America used to have a stellular education that was 2nd to none in the world. Today we have 3rd World countries that have better education systems than we have. The 3rd world nation concentrates on math, literature, writing, and all the other important thing in life whereas our system concentrates on pro-nouns and political correctness, and gender studies.
If you study it out you‘ll find that pro-choice is the most important position to take or you’ll Be canceled in a heartbeat. One of the most common examples of censorship found on college campuses today is that of silencing pro-life views.
Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins recently spelled out the trend in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, highlighting nine ways pro-life students’ efforts to share their beliefs are shut down.
A news release that summarized the nine methods stated:
* The vandalization and outright theft of displays and signs.
* A virtual poll tax on speech often in the form of security fees.
* A Heckler’s Veto, in which schools cancel or move events when extremist groups or a disgruntled student oppose a speaker.
* A slow walk to nowhere when a pattern of delays for approval of events or clubs creates a virtual veto of student speech.
* A not-even-separate-but-equal accommodation as schools refuse similar support for pro-life students as given to others.
* A religious gag rule in which schools may allow students to speak as long as they stay silent about faith.[1]
You’ll see all through the schools that anything pro-life is treated like a third-world loser.
William and Mary showed their anti-life sentiment In April of this year. Ah, the tolerant, nonviolent, peaceful pro-choice movement. Who just threatened a college student’s life for not wanting to kill babies. Classic.
Skylar Culbertson attends The College of William and Mary in Virginia and recently hosted a table with Tribe for Life, a campus pro-life group. At this event, she obviously advocated for pro-life ideas. So pro-abortion students proceeded to dox and threaten her.
Skylar explained on The Ed Morrissey Show there were several students using a platform called Yik Yak to communicate about her location. Like, “Skyler is here at this coffee shop, she’s at the science center.” You know, totally rational, normal things to be concerned about.
Where we used to tolerate different points of views, we now allow only one point of view. That point of view always leans left. I know of teachers that ‘roll with the flow’ just to keep their job. That type of education is Not education.[2]
Even when a pro-life group attempts to lack arms with a pro-choice group on a subject they both agree on, the pro-life group is shunned. ‘Not okay’ to join with an ‘anti-feminist/anti-choice organization’
An autism group reversed its decision to allow a campus pro-life group to participate in its event after facing criticism from an autism activist who supports abortion rights.
Wolf Pack for Life at Loyola University New Orleans got the green light from the Autism Self Advocacy Network to host a vigil for the annual Disability Community Day of Mourning, which memorializes “disabled people murdered by their family members or caregivers.”
The network explicitly told the student club that its pro-life stance wasn’t a problem, Wolf Pack for Life leader Sophie Trist wrote in a blog post last month for Rehumanize International, a progressive nonprofit that opposes “all forms of aggressive violence against human beings.”
Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water, here comes the crazies.[3]
Penn State University’s College of the Liberal Arts recently bactracked after receiving intense social media criticism for daring to state that conservative students, along with students of various other identities, were welcome on campus. A group of Princeton University faculty members published a letter to the school’s president calling for a committee to review and approve all academic work at the university, which would upend the principles of free inquiry and speech on campus. A professor at Marymount Manhattan College is facing a petition to get her fired for merely falling asleep during an anti-racism Zoom meeting.
The message is clear: Dissent from, or even a lack of enthusiasm for, woke ideology is no longer tolerated on campus. In response, many on the Right are withdrawing into the comfort of self-justification and praying that the next election-to-end-all-elections will save the world from these crazy kids. Meanwhile, many on the Left are pretending that there is no such thing as cancel culture.
This is idiocy.[4]
The left is out to destroy our education system and they have made great headway. Here is a short list of what they have done to make our system one of the worst.
#1 All 50 U.S. states are now constructing federally-mandated databases that will track the behavior and performance of all public school students in America throughout their entire school careers. According to the New York Post, the Obama administration wants to use the information that is gathered for a wide array of purposes….
#2 All over America, schoolchildren are being immersed in the radical green agenda. In fact, in many areas of the country, children are actively trained to watch how their parents behave and to correct them when they are being “environmentally unfriendly”. The following is from a recent New York Times article about this phenomenon
#3 One 13-year-old student down in New Mexico was recently handcuffed and forcibly removed from a classroom just because he burped in class. In all, over 200 students in Bernalillo County “have been handcuffed and arrested in the last three years for non-violent misdemeanors”.
#4 All over America, students are being taught that the First Amendment does not apply in public schools. Expressions of free speech in school are often cracked down upon very hard. For example, one group of high school athletes was recently suspended for “Tebowing” in the hallways of their school.
The transformation has been subtle but the changes are real and they are dangerous to a society like ours. We need to wake up and ignore the Woke
