Fixing Education in America is Job One

 

Education: A Once-Noble Profession By Jim Hollingsworth

Education was once a very noble profession, in fact the best.  So where did we get off base?  We got off base when the National Education Association ceased to be a professional association which sought to improve education, to one that simply lobbied for more money for teachers. Education hearkens back to the great philosophers of the past.  Aristotle and Plato are just historical examples of men whose goal was to educate all those who would listen.  The Founders of America were well acquainted with the works of these great men and many of their ideas were included in our founding documents.  Even Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, was the architect of the University of Virginia, and first rector of the Board of Visitors (the governing body).  This was in March of 1819.

Historically, education was the job of parents..........In early America there were no public schools, but every parent understood that they were to educate their own children.  Every parent took this responsibility seriously and as a result a very high percentage of children grew up being good readers and well educated............But this tradition was very gradually set aside, here a little, there a little.  In 1857 the National Education Association was founded; first as the National Teachers Association.  It had very worthy goals.............but the NEA was gradually taken over by the Democrat party and their liberal agenda, a form of Marxism.............If we expect to remain free, we will have to retake control of our education system.............To Read More....

Schoolkids tiring of incessant LGBT propaganda, indoctrination? June 17, 2023 By Eric Utter

Today's ray of hope number one: Students at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, California, a coastal city famous for its surfers, audibly groaned in protest of their teacher foisting an LGBT Pride video on them — in math class. The students told their indoctrinator instructor to "stop" and "turn it off."  One even asked the "educator," "Why are you showing this to kids?" Sadly, yet predictably, the "teacher" then tells the students to be quiet — and warns them that they will be forced to come back and watch the video on Saturday if they continue to express their opinions and feelings.

According to reports, the unnamed teacher said, "Hey, I'll warn you guys now, if you're going to be inappropriate, I will have supervision down and give all of you Saturday school for [indiscernible].  So knock it off."  The tolerant, inclusive "educator" essentially snarls, Stop it!  Stop with your input!  Or we will compel you to come back and watch this important video again this weekend!

This happened in math class?  That is shockingly "inappropriate."...........To Read More.....

Agency that sets accreditation standards for private schools is pushing transgender surgery June 17, 2023 It is clear that this rush to push transgenderism and permanent surgical and chemical alterations on minors is a well-planned and carefully implemented campaign, affecting all levels of childhood education (except, I imagine, home schoolers)...........

Don’t listen to the teachers union if you care about your kids By Silvio Canto, Jr.  June 27, 2023 -Back in the thick of the pandemic, I remember watching a TV report about two mothers who lived on the same street in Chicago.  Mom A sent her kids to the Catholic school.  Mom B was dealing with school closures. Mom A was happy and Mom B was not. Moving forward, Mom A and Mom B are probably reacting differently to the state of their kids' scores.  This is the story: ............

America’s parents must teach their kids to be ideological commandos June 27, 2023 The worst leftist indoctrination takes place in government schools where the kids on the front line need to be armed with truth and strong values. ...........By now, it should be clear that the dead center of the woke strategy to destroy our nation is the destruction of our families by perverting our children to the woke ideology. It is in the government schools that the full panoply of hoaxes and perversions come to bear on our children. Here, the woke roll out their hoaxes of global warming and their perversions of grooming, sexualization, transgenderism, etc. Saving our children from the perverted woke monster is saving America and is the hill to die on...................
