Not a day passes without mothers and fathers rebelling against left-wing indoctrination of their children at school. Like magma erupting through the Earth’s crust, superheated parental anger is cracking the natural disinclination of ordinary people to speak up on controversial issues. Videos of parents confronting an education establishment that has been entirely captured by the radical Left are going viral so often that they’ve become a new social media genre, as Max Eden noted in the Washington Examiner magazine.
This is a counterrevolution that might topple the edifice of left-wing lies about our culture and our country. To switch metaphors, the ideological abuse of schoolchildren might be a bridge too far, the fatal overreach by left-wing bullies. These militants may, as a result, be thwarted in their repellent efforts to make ours a less successful and less admirable nation. They reckoned on ordinary Americans remaining docile, like those proverbial frogs in gradually heated water, but they have probably miscalculated.
Let us hope so.
In Minnesota this month, to cite just one local eruption, a 9-year-old schoolgirl challenged her school board to take down Black Lives Matter posters that festoon the buildings in which she is supposed to be educated, not indoctrinated. Reading a statement evidently written with her parents’ help, the girl denounced the board’s mendaciousness and hypocrisy, which had guided its decision not merely to allow but to create BLM posters for Lakeville Elementary School. The girl had asked her principal to remove the posters, which violated the board’s stated policy of “no politics in school.” He refused, telling her the posters were made by the board itself.

The Left is losing.
It becomes more clear every day. What they advocate and bully about is not what the vast majority want.
We are watching the disintegration of the Left through their own hatred and self-destruction.
They are not “winning” hearts and minds. They are fomenting a vicious uprising by patriotic and decent people completely fed up with Leftist insanity.

I wonder if this is the Millenials not wanting their children subjected to what THEY were subjected to. I have read that Millenials as a cohort are more libertarian than Boomers and Gen-Xers realize.
Once can only hope. This is certainly a good sign as those that get activated about CRT will soon be see just what a blight on freedom leftism is.
In the meantime, woke corporatism should be in the sights of this AWAKENED (word specifically chosen) populism.
It is the Silent Majority all over again.
No they are not. Just because they are the minority, doesn't mean they aren't getting everything they want. The Bolsheviks were a minority, the Nazis were the minority, did it matter in the end? It's simply the side with the greater Will that prevails, and right now it's all them.
Mussolini got a few thousand men to March on Rome, and became dictator for over 20 years.
I wish that was true. It isn't yet so.
The Left still controls every major cultural, economic, and political institution in this country. That they are a very small minority does not matter all that much. Small, cohesive, and well-organized minority groups can dominate the majority of a population for a very long time.
Leftists are fundamentally self-destructive. They weaken themselves as they wreck the lives of the people they control. Once their fraud and deceptions are common knowledge, they have very little power over anyone.
When Leftists are actually being removed from schools, courts, legislatures, military and police forces and corporate offices we can say that the "Left is losing".
They aren't going to go voluntarily or peacefully. But they are going to go.
We have a huge amount of work ahead of us.
I’m hoping we see school boards overthrown by the undress in the coming elections
I hope we are witnessing the awakening of the sleeping bears.
No they are not. Just because they are the minority, doesn’t mean they aren’t getting everything they want. The Bolsheviks were a minority, the Nazis were the minority, did it matter in the end? It’s simply the side with the greater Will that prevails, and right now it’s all them.
American revolutionaries were also a minority but thank goodness for them.
They have complete control of our education system, the media and now our federal government.
We are losing our country.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
