The left has never been about raising up human dignity and standards of living. It has always been about enforcing the lowest common denominator on everyone.
Very true about the lowest common denominator. And that’s what Common Core is all about.
Just let Progressives talk long enough and sooner or later the pure evil that is at the heart of their ideology will surface.
In short, they are lacking in a good education. They are therefore undereducated. That means increasing their level of knowledge so that they can distinguish a good argument from a really stupid one.
That’s right; when using racial lines no longer fit their mantra (due to the increasing number of poor whites), they had to change tactics. In a desperate pitch to keep non-black voters on board after years of a failed communist administration, they have to reach out to more gibsmedats by promising them equal outcomes for children born in a loving, caring family environment and those bred to provide a life of lazy leisure to self-centered “takers”.
While our founding documents may claim all men are created equal, God never promised that.
Your position on this depends on your goal: If you hope to drag everyone in society down to the lowest rung of the evolutionary and social ladder, avoid exposing your child to books at bedtime.
If your goal is to have every person in society achieve their full potential, do your part by reading to your child at bedtime.
“He goes on to say, “I had done some work on social mobility and the evidence is overwhelmingly that the reason why children born to different families have very different chances in life is because of what happens in those families.”
I think this is probably the biggest “NSS” statement of the year that I have seen so far………………….
what’s NSS ?
Great book. My mother’s aunt, who was a teacher in the NYC schools (1929-1959) gave us a discarded copy. Imagine trying to get that book in NYC schools today?
I read it when I was young kid ...... in the late 50’s
Like the Russian peasant, who envied his neighbor’s goat. When he found a magic lantern, and the genie offered him but one wish, he wished that the genie would kill his neighbor’s goat.
So if good parenting makes more successful children, let’s outlaw good parenting, and we can all be equally unhappy. A society full of unproductive misfits will be utopia. It will be just like a faculty lounge.
“No S??? Sherlock”?
But.... you don't get it. No amount of 'education' will fix that.
1. YURI BEZMENOV: Ideological subversion is the process which is legitimate and open. You can see it with your own eyes.... It has nothing to do with espionage.
I know that intelligence gathering looks more romantic.... That's probably why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond types of films. But in reality the main emphasis of the KGB is NOT in the area of intelligence at all. According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages. The first one being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism....
The result? The result you can see ... the people who graduated in the 60's, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational systems. You are stuck with them. You can't get through to them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.

Could be the American Dairy Council tried to have it banned because it gave away the secret getting butter without milk...
Guess they didn't foresee a shortage of tigers.
Apparently LBS was popular even among blacks since it portrayed a black kid in a positive light -smart and quick thinking, against the usual characterizations common at the time.
I look at it like they're educated beyond their intelligence.
