Saw in the Daily Blat of the 25th of November, a Viewpoint article written by one Mr. Mullen. How he was somehow able to get past the Progressive Liberalism of the Blat and got published is an interesting question?
His article was pretty critical of the Schools and how they are "indoctrinating" the Students while under their care. I would like to quote him, "Teaching kids? Indoctrinating children and filling their impressionable, malleable minds with fear have always been the methodology of tyrants". It would be nice if he had made a much clearer point? ;-)
I think in Truth, he may have been a bit too kind too what passes here as Education? These kids don't have a chance to learn the facts of what has, is and will be going on in the Future. It has taken from the 1960s to now, but the Educational System in the past few years is totally in the role of destroying, distorting, dividing this Nation. Took them a bit to overrun the Colleges/ Universities but of course, they are in charge there. Now, they have gone not just down into the High Schools, but are busily chipping away at the Elementary levels And they are winning. Parents are pretty much silenced as I noted yesterday if they speak up.
Allow me this "Survey" just done by a site called "today.yougov.com". I was put on to it by a talking head that is albeit somewhat biased, still a pretty credible reputation. The Survey noted the following results for "Millennial's on American Values" :
Sexist: 50%
Considering how far the Ladies have come in the past 50 years, they have done very well in many areas. Can they do better- Yes. Will they do better- Yes. There was an old saying in an advertisement by a Cigarette Company (Phillip Morris), where it was said "You've come a long ways baby", as it marketed (1968), to young Professional Women. Than just words, today it is a Truism with more to come. So Sexist, I will respectfully decline.
Racist: 49%
Cannot tell a lie, this Country is still in the pangs of Racism. But is not what many would think is the Truth? There are as many or more percentage wise Blacks/ Latinos that are Racist as they are Caucasians. I have said before, that I do not like to refer to myself or even others as "Whites". There are about according to science.answers.com, approximately 350,000 in the World per their listed "2018" answers that are "Albinos" (Whites). Those of us who are Caucasians are people with various degrees of lighter pigmentation that lead to one of two points: 1. We are Racist and consider ourselves Superior to Blacks and Asians. 2. It is a degree of misinformation that most of us have learned to accept- rightly or wrongly?
My Stepfather as I have noted before by some stroke of fate had three (3), Albino Aunts that I met once when I was about 6 or 7. I innocently asked one of them why her skin was so white? Within minutes we had left and I never saw them again. They dressed because of their sensitivity to Light, but more I would suspect at the time from shame. When we visited, they all had on full length neck to mid ankle pastel dresses, gloves, hats with veils and shoes that were the old fashioned button up high on the ankle type. How did I know about the white skin? One of them reached out for some reason pulling the sleeve of her dress back above the top of her glove exposing the lower arm from wrist to elbow area. So while will have to respectively agree with the Survey's findings, not necessarily how they got there?
Not the greatest Country in the World: 46%
This one hurt a bunch. While I must admit that as a Nation, we have Warts, Pimples and the surface of our Country make it look like it was beaten with the spikes on a track shoe, we are "Still the Best of the Worst- PERIOD". The Progressive Liberal/ Socialists/ Communists that have permeated the Educational System and many other types of Governance wish to try to bring us down to the level of many of the Third World Countries. This instead of trying to help bring those other less successful Countries up to meet higher standards of living for their Citizens. So will have to not so respectively disagree with the finding of the Survey.
That Mr. Obama had more impact and is better than
Mr. (George), Washington: 44%
This reverts back to the above points on our World Status and my postings on the abject failures of our Educational System to teach the kids Truthfully and without Malice a Forethought. We are for sure not perfect, but if not for the tenaciousness of those like Mr. Washington who braved the loss of their lives/ property, we would not be what we are today. I will admit to some fondness for Tea, but far prefer Coffee.
To try and somehow work the likes of Mr. Obama into comparative with any other President with possibly that of Mr. Carter is a slap to all the rest no matter how good or how bad? This result is so far off base as to laughable if not so serious in how bad the System is today. So with all the sincerity in my Heart/ Soul/ Body, I must disagree with the Survey.
So it is probably obvious that I agree more so with Mr. Mullen on the destruction of our Educational System by those hired to instruct it. Can it be saved? Sadly, no, there is no fire in the Bellies of the Parents and most Educational Professionals to turn back a clock rapidly approaching Midnight as our Country falls into Socialism and Communism. Mr. Mullen wrote a great deal more and none of it was complimentary to what now passes as a BOE in Wood County. We have the same music with different Lyrics as the last BOE.
But never forget, we can still protect Deer and not worry about our Children. We can go after diminishing Plumes rather than Chemicals noted/ proven to be far more dangerous. But tonight (Wednesday, while watching a local cartoon show), I observed for a couple of minutes where we have gone back from the Plumes/ Transite to again chase the C8/ Gen-X issue? And we can watch another Generation fall into the clutches of deadly drugs. The choices are ours and we seem to be making all the wrong ones? 'nuff said'.
