Liberalism is the lie that a person can construct, and then inhabit, a perfect internal world of their own making, a world in which nothing bad ever happens, a world in which the things they want to be true are always true and the things they want to be false are always false, a world constructed with some of the bits and pieces they see and experience in the outside world, bits and pieces that are carefully selected to fit.

Because this is a denial of reality, it takes energy and attention to sustain. It also means that when anyone else disrupts the peace and tranquility of the mental utopia, it is taken as an attack on the personal identity of the liberal victim.

It is my personal opinion that every person, in their late childhood, makes a fundamental decision about where “reality” will be for them: will it be the real world, which means they realize their thoughts must conform to that reality in terms of facts and principles, or are they free to build a reality of their own, in their own mind.

This is why it is so essentially important for the future of the nation that children be able to escape the liberal public education system and go to schools of their own choice. Liberals own the primary school education establishment. Liberals control the teacher credentialing mechanism; you cannot get a teacher's license unless you graduate from one of the schools they control. They also control the accreditation machinery. A school cannot get government funds unless it is accredited by liberals. They control the degree-granting mechanisms of higher education.

The only answer is homeschooling and vouchers to allow parents unable to homeschool to send their children to alternative schools that will be more to the parent's liking.

This “fragility” of the “liberal” worldview is the reason that they will not allow, and will use force if necessary to stop, any opposing viewpoints.
