It’s really difficult to prepare your kids to die if the communist-Islamist coup takes complete hold, at the same time as telling them to study hard so they can get a scholarship to go to college. Cognitive dissonance, and both they and I know it.
I had a 3-hour conversation with my 10th-grade son on Monday night. He wished that I could talk to his AP government teacher, even though we both know that he wouldn’t really listen to a word I say. Neither the communists nor the Islamists have made any secret of their intentions, yet even after 9-11 people still think you’re crazy if you say there are people who want to destroy America and kill Americans. My son was sick last week so he was at home, and he did some reading, including reading the communist goals which were read into the Congressional record sometime in the 60’s. We both agreed that it is eerie to read the plan and see how utterly successful they have been. I read him parts of an interview by Yuri Bezmenov, describing the tactics of infiltrating the important positions in academia, media, business, government, etc. None of this stuff is secret.But after 9-11 the “cool people” STILL don’t believe it’s real. We’ve seen images of the Holocaust and know full well that we are dealing with people - now ALLIES OF THE SUPPOSED PRESIDENT - who believe the Jews had it coming and want to do it again.... yet most still think they are smart and cool if they call people “ëxtreme” simply for understanding history and the threats made against us. And that includes history/government teachers.
This form of government can only work with a people that is morally upright. America isn’t. Just like in Old Testament days, the Assyrians will be allowed to come in to wipe us out. Very, very difficult days ahead, and I think people have an uneasy realization of that in their gut, even while they deny it with their mouths.
10th grader should be about 15 or 16. What you are teaching him is the truth of what happened.
My grandbabies are also grandchildren of a couple that lived through Pol-Pot in Cambodia....
Public school history isn't going to work for my grandbabies.
Not from either side of the line.
