America is finally waking up to the fact that poisonous, divisive ideas are proliferating in public education, from pre-K to graduate school. The question is how to push back against such ideas.
Solutions are easier in K-12; primary and secondary teachers do not have the same protections of academic freedom that college faculty have, and the K-12 curriculum is more tightly controlled by state agencies. The issue is more complex in academia, where academic freedom reigns and the curriculum is controlled by a decentralized faculty. The situation is also more dire at the college level: Higher education is where the bad ideas originate, and, for a long time, academia has seen little opposition to radicalization of the public universities. While boards of trustees have the legal right to control curricula, they have almost universally relinquished that power to the faculty in practice.
In recent years, however, with the degradation of much of the academy reaching an advanced stage, state legislatures have begun to rise to the challenge and push back against radical encroachment on the public-college curriculum.
One such attempt is Florida’s “Stop the Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees (WOKE) Act.” This 2022 law statutorily prohibits discriminatory classroom teaching. It targets such divisive ideas as Critical Race Theory (CRT), which demands that members of a racial group must perpetually atone for injustices committed by members of their group centuries before, and that claims by aggrieved minorities against the offending groups should pass unchallenged.
It should be obvious that such a system of preferences and punishments along racial and ethnic lines will make a pluralistic society such as the United States unworkable without oppressive government control.

Good.
Homeschool if you can. If not, find like minded folks and rent out churches or other facilities. There are numerous websites that offer K-12 education.
And the MOST IMPORTANT thing....elect city council members and/or county commissioners that will take serious action in defunding public schools/warehouses and be better stewards of the peoples money.
Stop it at K-12 and those kids will challenge the college professors and WIN! Like I always did. The other students loved it too. Nothing like taking down a smarmy professor full of himself.
True. communist had a 50 (or was it 60 year plan) to take over america. And it began with media and classrooms. They won that battle, so now we need to take it back.
My 8-year old grand niece is a victim of such indoctrination. For a year now she has identified as a black person, and recently she told me that she is now bi. I’m not sure she even really knows what that means.
We live in rural Oregon, so this is not a big city thing.
There are 15 necessary parts to the solution.
And we must not necessarily assume that the public school should exist.

How does one become the arch-enemy of the elite thought-shapers of 21st century western civilization? By saying things like this:
“We can see how many of the Euro-Atlantic countries are actually rejecting their roots, including the Christian values that constitute the basis of Western civilization. They are denying moral principles and all traditional identities: national, cultural, religious and even sexual. They are implementing policies that equate large families with same-sex partnerships; belief in God with the belief in Satan.
“The excesses of political correctness have reached the point where people are seriously talking about registering political parties whose aim is to promote
paedophilia. People in many European countries are embarrassed or afraid to talk about their religious affiliations. Holidays are abolished or even called something different; their essence is hidden away, as is their moral foundation.
And people are aggressively trying to export this model all over the world. I am convinced that this opens a direct path to degradation and primitivism, resulting in a profound demographic and moral crisis.
“What else but the loss of the ability to self-reproduce could act as the greatest testimony of the moral crisis facing a human society? Today almost all developed nations are no longer able to reproduce themselves, even with the help of migration. Without the values embedded in Christianity and other world religions, without the standards of morality that have taken shape over
millennia, people will inevitably lose their human dignity. We consider it natural and right to defend
these values. One must respect every minority’s right to be different, but the rights of the majority must not be put into question.”
- Vladimir Putin, 2013
But cold capitalists learned to get around 13A prohibitions on cheap/slave labor probably by bribing organized crime front-ending itself as constitutionally undefined political parties to help capitalists exploit foreign labor that is not protected from bully capitalists imo.
As a consequence of jobs ultimately lost to foreign labor, not only do both USA parents typically work to make ends meet, but working parents are probably too tired at the end of the day to ask their school-indoctrinated children what their gender is on that day.
Regarding today's schools, consider that, as a consequence that schools no longer teach the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, schools unthinkingly agree to comply with politically correct, constitutionally indefensible federal civil rights laws in order to receive unconstitutional federal funding, such funding arguably state revenues stolen from the states by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Insights welcome.
And speaking of being oppressed under the boots of the unconstitutionally big federal government...
Patriots are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.
Again, insights welcome.
It’s way too late.
Good, and the federal government considers them a bigger threat than terrorists. Must be because the federal government wants this country destroyed from within.
In 1976, my PoliSci professor said on the first day to Vote Jimmy Carter. I said, what happens if I want Reagan? She told me that she will flunk me, I said, Fine and then I continued to to her I’m going for Ford. She didn’t flunk me, but she gave me a C.
It began long before that if the history of public education in America is any indication.
If the indoctrination centers are not being razed and the indoctrinators hung, it’s liable to be “talk, talk, talk”...
If you're ever admitted to an ER don't be surprised if you're asked what gender you identify as and what pronouns you use.
