From Investor's Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:

"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.

One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.

The Annenberg papers are quite extensive — 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' — both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."

Pretty unsettling stuff. Esp. because it’s the case in America. I’m in Holland, and over here there was also a strong upsurge of leftist propaganda in the ‘60s and ‘70. But it did not last, as it did over there, judging from the article.

In my experience ‘postmodernism’ was the last of the socialist-minded fads. Dutch professors and teachers wallowed gladly in this garbage and passed it on to their students. I never bought these bizarre and egotistical fantasies and nightmares by Foucault, Derrida, and their ilk. But quite a few students found it all very attractive (read: in the ‘80s). As all fake religions do, it promised unlimited freedom to its adherents; why be married to only 1 partner for life, if you can ‘get around’ as much as you like? Well, from my own observation I know that the majority of these simpletons made a complete mess of their life, and of that of their children and students too.

After PoMo, the tide changed. In general, Dutch education is surprisingly traditional, with little political indoctrination. It needs adding, however, that the quality had sunk over the past decades, in terms of general knowledge, and math/language skills.

How come?

Well, socialist politicians applied total egalitarianism in the ‘60s and ‘70s to secondary school education. The results were disastrous, in that the pupils with real talent got dragged down to the level of those with minimal talent and motivation.

It’s under repair as I write.

Lesson to be learned: avoid any fashionable ideology in education. The glittering gold of today will be the moral sh*t of tomorrow.

The deveopment of a dictatorship in most countries is top/down. A guy with tyrannical aspirations gets elected; at some point elections are suspended; he consolidates power throughout socieity, including suppression of free press and control of enducational institutions so that they spout the party line.

In the U.S., a bottom/up process is well underway. The educational system and the main stream media have adopted a left wing ideology. Through a the labyrinth of political correctness and the idea that only left-wing ideas and narratives are valid, they suppress contrary views.

In other words, the media and educational system have created the foundation for a leftwing dictatorship. Ask yourself, how many of the leftists in these institutions would object to violent suppression of Tea Party protests? How many would object if massive election fraud allowed Obama to be re-elected? The propaganda apparatus for the destruction of democracy and freedom is solidly in place.

Actually, it’s up to us parents to indoctrinate our kids, before others take that liberty. If that were done, the education system could still have all its commies, but they would be LAUGHED AT by kids who know what Communism is, what it has done, and what it can do again (like my kids)...same for Liberalism.

I realize that parents, generally, want to allow their kids to develop their political beliefs on their own...but that only works when the rest of the system (i.e., the schools) complies and stays non-partisan. And that is clearly NOT the case in today’s society.

What is surprising to me is that the 60’s radicals seem to have successfully passed their garbage Progressivism to recent college graduates from farm communities and small towns. These young people didn't attend the big liberal colleges, so it has bled into small town America. The new disciples of Progressivism are surprisingly quite militant.

I’m still a firm believe in, “Train a child in the way he should go, and he will not depart from it (that includes shes)”. They may take an alternate route for a while, but if you’ve laid a good foundation, they’ll return to it when they get out into the real world and create their own family units.

I’ve seen this firsthand over and over.

The seeds of destruction are planted in Grades K-3. They germinate and are fertilized (through efforts of the NEA) in grades 4-12. When the students reach “higher levels of indoctrination”, their brains are in the harvest stage.

You are a very busy blog pimp.

One would think that an article on education would at least have paragraphs...
