This recent article from the Washington Policy Center is an example of how public education in our country has successfully become so lopsided to the left in its ideology. There is a link in the first sentence to the presentation which contains the evidence cited in this article. Here are a few points from it:
"It is not possible to have an informed conversation about education
reform when WASA implies that people who hold alternate views are
fascists and communists. This mean-spirited tactic comes across as a
transparent effort to bully others into silence.
Reasonable people can disagree. Engaging in name-calling while
citing the most reprehensible figures from history does not make
progress in improving public education. Instead, all of us who care
about children should work together in a peaceful and collaborative way
to make sure schools are well funded and use public money effectively,
so that every child learns."
I am convinced - after 30 years in public education - that the whole
education infrastructure from the Dept. of Education, to the NEA, its
state unions, on down to the local level districts' unions, has been
thoroughly indoctrinated with the leftist/socialist mentality.. It's
evident in the curriculum, policy emphasis, and treatment of those in
the profession who don't go along with their agenda. Those teachers who
voice any alternative view or opposition to whatever is being proposed
from the leadership at local or state conventions for the union is
subtly and effectively ostracized and marginalized (sounds like Saul
Alynski tactics to me).
Wasn't there a prominent communist leader who
said something about controlling the education of the youth is the key
to controlling a country's direction & future? In observing
leftists' reactions to the new administration, they've confirmed without
a doubt to me that they will say things about their opposition which is
actually a truism about themselves; using Goebbels & Lenin.
Yes,
liberalism is a mental disorder!
