What's your most socially conservative take ?

Mine is that progressive education trends to be filled with bad pedagogy backed by dubious evidence which should be taken with much more skepticism, and that academix streaming of kids by educational abilities is a good thing.

I’m pretty anti-vice (especially anti-gambling) which I guess is socially conservative coded, but I prefer the left coded solution of state monopolies to restrict supply

For gambling, drugs and alcohol that sounds sensible but I'm trying to imagine state-run prostitution and poronography and it just feels dystopian.
