"a trans 6 year old is like a vegan cat. you know it was not either the child or the feline making that decision."
YES!!!! Sometimes the truth is just so obvious that even a Leftist cannot deny it! This line is perfect and I think I am going to start stealing it, if I may?
I recently went through some old elementary school homework (1980s) in a box buried in my parent's basement. Almost every assignment dealt with the evils of environmental destruction, racism, industrial growth, etc., in a not at all nuanced fashion. I was just parroting my teachers, with no apparent ability to critically assess their claims.
The ideological indoctrination only increased through high school and university. Only more recently did I realize the extent to which this was all religious. Progressivism, secular humanism, liberalism, wokeism, scientism, are all names variously applied to this religion. This is not only a religion, but one dominated by fundamentalism and extremism. The followers believe that the tenets of this religion are unassailable objective reality, giving them a level of conviction exceeding even traditional faith-based religions.
Vaccination is their purification ritual. BLM, pussy hat, and pro-abortion protests are there religious festivals. Masks are their talismans or rosaries. Universities and public schools are their madrassas. "Trust the experts" and "follow the science" are their version of "what would Jesus do?"
The zealous followers of this religion over the ensuing decades have taken over universities, public schools, government agencies, courts, and, more recently, major corporations. At the same time, they have amassed tremendous power to impose their religion on all Americans, and even proselytize overseas, far more aggressively than any Christian missionaries. They operate outside of democratic accountability because they dominate all of the institutions, and thus have effective veto power over legislative dictates with which they disagree. We saw this starkly with the Trump administration. He had no power because the woke institutions were united against him.
This ideology needs to be recognized for the religion it is and the democratic process needs to firmly assert itself against its rising influence and control. This is a religion and, like any other religion, they do not have the right to impose it on us anymore.
My husband had to leave the room when I was reading him some of this. INSANE. Anyone who still has their kids in a public school... I can't even. We homeschooled ours before it was "in." Even then I wouldn't have put one in public school. Now? NO FREAKING WAY.
I appreciate the frustration with schools merely teaching kids *what* to think, but the Marxists absolutely do want to teach kids *how* to think too. It's just that the "how" in their case involves both inverting and perverting healthy societies until there is nothing left except ashes from which their utopia is imagined to rise.
They're not just teaching them the Critical Social Justice lingo of today; they're teaching them an epistomelogical framework that will have them championing and even creating the Critical Social Justice lingo of tomorrow too.
It's usefully compared to the hijack-reproduce pattern of a literal virus (ironically enough).
the teachers I know don't excel at anything. Even the English teacher in tech makes truly awful grammatical mistakes. the biology teacher I know seems to know less than I do, only went till 17. No one seems to study on regular basis of what is changing. Schools in US seem to be way worse than what I remember from Europe, but family there says it got way worse there too
All you have to do to see the fruits of decades of “education” indoctrination from kindergarten through college, is just look at the brainwashed masses of Antifa
If no one obeys, no one can rule. Likewise, if people pull their kids out of public schools, they won’t be able to be indoctrinated. Of course, this is difficult. But then, most of life is.
If born in the 90s or beyond, my husband would’ve been medicated out of existence. His report cards are completely glorious to read, with one half to 2/3 attendance, barely passing each grade, and zero attention span or work ethic according to the teachers.. Grades behind on reading and so on.
he was a bored genius. And had big problems with authority. He became a high school dropout, went into the military, eventually did get a BS, and was one class short of a masters from Stanford, but didn’t finish it Because he had a big argument with the professor teaching the last class. 😂🤣
The lack of credentials didn’t seem to matter in terms of what he was able to accomplish, so who cares.

You nailed it like usual! Political bodies make decisions based on political reasons! That's why they don't care what you need or want -- you're not part of the equation!
Time for a Brick In The Wall revision:
We don't need no drag queen nation
We don't need no thought control
No dark woke teachin' in the classroom
Groomers leave those kids alone
Hey! Groomers! Leave them kids alone!
Take your kids out of school. If enough do, the parents will learn they are in charge.

Dismantle the entire Administrative State. It is beyond pathological. It cannot be saved.

Excellent article. Parents, don’t wish for a redo. Do it now. Or the late teens and twenties will be your next hell. Trust me.
Privatize it all and let schools compete for students and their tuition money, no matter the source...

Another glorious rant. I love it.

Public School = Child Abuse. End of story.

The teachers want to be Principals. The Principals want to be Superintendents.
This is the principle problem with schools these days. The children are just a means to an end.
That's why they've had no problem being mean to children these last two years. In the end, the children lose meaningful education.
