“There is a movement to make children into social animals, but not just that. The objective is to make them good social animals, and better than good—the best and most wonderful, special, special, special social animals… and in the process, to cherish them, to profess great love for them—when love is ALREADY a given. When you pile sloppy sentiment on top of what is already naturally there, you’re selling a child a grotesque counterfeit, and he knows it. He either invents his own false sentiments, in order to have a role in the farce, or he rebels at a deep level. Either way, he’s confused. He doesn’t understand these insane overreaching adults.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)
It may be hard for today’s parents to believe, but millions of children in America came through the public education system in the 1940s and 50s, and learned the basics—without a shred of cheery happy rainbow goo-goo decorations and slogans on the walls of classrooms.
Learning as seduction did not exist. Learning as “get the child interested” didn’t exist.
It wasn’t important or necessary to “uplift the child.”
Audio-visual aids were entirely absent.
Nor were teachers concerned with producing little humanitarians. There was no instruction in “getting along” or “relationships.” Or “cooperation.”
No values of any kind were taught. They were learned at home and on the playground, without the presence of teachers.

Today’s students are taught to be good little one world order citizens. They may not know what the capital city of the USA is or what our founding fathers really stood for but they can tell you the importance of socialism and mother earth.
ReplyDeleteAll public education is directed at holding back the best students so those with little ability can have all of the teacher's time. Still not improving performance of some groups.
