As far as education is concerned, we are fools if we don’t mandate civics any more in elementary schools. Kids today are forced to learn about global warming and homosexual love. I think we can push for a clear civics curriculum that informs American children that their government is supposed to belong to THEM, to us. Our president is our representative, not our king. Most do not know this.
I think one way to counteract the propaganda “press” is to also teach, on middle school level, about journalism. Not journalism but an overview OF journalism. In elementary school, kids learn typically TO report. Like how to ask the Principal or the baseball player questions, how to write it into a little article. As it should be.
But the 12-15 year old kid should have a class in “what is journalism and what should it be?” In that class, they should be taught ethical and moral questions in journalism. They should be asked, “how do you search for truth in articles you read, without using more media to do it?” Even using search engines it is hard to find actual truth without having to trust a media source. But kids should be taught how. They should be assigned to find lies in media, and prove it. This can be done.
Either the mainstream media is honest and true, or it’s owned propaganda. There is no grey area. Kids need to know that. Either it was all written by Gd or it’s paid for by SOMEONE with an agenda. How to become informed without having to depend on biased sources?
Trump should terminate the department of education and allow parental control of education through vouchers.
