can America’s newest graduates explain the difference between a two-stroke and a four-stroke engine? Probably not—and that’s the point. Somewhere along the way, we traded shop class for screen time and mechanical know-how for digital convenience. This isn’t really about lawn mowers or chainsaws. It’s about what happens when a society can build apps but struggles to understand the machines that keep the lights on, the food growing, and the country moving. Maybe it’s time to ask whether practical knowledge still deserves a place in a modern education.

California insists it’s teaching culture, not replacing standards. Critics aren’t buying it.

This isn’t about genius. It’s about baseline competence—the kind that keeps helicopters in the sky and generators from becoming bonfires.

The Weaponization of Children

Indoctrination of school children is nothing new. It started shortly after President Carter established the US Department of Education, slowly, unnoticed by most parents. President Obama accelerated the indoctrination to a delusional level by forcing transgender ideology and CRT on kids as young as age 5.
