Biden’s Bipartisan Plan: Destroy American Education
The American Mind ^ | 10/30/20 | Stanley Kurtz

Posted on 10/30/2020 12:03:41 PM PDT by PoliticallyShort

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have enthusiastically embraced the woke ideology of systemic racism, have largely adopted Senator Bernie Sanders’s socialist plan to massively expand our education system and direct it from the federal center, and have promised a series of culture-war initiatives from the Left that will further undermine principles such as due process, religious liberty, traditional understandings of family and sexuality, and the right of parents to direct the education and socialization of their children. In short, one side will oppose the woke revolution while the other will defend and advance it. It’s tough to imagine a starker choice, or a more consequential one at this moment of cultural crisis. That is the bottom line, yet the fuller story is complicated by a critically important fact.

Beneath their apparently unanimous opposition to the woke revolution, conservatives are divided, uncertain, and unprepared when it comes to pushing back. The starkest divide is between, on the one hand, the conservative base, which has plenty of enthusiasm but little money, organization, leadership, or planning on education issues, and on the other hand, the most well-funded, policy-savvy, and influential conservative education policy wonks. The gulf between the conservative establishment and the conservative base is nowhere more real, disturbing, or debilitating than in the matter of education.

"Whale oil" and "dew point" came up in office conversations the last few days. The younger (30+) girls had no idea what I was talking about.

Biden has no plan. What he will implement is what his masters will throw upon America. The scary part is that half the country will embrace it because it sounds and feels good then the teeth rip the neck.

how can you destroy that which is already destroyed? as I’ve said before, we need young folks to quietly infiltrate the schools with conservative teachers just as dims socialists did. play their game. young folks should think of it as one would joining the military...a commitment.

Too late, leftists have already destroyed American education.

The fact that they could put a Kenyan from Indonesia in the White House in direct violation of the Constitution proved that conclusively.

There are still conservative teachers in the school. They are patient with their students, they warn them of the difficulty faced by a student who gets behind, they work to find improved ways to explain difficult concepts. Some students respond. These students usually return after their freshman year of college and thank the teacher for the way they prepared the students for the next level.
