Have God and fervent prayers saved America temporarily from
the scourge of global communism by electing Donald Trump for president? It was
the hand of God that acted through the voting population to elect Donald Trump
but it is up to his chosen administration to implement his promises.
If the President Elect is going to deliver a fraction of his
campaign assurances, we are going to make tremendous progress in addressing our
huge national debt and our national security.
There is a lot more to be redressed that has been
deliberately diminished, fundamentally transformed for the worse, and even destroyed
in the last ten years, i.e., the military, jobs, the economy, education, health
care, family, faith, our personal freedoms, and our foreign policy.
No matter what problems we attempt to solve, unless we
change the “global citizen” course of our educational system dictated from the
Department of Education in Washington and the States’ Department of Education,
we are doomed to fail, and Common Core will remain the curriculum tool of the
global citizenship. America will continue on the globalist path of
self-destruction and irrelevancy.
Charter schools will give marginalized students an
opportunity for a better school choice, however, there is no guarantee that the
indoctrination into Marxism will stop. Those teachers come from the same pool
of the College of Education licensed teachers, the corps of “social justice”
and “collectivist” thinking.
Socialist teachers will continue to be the vectors of
Marxist indoctrination because they are rolled out with little effort on the
College of Education assembly line and are encouraged to become proud members
of the National Education Association.
Unfortunately for America, these socialist teachers have our
children’s eyes, ears, and minds eight hours a day, ample time to shape them
into the communist and environmentalist drones required by the 21st
century “social justice” and impossible equality know-nothing workforce.
Sadly, the establishment no longer educates teachers like some
of my former colleagues who taught real American history, no matter how
uncomfortable the truth may have been to some. They taught Civics and brought
speakers to their classes who have experienced or survived communism, the
Holocaust, and various wars. They infused pride in our American culture and
honored our American exceptionalism. No revisionist history was taught and
Howard Zinn’s popular textbook, “A People’s History of the United States,” was
not used. David Greenberg wrote in 2013 about “Howard Zinn’s influential
mutilations of American history.” https://newrepublic.com/article/112574/howard-zinns-influential-mutilations-american-history
One day a year students were required to eat just soup so
that they could feel what it was like to stand in soup lines during the Great
Depression. This type of “fasting” was uncomfortable for the coddled generation
who felt deprived of their abundant choices in the cafeteria. Many complained
bitterly when their tummies were churning empty.
Posters were hung in the hallway for a week, showing in grisly
detail the Holocaust atrocities committed by the German National Socialist
Party (the NAZIS) against the Jews, the gypsies, the gays, the priests, the
handicapped, and anybody else who did not fit the insane profile of the perfect
race as designed by Hitler’s Social Democrat party. No safe spaces for these
students to flee from reality -- Judy wanted her students to never forget what
evil atrocities monsters were capable of towards their fellow man.
A Christmas Cantata was organized every year and a Christmas
tree was proudly decorated by students of all religions who enjoyed the
tradition. A staff member dressed as Santa Claus; faculty and students took
turns having their photographs taken. There was no “war on Christmas” then and
people wished each other ‘Merry Christmas’ instead of the leftist politically
correct ‘Happy Holidays.’
Ten years ago, an administrator thought it wise to bring an
imam to school to indoctrinate a rapt audience of high school students to the
wonders of Islam and the “respect” they afford women. The faculty stood silent,
disapproving, but fearful of losing their jobs if they spoke out. Some nodded
in agreement with the imam; one of his sons will be caught years later trying
to join ISIS with his girlfriend.
Diversity did not have to be mandated by government, our
society was already plenty diverse and tolerant but not self-destructive. Legal
immigrants assimilated into our country, were proud to be here, learned
English, but retained their traditions and language at home. Now, the government-imposed
progressive and diversity at every level is splitting society into divided
groups, at odds with each other, creating micro-societies within our country,
each rooting for the hellhole they’ve escaped from, or pushing the agenda they were
paid to advocate.
The America-phobia
ginned up by the progressive left has reached a new crescendo. They are
projecting and displaying all their hatred and intolerance for Americans, while
glorifying third world nations and primitive cultures as better than our
civilization, vilifying hard-working ordinary Americans who happen to disagree
with them. America-phobes want to change everything in the image of their
Marxist ideology, utopian nonsense that has failed fully in every country where
it had been forced upon the disarmed population.
Progressives no longer hide their intolerance and disdain
for Caucasians and conservatives, inventing terms such as “white privilege,” “micro
aggression,” “pathological bias,” “ordinary prejudice,” “pathological bigotry,”
requiring collegiate “safe spaces” for their frightened progeny, the Snowflake
Generation, telling them lies that all conservatives are racist and bigoted,
and are going to harm legal and illegal immigrant children.
At the same time, the progressive and Islamo-phile MSM are busy
turning a blind eye to all the violence, mayhem, and crimes that Islamists have
committed in this country and around the globe. Nobody in the Christian population
at large has attacked, killed, or maimed any Muslims. However, most terror
attacks that have occurred in this country in the last fifteen years had been orchestrated
and executed by radical Islam.
Symbols of pride and Americanism, our flag, our National
Anthem have been burned and disrespected; monuments and veteran cemeteries have
been desecrated without much note or mention by the main stream media.
The cable news media ignored the massive fires in Tennessee
while spending an inordinate amount of time on the Oakland fire even though
both events were tragic. The MSM focused non-stop on paid rioters around the
country, on their mercenary and violent demonstrations against the President
Elect with whom they vitriolically disagree. Innocent bystanders were subjected
to their hateful wrath and suffered physical injuries.
Since the presidential election was not to their liking, the
intolerant left is now trying to subvert and destroy the Electoral College
process. Baseless recount challenges have been made in three states and
millions were raised overnight by the Green Party candidate. Additionally, alleged
threats have been made to electors to change their votes before December 19.
Our future depends on who is going to win the war on our “borders,
language, and culture,” on our sovereignty, the leftist America-phobes or the America-philes?
Unless we change the global communist course and Common Core content of the
public education and collegiate education of our children, the future looks uncertain.
I take it that your nostalgia for what education used to be like must be assuaged at least in part by the fact that one constant that has remained strong and steadfast is a solid grounding in Holocaust mythology, which curiously (but not inexplicably) was shared by the Marxist education you must have received in Romania. It is in full bloom now in post-communist Romania thanks to the Elie Wiesel Institute subsidized by the state.
