“...communism in the U.S. has its roots in the public school systems as they were established around the time of World War I.”
Actually, it started just after WWII, in the early-50s when the commies were exposed by the McCarthy Hearings, they went underground and re-surfaced in academia and other industries. They’ve infiltrated local state and federal gov’ts, police, religion, military etc etc etc.
I was born in 1949, and went thru grade school, Jr HS, HS and University when we had the Pledge of Allegiance and Prayer to open the day’s classes and were taught about America’s History by good, Conservative teachers.
The generation(s) behind me lost all that; American flags were removed, God was taken out of schools and all gov’t, and I escaped with University graduation in 1971, as liberal teachers and profs were replacing the Conservative ones, as they retired.
You’re saying public schools were acceptable in your day because they taught all the “right” things.
I’m saying public schools have no place in a free nation under any circumstances. Once you accept the idea that the government can: (1) compel you to attend school, and (2) force you to bear the cost of OTHERS to attend school … then you’ve already lost the war. You just didn’t know it yet.
If I told you that I’m willing to eliminate the Second Amendment because the police in my town are nice people and don’t abuse their authority, you’d call me a damn fool — and for good reason.
He could be referring to Woodrow Wilson in the WWI context. And McCarthy is still scorned and reviled everywhere, despite having been proven right.
My Mom and Dad, if they were still with us, would not recognize what this country has become. Mom passed in 1986, and Dad in 2004. RIP.
