Part of the problem is....we’ve allowed the leftists to take over the running of our public school system AND to take over the mainstream media outlets for too long now.
Unless or until we can get equal control of both of those we will never have a chance to save this country. Just look at the media blitz & non-stop attacks and release of national security info. aimed against Bush for the past eight years (and even Reagan before him). With the low-quality/union and leftist-biased teachers indoctrinating half of US kids, we’ve allowed the lefties to create entire generations of dumbed-down, entitlement-minded morons.
Something’s gotta give....
if it’s not already too late.
Re: Schools
Government K-12 schools were a socialist wet dream from their beginning in the mid-19th century. The goal of those pushing government K-12 education was, is now, and always will be, turning the American people into socialist/Marxist sheep!
Therefore....It is impossible to “get control” of government education and “fix” it because it has never been broken. It is working admirably well in turning our children into Marxists. Government schools must be eliminated.
Solution: Conservatives must start private education foundations that would sponsor individual conservative teachers. These teachers could then open **free** mini-schools, homeschool cooperatives, and one room school houses. The foundations could certify the teachers, approve the curriculum, and test the students.
On the college level, conservatives must pool their money by donating to private education foundations. In this way the gifts to colleges and universities would be large enough that the money could have tight controlling strings.
Conservatives must also open new colleges and universities.
The media:
Saul Alinsky techniques can work both ways. Our conservative children ( educated in conservative institutions) can be just as effective in infiltration as the Marxists.
Re: Sports, Theater, and Arts
Conservatives must work to move these programs to the parks and recreation departments or provide free alternatives. Just look at any small town paper and see the “rah-rah” support generated for the government schools by these government supported sporting teams and other non-education school activities.
That is absolutely true. A characteristic of conservative people is to want to live your own life in a fruitful, cooperative manner, expecting that others will do likewise. Sadly, "others," in this case have been busy undermining our country and way of life.
