A few of the children really wanted to learn and worked hard at it. She recalled two little girls who worked hard learning algebra. They spent lots of time studying and asked many good questions. They were grateful for everything she could give them.
"Don't you want to help them?" I asked.
"Oh of course," she replied.
But the other children were so disruptive, it was hard to help them.
She was met with resistance everywhere.
When she insisted on correct grammar, for example: "He gave the book to her and me," one boy shouted, "You racist. My momma say 'she and I;' I gone tell my momma you racist." The parents and school administration did not back her up.
Eventually the teacher is reduced to being a babysitter.
And the students do not learn.
In the final days of the Roman Empire and in the Dark Ages, literacy was almost nonexistent except in monasteries.
Will we decay into a dark age? Will some of us decay, while the others ascend into a glorious Golden Age, establishing a two-class society? Will we correct the problem of education so that we can all ascend into the Golden Age?
Only time will tell, but President Trump has the right idea and is a great and heroic leader. Truth is his guide. Any leftists/"progressives"/"liberals"/Democrats who are also benevolent would be wise to support him and his efforts.
The resistance he has met in restoring America to ascendance and bringing all of us into the Golden Age is the same resistance my sister received in trying to help and educate her students.
The resistance Trump has met has been literally murderous: three assassination attempts that we know of. This is a measure of the evil that opposes him.
Nothing good will come from the resistance and insistence on ignorance, darkness, and illiteracy--only evil, decay, and misery. This is the hideous moral and intellectual depravity of the left/"liberalism"/"progressivism"/Democrat Party. Even the benevolent among them are misguided at best in their good intentions, demonstrating yet again that "The Road to Hell is paved with good intentions."
If these benevolent were also wise, they would immediately give overwhelming support to President Trump and his efforts to restore ascendance and usher in the new Golden Age, lifting everyone into splendor.
Were the parents and administration wise, my sister would have received their wholehearted support; her students would have learned; and the little girls would have found the Royal Road to Learning paved not only with good intentions and benevolence but also with wisdom, profound moral and intellectual clarity, and the eternal quest for Truth, which is the foundation of Western Civilization.
“Will we decay into a dark age?”
We already have.
Can you expect anyone in any retail establishment to understand much of anything?
