The Three Rs
SteynonLine ^ | April 29, 2024 | Mark Steyn

Does anyone still talk about the Three Rs in education? That would be reading, writing and racism ...whoops, my mistake, 'rithmetic.

It isn't difficult. Every weekend, my inbox fills up with readers demanding to know what I think about this or that news story, but in the end all the news stories are the same. Just from the last couple of days:

~At McGill University in Montreal, cute young predominantly female students in masks and keffiyehs take over the campus to demand "intifada until victory";

~At the University of Texas in Austin, a comedian attempts to point out to members of Trans 4 Palestine the internal contradictions of the rainbow coalition, and for his pains gets beaten up;

~At Châteauroux in central France, fifteen-year-old Mathis Marchais is stabbed to death by an Afghan "migrant" known to the gendarmes for two previous stabbings earlier this year but loosed on the public by an indulgent judge just last Monday;

~In Hamburg, over a thousand protesters march through the streets calling for an Islamic caliphate in Germany.

The Three Rs: Read the Writing on the wall - and do the 'Rithmetic. Like I said, it's not difficult - although it seems to be for some of the willing dupes who brought us the western world's new reality.

Virtue and Morality.

To only go after the “Three R’s” is a bit of an exercise in the soft bigotry of low expectations.

The Founding Fathers held it very dearly that schools should be teaching Virtue and Morality. That’s what makes for a free people.

People who can only read + can do math + and can write but nothing else while they are corrupted are fit candidates for serfdom under an authoritarian state.

Can’t forget about the “G”!

“The guzintas”

For example;
Three guzinta twelve four times

The “Three R’s” have been replaced with the “Three W’s”:

1. Woke;
2. Women are men and men are women; and
3. We will own nothing and like it.

Yet, even as their parents drone on with their multiculti bromides, our youth get the reality: Queers 4 Palestine may be a delusion, but not as insane a delusion as "diversity is our strength".

For a long time, Steyn's demography rants have been prophetic.
