As we travel through our day we will see once again the greatest symbol of "The Season of Indoctrination", the School Bus. Our children are being taught by teachers whom were indoctrinated themselves. The Communists have been in our education system for at least 4 generations. They have slowly, step by step, changed the curriculum's of the universities down to the K-12s. Civics is no longer taught in our elementary schools, Social Studies has been boiled down to "polar bears are drowning", and high school History conveniently teaches the victory of the unions over the capitalists and the righteousness of fairness, Socialism. The place to fight this is in our homes. Find the truth, educate yourself and teach your children the real history of our Constitution and our country. Help your children understand the difference between regurgitating information so they can get the grades they need and the actual truth. You may also need to remind them not to try to educate the teachers, because they might be retaliated against through the homework given and the grades given for the work. We have had direct experience of these classroom tactics in my household. We can break the cycle of indoctrination. We can teach our children to search out more than one source for the information they are fed. We can teach them once again to put on their critical thinking caps and judge the truthfulness of the education they are receiving. We are raising the next generation of voters, journalists and politicians. We don't want more of the status quo, do we?
Absolutely on target. Sadly, most parents are products of the same system that is destroying the minds of their children. There is more on Marily Monroe in the history books than Vietnam or George Washington.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up. Some are listening and learning.
Beautifully put. As a mother of six, I deal with this every day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow. I am now following your lovely blog.
And now, a few days later, we have The Speech of Indocrination.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't so much the planned speech itself as the accompanying lesson plan that creeped me out-nothing about helping your school or your country, just how to help me, your Obamessiah.
Great post. Our kids are 8 and 6, and we homeschool them precisely because we believe they deserve a classical education that includes God, country, and reason, none of which they'd be getting in public school.

ReplyDeleteAmen to that!
