It's now difficult to understand where government ends and academia begins. And they're both leading us into the abyss.
"Those who can do; those who can't teach."
Most people who were born prior to the socialist infestation and eventual takeover of our education system probably remember that quote. It was written by George Bernard Shaw in 1903, a line from his four-act drama Man and Superman. It has been upsetting teachers and professors ever since, many of whom had a valid complaint about being included among the alleged non-achievers.
Many fine teachers throughout history have helped positively shape young minds — there's no doubt about that. But some educators who whined about the quote were mediocrities who inspire few if any students; others are subversive ideologues who spend their entire careers indoctrinating impressionable kids in their relentless pursuit of a utopian fantasy. The effort is ongoing, and the warning signs have been there for decades. But anyone who sounded the alarm was ridiculed and called a conspiracy nut, a wacko, or a Nazi. Some things never change...especially in the tried-and-true Marxist playbook. Saul Alinsky would be proud!
Sadly, we are now on the cusp of seeing that twisted dream become a reality. Orwellian doublespeak, a socialist staple, is a Democrat favorite: those who brazenly violate the Constitution accuse the opposition of violating the Constitution...those who loudly decry racism pound race-hatred into the minds of our children...tyrants who twice impeached President Trump without a scintilla of evidence support the delusional hack in the White House while he commits numerous impeachable offenses...apparatchiks rant "follow the science," all the while encouraging troubled children to pretend they're members of the opposite sex. I could go on, but you get the point.

Our public education system and higher education systems seem beyond repair.
....”Those who can, do....
Those who can’t, teach
Those who can’t teach, teach teachers...
Those who can’t do any of the above, become consultants.....”
The founder of our public education system is reputed to be
J.P.Dewey
( of the Dewey decimal library catalog fame)
Read what he wrote.
He was a Marxist.
The system he designed was Marxist at its core from the start.
The long march through the institutions started in the creation of public education.
We are in J.P.Dewey’s end game.
Welcome to the U.S.S.A comrades.
GET YOUR KIDS OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Starve that damned beast.
( teachers , become private tutors, and see if someone will pay for what you provide)

I teach at a state university part time. The amount of indoctrination I get through emails (required trainings, symposiums on race or gender, “pride” celebrations, etc) has grown astronomically in the past five years. I don’t know if I’ll be allowed to teach in another five.
And those who aren’t competent enough to become consultants, run for office.

The hard sciences at the university remain necessary. They should be sequestered from the non-core classes.
The journey to change begins with drops in enrollment and hearings in the state legislatures.
>>Academia reaches its terminal stage of rot<<<
Maybe that should read:
America reaches its terminal stage of rot
There was a time when the teachers’ ultimate objective was for students to learn to think for themselves.
Do you get paid for the time you spend in all that training?
Those who can, do
Those who can’t,teach
Those who can’t teach, teach gym.
I don’t know if I would get paid. As an adjunct, so far I’ve been able to duck the “required” indoctrination that they push onto full-time faculty. There will be a time they require it of me and my negotiated contract will have to reflect that time wasted.
