The Death Of Education

1. Today, the education industry uses minimal educating as a beard for its true purpose: turning out 'Lock-Step Liberals' who obligingly vote for policies they can neither explain nor defend.
In due credit, no other government agency has been as efficient nor successful as government schooling.

2. Need proof? One such would be to ask any Liberal/Democrat to state which three or four books have informed their geopolitical outlook.....you've get the proverbial deer-in-the-headlights face.

Or....simply look at the outcome of government schooling:
"For Blazquez, watching American youth embrace avowed socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders for president, strikes him as “absurd.” It is the end result, he says, of the cultural marxist education and media propaganda that has anesthetized too many Americans who do not defend the values that made America exceptional."

3. It goes wayyyyyyy back.
Just as Stalin was far smarter than his vassal, Franklin Roosevelt, the Soviets put the poison pill into our system with John Dewey.

The Soviet Potemkin Villages worked like a charm…..on the least insightful: American Progressives and Liberals…..the same sort who vote Democrat today.

One of the most significant dupes is the man who has had more of an effect on American children than even Santa Clause…….Communist John Dewey. He dictated how our children would be ‘educated’ in government schools, for a totalitarian society.


In 1928, Dewey, on his trip to the Soviet, was given the full Potemkin treatment. He laughed off the possibility of his being manipulated…”the warning, which appears humorous in retrospect by my kindly friends is that I would be fooled by being taken to show places…” Of course, immediately upon returning, he wrote a six part series for The New Republic, the political ‘font of all knowledge’ of the American left. “My mind was in a whirl of new impressions in those early days in Leningrad. Readjustment was difficult, and I lived somewhat dazed….” Impressions of Soviet Russia, by John Dewey.


John Dewey was a communist dupe, a Potemkin Progressive. Yet, this man is the greatest single influence on American schoolchildren; his books have been used to train generations of teachers. Even while the Russian civil war was still going on (some seven million killed between 1917 and 1921), Dewey’s books were translated into Russian by the Bolsheviks: they immediately recognized the importance of his ideas to the Soviet collective communist state.

  2. 1919, “How We Think,” published in Russian.
  3. 1920, “The School and Society,” published in Russian.
  4. 1921, “Democracy and Education,” published in Russian. The English version, of course, became a bible at Columbia Teacher’s College.

And there's more.....even worse.

4. But there's this news: today is the anniversary of the death of the Marxist who controls teacher's college.....

"Paulo Freire
, (born Sept. 19, 1921, Recife, Braz.—died May 2, 1997, São Paulo), Brazilian educator. His ideas developed from his experience teaching Brazil’s peasants to read. His interactive methods, which encouraged students to question the teacher, often led to literacy in as little as 30 hours of instruction. In 1963 he was appointed director of the Brazilian National Literacy Program, but he was jailed following a military coup in 1964. He went into exile, returning in 1979 to help found the Workers Party. His seminal work was Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1970). "

Dewey and Freire have poisoned the minds of untold numbers of American children.

It is impossible to see any way back for the nation.

To be fair... many smart people thought Socialism was the future of the world. So just to keep things in context, many people were not back then, as informed as we are today about how ridiculously stupid, and what a universal and undeniable failure Socialism is.

Of course... that begs the question how we can have so many brainless fools today. Back then, I can see why people jumped on the Socialism Bandwagon. But there is no excuse for supporting socialism today.
I agree. Abolish all military's
 
Give me a specific clear example. One specific clear example that you would point to.
How about YOU point out ANY post that gives both sides of the story.

I disagree with your definition of "Intellectual honesty" then.

I don't believe that not giving out views and opinion you inherently do not believe, makes you intellectually dishonest.

Moreover, PoliticalChic has never once, claimed to be a neutral disseminator of view points.

I would not expect her to give both sides, anymore than I would expect Obama, or Bush, to give both sides.

Honestly, by your standard, the entire forum is filled with intellectually dishonest people, since none of them give the other side.

Essentially, those who complain about the side I provide are admitting that there is no other side for them to defend.
 
When you have a great representation of private school and private college, Donald Trump, you don't need a thesis paper to tell you who graduated because of money instead of grades.

Your hero, Al Gore, is a great representation of money and power and still he FLUNKED OUT OF VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY DIVINITY SCHOOL ! ! ! Are you do dishonest as to claim that professors hand out good grades to wealthy students? Why then did Al Gore flunk out? Answer that one.
Then tell the audience why so many Hollywood Ignorati never went to college, much less graduated.

Daddy Gore?

Al Gore Sr. (D-Tenn.) vehemently opposed equal rights for blacks.” Who are the real racists?

Democrat Senators Sam Ervin, Albert Gore, Sr. and Robert Byrd were the chief opponents of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The school systems are collapsing at an amazing Pace right now and hopefully once decentralized homeschooling becomes the norm there will be an opening to reinstate real American values in the minds of the next generation...... The current one seems to be lost.

"...there will be an opening to reinstate real American values in the minds of the next generation ...'


I sure wish I was blessed with your optimism.

I believe our nation and all of Western Civilization is circling the drain.

And we can thank the fifth column, the Democrats/Liberals.

Prove Al Gore is my hero. That is a giant illogical assumption that has no basis except for your need to project lies. Did you learn to do that in private school??
When budget cuts occur education is the first on the chopping block and you can't figure out why education is declining? Yet, we have seen time and time again that parochial and private schools are no better at educating people than public schools because of the quality of those that graduate.
The reasons as to why educated people are doing poorly could be addressed but it never will be in threads such as this where the goal is not to reform or correct but to deify and play character assassinations towards a political party or a political philosophy.

Homeschooling will NEVER be the norm!
 
The fact that the country is evenly divided to many is a bad thing. But that is beyond false. I see the nation in great shape. This is but a blip in the road. Trump will be re elected and things will grow nicely as this new generation of young workers takes over.

"Public education is a socialist monopoly, a real one. " The Late Milton Friedman



That chart is dramatic.

I will be using it.


Thank you again.

I think this graph is even more dramatic. Combine it with the words of former Secretary of Education:
“In 1950, we spent (in 1989 dollars) $1,333 per student. In 1989 we spent $4931. As John Silber, the President of Boston University, has written, ‘It is troubling that this nearly fourfold increase in real spending has brought no improvement. It is scandalous that it has not prevented substantial decline.’ ” – William J. Bennett, former Secretary of Education, in The De-Valuing of America
