I wonder what normal teachers think about this.

[RoosterRedux]

Schools are infected by the communists/Marxists in the Departments of Education (state and federal), teachers unions, and then even by local boards. Teachers are indoctrinated in their universities so that they are prepared ahead of time for orders from above.

Is any of this a surprise?

To lay the groundwork for a Marxist revolution, it is imperative (and easy) to indoctrinate the children to create a foundation.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

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.

I truly think that lot of adults, including far too many teachers, really don’t mind — and, I’m convinced, more than a few actually enjoy — physically abusing, moreso mentally harming, children ... the younger the child, the greater the enjoyment (of power and control).

Howard Zinn, like all who perpetrate leftist ideology, is what we can call a fraudulent thinker.

This can be seen in his self-refuting statements, such as “objectivity is impossible.”

The statement itself is delivered in a context of objectivity. Like all precepts of leftism, its very existence requires it to be misunderstood.
