** Multiculturalim's WAR on Education

Ayn Rand Institute ^

[woodb01]

Multiculturalism seeks to inject an anti-Western dogma into today's curriculum.

Back to school nowadays means back to classrooms, lessons and textbooks permeated by multiculturalism and its championing of “diversity.” Many parents and teachers regard multiculturalism as an indispensable educational supplement, a salutary influence that “enriches” the curriculum. But is it?

This is part of a well-documented blueprint, similar to what Marx and Engel wrote, but written by a little known Italian Communist named Antonio Gramsci. His was the "slow march through the institutions" and the Culture War we hear so much about today. You can read more about the specific agenda of the DNC and the "Democratic" party from this US Congressional Testimony that I offered below:

US House Testimony on Ways and Means Committee programs, Taxpayer Waste, Fraud, and Abuse, FC-8. July 17, 2003, 15 citations and references - exploring the roots and causes of the current culture war and the rise of the welfare state. http://waysandmeans.house.gov/hearings.asp?formmode=view&id=954

That's "Ayn" Rand. Rhymes with "mine".

Multiculturalism is no boon to education, but an agent of anti-Western ideology.

Where the scouts of the invasion attacked first: the classroom.

The NEA has it's shorts in a wad over the rapid growth of homeschooling. We must encourage others to homeschool, to keep them pure from the brainwashing of the Left.

[Ptarmigan]

We must expose the left and stop them at all costs.

Good post. Did you write this?

Remember that bit in the movie "Back To School" where Rodney gave back as good as Sam Kinnisin dished it out? I had my own little blow-out with a liberal professor over Lyndon Johnson, but he didn't end up agreeing with me. My college career was very short.

Ha. You should go back to technical school where the politics is mostly about funding issues. With your intelligence, you oughta be designing computers instead of assembling them at Dell.

[NewRomeTacitus]

Thanks, but they're designed as well as I can tell now, and it's an outright miracle that we're assembling them in America for a fair price that's still profitable for the company. The direct-to-customer business model is brilliant. I'm not wasted doing testing and diagnostics there, though the hours and commute are brutal.

Used some Army VEAP money (aka The Crappiest Excuse for a GI Bill) on Nashville State Technical School for a year but couldn't keep it up and maintain a living at the same time. To be truthful, I really should have went for the military career but have never been wise about these decisions. Hacking it through Clinton's "Don't ask, don't tell" era would have been hard to stomach... Onward and upward, always!

I really like your optimism and sense of personal responsibility. In any case, thanks for serving during the Clinton years. Maybe it takes even more patriotism to enlist in times like that.
