“For about 20 years, left-wing academicians”

You must be relatively young. I can guarantee to you that it started WAY before 20 years ago.

In the mid-50s when Khrushchev was in power, in the then U.S.S.R., he said, paraphrasing, “Your children will be taught and you and they won’t know they are being taught.”

Had a bat$h*t second-grade teacher in the 1950s who made no effort to hide her contempt for me because I was what we now call “gifted.” She forced me to walk solo around the room and instructed the other children to laugh at me.

It was her way of forcing me into the “box” to make me a good little worker bee. I remember it was all about sharing and the group — individualism got my result.

Yep, socialism’s been marching through the institutions for a hundred years at least. We need to do the same thing if we want the pendulum to swing back.
