My wife is currently studying for her special educator's license. It is amazing to me the kind of leftist pap that is indoctrinated into teachers these days from their professors.

Case in point: My wife had to study an awful screed by ultra-leftist educator, Peter McLaren, that contained such thick liberal hyperbole as,

...a critical pedagogy that embraces a resistance post-modernism needs to construct a politics of refusal that can provide both the conditions for interrogating the institutionalization of formal equality based on the prized imperative of a white, Anglo male world and for creating spaces to facilitate an investigation of the way in which dominant institutions must be transformed so that they no longer serve simply as conduits for a motivated indifference to victimization for a Euroimperial aesthetics, for depredations of economic and cultural dependency, and for the production of asymmetrical relations of power and privilege...

This is the kind of elitist, anti-male, anti-Western mantra they're preaching in the name of "tolerance" and "multi-cultural solidarity".

Thank goodness my wife is too smart to buy into any of this soporific swill.

And this is just a portion of a sentence. If it wasn't for "white, Anglo male," and "Euroimperial," I would have no idea what he is talking about. Somebody (probably taxpayers) actually pays this guy to write this crap. And he's only one member of the horde which has been working for most of a century to eradicate genuine education from our nation. Separation of school and state is our only hope.

...not to mention that it's written with so many ridiculously pompous-sounding words that it's extremely hard to grasp the meaning..........or maybe that's the point.

I thank God that your wife is too intelligent to buy into this BS as well. But the problem in this country is that the education establishment (and the mainstream media as well) continue to push garbage such as this onto the country....and the majority of the population is NOT intelligent enough to see through it.

The folks on this forum can pick out media bias and educational propaganda in a sec.....but we are not the target audience. In a democracy such as ours, they only need to brainwash 51% to get what they want. In my estimation, only about 10% of the population can see what is going on...the rest lap this junk up like cats with milk. As for the Freeper 10%, we can just be ignored or intimidated while they continue to dismantle America.

Clearly, your wife has already been completely brainwashed by the white, Anglo, male culture to the point of subservience.

Any CULTURALLY SENSITIVE individual would know that a passage such as that should be posted in jive, so that such wisdom can be available to a broad segment of society in their native dialect:

...a critical pedagogy dat embraces some resistance post-modernism needs t'construct some politics uh refusal dat kin provide bod de condishuns fo' interrogatin' de institushunalizashun uh fo'mal equality based on de prized impuh'tive uh a honky, Anglo male wo'ld and fo' creatin' spaces t'facilitate an investigashun uh de way in which dominant institushuns gots'ta be transfo'med so's dat dey no longa' serve simply as conduits fo' some motivated indifference t'victimizashun fo' some Euroimpuh'ial aesdetics, fo' depredashuns uh economic and cultural dependency, and fo' de producshun uh asymmetrical relashuns uh powa' and privilege...

I'm sure that sentence would make perfect sense if you hadn't selfishly clipped off the beginning and the end. <8~)
