Could Lemmy be used as a classroom tool (like having a classroom's own instance)

I feel like it would be an interesting learning tool cuz I learn a ton on here and it gets me writing without anyone having to hold a gun to my head. I mean like even essay-length or at least essay-worthy treatments of things I respond to in longer-form, and even for the shorter-form stuff

My problem is that, anytime anybody says anything about Project 2025, they only talk about one of the many things included.

Let's be very specific about what all is included in Project 2025:

1-Establish that Article 2 of the Constitution gives the president power to do whatever he wants.

2-Fire the civil service and replace it with Trump loyalists.

3-Immediately implement the insurrection act and use the military to fight protesters.

4-Use the DoJ to target critics

5-Weaken the election security agency

6-Reject climate change

7-Remove all LGBTQ+ protections

8-Bring the Bible into government

And all of this is public and written in a 1000-page handbook by the Heritage Foundation.

This raises the question of why I just had to include 9 different sources. That's because the media is only sharing this piecemeal even though it should be news shared with everybody. Their coverage is rubbish.

If we cannot rely on the media to do their job, it means we have to work around them. Please pass this whole post on to whoever will listen.
