A peek into how educrats indoctrinate our children

Hint: That seemingly innocuous “Advisory” module is anything but.

As a lifelong conservative and a retired teacher, I welcome all efforts to wrest control over education from the leftist educrats. I long for a day when we can send our kids to public schools and know they are being educated, not indoctrinated. But indoctrinated they are and one of the main vehicles is the seemingly innocuous “Advisory” module.

As parents, we send our children to public schools to learn English, math, science, history, and other subjects deemed desirable by our society. Our schools also teach propaganda aimed at transforming America into something like the America that President Obama longed for when he said he wanted to transform America during his administration.

Recently, conservative groups critical of Obama’s vision have challenged those school boards and politicians suspected of trying to help Obama transform America. The defeat of Terry McAuliffe in Virginia and opposition to Critical Race Theory show that parents and taxpayers are wising up to the leftward march of American Public Education.

As I said, I support wresting control of American Public Education from the leftist educrats. Even as we celebrate the victory of Governor Youngkin and the attention on CRT that is making the news on a regular basis, however, we must not underestimate the educrats’ power. They will not go away quietly. They are true believers and they expect that conservatives will lose interest in this fight.

In the last years of my teaching experience, something called Advisory became more and more prominent in our school. What is Advisory you ask? Advisory is the umbrella covering non-academic instruction given to students. This is a period where left-of-center propaganda is imposed on the young. This is what many conservatives call social engineering.

Concerned citizens running for school board positions seems like the best short-term tactic to oppose leftist indoctrination.

Solution: School Choice for all.

Another Reason to Homeschool

"Another Reason to Homeschool"
Conservative retired teachers like the author should form an association to set up small tutoring classes for limited number of students. I suffered a ruptured appendix in the six grade and lost a couple of years of schooling. My mother (who worked, my father was in the army [WWII]) found a retired teacher with a small class of four or five student who got me caught up so I entered public high school at the right age (9th grade started high school in Washington, D.C.).

Yes! Exactly!

Imagine if small school were organized like a law office. There would be the partners ( experienced teachers) and associates ( teachers in training).

Teachers often complain that they are not paid like other professionals. Well?....They could be if they organized themselves like other professionals.

Government schooling is like a big fat pimple. It needs to be squeezed from every side.

School board challenges and lobbying for school choice. Conservatives must keep up the pressure.
