I did not have Home Economics, but I was lucky enough to have to learn Texas Gun Laws in class, which are of 0 help to me right now because I don’t have the intention of owning a firearm for a while and they are constantly changing because our politicians don’t care about any laws that don’t have to do with guns or immigration. When I will need this knowledge, it’s just going to be because educators in Texas are required to have one hidden in the classroom and take firearm courses in the event of a school shooting, but hey, those laws I learned in school would be complete irrelevant by then. Most already are as of today with the new open carry thing.
Home Economics would be a lot more beneficial even in a gun crazy place like Texas, though, that way people wouldn’t be so fucked when they get on their own like they are now. My grandparents taught me a lot of the stuff one would learn in a Home Ec class, and now I have to help many of my friends at college manage their finances and write up their budgets and even cook every once in a while because they have no clue how to take care of themselves.
At least they know gun laws in this state, though. I’m sure that’s just as valuable as the things I’m having to take time out of my day to help them do because I’m one of the very few who had these things taught to me as part of my upbringing.
