Kardashian Sisters Spark Controversy with Comments on Education
Reality TV stars Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian are facing backlash after a recent podcast discussion about children’s education. On Khloé’s podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, Kourtney questioned the relevance of traditional schooling, stating, “Why do kids [expletive] go to school?
Truly, it’s so dated.” Khloé, a proponent of homeschooling, agreed with her sister’s sentiment.
Kourtney explained that her older children, Mason (15), Penelope (12), and Reign (10), frequently share videos of successful individuals who didn’t follow a conventional educational path. She believes these examples support her perspective.
The sisters’ comments ignited a firestorm of criticism online, with many accusing them of being out of touch with the realities faced by most families. Reddit users were particularly critical.
One commenter lamented the family’s seeming lack of focus on education, while others condemned their statements as “privileged and tone deaf,” pointing out the struggles many families face to access education. Another commenter highlighted the disparity between the Kardashians’ wealth and the financial constraints that make public schooling essential for most families.
Others simply dismissed the sisters’ opinions as uninformed and irrelevant. Several expressed concern for the Kardashian children’s well-being.
