Red for Ed – Lee Duigon

‘If You Can’t Believe the Truth, Believe a Lie’ (2019)

Red for Ed will win Arizona's school funding war. Here's why

“Red for ed”–they’re not hiding it, folks.

You don’t hear all that much, these days, about using the public schools to convert America to socialism. It’s sort of been crowded off center stage by transgender mania and Climbit Chainge hysteria. But don’t think it’s gone away.

If You Can’t Believe the Truth, Believe a Lie

The subject changes, but never the objective. Just now the teachers’ unions have committed to turning boys into fake girls and girls into fake boys. The objective is to create some weird atheist utopia. That’s what never changes.

And if you send your kids to public schools run by teachers’ unions… well, you’re helping them do it.

‘Lawyer-Up’ Your Kid for Back-to-School? Really?

We all know public school has degenerated into a Woke factory–right?

How far should we go to get a public education?

Megan Fox, of PJ Media, answers, “Here’s Why You Should Lawyer-Up Before Sending Your Kids Back to School” (https://pjmedia.com/columns/megan-fox/2022/09/06/the-most-important-back-to-school-tool-you-need-is-a-lawyer-n1627000).

The idea is, before school gets rolling, you hire a lawyer to represent your child and the lawyer will inform the School Officials accordingly–reminding them that the kid has Fifth Amendment rights and they’ve got to go through her before any government agent, police officer, social worker, or what-have-you can talk to the child. Let the School Officials know you and your child have rights that they had better respect–or else wind up in court.

Sounds like it would probably work–but sheesh! Has it really come to this? If you have to go that far to protect your child from “the flood of LBGTQ cult programming” (an apt phrase–well-said!) in the public school, why not just not go to the public school in the first place? Is that really, truly, the ONLY place where your child can be…um, “educated,” if that’s the word for what they do there?

Many parents believe they’re simply not qualified to teach their own children at home.

But how much worse can they do than some “Red For Ed” commie in the teachers’ union who spend the day telling his first-grade class about his amatory experiences?

Fantastic Rushdoony Quote!

Changing your lives… with your money!

In a 1978 essay on the crusading mentality, R. J. Rushdoony hit the bullseye with this quote.

“Crusaders want to accomplish great things with other people’s lives and money…” (https://chalcedon.edu/resources/articles/crusading). Really, what more needs to be said?

A lot of us are just not made that way. We want to live our lives in peace, get on with our business in peace, and enjoy our families in peace. We don’t understand the insatiable lust for power over others.

I wonder what Rushdoony would say if he were here to write about the goings-on in 2022. But that duty has been passed on to us who are here today.

Re-Opening Schools Is… Racist?

They’re red, all right–through and through

They’re trying to get the schools re-opened in Chicago, and the Chicago Teachers Union is suing to prevent it (https://nypost.com/2020/12/10/chicago-story-exposes-the-rank-selfishness-of-us-teachers-unions/?utm_source=AOL).

When we last heard of the CTU, they’d sent a delegation to Venezuela to praise the dictator and try to learn how to bring his brand of socialism to America. That was just last year (https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-chicago-teachers-union-venezuela-trip-20190819-tbpa3lhjifduxgupdxfs3mosr4-story.html).

Current efforts to get children back to school, the Chicago Teachers Union said on its website, are “rooted in sexism, racism, and misogyny.” They have since deleted this statement, it having hinted to the plebs out there that teachers are addled ideologues who shouldn’t be entrusted with “educating” anybody.

Don’t get me wrong: every day kids spend out of public school is a day they won’t be exposed to anti-American ravings and bizarre schemes for societal re-engineering. We believe in Christian homeschooling and Christian schools.

Still… Let’s see… If sending kids back to school to be “taught” by teachers’ union members is sexist and racist… doesn’t that make you wonder about those schools?

One thing we can be sure of: America, the teachers’ unions are definitely not your friend.

I know I wrote about this outrage a few days ago, right here on this blog; but I’m still highly cheesed off about it, and I thought there was more that ought to be said.

Now, Will You Listen?

I wonder what the public schools would have to do, to turn people off them. Well, they haven’t set the buildings on fire yet, with the kids in them. Maybe that would wake people up.

And if you can truly say “Not in our schools!” today, enjoy it while you can; because you won’t be able to say it tomorrow.
