Quite so. There must be ideas.
I mean, the agenda is simply stated, but it’s not the things normally discussed, as the FastPitch article explains. (All those boring specifics about dubious programs are killing us. Let’s stick to stuff that everyone can understand and applaud.)
Here, I can state the whole platform in 20 words: Teach reading, writing, arithmetic, and geography in the early grades, then shift more to history, science, literature, and the arts.
That sounds much like how I was taught in Catholic schools a few decades back.
When government controls those subjects they insert their allowed philosophy in all subjects (Marxism).....
Such as: mike and bill get married and adopt three boys. How many are now in that cute family?
Look at the poor people in Los Angeles....they are all brown people. Look at the wealthy...these are the Rich white Europeans who live there because they stole the land from Mexico. Government needs more welfare programs and to pay for everyone’s college education.
(as Holder noted the other day). Schools can not fire people with “bad” English. It is discrimination of the worst kind. Proper English is no longer necessary. Write....Me do it.....ten times.
Read Das Kapital and Daddy has a Roommate for literature. No books allowed with refer to mother and father. We only allow the use of “partner”.
You get the idea....when government controls education, they control the ideas put into the heads of children. They create useful idiots. It is unconstitutional—as John Stuart Mill so clearly outlines in On Liberty.
All control of schools needs to be the parents of the children who attend the school. No outside board members—nothing. Just those who want the best ideas and the truth (and their worldview) given to their children. Burn all text books created after Dewey.
