But it won’t be dead in the state department of education. And if it is outlawed, it will be passed under another name.

State departments of education are snake pits of anti-Americanism.

Maybe the leftists need to find a leftist judge to nullify this.

Throwing money and authoritarian programs are not going to fix the education system. The failure of the education system tracks what is happening in society in general — the destruction of the family.

Two strikes against the child who comes from a broken home or a home with one or no parents (raised by extended family). This is the root of the problem and Liberals (and the rest) don’t want to talk about it.

Yep, I won’t believe it until they dissolve the Department of Education and remove the State control of “education” and return it to parents and the local government. Just Laws need to be returned to the mother and father and the legal system back to truth and reason—Natural Law (the Natural Family)—basis of our “justice system”. We have a Vice System now which will corrupt and destroy reason in children and normalize evil and vile use of other people along with self (transhumanism/dehumanism of J. Huxley).

That includes parents taking over the ENTIRE curricula-—and the Textbook companies who destroyed the Truth, banned Classical Christian curricula—have to be eliminated. Rhetoric and Classical Christian education has to be returned because it is the only worldview compatible with freedom, Natural Law and true “Justice”.

The textbook publishing agencies were responsible for the destruction of the minds of the masses-—literally—for the Prussian system of mass indoctrination with lies and moral relativism (chaos) which creates satanists and Marxists, and pagans where dependency and socialism are normalized so human beings can be objectified and used in diabolical, vile ways-—like with sodomy and baby-killing and theft of private property (socialism/Marxism).

The Age of Reason and Christian Ethics which founded the scholastic period, the Age of Reason and the Constitution of the USA has to be taught again—not banned. We have to get rid of the Prussian system of mass indoctrination which destroys free will and virtue formation of our children.

We truly live in Orwellian times where Up is Down, Vice is Virtue and Slavery is Freedom. We allow the State or Feds to control the minds of our children-—it is INSANE!!!!! It is more insane than allowing screens to form little children’s Reality and “truth”. EVERY founding father knew that government was evil and even Socrates knew that when the State controls “education” of the masses, they will make slaves only (for the state).

As long as there are standardized testing to measure student and teacher performance you will have some variant of common core or teaching to the test.

There is a lot of difficulty thinking about it, because our language has been corrupted, as “newspeak” predicted. Oddly enough, the reality of that language corruption dates all the way back to the founding of the country, as documented by Paine:
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built upon the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him, out of two evils to choose the least. Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others. - Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)

What "anti-Americanism” actually opposes is American society.

Socialism is naiveté towards government which is concomitant to cynicism towards society. Cynicism can be defined as “the conceit that ‘negativity is objectivity,’” and the sweeping judgementalism inherent in cynicism is inherently arrogant.

The reason journalism is so strongly drawn to socialism is that commercial general-interest journalism is at the same time self consciously negative (“If it bleeds, it leads,” “Man Bites Dog, not Dog Bites Man”) and presumptuously convinced of its own objectivity. The negativity towards society can only be objective if negativity is objectivity.

So journalism is cynical about society. But since as Paine suggests government is in a real sense the opposite of society, consistency demands that cynicism toward society corresponds, not to cynicism about government but to naiveté towards it.
