The Democrat Party-mainstream media complex has been highly effective in indoctrinating the public. After all, the left-wing Democrat Party-media complex is everywhere. The mainstream media repeats whatever the Biden administration tells them. The same messaging is in movies and on TV. Think about who the people are writing the scripts. And, of course, the colleges and universities are filled with left-wing professors. But if you really want to control the hearts and minds of the citizenry, start when they are young. Because, just like in communist countries, the left believes that children belong to the state.
As we know, the latest idea is that parents are not really parents. The state has the role of parent. The Governor of Washington State has signed into law a bill that permits minors to get sex reassignment surgery without their parents consent (although I should say, without the consent of the egg donor and the sperm donor). This idea is part of a movement among the states run by Democrats. The communists never viewed the family as anything but a threat to the state. Sounds familiar.
Here's a good one. The California State Board of Education has issued new guidelines for the teaching of mathematics. While they say the guidelines are "voluntary," there is little doubt that teachers and school administrators will feel pressure to follow them. Here are some of the chapter titles. "Teaching for Equity and Engagement," Structuring School Experiences for Equity and Engagement," and "Supporting Educators in Offering Equitable and Engaging Mathematics Instruction." Does anyone seriously believe that the State Board of Education gives a damn about helping students excel in mathematics?
Here's what the guidelines instruct teachers. "Be committed to social justice work." "Equip students with a toolkit and mindset to identify and combat inequities with mathematics." "Mathematics plays a role in the power structures and privileges that exist within our society." The Board recommends that Algebra I no longer be taught in middle school. That will interfere with students being able to take calculus in high school, as the usual track is Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry. You want our country to excel in areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)? Then speak up! Write letters to your papers and to the appropriate school authorities. Because the idea is to dumb down the teaching, not raise everyone up. Jaime Escalante must be turning over in his grave.
The indoctrination occurs at all levels of the education system. The California Community College system has 116 campuses with 1.8 million students. But the latest rules for professors and staff within that system tells those employees they must adhere to the ideas of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA). Here are some of the ideas. "Develop and implement a pedagogy and/or curriculum that promotes a race-conscious and intersectional lens." "Advocate for and advance DEI and anti-racist goals and initiatives." Because we don't have enough division in this country. Let's aim for a race war.
Here is my favorite: "Participate in a continuous cycle of self-assessment of one's growth and commitment to DEI and acknowledgement of any internalized personal biases and racial superiority or inferiority." Someone please tell me how that is not IDENTICAL to the type of reprogramming that has occurred in communist societies. One professor, with the help of the Institute for Free Speech, has sued, claiming the guidelines cannot be followed without "violating his conscience and surrendering his academic freedom."
Here are some other gems from these guidelines. Antiracists "understand that racism is pervasive and has been embedded into all societal structures." "Persons are either anti-racist or racist." "Merit is embedded in the ideology of Whiteness and upholds race-based structural inequality." The ideology of Whiteness? No wonder the military is having a difficult time with recruiting. Who wants to fight for and defend such a horribly racist country. Let's just turn the keys over to the Chinese, Russians and Iranians. That'll be an improvement.
You couldn't pay me enough money to send my kids to public schools and colleges today.
