The Past has Now Become the Present

America is at the bottom of the class and years behind. The question is Why!

Ever since I studied Liberalism, my major, I could not understand the thinking behind the dumbing down of America, the destruction of the family and elimination of the rights of the parents. How did the communists twist so many heads into believing the family unit was in fact evil?   I understood why they had to eliminate the family unit and replace it with the school family but how did they get others to believe and to carry the message.

Then I read a quote in an article from Karen Bracken. Thank you Karen. karenbracken@substack.com  The quote was from Brock Chisholm, the first director-general of the World Health Organization, 1948-1959.  He stated: “To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism, and religious dogmas.”

Brock Chisholm was a psychiatrist who believed ” The re-interpretation and eventually eradication of the concept of right and wrong which has been the basis of child training, the substitution of intelligent and rational thinking for faith in the certainties of the old people, these are the belated objectives of practically all effective psychotherapy.”

Parents and the family are no longer necessary to guide children. Chisholm said, “Children must be free to think in all directions irrespective of the peculiar ideas of parents who often seal their children’s minds with preconceived prejudices and false concepts of past generations. Unless we are very careful, very careful indeed, and very conscientious, there is still great danger that our children may turn out to be the same kind of people we are.

…the pretense is made, as it has been made in relation to the finding of any extension of truth, that to do away with right and wrong would produce uncivilized people, immorality, lawlessness and social chaos. The fact is that most psychiatrists and psychologists and other respected people have escaped from moral chains and are able to think freely.

The reinterpretation and eventual eradication of the concept of right and wrong are that belated objectives of nearly all Psychotherapy

As you finish reading Chisholm’s words and thoughts understand he is not the only one who thought like that. There are many more going back to Plato’s time.

Their philosophies are what your children learn in college. 

These students become our future teachers, leaders, legislators and scientists.

They teach your young children that being amoral, a druggie, a sex star, a tranny is cool. Hurting someone else is cool.  Now it is OK to hate your country, your family, G-d.

You, the parent, have no right to be upset.

After all, they are just expressing themselves.  

News Flash! The, the Department of Education (DOED) is not educating anyone. We spend more money on education than any other country and our students are years behind. They register at the bottom of the class, worldwide!

All of this lack of education has nothing to do with skin color. If you aren’t taught, you won’t learn. I recently spoke with a Special Needs educator. She informed me that teachers no longer teach. Teachers read to the class from a prepared script book. There is no room for thinking out-of-the-box, for individualism, discipline, or for ambition. Just rote, robotic memorization. Just like Star Trek’s The Borg, our children “will be assimilated.”

Isn’t it time to try something different? 

Isn’t it time to stop allowing the Communist unions to control education?

I know this first-hand. Sight-reading is not reading!  Not teaching cursive means that our students can’t read historical documents, our Constitution, and our Bill of Rights. No cursive means our children have no individual signature!

Consensus math and science means no absolutes in math or science are necessary, for if they feel it is right, then it must be because they say so. There is NO LOGIC in this approach. How many of you parents out there have learned from your children that there are 10+ ways to solve a simple math problem? Really? How confusing!

No wonder, our children are utterly confused and mathematics grades have plummeted.

Keeping the DOED amounts to doing the same thing over and over, which is insane!!

Are you insane?

Do you and your family agree with this??
