Why the Classroom Activists Never Give Up

“The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.” - Abraham Lincoln

It is often said that when something controversial is being pounded into the public via media headlines, there is something else that is going on behind the scenes that the public is being distracted from. This is certainly the case with America’s education system. While the public has been hammered with a full-frontal assault by activists pushing Critical Race Theory and gender ideology in the schools overtly, there has also been a covert assault from the flank called Social-Emotional Learning or SEL.

Social-Emotional Learning supposedly arose out of the COVID-19 pandemic and a need to attend to the emotional psyches of fragile youth. It is a shift in the role of a teacher from an educator to a therapist and places a high value on a child’s emotional competency over academic performance. After locking kids in their homes, isolating them from their peers, muzzling them with ineffective face diapers, and pounding them with fear and doom for 2 years, activists have swooped in to provide emotional support in the classroom once they were permitted to return.

They never give up because they still have their jobs.

From the article: “It is for this reason that parents must continue to stay engaged in their children’s education and challenge educators, administrators, and school boards when they veer from the mandate they’ve been entrusted with.”
^^^^^^^^^

Remove your children from this toxic soup. Immediately!

Then work on the total shut-down of the government K-12 system. It can **not** be reformed!

“Based on the work of postmodern critic James Lindsey, Daws suggests that the opening salvo of CRT was to tear down approved identity in the youth. It imparts guilt, shame, and social rejection of majority identities like whiteness, maleness, a binary gender paradigm, or even heterosexuality. Once a person has been made to reject their own race, gender, or sexuality, it is followed up with an approved list of identities from which they can choose in order to be socially accepted.”

That’s defenitely the plan. It’s identity politics (war? ) at its best.

And we white, straight conservatives refuse to see it as a war against us collectively , against who we are. We have this naive notion that we’re just individuals that should be judged on our individual merits not the group we belong to.

But what if the other side judges you first by the group you’re part of and paints you individually with whatever “evil” (mostly imagined) they ascribe to your group?

So the 64k question is, how much more abuse are we white, heterosexual going to put up with until we start fighting back as an organized, effective, take-no-prisoner group and defend our groups interests against the onslaught from other groups?

One of the biggest hurdle we have to overcome is the enemy within - all the self loathing whites who are spearheading the destruction of their own race.

“They never give up because they still have their jobs.”

They never give up because they’re winning and we as a group are letting them walk all over us.

So why should they ever be satisfied with their winnings when they can keep on winning against us surrender monkeys?

Remember the TV spots saying “It’s ok to not be ok.”?

Pure propaganda, right up there with the absurd #AloneTogether, and the term “new normal.”

Blatant, in-your-face conditioning. That crap was everywhere for close to two years.

“Another Reason to Homeschool.”

That ain’t going to cut it.

It’s like a few disorganized snipers against the Wehrmacht.

We (our side) need to form a united, organized, motivated army who will go on offense and clearly see the other side as the enemy to be destroyed.

Individual acts of courage, though well intended, won’t suffice.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Homeschooling is exploding.

It’s more than a few disorganized snipers and the homeschooled kids are not being brainwashed and conditioned.

Yes! The CCP is smart.

They infiltrated the administrators first who then chose the teachers - all fellow travelers.

A few years back a small town school in which I taught was 'granted' a Chinese teacher and lots of Chinese decorations and cultural exhibits.

Now realizing it was just cultural grooming.

“Homeschooling is exploding.

I applaud people who homeschool, but it’s still a tiny fraction of the education world.

What’s needed are thousands of activist parents protesting school boards, teacher unions, politicos who support this crap, etc. IOW, making their lives miserable. Taking the battle to their grounds.

It’s this type of in your face activism that has worked so well for the left.

Our side is way too nice and respectful - at some point we need to go postal, or they’ll bury us.

I realize it’s a lot easier said than done, but where there is a will there is a way.

And the “will” will come when we finally collectively realize that we have only two choices - knuckle under every abuse from the Left, or destroy them, because that’s what they’re doing to us.

It’s really come down to it’s either us or them. They will not accept a rational middle ground.

I could not agree more.

We are too *nice* and niceness is going to kill us.

Re: a motivated army

I completely agree. Homeschooling one’s own children is not enough. We do need a well motivated army dedicated to shutting all government schooling, abolishing the teachers’ unions, ending all schools of education, thorough reform of all post high school training, and eliminating as much college as possible.

By the way, “Another Reason to Homeschool” is metmom’s ping list for school issues. I recommend this ping list for keeping up on the latest school outrages.

Amen brother......... preach it like it is!

Conservatives are at base cowards who gather in the center of the arena to be eaten by lions (and an occasional tiger and hyena)

Think differently? then where is the Tea Party?
