How Modern Education Breeds Good Little Marxists

[Renee]

This is something I have been saying for many years. I saw it first hand in college and to some degree in HS and it has gotten progressively worse over time.. The blame can be laid squarely on the unionization of our public education system coupled with the creeping crud of progressive ideology in our institutions of higher Ed.

We cannot say we were not warned. Decades ago, in an article perhaps long forgotten, novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand gave an ominous warning on the state of American education at all levels, especially the ideologies and philosophies that were beginning to become pervasive within its university system.  Whatever one may think of Rand's novels or personal character, an objective analysis of her work on education specifically displays her thoughts as unquestionably prescient.

I remember my first year in Canada, my teacher forcing the students to make signs opposing former Tory premier Ralph Klein's budget balancing cuts to spending. That white twat should've been fired.

Public school teachers are paid to educate young minds. Do their politicking on their own time.

My daughter is in university now, but having both of our children attending private school has been very expensive..



But, we have no regrets about our decision not to send them to the public system.

My 3 older daughters went to public school and it was a daily struggle to undue much of the brainwashing and horseshit they were fed in the lower grades....Luckily as they got older and could start to think critically for themselves, it got easier for us to combat. Consequently my kids were seen by some of the teaching staff as rebels and trouble makers because they didn't tow the liberal revisionist line. More than one teacher's conference took place where I had to put some feeble minded, unionized, clueless, "educator" in their place. I remember having my oldest's 4th grade teacher in tears so badly that she had to be excused from the meeting. I kind of feel bad about it now because I was completely ruthless in my appraisal of her teaching ability.



My oldest is a lot like me, from an early age she seemed to be able to intuitively be able to decern bullshit form fact and had an independent mind. With the other two, it was a bit more of a struggle but I like to think they turned out to be independent thinkers as well; at least more independent than most of their peers. Two of them are in college now...The oldest is in veterinary school and number 3 is studying theater. The second oldest...well let's just say she is taking a little longer to find her path but I have no doubt she will get there. My youngest attends private school and as you say it is expensive but she is getting a quality education with a lot less of the brainwashing bullshit heaped on top of it.



BTW, all of them can safely handle, use, field strip and clean just about any firearm you can hand them,... something their grandfather is quite proud of...

I've heard similar stories about brainwashing in our public school system here too.

Marxists knew long ago that public education is where they will mold future revolutionary minds.



America Currently Facing 100-Year Communist Agenda: Filmmaker Curtis Bowers

Filmmaker Curtis Bowers told The Epoch Times' Crossroads in an interview Wednesday that communists in the United States have sought to destroy America with an explicit agenda that includes controlling education, destabilizing the family unit, and promoting dissatisfaction about motherhood.



Bowers discussed a list of 45 communist goals (pdf) that were published in the book "The Naked Communist" and read into the Congressional Record 1963, and how these goals were created to explicitly erode American values and traditions.



Bowers is a former Republican state representative from Idaho, businessman, and filmmaker who produced the documentary "Agenda: Grinding America Down," which details the forces that have been trying to radically remake the United States. His film forecasted much of what is happening in the United States today.



Bowers said the communist's goal #17, "Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks," has largely been achieved and has created many of the problems Americans face today.

This is what our friends with children in public schools tell us.

There was indoctrination in the classrooms when my kids were in school.

This is contemporary Civics curriculum.



False History Taught in Schools Incites Children to Hate America



President Donald Trump said during the Independence Day celebration at Mount Rushmore on July 3, "Against every law of society and nature, our children are taught in school to hate their own country and to believe that the men and women who built it were not heroes, but that were villains."



"The violent mayhem we have seen in the streets of cities that are run by liberal Democrats, in every case, is the predictable result of years of extreme indoctrination and bias in education, journalism, and other cultural institutions," Trump said.



"He hit the nail right smack on the head. That's what I've been arguing for years," said Newman, co-author of the book "Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians are Using Government Schools to Destroy America's Children."



He said what defines American people as Americans are principles enshrined in the country's founding document, the Declaration of Independence, "that all men are created equal, and that everyone is endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights," Newman said.



However, the history taught in schools has been replaced by a historical narrative that reverses those principles, claiming that the country's founding principles were "slavery, oppression, racism, white supremacy," and similar things, Newman said.



An example of U.S. history reversal is a New York Times series, called the 1619 Project, created by New York Times reporter Nikole Sheri Hannah-Jones, whose opening line of an essay that won her a Pulitzer was, "Our democracy's founding ideals were false when they were written."



According to the 1619 Project, America was founded in 1619 when a group of 20 Africans, who were considered to be the first enslaved Africans in British America, arrived in the colony of Virginia.



The project is "essentially fake history, as historians from across the political spectrum—and even The New York Times' own fact-checker—publicly confirmed," Newman wrote for the Epoch Times.



Despite this criticism, the series, which posits that America was not founded on the basis of liberty in 1776, but on the basis of slavery in 1619, has become school curriculum that is taught across America, Newman said.



According to Hannah-Jones, the notion is that racism and evil are embedded in the very DNA of America, Newman said. Since DNA cannot be changed or removed, "and so what she's really saying—as the mullahs say in Iran—'Death to America.' You've got to kill America to get rid of this horrible DNA," Newman said.



"This could not be more wrong," because America's founding fathers wanted to abolish slavery as it was incompatible with the country's founding principles based on Christian values, Newman said, adding that Thomas Jefferson fought a war against slave catchers in North Africa, and James Madison, the father of the Constitution, "loathed slavery" and expressed this view on many occasions.



Almost every civilization or culture has practiced some form of slavery at a certain point in its history, Newman said.

I have met people that were unaware of all the countries and territories the Japanese Imperial Army conquered in Asia.
