The real danger to the country is the destruction, for the past three generations, of the public education system.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Please read post #40.

The destruction of our education system began the very first day that modern government schools opened in the mid-1800s to early 1900s.

Our modern government schools are NOT NOT BROKEN! They are doing EXACTLY what Horace Mann and John Dewey and the other “progressives” intended!

Gosh, you’re right. I recall school (HS class of 1964, lots of night school after that) actually teaching me stuff, but when I really think back on it, the problem was already there. Justifications for communism, sympathy for the “poor,” and the “greed” of the free-market system were inserted in the fine education in math, science, English, history, et.al.

Now even the fine education is gone.

So does “reading instruction” I’ve been forbidden to
exhibit the alphabet to people being tutored. I finished
the orientation training, just to see what could be seen,
but didn’t proceed beyond that.
