I went back to college and got my degree in 04 in California. I saw the indoctrination and heard the ideas (empty) of a lot of the students. It was shocking.
There would always be one or two students who understood the world. It was fun because it was two against the rest of the class AND the professor. We had some good debates....but my side had the facts to back it up. The ignorance of students was legend and could get depressing.
I had spent 6 years of listening to Savage at that time so was used to attacks and anger of left and after reading all the books recommended...like John Lott’s More Guns, Less Crime, I had facts to back up statements. I thank God everyday for Savage. He made me interested in politics and research. He made it so much fun.
I never state something without facts. I never raise my voice when talking with the liberal haters who will start to rant. I just list facts and I have effected some thinking OFF the allowed plantation in terribly liberal people. (I’m in Oregon now). I’ve seen the truth have an effect. It does work. That is why the left is frightened so much about Beck and the internet. The truth is getting through their filter which they had total control over for decades.
Some are totally on my page now....one at a time. It has to be done to save the future. I am doing this for my grandkids and children.
Beck is stating facts....I have read the books before he did, but he has taught me a few things. I read The Underground History of American Education so already knew about the Progressives and John Dewey, etc. I worked in public schools (as volunteer) for over 20 years. I know how children think and what they think. I raised 5 children and worked intensely with grandkids for several years. I understand IQ formation and emotional stability and the dynamics of family. It is crucial to understand, for those are the very issues the left is trying to destroy—IQ and family. The destruction of family is destroying morality which will destroy religion.
When I was in my middle 20s I was working in 1st grade as volunteer and I remembered being upset about the “values clarification” and other terms being used....GUT feeling that I remember even today but never understood. It is the injection of moral relativism into curricula to destroy moral absolutes and the Bible. Right from Nietzsche!
Knowledge is power. Learn as much as you can so you can gently refute the lies that constantly come to the surface. It can have an effect.
You might find it interesting that I, too, plan to teach. That’s how I know what they’re trying to force down our throats.
