If it’s from “Powerline” why no link?
My kids went to Edina schools. I tried to be the voice of sanity to counteract the propaganda, but I mostly failed with the girls. My son, however, is an Air Force TACP airman.
We need to get out of the hate loop to talking about what we love (once we really do love it).
I feel sad for modern lefties. They are trying to fill a God vacuum with a humanly organized communal world in which all individual identity is dissolved.
But I also feel sad for modern righties with their leave-us-aloneism which exacerbates polarization between people groups.
The only answer is a sincere no-kidding love of God. I’d tell the lefties, as an evangelist, that they are trying to do community the wrong way, and here’s why.
Back in my day, I have no recollection of teachers having such strong reaction to an election.
To the contrary, I recall having discussions about the elections, with the teachers being more of a moderator, and not expressing opinions of their own,.
I recall one class, in which the class period was devoted to a debate. The teacher had Nixon people get in one corner, Humphrey supporters in another, and Wallace people in another. This was in 1968.
We were all encouraged to speak freely as I recall. There was no “politically correct” opinion imposed from above.
I would be surprised if nowadays, a public school felt free to devote class periods to the campaign, and discuss the relative merits of Trump and Hillary.
And still the press wonders why Trump was elected...
We are fighting a huge uphill battle....
Whatever happened to the 4 W’s ? Who ? What ? Where ? and When ? The frequency of seeing reviews of articles being posted here lacking those basic essentials is disturbing.
Beside the political indoctrination that’s taking place in government schools which should be put to a screeching halt. Instruction on the basics needs a serious review.
As I compose this I’m listening to a so called conservative talk show host who’s topic is questioning teaching the value cursive writing. Because this jerk is questioning its value and emphasizes reliance on todays technology. What happens if one wants to review a letter great grandpa wrote to great grandma without that knowledge. Never mind affixing a signature. Which brings us to the teaching of analytical arithmetic and its politicization. Yielding kids that can’t even count.
I guarantee you, it isn’t worse than I think. LOL
Right after the Election I drove past the local High School at the end of the School Day.
I was stopped at a Light and the “Chillen” were crossing the Street directly in front of my Car.
The looks on their faces were something to see when they spotted my ‘TRUMP 45” License Plate. If glaring was a Class, most of them would be A Students.
This isn’t in Los Angeles where we are Educating half of Mexico, this is in South Orange County, the former bastion of Conservatism along the CA Coast.
What is happening in our schools (K-16) is beyond disgusting; it’s criminal. They are propagating a severe mental illness.
In a perfect world there would be no leftists. None. They are the bane of human existence. The world has enough problems without leftists constantly making things much worse.
Even though I dread the idea of open warfare between the left and right; when I read these kinds of articles it almost makes me wish we are already in that future war. Leftist thinking (indoctrination) is a disease of the mind, a mental illness with no known cure, a true soul crushing evil of Biblical proportions. Leftism is pure evil.
I’ve come to terms that leftists are really not that much different than the walking dead on the show “The Walking Dead” except the real life walking dead leftists are far more deadly than those on the TV show.
And if you are a commie/sadist, it's a lot more fun to berate children than just about anything legal.
In fact, as my child's homeschool teacher I learned a lot that I had never learned ... back when I was in public school.
If you're not confident you can teach some subjects, e.g. languages or advanced math, there are plenty of online high school programs offered by both state universities and private institutions.
The child whom I homeschooled, who is now an adult, is self-sufficient and working in a career he loves. What's even better is that he didn't have the love of learning snuffed out of him by our horrible public schools.
