Carr: 1984 in the classroom
Boston Herald ^ | Howie Carr

Posted on 11/23/2015 6:49:03 AM PST by outpostinmass2

At Triton Regional High School in Rowley, it’s 1984 — the novel, not the year.

The sniveling PC school 
administration is backing off now, but the 32-page questionnaire they were asking their middle and high school students to fill out last week is chilling. It’s downright totalitarian, and it’s put out by the Harvard School of Education, but I repeat myself.

The kids from the high and middle schools (the questionnaire included a box for 10-year-olds to check) were asked by the apparatchiks from the People’s Republic of Cambridge to rat out their parents for insufficient 
Political Correctness.

George Orwell’s Ministry of Love would have been 
impressed.

Here’s a typical question for the public-school kids of Rowley, Newbury and Salisbury: “In the past year, my parents have: Done or said things that make me less trusting of people of other races or ethnicities.” Check the box: Never, Once, 2-3 times, 4-5 times, 6 or more times.”

At what point does Big Brother step in to mandate re-education at Diversity University? Somewhere between never and once would be my guess.

Here’s another “benign” question, as the superintendent described what he’d seen before the Stalinists goose-stepped into Essex County.

“How fair is it that some people and families in this country have large amounts of money, while other people and families have very little money?”

The Harvard School of Education is one of N liberal oxymorons...where N is large number.

Exclude STEM departments, and Harvard standards are right down there with Yugo cars.

So-called “educators” do like to abuse children, no?

Critical Race Theory in practice, because we all know that only Whites can be racist. In 1984, the kids were rewarded for turning in their parents...exactly where this line of questioning is leading...

Yet people will continue to tell themselves “it can’t happen here”.

Insufficient. The school administrator needs to be fired. They need real consequences for their actions; not to just slither away.

Harvard used to be something special. Now its now just a national embarrassment unworthy of respect.

In Nazi Germany the kids were rewarded for turning in their parents.

” In the past year, my parents have: Done or said things that make me less trusting of people of other races or ethnicities.� Check the box: Never, Once, 2-3 times, 4-5 times, 6 or more times.”

The question should be...

“How has the behavior of people of certain ethnicity or races have made you less trusting of those ethnicity or races?”
