Well, why you guys we're chasing down the ghosts and boogeymen hiding in the caves and deserts of the Middle East, and while you allowed "croney" capitalism (not real capitalism) to run wild in 2001 and 2008, education about enemies foreign and "domestic" and capitalism were ignored.
And it will not get any better. The right is more concerned about virtue signalling than they are about educating the next generation and actually promoting the Constitution.
I am inclined to agree here Ras...but if so,how do we change this?
It seems that education, both public schools and public universities, have moved waaay left and now tend to slander capitalism, our nation's history, etc and lead the kids towards extremely liberal beliefs and even socialism. How would we go about changing a system that is notorious for tenure and lifelong careers? It isnt even Constitutional to try and replace teachers or professors based on their political beliefs, so how could we ever change the status quo?
Seems like the 1st step would be one that we have discussed repeatedly...double teachers pay in order to attract better talent. If kids education isn't worth investing in, then what is, right? The second step would be getting conservative capitalists in charge of developing the books and resources, lesson plans, testing materials etc...to ensure that kids are learning about what makes our country different, and special in the way that we developed from a group of disorganized colonies into the most powerful nation the world has ever known in what, 150 to 200 years? 1976 was the bicentennial, and I would say that we were dominant by then for sure. (The Vietnam debacle not withstanding a decade prior, we could have easily won the war if that was the objective...rather than enriching politicians and the M.I.Complex)
What other ways do we begin ridding our nation of the disease of socialism/communism ? If the clear evidence in both history and present day Venezuela doesn't dissuade kids from believing in a failed ideology, what actually could? Ideas, anyone? Do you guys not think it is very important to stop these garbage beliefs and negative attitudes towards our country in the youth?
