The title from the news article read, “What a high-school diploma tells you is that a student was institutionalized for about twelve years”. Give it honest thought; it’s obvious to most that our public educational system is somewhat lacking. Students are graduating from high school and even college without being able to read or write properly. Today, public education is an important part of the prevailing bureaucratic administrative system rooted in Washington D.C., with tendrils reaching into every town that has a public school.
Everyone knows that if a foundation changes, things on it will be changed. Education is fundamental, but it has changed radically. That radical change has changed everything else. Public Education is as old as our nation. Lately, though, it has adopted the purpose of supplanting the family and controlling (pushing out) parents. For example, the website of Michigan’s Department of Education has detailed instructions for teachers on how to open questions with students on their sexual orientation. They also provide detailed instructions on how to keep parents from knowing about it. Increasingly, public education is instructing children to speak of their sexual proclivities. This is a task that can be difficult to comprehend intelligently.
The political battle over this issue is fraught with dishonesty, but any complaints are quickly styled as criticism of teachers. This works to the detriment of teachers but for the benefit of bureaucrats. The fact is, the number of school district administrators (Democrat bureaucrats), between 2000 and 2019, grew by a massive 87.6% and teachers only 8.7%!
There is a political contest between those who make an independent living, on the one hand, and the administrative bureaucratic state with all its mighty forces on the other. This is the key contest of our time. Today this seems truer than ever.
