Leftist teachers brainwash students

No rational person would argue with this statement from MLK:

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.
...Martin Luther King


Now, here's a couple quotes on education from famous communists:

Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
...Vladimir Lenin

The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions.
...Karl Marx


My neighbor is removing her daughter from the public junior high school she currently attends. My neighbor is able to work from home and can arrange her schedule to home school her daughter. She used the term "rescuing" her.
A history teacher at the school is an avowed socialist who hates America, cops, capitalism, Trump, Christians, men, 'rednecks', The American South, and climate-change deniers.

The teacher recently went on a tirade about how conservatives are brainwashed by Trump's 'Make America Great Again' slogan.
The teacher has been discussing this book, which was written by a former 'Moonie' cult member. It explains the Trump 'brainwashing program'.

The daughter told the teacher that she knew some conservatives Trump supporters who were nice people. You can guess how that went over!
The daughter received a low grade on an assignment the following day. What a shock.

To make my case for the OP, I'll offer some evidence.
(As far as 'cultist' Trump supporters go, I will readily admit that many are over-zealous followers who lack critical thinking skills. My observation has been that the Trumpers are not hate-filled fanatics who want to destroy those with different ideologies.)

Teachers trying to stop students from listening to "alt-right" people:



Teacher Tweeting about how he needs to get the students away from their parents, so he can "teach them"

It looks to me like the leftists are "the cult". Don't cults attempt to seperate members from friends and family so they can indoctrinate them? The lefties are engaging in textbook cult behavior.

I saw this video about a school in USA, i thought wth?

Simpsons seem to paint the story quite well. There's indoctrination everywhere, not just from far leftist.
I went to a Roman catholic highschool, and had a teacher who would stand up there and basically tell us all we have to get married have lots of kids, and show slide shows of creationist propaganda. Don't tell me that doesn't happen in the states.

My son is a teacher. He specializes in "behavioral" classrooms, where kids end up when no other teachers will accept them. So his teaching is absolutely relegated more to memorizing rather than internalizing. And I can understand that, in his case.

But, and I think almost all teachers will agree, the involvement of federal oversight in classrooms has resulted in a near cessation of critical thought exercise, and an implementation of rote memorization exercise. To me, the most nefarious part of this is the grooming of students to take what teachers say as gospel without critical examination.

As a parent my challenge was to correct this thinking without undermining the educational process. Because if nothing else, my kids still need that piece of paper showing completion of curriculum. Making that harder was the change in processes. For example, i am a mathematician by trade. While its only accounting, the fact remains that I have always had a strong basis in algebra, including boolean function. When my kids needed help with math, we would work through it. And they'd always fail. It seems that now to do basic math you have to draw squares, write numbers in the corners, etc. Seems extremely stupid and time wasting to me, and my math was always the more classical. Despite being able to do math, my assistance caused them to fail. Which only caused them to question me, and my own accument/education even more. Add to that the constant barrage of television that lampoons parenthood, in particular fathers (who are often portrayed as dull and clueless in childrens programming), and its easy to see a rift being built.

Fast forward to 2020....millenials and Gen Zers assume that anyone older than them are idiots. They ridicule the wisdom of their seniors and call us "Boomers". And while I don't expect anyone to take my word for something without applying critical thought...the schools no longer teach critical thinking. So we are left with yet another divide.

Its hard to believe it could be manufactured from the beginning. But maybe it is. I do know its being capitalized on.

I went to Catholic school too. We sometimes joked about it being like a cult. There was some dogma and superstition in the church, but overall, the school curriculum was great. Aside from the basic studies, we were taught morals, personal responsibilty, and what could best be described as "traditionl values", like family and community.

The public schools of today, and especially the universities literally mock those things. They teach their doctrine, period. My neighbor's teacher is proof. They are pushing a far-left agenda. It's obvious. They're not hiding it.
I couldn't beleive some of the other stuff she told me, about how they just flat-out ridicule traditional values and ethics
and 'celebrate' anything and everything outside of the traditional family\community mores.

It's not just schools either. The big multi nationals and their HR departments are using the same methods for their employees. I worked for one years ago, (20) and it was like a cult. I didn't realize it at the time, but what I was witnessing and part of was brainwashing thru employment. It was the beginning of the conditioning that we are seeing as "mainstream" at the current time.

That absolutely does not happen in public schools in the states.

i went to a catholic school for 1 year in kindergarten. I got beat on an awful lot by the nuns or teachers (i don't know that we had nuns, i think it was wives to the deacons or something). I was already really messed up from predivorce baggage, and they only made thing worse.

That's my experience too mate - not all teachers but there is certainly a large percentage projecting their subversive, ideological (and cultist) opinions onto young people whilst simultaneously robbing them of an objective education - very disturbing stuff.

Your thread did remind me of this great short.

And it should stay that way.

But there was , and still is a huge push to put religious studies into public education. Guys like Kent hovind, and Ken ham lobbied hard to make it a political matter.

I think today’s schools are better.

When I was in grade/elementary school in the 50s — it was read/memorize/take a test.

And they only cared about the “middle of the road” child. If you were on either side of that — you were pretty much on your own.

I don’t get where people think — in the past — kids were taught to think. They weren’t.

Thinking is a problem for the teacher. It requires special attention to that child.

I personally think social awareness and actual real time experiences are more valuable than memorizing dates from history. IMO history is only valuable if it’s taught with comparisons — which it isn’t in lower grades.

Children need to live in their generation — not their parents generation.

But, the one major factor in education is parent involvement.

That film is a perfect example of how these woke screwballs think. Logic and reason don't matter.
Reality is what they want it to be. It's hilarious.

We've spent the first couple of weeks adding context to the school's history curriculum. They got taught all about slavery ... and not much else.

We told our son the story of the blind men and the elephant. Then we said that while technically nothing he'd been taught was wrong, history itself, including the history of slavery and the US was the elephant, and all his lessons had simply focused on just one piece of the elephant like the blind man touching the trunk, and just like that blind man didn't know the whole about the elephant from the trunk, we were adding context to his lessons to give him a fuller picture of the animal beyond the trunk because the history of the US and the history of slavery are both much, much larger animals than the tiny little piece he was seeing.

I was taught how to think, but not well enough to be successful as an adult. It wasn't until the internet that I fully internalized basic debate rules, etc.

I realize that urban schools were just gristmills. And im sure many rural ones were too. The one I went to had good teachers. The only teacher that ever failed me was my trig/calc teacher my senior year.

My biggest complaint about modern education is the math. "New math" is nonsense, and is in no way superior to the math we all learned growing up.

I have a book (somewhere) about education in colonial America. Long before the organized educational system was in place, some towns had schools with curriculums that were very impressive. Amazing, really. Their aim was to develope "enlightened" citizens. The students were taught dozens of practical subjects. 1600-1700s

They target children because anyone with a fully formed brain will tell you.

Maybe if they left their political agenda out they could teach them eh?

Crazy concept I know.

My grandmother taught in a one room schoolhouse in the Oklahoma pandhandle. The same schoohouse she was educated in, prior to getting a degree from one of the religious universities. She ended her career doing study hall in El Paso Coronado. She despised public education, and that was in the late 80s. She didn't like the removal of what she thought was basic stuff. Like making trig a boxed in specialty honors class.
