In the recent 'Dark Days Diary' (here) I highlighted a short dissertation on the spread of communism by a former KGB agent. As we have pointed out here and he confirms, the spread of that evil ideology is made possible by its acolytes initially gaining control of a target nation’s public educational system. This is from the Marxist-Leninist playbook – ‘let me educate one generation of your youth to assure communism’s triumph.’ In the United States we are now educating the third generation with a curriculum that ranges between pure trash and collectivist propaganda. And this is done in our public K-12 schools and also academe, which has for the most part eliminated all dissenting voices and thought on their campuses.
The onerous task is being carried out by teachers’ unions and faculty associations which have wholeheartedly embraced the goal of a socialist world order. Their success can be measured by the fraction of our graduates who are profoundly ignorant of their American heritage and equally lacking skill sets which enable their entry into a productive workforce. A disturbing share of them find work with government as the employer of last resort. There they immediately fit in with the correctly thinking and compliant deep state extension of the Democratic Party, doing its work no matter who currently happens to control Congress or reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
For the Left, this fortuitous outcome is to a large extent the fault of our ‘go along to get along’ Republicans. Over the years they as the conservators of our Constitution have shown little interest to understand and backbone to resist the nation’s ratcheting of anti-American public policies. The Republicans appear to measure their political progress by how good they feel when grumbling and griping about the Left to their likeminded constituents in cloistered gatherings. These pity-party nodding sessions motivate only a trickling of attendees, if that, to take an active stance to counter the encroach of socialism in their communities. The rank and file Republican returns to his homestead to continue living a productive and non-contentious life minding his own business.
The only plausible road back (from beyond the tipping point to the Great Divide) is to regain local control of educating our children. Rebane Doctrine has long taught that to do this is to change education policy so that in the public funding of education, the money follows the students, and parents determine where the students are schooled. This calls for a restructuring of our education industry into a more open market, capitalistic format, and away from the rank socialist structure of today. In the main, K-12 education should be available to parents in the same manner as is the choice of a college education. This means that schools would become transparent for-profit institutions that make their performance (quality of their product) accessible to their clients. Overall, given today’s cost of education, such a change would significantly reduce costs, and increase the relevance and quality of the delivered education.
Our leftwing knows that Sapir-Whorf’s theory of language enabling thought (q.v.) is correct as was made public by Orwell and put in practice on a national scale by Mao et al. Today’s public educated true believers can neither conceive the existence of alternative ways to organize a beneficial society, nor understand where our nation’s present path is taking us (e.g. evidence of that abounds in these pages).
No one knows the truth of all this more than does our Democratic Party which has viewed their support of socialized education as required maintenance of their private manufactory of an ever increasing horde of compliant constituents and unquestioning voters. The last thing our Left will tolerate is letting parents decide where their children will be schooled.
