Math: The Latest Battleground in the War Against Truth

In George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984, set in the superstate of Oceania, the government propagates the absurd equation 2 + 2 = 5. Through steady indoctrination, and under the ever-watchful Thought Police, the citizens accept it as an unquestionable truth. The equation symbolizes the extinction of free thought in repressive totalitarian societies: facts, truths and objective reality are subordinated to political will and twisted to serve the authoritarian goals of the Party and its leader, Big Brother.

Something similar is happening in many American schools. An eerie Orwellian shadow is being cast over math instruction. The focus is insidiously shifting from arithmetic, geometry, and algebra to critical race theory, ethnic studies, and intersectionality. Ridiculous as it may sound, an objective field of knowledge is being thrust into the realm of social experimentation. Students are being taught not how to think but what to think. Instead of developing critical thinking skills, today’s math classes stipulate that students hold particular views about the world and instruct them on how they must extinguish what is posited as “wrongthink.” Continue reading →

Teacher: Why Schools Waste — and How to Stop It

No one – not me, not you, not Jeff Bezos or Warren Buffett – really knows how to spend money.

Imagine that you’re a teacher. You’re sitting in your classroom and looking at the textbooks from which you are supposed to teach your students.

“If only I could get some better books,” you think. “Something that would engage them!”

As a teacher, you know that the thing stopping you from getting books isn’t that your school doesn’t have enough money. More likely it’s that your school wastes the money it has. Continue reading →

Why Public Schools and the Mainstream Media Dumb Us Down

All the more reason to Home School the children! ~ Ed.

I learned more after I barely graduated from High School. I thought I was dumb, but I was dumbed down, I thought I hated learning, and knowledge, but I craved it. I found I loved to read, and read many books, but a library that dwarfed my record collection. Years later, when I returned to my home town to visit my friends no one had grown, all were the products of the system, fat and happily ignorant of the world. ~ R.M. Ras

New Americana Way

All our kids today get a good education,
Worldly education,
Third world education
All our kids today get indoctrination

MORE than one-man’s opinion!

We are witnessing a blatant, organized attack on America through schools that are teaching our children to hate America.

These “educators” need to be fired immediately. These anti-American Marxists & Maoists within our school systems should be taken out in the back 40 and tarred and feathered.

Those amerikkans so intent on tearing apart America and destroying America’s Founding, culture and heritage and the Republic itself are traitors to the Country and should be viewed and treated as such. Continue reading →

Woke teachers want Shakespeare cut from curriculum

‘This is about White supremacy’

The crown teachers once put on William Shakespeare now lies uneasy upon his head as the English playwright comes under assault from teachers who fault his unwoke attitudes regarding race, sexuality, gender and class. For the new breed of teachers, Shakespeare is seen less as an icon of literature and more as a tool of imperial oppression, an author who should be dissected in class or banished from the curriculum entirely.

Top 10 hypocritical SCHOOL RULES during Covid

Although Covid is no worse than the flu, the latter of which has suddenly disappeared from existence in America, students and school faculty alike who are attending “in-person” are forced to endure all the stupidity and idiocy that comes with quarantining the healthy. There’s a reason every student and teacher in America must wear a mask to school, and it’s not about Covid safety — in fact, it has nothing to do with Covid protection at all. This is very shocking to most people, especially those who believe that our entire medical system is designed to help you. Continue reading →

Public Schools Refuse to Open. Give the Taxpayers Their Money Back

In many school districts across the nation, public school teachers still don’t want to go back to work. Private sector workers have long been hard at work in kitchens, at construction sites, and in hardware and grocery stores. Meanwhile, from Seattle, to Los Angeles, and to Berkeley, California in Human Behavior, Teachers’ Union representatives insist they simply can’t be expected to perform the on-site work in the expensive facilities that the taxpayers have long been paying for.

Most American Schools Are Damaging Your Child

If your child wishes to study STEM or law, college remains a necessity. Otherwise, it isn’t.

All around the world, young adults making their first foray into college and the real world are struggling with depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders

I have been telling parents for decades that sending a child to almost any college is playing Russian roulette with his or her values.

But it is a different version of Russian roulette. In the traditional version, only one of the gun’s six chambers contains a bullet. In the college version of Russian roulette, 5 of the 6 chambers contain a bullet. If your child attends almost any university in America (or Canada or anywhere else in the English-speaking world), the odds are that your child’s decency, intellectual acuity, faculty of reason, character and moral compass will be damaged, perhaps permanently.

Ten Headlines That Should Terrify Parents About K-12 Public Schooling

…apparently NOT!

Following the events in the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, many schools pushed out advice that talking about both sides was no longer an option. One guidance that circulated among educators was titled “There’s Nothing Virtuous About Finding Common Ground.” Translation of this document amounts to the fact that open debate, pros and cons lists, and anything else that exposes impressionable minds to anything other than prevailing orthodoxy is prohibited in many public schools. At least they’re finally admitting that the Common Core standard of critical thinking was really a euphemistic red herring for critical race theory instead.

Some states are pushing back; Iowa’s legislature recently proposed a law that would make it illegal, and punishable by fines, to teach anything related to Critical Race Theory, 1619 Project, etc. in its public schools. That’s a good start, but it isn’t enough. Parents need to speak up and more legislatures need to act. It is also encouraging that several states are pushing back on the Biden administration;’s transgender idiocy. Continue reading →

Benson: We May Lose Because We Don’t Care About Our History

Over the past week or so I have posted a couple articles about terrorist John Brown and some of his leftist connections (yes, he had some leftist connections).

Some of the comments I got back from various places my articles were posted were, how shall I say it, downright abusive. Everything from “who cares about all this crap?” to comments that used profanity that I won’t go into. Continue reading →

Mass Exodus From Public Schools Accelerates

The exodus of families from government schools continues to accelerate nationwide, sparking panic among the education establishment that has so badly failed America’s children. And the trends are not just because of COVID, contrary to government claims.

Now, public-school bigwigs are freaking out about what the plunge in enrollment means for their bloated taxpayer-funded budgets. In short: The government-“education” gravy train is about to get a lot smaller as sensible families flee to the safe sanctuary of homeschooling and private schools. Continue reading →

Loudon: Teaching Children How to Think

When I look around at the United States I wonder where did the United States go wrong? What brought us to this terrible state where we have two divisions of government (two separate philosophies) and two separate paths of thinking? Why is it that we have so much corruption, greed, power, money laundering, and forced control.? Why is our government going down the slippery, slimy path of deception and destruction?

Your answer may be different than mine, but I think we both will agree that somewhere in the past, it started with the division and diversion in people’s education, and professional ethics – and their inability to THINK! Continue reading →
