What should really make you puke is their insistence on universal preschool. Dewey wanted kids early but didn’t dare ask for earlier than 6 years old. Parents wouldn’t have allowed it them. The thought of strangers forming the thinking of children in formative years was suspect (which it should be). This sex education in grade schools (remember bambi wants it in K.) is all directly from Marcuse—Freudian-Marxism. I would never allow my child to be in public school nowadays....never.
I will write some—soon—I think I am going to get my computer tomorrow. :) I was going to get my masters in Curriculum but think I am too old to spend that kind of money and time to make that much difference anyway.
Yes, I grew up during that 60’s revolution but I had solid Catholic upbringing (moral absolutes) that protected me from falling for the garbage....I looked the part, but bluffed my way through a few years of college indoctrination. My sister was 5 years younger and had went to public schools and didn’t have the same foundation.
She had written a paper on “death” in high school. I still have the paper...it seemed so odd to me until I read about Columbine classes, and it all rang a bell.
My sister was 19 years old, very cute and fun. She got involved with hippies in a commune and it all went downhill from there and she took her own life with a gun. She had a lot of artistic talent—more than me. It was a waste.
I was married by then, was in another state, and had children right away.
How terrible, Savagesusie. How horrible.
You have knowledge and spirit and a desire to communicate.
I look forward to whatever you write, and I will ping the lists.
