1.My fav of Shakespeare’s sonnets is number 65, which begins

Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea

But sad mortality o’er-sways their power,

How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,

Whose action is no stronger than a flower?

O, how shall summer’s honey breath hold out

Against the wrackful siege of batt’ring days,

When rocks impregnable are not so stout,

Nor gates of steel so strong, but time decays?



Sadly, the beauty that Shakespeare had in mind could be compared to America, if one recognizes the ‘wrackful siege’ of communism and its apparatchiks in the education industry.




2. Howard Zinn’s Marxist A People’s History of the United States, Is on one of the most commonly used sources to teach American history. Zinn’s book has sold over 2.6 million copies .... I was disappointed to see that even some of the members of one of the home school groups to which I belonged used it, totally unaware of Zinn’s background.

3.This was in a post of mine from 2012:

"Not surprisingly, irrefutable evidence has emerged that the man who hated America for at least 70 of his 87 years was .....Hate-America Howie was — a Communist. We always knew that was the worldview of his heart. But now it turns out that he made it official. Hate-America Howie was a formal member of the Communist Party-USA.

Hate America Howie (HAH) taught a class on "Basic Marxism" at party headquarters in Brooklyn, N.Y., advising his "students" that the basic teachings of Marx and Lenin "were sound and should be adhered to by those present"; HAH was a pro-Castro activist and backed radical groups such as the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Socialist Workers Party (SWP), Progressive Labor Party, and Black Panther Party; supported a Communist victory in Vietnam, visiting the Communist regime in Hanoi (ala "Hanoi Jane" Fonda — who — BTW — paid tribute to Howie upon his departure); in 1962, while President John F. Kennedy warned the Soviets to back off or suffer the consequences, HAH — at his quisling best — publicly protested the U.S. demand for withdrawal of missiles from Cuba ("hence," according to Kincaid, "Zinn wanted the United States and its citizens to be vulnerable to a Soviet nuclear attack" — Attention, parlor pinks: Note this great nice guy humanitarian's wish for you and me was nearly 10 years after Stalin died); a video tribute to Zinn was posted by the pro-Marxist Institute for Policy Studies (IPW)"

Honestly it's doubtful that it will happen, unless the Americans get mad-dog mean enough to bury their domestic enemies.

Unfortunately, that sort of will has been "educated" out of the psyche of recent generations.

5. You, the taxpayers, are paying for the Marxist indoctrination of our children.

“…Howard Zinn’s Marxist A People’s History of the United States, and produced by the Zinn Education Project.

By 2018, 84,000 teachers had downloaded their lessons. School districts pay for ZEP organizers to give workshops to teachers and librarians on such things as Islamophobia, climate change, and the labor movement. ZEP lessons are bracketed by such accusations against our president as spewing “racist rhetoric” and conducting a “war on immigrants.” At the prompting of the Southern Poverty Law Center, South Carolina adopted ZEP materials for use statewide in the teaching of Reconstruction. Like the passage of laws for child labor, food safety, and civil rights, Reconstruction is presented as a failure of an irredeemable American system.”
Stop Subsidizing Zinn’s Communist History of the United States




6. We, Americans, pay to this indoctrination against America and Americanism.

Has a familiar ring to it….

Stalin said, “As long as capitalism and socialism exist, we cannot live in peace. ... This matter brings to mind a saying attributed to Socialist Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin: the last capitalist we hang shall be the one who sold us the rope.

They use our freedom against us…..and I see no way American can withstand this attack.
 
Howard Zinn’s Marxist A People’s History of the United States, Is on one of the most commonly used sources to teach American history.



7. “Zinn lied about the discovery, as well as about the colonists, the Indians, the Founding, slavery, the Civil War, women’s rights, both World Wars, the Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Vietnam War. Government documents are selectively quoted to make it appear that the war in Indochina was motivated by imperialistic desires for resources—instead of the actual expressed desire to stop Soviet and Chinese imperialism. Ho Chi Minh embodied the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson. My Lai was typical of American soldiers’ conduct.

Taxpayers pay for such continuing education courses for which teachers earn credit and consequently advance in their careers and salaries. Tuition, travel, materials, and facilities do not come cheap. The Smithsonian, the nation’s museum, was allocated one billion dollars this year.” Stop Subsidizing Zinn’s Communist History of the United States




8. Just as Joseph Stalin was able to run circles around Franklin Roosevelt, the Left’s dominance continues in the area of dissemination of information.

And the intellectually lazy are easy victims....and are Democrat voters.
 
9.The indoctrination continues in university and beyond. Leftists have achieved near total control of teacher training, teachers, and teaching. It is difficult to see how American values and attitudes can ever return to the classroom.


" At a recent meeting of the New York Teaching Fellows program (“Teach for America”: provides an alternate route to state certification for about 1,700 new teachers annually) , Sol Stern found the one book that the fellows had to read in full was Pedagogy of the Oppressed, by the Brazilian [Marxist] educator Paulo Freire.


This book has achieved near-iconic status in America’s teacher-training programs....Pedagogy of the Oppressed was one of the most frequently assigned texts in their philosophy of education courses.


...Pedagogy of the Oppressed mentions none of the issues that troubled education reformers throughout the twentieth century: testing, standards, curriculum, the role of parents, how to organize schools, what subjects should be taught in various grades, how best to train teachers, the most effective way of teaching disadvantaged students.


This ed-school bestseller is, instead, a utopian political tract calling for the overthrow of capitalist hegemony and the creation of classless societies.

The pedagogical point of Freire’s thesis is its opposition to taxing students with any actual academic content, which Freire derides as “official knowledge” that serves to rationalize inequality within capitalist society."
Pedagogy of the Oppressor by Sol Stern City Journal Spring 2009

In 2003, David Steiner and Susan Rozen published a study examining the curricula of 16 schools of education—14 of them among the top-ranked institutions in the country, according to U.S. News and World Report—and found that Pedagogy of the Oppressed was one of the most frequently assigned texts in their philosophy of education courses. Pedagogy of the Oppressor

Bill Ayers is the perfect example of what we are talking about: destroyers of American education, and American students.




10. Because of his close and long association with the President of the United States, Professor Bill Ayers' aims in the education of American youth is both pertinent and poignant.

"From his post as Professor of Education, William Ayers became a leading advocate of "social justice" teaching, i.e., getting students to believe that they are victims of an unjust, oppressive and racist America. After a few years of this indoctrination,young people are ripe targets for community organizers to mobilize them to vote and carry out "revolution."


Sol Stern of the Manhattan Institute describes Education Professor William Ayers asone of the leaders in "bringing radical social-justice teaching into our public school classrooms." Most of Ayers's socialist propaganda is financed with taxpayers' money at state universities and teachers colleges.


Ayers teaches that America is oppressive and unjust, that wealth and resources should be redistributed, and that only socialism can solve our problems. He speaks openly of his desire to use America's public school classrooms to train a generation of revolutionaries who will overturn the supposedly imperialistic regime of capitalist America.
[Clearly, Ayers and Obama are soul mates in this endeavor.]



The code words for the Ayers curriculum are "social justice," a "transformative" vision, "critical pedagogy," "liberation," "capitalist injustices," "critical race theory," "queer theory," and of course multiculturalism and feminism." Social Justice Code Word for Anti-Americanism -- January 2009 Phyllis Schlafly Report



And therein, the explanation for 55% of the youth vote going for this failed, and anti-American President, Hussein Obama.

And their next vote.....will it be for an American or an anti-America candidate?

What do you think?

You conservatives just keep on blaming others for your lack of popularity instead of examining your policies. You'll go the way of the dodo as each generation mores further and further to the left. Keep rearranging those deckchairs and ignore that approaching iceberg.

No?



Then just slither away.
 
long time no see PC,

took a leave of absence for educational reason. Political reasons.....

I'm reading Zinn right now.

to his credit he admitted to being a socialist and telling the side of the "oppressed"

Good that you're back.

But Zinn wasn't a socialist....he was a card carrying communist.


Few know that Zinn was an avowed communist who hated America.
The FBI released the files.....


"On July 30, 2010, the FBI released one file with three sections totaling 423 pages on Howard Zinn.... The Bureau noted Zinn’s activities in what were called Communist Front Groups and received informant reports that Zinn was an active member of the CPUSA; .... file discloses that several reliable informants in the party identified Zinn as a member whoattended party meetings as many as five times a week.


What’s more, one of the files reveals that a reliable informant provided a photograph of Zinn teaching a class on “Basic Marxism” at party headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, in 1951. A participant in the class said that Zinn taught that “the basic teaching of Marx and Lenin were sound and should be adhered to by those present.”...


...pro-Castro activism and support for radical groups such as the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Progressive Labor Party (PLP), Socialist Workers Party (SWP), and Black Panther Party. Much of the latter was in connection with Zinn’s support for a communist military victory in Vietnam....


.... joined the Kremlin-controlled CPUSA not during the “Popular Front” era of the 1930s — when many idealists were seduced — but after the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in which Stalin cruelly and cynically sacrificed Poland to the Nazis.


Zinn was a card-carrying Commie who advocated Marxism-Leninism after the Red Army’s ”Iron Curtain” occupation of Eastern Europe, after the treachery of the Rosenbergs and Alger Hiss had been revealed, and even during the height of Stalin’s anti-Semitic “Doctors’ Plot” purge!"

1.My fav of Shakespeare’s sonnets is number 65, which begins

Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea

But sad mortality o’er-sways their power,

How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,

Whose action is no stronger than a flower?

O, how shall summer’s honey breath hold out

Against the wrackful siege of batt’ring days,

When rocks impregnable are not so stout,

Nor gates of steel so strong, but time decays?



Sadly, the beauty that Shakespeare had in mind could be compared to America, if one recognizes the ‘wrackful siege’ of communism and its apparatchiks in the education industry.

I was disappointed to see that even some of the members of one of the home school groups to which I belonged used it, totally unaware of Zinn’s background.

Hate America Howie (HAH) taught a class on "Basic Marxism" at party headquarters in Brooklyn, N.Y., advising his "students" that the basic teachings of Marx and Lenin "were sound and should be adhered to by those present"; HAH was a pro-Castro activist and backed radical groups such as the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Socialist Workers Party (SWP), Progressive Labor Party, and Black Panther Party; supported a Communist victory in Vietnam, visiting the Communist regime in Hanoi (ala "Hanoi Jane" Fonda — who — BTW — paid tribute to Howie upon his departure); in 1962, while President John F. Kennedy warned the Soviets to back off or suffer the consequences, HAH — at his quisling best — publicly protested the U.S. demand for withdrawal of missiles from Cuba ("hence," according to Kincaid, "Zinn wanted the United States and its citizens to be vulnerable to a Soviet nuclear attack" — Attention, parlor pinks: Note this great nice guy humanitarian's wish for you and me was nearly 10 years after Stalin died); a video tribute to Zinn was posted by the pro-Marxist Institute for Policy Studies (IPW)"

I think conservatives--true to form--begged out of the fight as soon as it began and now just wail and moan about the results. Again. True to form.

So much whining. So little action.

If not for the Lord, I'd be lost in despair over America. I honestly don't see how we can turn academia around now. For me, for some reason, Arnold's Dover Beach comes to mind whenever I regard America's future in its clutches. Well, actually, I know why in spite of the European landscape.

The sea is calm tonight.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.

Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the Ægean, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.

The Sea of Faith
Was once, too, at the full, and round earth’s shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.
But now I only hear
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.

Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.



Also, with hat in hand to T. S. Elliot, I wrote the following several years ago, same theme:

Let us go then, you and me,
And stroll beneath a cloudy sea
As evening spreads across its face like a toothless grin.
Let us go a-meandering down narrow-minded suburban lanes,
Silky slick with sullen rains
And hemmed in by redundant four-bedroom stalls and grated sewage drains;
Past the immaculate parks and the quaint, steepled churches,
the lofty perches,​
Where the vagabond Riffraff lurches in the pristine shadows:
A restless Crowd that chases dreams of easy grace and meadows
And sings a melancholy hymn, a petulant brew, that lingers at your nervebone.

A chorus of crickets roll their eyes
And dance beneath the cloudy skies.

The Air is still tonight—drenched with slumber.
A withered leaf dodders on spindly legs across Its gnarled spine.
And above the tiny rustlings, above the glistening lanes,
Above the languid shadows that creep and close
on the mournful strains—​
The Stars draw back the shroud and peep,
Shake their bearded chins, cast their pearly eyes away and weep.
And below, crookbacked lampposts unfurl their hazy-white plumes and glare
At the four-footed heaps, at the white picket fences,
At the cracks in the sidewalks, at the manicured grasses,
As the musty night seeps through our senses.
And through the parlor windows we may see, you and I,
The flickering glow of that babbling flow on the walls:
The Soma of the enervated masses.

Morpheus has alighted on his throne at the commencement
of another dreary evening. . . .​

long time no see PC,

took a leave of absence for educational reason. Political reasons.....

I'm reading Zinn right now.

to his credit he admitted to being a socialist and telling the side of the "oppressed"


Good that you're back.

But Zinn wasn't a socialist....he was a card carrying communist.


Few know that Zinn was an avowed communist who hated America.
The FBI released the files.....


"On July 30, 2010, the FBI released one file with three sections totaling 423 pages on Howard Zinn.... The Bureau noted Zinn’s activities in what were called Communist Front Groups and received informant reports that Zinn was an active member of the CPUSA; .... file discloses that several reliable informants in the party identified Zinn as a member whoattended party meetings as many as five times a week.


What’s more, one of the files reveals that a reliable informant provided a photograph of Zinn teaching a class on “Basic Marxism” at party headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, in 1951. A participant in the class said that Zinn taught that “the basic teaching of Marx and Lenin were sound and should be adhered to by those present.”...


...pro-Castro activism and support for radical groups such as the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Progressive Labor Party (PLP), Socialist Workers Party (SWP), and Black Panther Party. Much of the latter was in connection with Zinn’s support for a communist military victory in Vietnam....


.... joined the Kremlin-controlled CPUSA not during the “Popular Front” era of the 1930s — when many idealists were seduced — but after the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in which Stalin cruelly and cynically sacrificed Poland to the Nazis.


Zinn was a card-carrying Commie who advocated Marxism-Leninism after the Red Army’s ”Iron Curtain” occupation of Eastern Europe, after the treachery of the Rosenbergs and Alger Hiss had been revealed, and even during the height of Stalin’s anti-Semitic “Doctors’ Plot” purge!" FBI Files Reveal Historian Howard Zinn Lied to Hide CPUSA Membership

Now that our most recent venture is up and running smoothly, my wife and I have more time to commit to the college outreach program. i have more disposable income to contribute to the various national organizations fighting this scourge. I remain resolute, really, but I still can't help but think it's too late.
