Government schools: Cultivating the stupidest generation
World Net Daily ^ | March 12, 2021 | Patrice Lewis

American schools are cultivating ignorance in children. The goal of public education no longer is to teach; it is to indoctrinate students with a radical left-wing agenda. Academic achievement is not required or even desirable.

Want proof? Look no further than the "ethnomathematics" curriculum spreading like wildfire. "Apparently, one example of 'white supremacy' in math is teachers asking students to 'show their work' when solving math problems," observes Jarrett Stepman with the Daily Signal. "According to class materials, this requirement reinforces 'worship of the written word as well as paternalism.' Students are encouraged to make TikTok videos rather than bow to the 'paternalism' of writing things down."

Putting aside the ethics of turning math into a racist subject, a practical question remains: Why aren't children being taught math? How will they function as adults if they're unable to add two and two? How will they balance their checkbooks, handle a bank loan, calculate a tip, or make change at a store? Why are children deliberately being kept stupid? Why does public education exist at all if its only goal is to keep children ignorant? That is not a rhetorical question; I honestly want to know. What is the purpose of school if no one will be taught that 2+2=4? Or worse, that the correct answer to 2+2 is racist? The answer is obvious: school is to indoctrinate, not teach.

So yes, schools today are deliberately cultivating ignorance. Math is racist, history is racist, science is racist (or sexist or patriarchal, take your pick), language arts are racist, geography is racist.

Apparently, it's preferable in school for children to know they are victims of racism but not of educational neglect in being unable to add two and two.

Compliance with leftists is the goal not education.

Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education and industrial production, etc. etc.

— Tenth plank of communism

Education of all children, from the moment they can leave their mother’s care, in national establishments at national cost. Education and production together.

— Tenth plank of communism as articulated in The Principles of Communism

"Public school educated yutes are gonna love the new war in the Middle East and the Universal Draft to go along with it."

That is a distinct possibility since recruiters are having trouble making their quotas.

The other day there was a thread about a lad with a 0.13 GPA who was in the top half of his class.

That doesn’t happen without that school being organized to be soul crushing ignorance machine ... that otherwise functioned as a daycare center.

Then they will learn, a little too late, that "racist" math is important.

When they call in a smart bomb strike to their own location, rather than the enemy's.

The other side will just have to stand around an watch our math illiterates kill themselves off.

From the article: Maybe – at last – parent will wake up and refuse to put their children through this kind of hell.

Not likely... Parents have, for the most part, been indoctrinated by the same bankrupt education system.

If they were failing our kids on spelling, English, geography, and
math, it would be bad enough.

Sadly, they are lowering the bar on these things, while they raise the
bar for things kids have no need to know.

Schools have become front men for LGBT, Leftist PC-think, and
Communism.

Teachers and supervisors shouldn’t just be let go, they should
be tried for the assault on traditional values for minors
that can’t object to protect themselves.

A good portion of the people involved in education today should
be registered and never be allowed to be alone to supervise
children again.

Once infected with leftism, these schools teach children to hate reason, tradition, America, Christianity, whites, excellence, freedom and masculinity.

To cite one example, thanks to a million-dollar grant from Bill Gates through his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Oregon Education Department has announced that

teaching there is “one right answer” in math — yes, in math — is an expression of white supremacy.

A blonde high school biology student conducts an experiment on grasshoppers.

She pulls off one of its legs at a time and yells, “Hop.”

The grasshopper hops each time until all of its legs are gone.

The blonde concludes: when all the legs of a grasshopper are removed, it becomes deaf.

Didn’t they dumb down the grading system enough that he could get a 3.8 average yet? What’s wrong with them.
