"More from Hitler's classic..."
uhhh... good quote on public education. Once school choice becomes available liberalism will suffer a big defeat. Reading high school textbook is like reading talking points from the democratic party.
But I wish you wouldn't quote Hitler or talk about his 'classics'. We have enough leftists comparing republicans to nazis without wackos on here doing it for them.
I suppose that I should have invoked the sarcasm tag with that "classic" remark.
I hold notions and ideas which I rarely see expressed anywhere concerning public education.
About three or four years ago or so the Boston Globe came out with a bunch of old stories concerning Catholic priests molesting children. They reported on stories concerning 10 year old news which was not new "NEWS."
They kept the issue on the front page for literally weeks. Hello, I already read this stuff.
Anyhow, it seemed from here that there was an amazing increase in "victims" coming into the light. Within weeks, there were victims and lawsuits all over the place. It was so here in Massachusetts, and all over the country as well as in Europe.
The lawsuits were all over the place, and settlements were being reported endlessly. This of course inspired new complaints. People were accusing priests of abuse from decades ago which nobody had ever heard of before. It was like an epidemic.
The Boston Globe kept reporting these stories, and it became a phenomenon all on it's own. The lawsuits have since resulted in numerous closing of Catholic schools, and the area Diocese has had to sell off a lot of property in order to pay for the settlements. Lately, local churches have been forced to close, and of course now the Boston Globe is so effing sympathetic to the local parishoners in their reporting. Did I mention that I despise the Boston Globe yet?
Who wins in this sort of circumstance? The public school teacher unions and local politicians. I find it all to be quite unsettling.
BTW, I was raised a Catholic, but I long ago left that denomination. I have no Catholic agenda myself. I simply see the situation concerning these matters to be contrived, and pushed by persons who are motivated because of personal or financial agendas. IOW, Socialists, or those with the same mindset as the Nazis under Hitler.
They are one and the same in my view.
