1. Perhaps you have heard this criticism of government schooling: our students cannot complete with most other advanced nations.
This is the result of an education system that functions via Mushroom Management.... ….they treat students like mushrooms….keep them in the dark and feed them….manure.


2. "...the Left Wants Twitter Over Tolstoy in Our Schools
If one leftist teachers group gets its way, reading literature in school will be replaced by reading internet memes and Twitter posts.

A powerful group of educators called the National Council of Teachers of English recently released a statement calling on schools to “decenter book reading and essay writing as the pinnacles of English language arts education.”

But why?

To more thoroughly push its leftist ideology, of course.
The statement goes on to support critical pedagogies, referring to Marxist ideas, a la critical race theory. It reads,

Educators value the use of teaching and learning practices that help to identify and disrupt the inequalities of contemporary life, including structural racism, sexism, consumerism, and economic injustice. Critical pedagogies help learners see themselves as empowered change agents, able to imagine and build a better, more just world.




3. The left frequently attacks traditional educational strategies like reading classical literature as upholding white supremacy.

Founded in 1911, the National Council of Teachers of English boasts that it has 25,000 members across the country that receive its materials and recommendations. One English teacher in Massachusetts bragged about getting Homer’s epic poem “The Odyssey” removed from her school’s curriculum, while the journalists at NPR extoll listeners to “decolonize” their bookshelves.

The group goes full radical Marxist by saying kids should learn critical literacy and critical media literacy, dropping all pretense of neutrality. “Critical” here is a thinly veiled code for Marxist-style ideology."



4. Authors from times past still offer valuable lessons and insight into the human condition, and as a society, we suffer enormously when we replace them with quick quips from Twitter.

Indeed, it’s our obsession with reducing messages to sound bites and 280-character tweets that’s part of the cause of today’s moral rot. Distilling strong values and lessons about what it means to be good people and good citizens is impossible under such conditions.

Literature takes effort and skill to unpack, but the value is immeasurable.





5. When you see what the Left/Democrats have done and are doing to education, keep this in mind:

" In October 1919, Lenin paid a secret visit to the laboratory of the great physiologist I. P. Pavlov, a Russian physiologist known chiefly for the concept of the conditioned reflex. In his classic experiment, he found that a hungry dog can be trained to associate the sound of a bell with food and will salivate at the sound even in the absence of food.



Lenin wanted to find out if his work on the conditional reflexes of the brain might help the Bolsheviks control European behaviour.



“I want the masses of Russia to follow a Communistic pattern of thinking and reacting,” Lenin explained. Pavlov was astounded. It seemed that Lenin wanted him to do for humans what he had already done for dogs.

“Do you mean that you would like to standardise the population of Russia? Make them all behave in the same way?” he asked. “Exactly” replied Lenin. Man can be corrected. Man can be made what we want him to be.”…

Keep calm it's all in the plan

The way I look at it all is to ask myself -- "what is the most primitive human construct?". The answer is "the tribe". It isn't
about ideals and principles forming the basis for the human construct, but blood.

The left, today, is all ABOUT tribe and absolutely despises actual ideals and principles. The left is now the very least liberal element of society.

Excellent!


Reminds me of this:

“The real threat of contemporary mass society [is]…that it has recently shown a tendency to renounce the principle of achievement as a factor in the struggle of certain groups for power, and has suddenly established blood and other criteria as the major factors to the far-reaching exclusion of the achievement principle.”
Karl Mannheim, “ Man and Society,” p. 91

If we recognize race, ethnicity and sex as the basis for reward, it becomes clear that the achievement principle has been discarded in America today.

We don't have an education system any longer.

Since the Democrats have taken it over.....

The "medical profession" now tells black folks to be morbidly obese:


Their troops in the medical profession must think all blacks are obese:
. In the face of the facts about how deadly the covid virus is to overweight, obese, individuals, these racists, Democrats in doctors garb, must believe that blacks are largely overweight (no pun intended) and therefore, as a "medical fact"....

"Obesity affects some groups more than others​

Non-Hispanic Black adults (49.6%) had the highest age-adjusted prevalence of obesity,

Rather than offer plans to mitigate obesity......these racists encourage it:

"WC4BL also promotes what appear to be significant medical falsehoods. For example, they seek to “deconstruct the falsehood that weight equates to health, including ending the use of BMI.”
