Remember this? Remember asking, “Who the devil do these people think they are,” and getting no answer?

Just because President Trump’s administration has throttled way back on Common Core–that was the Obama project of having the federal government micro-manage all the public schools in America–doesn’t mean it’s gone away. It’s only waiting for the next Democrat president to come roaring back.

Sort of like an unexploded bomb ticking away in the cellar…

‘Poll: Ninnies Reject Capitalism’ (2016)

So they polled a bunch of Millenials (I don’t like where that label is headed, but never mind) and found 51% of them said they don’t like capitalism and would rather be rid of it (https://leeduigon.com/2016/08/03/poll-ninnies-reject-capitalism/).

But only 31% said they wanted socialism instead–so they don’t really know what they want. Three wishes, probably.

America is “educating” herself to death.

Pre-Election Post-Election Thoughts

As you read this, I’m probably behind the wheel of my car, trying to find the doctor’s cunningly-concealed office so my wife can begin to have her tests. Remember, we couldn’t find it last week: Mapquest gave us a bum steer.

Anyway, I’m typing this yesterday so it will appear here today, and that makes it hard for me to say anything wise, let alone coherent, about our recently-concluded midterm elections. Despite heavy, nasty rains, my local polling place had a rather high turnout–which struck me as unusual. Like, our town’s evil Democrats are running unopposed, so why all the excitement? We do have a senatorial race, but this benighted state of New Jersey hasn’t had a Republican senator since I was a kid in college.

Looming up in the background, still some distance off, is this year’s Supreme Court decision that unions can no longer suck money out of their members’ paychecks for use in politics. This practice is how the teachers’ union came to own New Jersey. Watch what happens to liberalism once people are no longer forced to contribute money to Democrat political campaigns.

Point 2: Regardless of the outcome of the election, the chief enabler of Far Left Crazy is our hideously overpriced public education system, which indoctrinates whole generations into socialism, sexual hyperactivity, hatred of America, racism of the anti-white variety, and anti-Christianity. Stop funding public schools and colleges, and they’ll have to stop funding and cultivating Far Left Crazy.

Christian children belong in Christian schools, either at home or somewhere around the block. Stop letting people who hate you “educate” your children.

Unless you like what they’re teaching them.

P.S.–Confound it!!! Phone call after phone call, distraction after distraction–and naturally I wind up posting tomorrow’s post today, and wasting time… &%$#&@!

‘Yes, Someone Actually Said This’ (2014)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Public education in America has always been a Trojan horse, and we dragged it right into the middle of our city.

Most of what’s wrong with America is the education establishment’s fault.

Consider carefully the remarks by this “educator,” who thinks ordinary sanity is tantamount to mental illness.

And we want roundworms like this educating our children because __________?

Fill in the blank and win a tinfoil hat.

Build an Exciting Career as a Drag Queen!

If you think I’m going to post a picture of this abomination, think again. Here’s a nice Red Salamander instead.

Some parents are a little miffed at the Rocky Top Middle School in Colorado, the Pot-head State, for featuring a “drag queen”–that is the polite term for a spiritually twisted man who dresses and makes up like a woman, and is hailed as one by spiritually twisted noozies and “educators”–as a speaker on Career Day (https://denver.cbslocal.com/2018/10/22/adams-county-career-day-drag-queen/).

Did I hear that right? I thought you said “Career Day.”

Yeah, that’s what it was. Career Day. Like, in case your 13-year-old son is pondering a career as a drag queen.

The school has apologized–not for having some perverted mess held up to the students as some kind of mondo bizarro role model, but for not notifying parents in advance. In the future, says the principal, parents will be “allowed the opportunity” to exempt their children from having to listen to an objectionable speaker. Allowed. How magnanimous.

How’s about we allow you to get out of town in one piece?

The weirdo, calling himself “Jessica L’Whor,” discussed such career-focused issues as “inclusiveness,” “bullying,” “negativity,” and “hate.” Notice in the linked article how careful the noozies are to use female pronouns to describe this man. Noozies always do that. That’s one of the things that makes them the bad guys.

All right, fill in the blank and win a prize: “I send my children to public school to be ‘educated’ by a drag queen because _________.” The winner gets a berth on the Titanic.

‘A Millenial Want Ad’ (2016)

Just what kind of work do today’s college graduates intend to pursue? What are they best suited for?

https://leeduigon.com/2016/06/22/a-millenial-want-ad/

In a spirit of charity, we must always remember that such stupidity, such slothfulness, such ignorance is very rarely born but must be laboriously and carefully cultivated. From kindergarten to grad school, trillions of dollars are spent on making young people as dumb as brickbats.

To an alarming degree, the effort has succeeded.

My Newswithviews Column, Aug. 30 (‘Public Schooling: A Waste of Time and Money’)

Sometimes talking to people about public education is like talking to tree stumps. Our culture is melting down around us, largely due to the malign influence of public schooling, it’s turning into a garbage-heap right before our eyes–and still they send their kids to public school.

But what can we do, but to tell the truth?

Public Schooling: A Waste Of Time And Money

You are letting kooks and perverts “educate” your children.

It will not turn out well.

Our Toxic Culture: Boy, 9, Commits Suicide

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Sex Education & Graphic Images for K-5 In Public Schools. A dejected and worried young girl in a classroom with the words "Sex Ed" written on the blackboard.

Kill the culture, and the culture will kill you back. This process has already begun.

A 9-year-old boy in Colorado has, according to the medical examiner, committed suicide (Sorry, no link–%$#$@ computer has suddenly forgotten how to do that: it must have gone to public school). We are told the child “came out as gay” during the summer, and now, just four days into the school year, he’s dead–because the other kids “bullied” him and told him he should kill himself. Which apparently he did by hanging himself.

A few questions spring to mind.

Who put it into a 9-year-old kid’s mind that he was “gay”? Really, what kind of 9-year-old spouts a thing like that? One immediately suspects the school, with our popular culture a close second.

For that matter, what kind of 9-year-old commits suicide? What kind of age group peers try to talk another child into killing himself? Where did they get that idea? (Social media tries to sneak out of room…)

If he was being “bullied” to death, what was the classroom teacher doing at the time? And why did his mother (there is, it almost goes without saying, no father in the picture) keep sending him to school?

What did anyone honestly expect to happen? A triumphal parade? The whole student body cheering?

What kind of potted plant, acting as a parent, receives from her 9-year-old the news, “Hey, I’m gay,” and reacts as if all he’d said was “I’d kind of like to be a fireman when I grow up”?

Our public schools teach our children an ideology of sexual anarchy. Right and wrong have been replaced by “safe and unsafe.”

If you have children in public school, you’d be very wise to get them out of there as fast as you can.

Where That Stupid Idea Came From

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

The principal at the Atlanta school who wanted to dump the Pledge of Allegiance, and replace it with some kind of “oath to the global society,” didn’t dream it up all by herself. Like most of our public… “educators,” she’s fully up to speed on assorted globalist projects aimed at creating a utopia with themselves in charge.

Like, for instance, “the Oath Project” (https://www.theoathproject.org/). This document is hard to read because it’s so full of B.S., but you may want to give it a try.

They say they’re trying to create “a unified hub for all of the efforts related to the mission of professionalizing management [of everything!–ed.]… a network of networks… supported by a number of leading organizations in both the academic and professional space.” Like the World Economic Forum, the UN Global Compact, and a host of others–the whole Davos crowd of utopian globalists.

And there is “the MBA Oath,” a “voluntary pledge” “started by a group of Harvard students.” Do you find that reassuring?

Yessireebob! Once they set up a global government, with themselves managing every aspect of human life and the rest of us turned into “global citizens,” it’s all gonna be just hunky-dory. You have their word on it. Now you see what we get when we throw humility out the window.

“Ye shall be as gods,” said Satan. And the Left has bought it, lock, stock, and barrel.

And we’ve got it in our stupid public schools that we pay for.

Do You Believe This Public School ‘Lesson’?

Oops, the tent fell down

Folks are kind of upset with a middle school in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, where the kids got an assignment to decide “Whom  to leave behind” if “Earth is doomed to destruction” and you can only save eight people (https://constitution.com/disgusting-ohio-schoolwork-exposed-by-shocked-parents/).

The kiddies get a list of 12 individuals and are told to pick just eight for berths on a spaceship to another planet. Then the class as a whole has a pow-wow to decide the final roster.

Here’s the tricky part:

Nine of the twelve candidates on the list belong to entitled Minorities. Two are harder to identify. And the only obviously white candidate is “an armed racist police officer who has been accused of using excessive force.” How many of the kiddies do you think picked him?

So I guess the proposal is to populate the new planet with nobody but representatives of  grievance-touting Minorities. But here’s a tricky bit the “educators” hadn’t thought of.

With only Minorities on the new planet, who are they going to blame for all their troubles? Without someone to blame and demonize, liberalism totally falls apart–like a circus big top with all its ropes cut.

Anyway, some of Cuyahoga Falls’ elected officials are looking into this. For what it’s worth. “Educators” always get away with stuff like this. That’s how they screwed up our country.
