THE AUTHOR’S ANALYSIS OF “WHAT” IS BEING TAUGHT IN THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS IS VERY GOOD. Of course, like most conservatives, he gets the “who” should teach the children question completely wrong. To “reform” the government schools is the same as nineteenth-century people saying we should “reform” the institution of slavery rather than abolishing it. The New Public School Orthodoxy
The purpose of public-school education is to indoctrinate future generations into a new orthodoxy, a replacement worldview for the beliefs that animated previous generations of Americans. Sex-ed promoter SIECUS, for example, openly advertises its aim: “Sex Ed for Social Change.” This new orthodoxy is religious in nature, with its own dogmas and practices. Metaphysical claims are supported with appeals to “ancestral” and even pagan roots. California’s version of CRT (“ethnic studies“), encourages teachers to guide children in chants to Mayan and Aztec deities. Utterly rejected, of course, is anything resembling the biblical worldview upon which all of western culture developed and advanced, along with its derivative concepts: the nuclear family, liberal democracy, capitalism, and equal protection under law.
