K-12: The Comintern Gave Us a Century of Ruthless Meddling

The stupidest ideas in the history of education were brought into the schools and made to seem normal.

The Communist International started its worldwide campaign of subversion and sabotage circa 1920. The goal was always the same: wage a disciplined, low-budget attack on soft targets such as foundations, unions, universities, education, and media. The M.O. was the Fabian three-step: take a job, work up to higher management, overthrow the country.

For example, if you wanted to make American citizens weak and unpatriotic, who gets this assignment? If you want children to be illiterate and without ambition, whom are you going to call? If you hope to make children ignorant, almost devoid of cultural knowledge, who is just right for that project?

Clearly, all these things come back to education. And wherever you look in K–12, you will find strange artifacts and an agenda put in play by a cunning opponent.

"A Nation at Risk," a report published in 1983, honored this heritage when it proclaimed: "The educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a Nation and a people[.] ... If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war."

It was a foreign power, and it was an act of war.

The paradigm for a wide array of educational sabotage was the relentless plot to eliminate phonics and instead make children memorize sight-words. Soon American literacy was in free fall.

What is the solution? Homeschool, sure. But you and your children are becoming a cultural minority.

[MtnClimber]

"he war against phonics was just one of many hostile projects. The pattern is always the same. Discredit and dismiss any methods known to work. Replace them with shoddy contrivances."

Common Core.

“If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.”

As whites are silenced/marginalized, blacks must be the ones to expose this - it is a main reason they lag behind every new group of “replacement Americans” we import.

That cultural minority is what’s going to rebuild society after everything falls apart.

We’ll be the only ones equipped to survive.

As the Comintern spread its evil in Europe throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the Western democracies turned a blind eye to it - or even opposed the traditional reactions. Eventually many of them saw monarchies and/or military governments take control of many countries that resisted the communist revolutions, and many of them were targeted by Stalin (and his American allies) in WWII.

In eastern Europe today, those more traditional countries are leading the fight against such perversions as “gay marriage”, abortion, and self-destructive policies like open borders. Repeating the patterns of nearly a century ago, the West is vilifying them for it.
