Government Schools at the Root of Our Problem.

If you’ve been following my rants (and you three know who you are), you know how I feel about the current Marxist mess laughingly referred to as the government schools. While there are some exceptions, due to the homogenization of teacher training, textbooks, curricula, the threat by the DOE (which MUST be abolished!) to deny “federal money” (whatever that is) for not toeing the DOE mark, etc., they are very rare.

Let’s flashback a few decades to a remark made by that radical Christian conservative/constitutionalist Dr. Gary North. It was he who opined – correctly based on recent events – that the humanists/Marxists would take America by “…capturing the robes.” He was derided and ridiculed at the time by many Americans for making what the quasi and arch humanists in the media for making what they declared to be a ludicrous statement.

What he meant by that prophetic remark was that “Those institutions in Western Civilization that have been marked by robes — the clergy, the judiciary, and university professors — were targeted a century ago by conspiratorial groups. These groups did everything they could to capture the leadership of each group, in order to mold public opinion. They have been remarkably successful in their efforts.”

(You may read one of Dr. North’s papers from which I “borrowed” the cite above here.) http://reformed-theology.org/ice/books/conspiracy/html/1.htm

While all three are critical, the growth of humanism has made the clergy less important in the America of Barack Obama. The alleged “educators” (more accurately “change agents”) in the government run or curriculum dictated school systems now appear to have more influence as they play early and key roles in the indoctrination of those who eventually enter the clergy and judiciary and, equally destructive in an age of universal suffrage, those MILLIONS who go on to simply cast votes for our alleged “leaders.” If those millions of voters are denied necessary – and once widespread -- training in CRITICAL THINKING, they will be easily led to follow the most gifted liar running for a given office because they fail to do the due diligence necessary to keep the liars and charlatans away from the levers of power. (“The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.” H.L.Mencken) You may have heard me remark that the current government school indoctrination system didn’t just make Obama possible. It made him INEVITABLE!

I have frequently lamented the schizophrenia of American parents who have achieved economic and social “success” within the private property, free enterprise system the Founders sought to leave us. They feel compelled to send their offspring to expensive institutions of “higher learning,” only to be shocked when their kids return to them radical humanist Marxists who despise that system and resent the very wealth that made their “education” possible.

While some attribute the phenomenon to “youthful idealism,” trust me when I tell you that the system was engineered to produce that result.

The solution is to abolish the DOE, dismantle the entire rotten system, put education on a parental choice, competitive, free market basis (which has produced far superior results for FAR LESS MONEY). If we fail to get a handle on this problem, those who somehow survived the present system with functioning brains will look back from the reeducation camps at Obama as the “good old days.”

Dr. North explains how we got here in the paper at the link above. Please read and share it.

This will really get you. I teach “at risk” teenage boys. Last week none of them could name one state in this country besides the one they live in. All of them attended public schools before getting removed or kicked out .

However, I did home educate my children throughout til graduation.

“They dismissed everything I said as “Faux News propaganda” and said they didn’t want to talk about.”

I run into the same exact reaction from all libs, even my own sister who wasn’t raised to be what she and my brother in law have become. It’s beyond frustrating. And these same people watch MSNBC, Jon Stewart/Colbert and the alphabet networks (of course, that’s not propaganda, right? /s)

Even worse, they think what they are hearing on CBS, NBC, ABC is “fair and balanced.”

I’m an educated, involved mom, the sort who could be on PTAs, volunteer in classrooms, make sure homework gets done. Only thing is I’ll wrestle alligators naked before I let my kid near a government school. We’re going to homeschool, which as you point out means my energies won’t be going to fix the system. I don’t feel bad about that. My clear moral duty is to my own child’s welfare first.

The problem isn’t parents like me who are devoted to our own kids. The problem is parents who couldn’t care less, who ship their kids off and trust the goverment to do the raising. The sooner that system collapses in on itself, the better for all involved.
