Not a parent but I would maybe consider leaving the country if that's feasible with your job, my sibling was telling me that the school board has been taken over by the most brain wormed white men on the planet, they currently have no science teacher for the middle school because they keep rejecting the curriculum that have evolution and climate change in them and held a special meeting because the welcome to school decorations had a balloon rainbow arch. This is also in California.
I've only casually looked into this because my finances aren't anywhere near close enough to just pick up and leave but if you're looking for an English speaking country and you make a decent amount of money maybe Australia or New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, or Vietnam would probably be in my picks if you're willing to pick up the language.
NZ seems nice fs. i'm definitely open to a lot, though i think somewhere in the EU would have the least hassle for me. i'm lucky, my mom's from germany, so i could get dual US/german citizenship through jus sangueni or some shit. afaik, EU citizenship lets you live and work anywhere in the EU/schengen, without a permit/visa or anything.
how you feel about Ireland? that's lowkey been a dream for a while. i've also been considering germany, but there's a couple cultural turn offs (american-like individualism and everyone over 30 being the biggest rule stickler)
i have 3 more years of college, so i'm thinking about studying abroad for a semester to potentially find somewhere for when i'm older. was worried about the cost at first but i think i could actually save money from my american uni
Not the person you asked but Ireland is good in a lot of respects but I think the job and housing market is pretty rough. The social security net is generally really good though. Another alternative that is similar that gets overlooked is Scotland.
Both countries are far from utopias however.
NZ is a good country especially if you want your kids to engage in postcolonialism because, as a western English-speaking country, it's hard for me to think of a country that has made as much progress with regards to indigenous rights as NZ. It's a vast distance from being good but it's much better than its neighbour, Australia, in this respect. NZ is a bit fucked with regards to its economy though.
those labels are just someone's opinion. australia's more reasonable than i assumed but i looked up auckland's climate before making that comment, 60s/70s F most of the year is defo very warm to me, especially with no winter/proper seasons
also ive heard australia's UV index makes those temps feel a lot worse but idk
near NYC so defo not very cold but slightly i guess, still got hot summers. i remember going south and judging everyone who thought 60F was chilly that's like my favorite/most comfy temp for a walk lmao

looking auckland's monthly averages i'd say NZ's the warm one and australia is the unbearably hot one
