Last week featured a bumper crop of crazy nooze.
A question that springs to mind is: Why? Why all the craziness? Crazy Congress, crazy pope, crazy celebrities. And what are we supposed to get out of turning boys into fake girls and girls into fake boys?
Not that many civilizations have ever tried it; maybe no one’s tried it. But something tells me that basing a whole way of life on pure delusion is not going to turn out well.
We, the undefended taxpayers of America, lay out a fortune every year to fund our public schools (if you even want to call them schools). We pay for them, but we have no say in who teaches and who doesn’t, and no say in what’s taught. How did we ever get roped into a sucker deal like that?
Now the unionized left-wing “teachers” in Seattle’s public schools propose to bring in “social justice math,” based on their lunatic perception of “how technology and/or science have been and continues to be [Is there an English teacher in the house?] used to oppress and marginalize people and communities of color” (https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/10/seattle-public-schools-proposal-teach-social-justice-in-math-class/). It would be more respectful, and just as useful, to rake our money into a pile and burn it.
So getting the right answer to a math problem is Racist or Hateful or whatever–and we pay for these absurd “lessons” that will only serve to make kids stupid and encourage them to be brain-dead little leftids who never run out of things to whine about.
When do we get some pushback?
We pay for these schools. We ought to own them.
