Classroom Brainwashing
|
Subject: Exposing Obama's Classroom Brainwashers
In a PJTV video titled:
Joe Hicks covers much the same territory that I do on this blog,
pointing out that our public schools are becoming more indoctrination
centers than houses of learning.
I disagree with Joe on one point. We can stop this
if a loud, vocal movement begins to speak out against the concept
of state-run education and we work to completely privatize all of
our schools. Quoting from the article by law professor Rodney A.
Smolla that I reference in my previous blog entry below:
"Nothing in the U.S. Constitution requires a state or
local government to operate public schools. On one level,
the existence of free public schools is thus a privilege that
the state is presumptively free to extend or not extend to its
student-citizens as it pleases."
There is nothing other than inertia stopping the citizens of this
country from declaring that there should be a complete and total
separation of both education and economics from the state, just
as we have proclaimed a bright line separation for religion.
Unfortunately, over the past 60 years, the history of the
separation of religion and state has been one of slow erosion.
As the introduction of God has been pushed slowly into the
secular realm of government, that movement has been responsible
for opening the door for these other abuses. I would hope that
it should now be clear that in order to prevent a torrent of
abuses, government, as a repository of retaliatory force used to
protect the constitutional rights of its citizens, must b
e precluded from stepping over its rigidly defined constitutional
boundaries. And this can only be accomplished when the wall
between religion, education and economics remain unbreached.
