IT’S MORE ABOUT CORRECT FEELINGS THAN KNOWLEDGE: Is Civics Education About Civics? New RAND Survey Suggests Teachers Think Not

BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT CHILDREN BELONG TO THE STATE: Professors in Connecticut Reject Parents’ Involvement in Their Children’s Education

IMAGINE WHAT IT MUST BE LIKE IN A STATE SUCH AS MASSACHUSETTS OR CALIFORNIA? 5 out of 11 University of Georgia humanities departments have zero Republican professors.

CLASS SIZE LIES Imagine if a Major League All-Star Game roster was increased to 70 players from the current 35, you would certainly see a diminution in quality. The same is true in education.

The number of children in the classroom has no effect on educational achievement.

The perennial, “We have a teacher shortage!” canard has a younger and equally bogus sibling known as, “Children do better in a small class setting!” In fact, lower class size is very often on the list of demands when teachers go out on strike. Most recently educators in Columbus, OH, Mahomet, IL, and Seattle, WA struck, and smaller classes were part of the negotiating package in each district.

STUDENTS OF THE WORLD UNITE! You have nothing to lose but the stupidity of those who rule you: Students walk out in protest over woke assistant principal who told staff to use their ‘straight, white privilege’ to back new gender-neutral homecoming royalty – after prom king and queen titles were axed.

PRETTY SURE THESE ARE THE WRONG PRIORITIES. I’m so old that I can remember when the government schools were nominally about, ya know, education as the priority.

THE CANCER SPREADS: Schools on U.S. military bases adopting ‘woke’ agendas

Schools on American military bases, educating almost 70,000 children of service personnel, push the same anti-racism curriculum found in America’s most liberal school districts, with the goal of preparing these students for lives dedicated to a global citizenship meant to displace American citizenship and the American way of life. . . .

 

As part of delivering on the Defense Department’s diversity agenda, the Pentagon sponsored an “Equity and Access” conference in 2021, where teachers from around the military system delivered talks about promoting queer theory, “antiracism,” global citizenship, and left-wing activism generally.

 

The content was, to put it gently, enlightening. Military base teachers instructed their colleagues how to insert antiracist ideology into their classrooms through a simple, two-step process. First, cultivate a sense of guilt and discomfort in students through subtle accusations. Second, replace the previous complacency and comfort with a commitment to activism and a sense of mission about restructuring society and the world.

BUT THE TEACHERS’ UNIONS SAID THAT THEY WERE FOLLOWING THE SCIENCE IN CLOSING THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS FOR 18 MONTHS. What science? New study shows masks don’t stop COVID spread in schools

Say want you want about the tragedy of George Floyd, but the BLM protests and riots that happened over that summer are a direct result of covid lockdowns. Young people, bored and restless, having been cruelly isolated for months with no school, no playgrounds, no outlets save toxic digital media, were all of a sudden let out of their cages. The virtue of staying home to save Grandma was instantly forgotten. The new virtue was to join the protests and atone for the sins of slavery and Jim Crow. The level of hypocrisy was hard to fathom…By this past summer, the answer I had been avoiding was unavoidable. New York City is not savable. Not for a generation at least. Possibly not forever.

JUSTIFY THIS. I DARE YOU: As Per-Pupil Spending Pushes $30,000, Performance Plunges

More than a year after the COVID-19 lockdowns, several major metropolitan school districts across the country are reporting record-level spending per student while enrollment dwindles. New York City, Chicago, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles have increased per student budget expenses in the last five years while academic outcomes have fallen considerably.

 

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) now spends over $29,000 per student, compared to $17,800 per student in 2020. According to the Illinois State Board of Education, CPS enrollment has decreased by 8.9% since 2020, with the Chicago Sun-Times projecting an additional 2.8% decrease in 2023.

 

CPS performance has declined as well, according to the 2021 Illinois Report Card. Only 26% of juniors could read or practice math at grade-level. According to a report by Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner from Wirepoints, only 11% of Black students and 17% of Hispanic students were reading on grade level in 2021.

AND “YES,” WE MEAN LITERALLY ABOLISH THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS.

BANNED BOOKS BUNKUM And, of course, the National Education Association – chief kiddie porn-purveyor in the country – embraces Banned Books Week. A perfect example of the union’s perverse leanings was recently reported by Christopher Rufo. He writes that the NEA and its local affiliate in Hilliard, Ohio, have been providing staff in the city’s school district with QR code-enabled badges, which point to the “NEA LGBTQ+ Caucus” website and resources from various gender activist organizations.

What the anti-book banning fetish in our schools is really about.

Mercifully, Banned Books Week, celebrated Sept. 18-24 this year, is over, and we can take a deep breath for the next 51 or so weeks till it once again rears its ugly, hysterical, manipulative, leftwing head.

Whatever righteousness this week may have once held, it has been taken over by progressive sex obsessives and groomers who are trying to legitimize the field once known quaintly as “obscenity.”
