Brainwashing
You’ll read many stories about education in the next year, and they’ll reflect our regularly scheduled anguish on the subject. But how many will explore what is actually being taught to our kids?
A commentator several years ago said that American parents spend years molding their children, pressuring them, working the system, to get the kids into the best colleges. Then these same parents never ask what their offspring are taught.
The political left that has dominated our colleges since the sixties is now filtering into the high schools. There are frightening reports that students at schools of education - our future teachers - are now required to have the proper “inclinations” - that’s the actual term - for teaching. In other words, they must have the correct political point of view.
If you are a parent, explore what’s actually being taught in the schools your taxes support. You may be very disturbed at what you find. You may be even more disturbed if you dare to criticize, and find yourself labeled a McCarthyite.
Do not miss the example from South Korea.
