Many of our good friends and family members are teachers and former teachers – wonderful people. As far as I know, all of them are decent, hard-working individuals, who sincerely care about helping kids. Which is why I’m happy to report, I didn’t see pictures of any of them in this photo-essay by Zombie:
How a Teachers’ Rally Made Me Anti-Education.
This article is a thoroughly depressing illustration of the current state of mis-education in California’s schools. The socialist indoctrination of these children is truly appalling. Young, unformed minds which – instead of learning the truth about history and ideology – are being taught to agitate, demonstrate, demand, demonize the rich, hate capitalism, in short, to become little miserable Marxist mobsters.
Zombie is a reformed “brain-dead liberal” whose (“reluctantly”) proposed solution to the problem may seem rather extreme:
The only way to break the stranglehold that leftists have on public schools is not to get rid of the leftists (which is impossible) but to get rid of the public schools. And how can we get rid of them? By making them so terrible that no parents in their right minds would allow their children to attend. And how can we accelerate the decline of public schools (beyond the atrocious decline already caused by the progressive masters)? By letting their funding dry up. Simple.
But if the situation is really as bad as it appears to be, maybe he’s on to something.
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old,
he will not depart from it. ~ Proverbs 22:6
