Education = Moonbat Indoctrination

I don’t know, it may well be me, but it seems like the left leaning cant of the educational system is leaning more left than ever. The only confusing part of the whole thing is how the leftards that post as representative of the liberal / progressive population keep pretending to be:
a)     Victims
b)     Liberal, and
c)     Progressive

when, in fact, they really are:
a)     Victimizers AND professional victims (whiners)
b)     The LEAST liberal faction of the population (as they believe only in their own rights)
c)     regressive.

I continue to blame the education system; that system that wants students at earlier and earlier ages to maximize the indoctrination. Think about it … are any of the moonbats that commonly post or comment saying anything very different from Mao’s Red Brigade? Or Hitler’s Youth Corps? Or the Russian’s youth groups?  (That was, of course, a rhetorical question, since the only possible answer is “no, nothing different”)  It “sounds” good but doesn’t work and never has, and is only aimed at creating a privileged class of “people who just want to help.”  Of course, that fact that the people that they want to “help” don’t want their “help” is just looked on as ungrateful … since they have just “so much” to offer. Sort of reminds one of the poster I used to have in my office – “Hire them before they’re 20, while they still know everything.”

Back to that education system I blame. And, yes, I wholeheartedly do. Blame. Them. From ancient times to fairly recently, teachers were the best and the brightest. And they were that way for one reason – they were passing along knowledge THEY had gained throughout their life. Because they were older folks who cared enough about their craft and their society to pass along their knowledge. Through apprenticeship programs that slowly passed along skills to the apprentice in all the crafts, and even in the arts, the young learned from the elders. Not just any carpenter had apprentices – only the better ones. And the better ones were easy to recognize, as their wares were much in demand.

This is where our societal attention has wandered from … a system where personal knowledge and skills were passed on, to a system where “teachers” read a book and listen to a “professor” and then try to pass “knowledge” along. And since they HAVE no knowledge, they have no passion … so they try to counterbalance their utter lack of relevance with feel good CRAP like self-esteem. Self-esteem that would be earned by the student gaining some knowledge that would make them valuable citizens and employees (or even employers). None of the elder statesmen of history were professional politicians – they were all people who had LIVED before entering public service. They taught and advised and created based on history and personal experiences.

I have oft equated professional religious leaders to con-men ….. “earning” their living by counseling in matters they had no experience in and contributing not a whit to the GDP. However, they do have at least some small value, in helping focus groups on morals.  Teachers, on the other hand, no longer contribute any real value to society. Instead of passing along value in the form of wisdom and knowledge and skills, they exist solely to benefit themselves. Instead of contributing when they have great knowledge and smaller needs – being in the twilight of their years, we have indoctrinated youngsters interested in building their wealth who have great “needs” and little knowledge to pass on. So, instead of doing what they’re grossly overpaid for (but incapable of performing) they self-appoint themselves to indoctrinate their captive audience in “Bobbie has two mommies” and “gay marriage should be mandatory” … and similar topics of no value to aid these youngsters in getting and keeping jobs.

Underlining my above-noted belief is the flood of news lately about young female school teachers who are so immature that they institute sexual relations with their students … the latest having been a 26 year old who had sex with her 14 year old student during her HONEYMOON.  That certainly dots the i’s for me!
