While I agree with you and Rush 100%, I am suggested a different approach.

Education in America was in effect undermined by the liberals back in the 60’s and 70’s. (we could go back further) I contend that short of closing all public schools, we can not take them on directly.

Therefore, I purpose an effort to undermine them is the only option. An effort that appeals to the inherent truths of human nature.

As I stated in the original post.

Nothing overt

Must remain a mystery to be solved

This will take some creativity, however it is very doable.

FWIW, you and Rush are in good company. The Framing generation considered education of our young in the principles of republicanism to be of utmost importance.

A major criticism of the Constitution was the absence of a Bill of Rights. Aside from its obvious protections, they viewed a BOR as sort of a text for continuing education in the foundations of our society.

The reason some societies held on to their God given rights like jealous lovers was because they were reminded of them often in schools, newspapers and public proclamations. In Great Britain, Magna Charta was read twice a year in public places, not that it would lose its validity without such confirmations, but to fix the contents of it in the minds of the people.

If neglected, we were sure to descend to the pitiful condition of man in mainland Europe, where they accepted their very existence to be at the whim of despots.

A republic cannot be maintained by a people ignorant of the traditions and ideas essential to their political happiness. We are very close to accepting the slavish condition endured by most men throughout history.
