America’s Students Are Morons Who Can’t Distinguish Real News From ‘Fake News’

Shockingly large numbers of America’s middle school, high school and even college students are stunningly unable to process the media information that sloshes over them on a daily basis, according to a study released this week by Stanford University’s History Education Group.

They are not remotely taught how to critically think.

************

That to me is the biggest failure of education in this country. The schools are only interested in indoctrinating and brainwashing students in leftist ideology. Instead of things like Common Core there should be required courses in the Socratic Method.

It is because we don’t have an “education” system. We have always had an indoctrination system since the Humanist/Communist John Dewey destroyed Classical Christian curricula in 1930. (Father of American “Education”—lol)

It is a “programming” system of dependency-—to embed dependency in all people put through the system of operant conditioning- (yes, like Pavlov’s dog) so that when people “graduate” from this programming system (using psychological warfare on minds of little children), they will be incapable of agency (thinking for themselves). They will only “believe” what is being broadcast from the MSM and if they ever hear the “Truth/God”, they will have cognitive dissonance to the degree that they will have to end all debate, etc. since they were programmed with lies all their lives so that Truth will offend and cause mental illness (literally).They were never taught the Socratic Method, the Aristotelian Logic, the beautiful Myths of Western Civilization-—it is all erased so they are ignorant and dumb for life.

Yuri Besmenov explained how the brainwashing /conditioning system works to destroy the integration of the brain in young children.

This is the intentional product of American “education”-—to destroy the mental ability of children to think for themselves.

Fichte stated in 1810 and it developed the Prussian system of indoctrination which we brought over to “America” by the evil Marxists/communists/sodomites (Fabian Socialists) . “Social” studies and peer pressure is their main system of destroying the love of true History, Truth/God, facts, etc., for “feelings”. Only Feelings rule people who graduate.....Reason is non-existent. They are conditioned to feel hate for God, Christianity, White heterosexual males, etc.

““Education should aim at destroying free will so that after pupils are thus schooled they will be incapable throughout the rest of their lives of thinking or acting otherwise than as their school masters would have wished ... The social psychologist of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for more than one generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen.”

We need PARENTS (male/female) to RAISE their OWN children and to allow them a NATURAL REALITY so they will never be susceptible and warped by irrationality where Up is Down and Boys are Girls, etc.

The Age of Reason and Modern Science and the Constitution was ONLY created by the Classical Chrisitan “thinkers”-—people with a Christian Worldview in childhood are only capable of Free Will and Individualism—thinking outside the State’s Box.

No doubt about that. The flower children of the 60’s have managed to screw up the country pretty well.

Reading and thing is OK, as long as you can question the common sense, physics, and probability tat stuff can really happen.

Of course, sometimes with the NE, you read it because it is so delicious because we WANT it to be true.

Well, that was the Soviet plan all along.

Add to that, the Black Power, , peace-queers, women’s rights, queer rights, animal rights and environmentalist whackos...and a few others whose names I forget.

The homeschooled remnant will save this nation ....if salvation is to be had at all.

Maybe they can arrange to send the living members of progressive cabals to mars.... in space vehicles engineered by publicly educated engineers?

They want their media Monopoly back.

Of course they want it back. The grand news is, they're not going to get it.

Most of this current generation-in-charge has no idea how the Internet (or computers, or software) functions; for every 'crackdown' on free speech attempted, a dozen work-arounds will be created by tech-savvy young people who may indeed have a difficult time distinguishing Jon Stewart-style "news" from the real deal, but they're able to recognize tyranny when they see it (vis-a-vis Internet freedom, at least) and are light years ahead of the ignorant overlords who'd try to control it via draconian measures. IMHO.

Half of American adults can distinguish real news from fake news. We sure can’t blame their children.
