The only thing I found surprising about it, was how openly he admits to wanting to program our kids. They generally do not come right out and say it like this.
people like that get cocky when they think most people agree with them. I'm with Let'sShrug on this one-the best way to combat it is to teach every young person you know to ask lots of questions. Question everything. Do not accept what you are told without thinking about it logically and rationally. IF you hear something that does not make sense-question it. It was interesting that chinese high schoolers ignored the environmental doctrines.
"The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river; and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future" Sir Dahlberg-Acton
Khalling is right about "people like that get cocky when they think most people agree with them". They DO now come right out and say it like this. That is what is different now. The mask is off. They do not hide their socialist goals any longer.
I think somewhere around 1/3 of Americans can still see evil for what it is. However with things like common core in place that number will dwindle down to about 1 in 10 rather than 1 in 3.
Only a good parent who spends time with there kids talking about what is being done to them and teaching them to think by taking opposing views and creating good discussion stands between the loss of what was America and a Totalitarian world where none recognize evil for what it is.
I know you weren't talking about us when it came to recognizing evil, but with what we have here in the Gulch, do we really need anyone else? I am sure that most of us are completely independent and don't even need fellow Gulchers, but it is nice to have some company along an otherwise lonely way. The path we take is already hard enough as it is
The problem is that most people don't study patterns and therefore don't recognize that they are dealing with evil until damage is done.
Even then, evil people "project" the damage they do onto the innocent victim, so all their plotting and planning ends up damaging their victim BOTH ways.
In the case of education, they damage the child's ability to think and leave them with a damaged cognition which they then use to control their victim.
Yes...you have to know what evil looks like to recognize it when it reveals itself. People are easily swayed by a nice smile or friendly gesture. They ignore warning signs usually because that want to BELIEVE the person is being honest with them. This is a huge pet peeve of mine. Plus too many these days are scared of offending someone so pointing a finger and calling someone what they are is a frightening thought to them. Oh...and what's up with people who can't say "no". Why do so many people feel the need to be liked by everyone, as if that's important some how. People are weak. arg.
If you read the actual article, Cass R. Sunstein never says that he wants to indoctrinate anyone, merely that doing so is possible. Hence the warning he gives at the closing of the article.
There will be nothing difficult about convincing high school or college kids to love the state when they're already starting to be taught that crap in elementary school. When they teach the little ones about past presidents it's all love and safety and happiness. They don't divulge anything negative the president has done, any constitutional laws they have broken, any anti-individual decisions they've made. In grade school it's all about working as a team, accomplishing things together. I hear nothing about the significance of freedom or the importance of retaining it, OR that we're losing it daily more and more. What Sunstein proposes, will be easy peasy, unless the parents are paying attention and start doing something about it. From what I've seen, most parents don't have a clue, as long as they have free daycare and two free meals a day for their kids, their IN.
Its a good thing my wife does not come in here. You would be getting pages about the two free meals a day. Ya its a hot button spot with her, I even avoid it cause I do not have an hour to listen to her agony about it again. lol. Its good to have a mate who shares both my passion and generally my views.
One of the first posts I made in here was about gov free lunches...WHAT A WASTE! Our tax dollars literally get thrown into the garbage every day... I'll stop here Xenox, I know you've already heard the rest. :)
Well, I've been saying it all along lol. I did not fear for my job whatsoever. I was as vocal as I wanted to be, if I got fired for it then so be it. Ask anybody in here...they'll tell ya. I had a tussle with the Principal last year, not about speaking my mind really, more about me advising him that I was no longer going to do certain things, he said he couldn't promise me a job next year (this happened last year) and our conversation ended with me saying, "If that's the way it's going to be then you'll have to fire me." The teachers went to bat for me, and I wasn't fired, but I was prepared to be because I will not play games or tip toe or kiss ass. :) Amazing how most people do not know how to digest up-front, grown up honesty. They're so used to having some sort of thumb on you and they don't know how to react when they realize some can't be persuaded with a mild threat or intimidation.
Khalling is correct below when she says LetsShrug is female, but I couldn't help but think of the time is AS when Cheryl Taggart refers to herself as the woman in the family now, but then Dagny responds that that is OK because she is the man in the family. That was my daughter's favorite line in the whole movie.
There is 4 years between me and number 4. She resented me my whole life for stealing her babyshipness. Does that make one determined in life??? lol I was born this way, that's all I know.
In a strange way that info helps my research in a way that was unanticipated. Thank you. FYI: I am an only-daughter of an only-daughter of an only-daughter and have spent my life being persecuted for "thinking like a man" . (Dagny?)
Never afraid of new things. Speak in public regularity. Prefer principles to "rules" ...and will break rules to garner sanity. Question everything that doesn't "jibe" with reality. Seek knowledge for its own sake. ...etc.
I'm not adventurous, I prefer to stay home, I don't like people much lol (the vast majority are disappointing)...never speak in public (no no no no), but the rest of that, yes. :)
Yes. My older brother was born badly and ended up in an institution when he was 6 and I was 5. Two more brothers followed ...and because of the dysfunction I ended up as the "substitute mom". Brothers can be a good thing. Almost no "competition"!
Wow... sorry about your brother :(.. my childhood was near perfect, well except for the one sister who wanted to kill me, other than that it was great. lol
Check any high school civics text and you'll see the indoctrination is well under way. So I do not use it, I show the kids on day 1, "here is our text" then I proceed to say we will not be using it because it has one answer for everything....ask the State for help. I do not trust the State in fact I resent it, yet I believe in you the individual. Don't ever take my word for anything, question me, question everything. But I'm 1 of 8 in social studies. Yea home schooling is a good option.
I'm almost feeling good about being in the "check out" column in life, it's all downhill from here for me. I'm not sure, but it seems to me that this permanent dirt nap thing is His plan to protect us from having to put up with all the political and social changes coming down the line. My kids don't seem to worry about any of it like I do, and I 'm not even going to be here to experience what they are not concerned about.
It's like the Chinese, not knowing what our way of life is all about, they still support their way over ours. But then again, do they really not know with all the communications technology out there? There are even some of us here that can't see how good it's been in the US all these years. Apparently indoctrination started here a long time ago and is just getting more prevalent in our schools and other places our youth gathers to be brainwashed. Wow, I sound like I got some kind of defeatist attitude. I get this way after Memorial Day and Veterans Day. My attitude will change, soon, I hope.
It's what those "middle-eastern" (politically corrected) kids are being taught that really scares me.
You sound like my Dad, a little. I'm worried more for my kids and grandson than I am for myself. This downward spiral is only going to pick up speed unless we throw a monkey wrench in their works. How's your aim with a monkey wrench, Neal?
I haven't shot a monkey wrench recently, but I know my aim is still pretty good. My real shooting experience is M110 (8-inch Howitzer) and M107 (175mm Gun). and I'm proud to say we never shot out (that would be a gross error). I kind of wish I still had one or the other and a couple trucks full of ammo. Benghazi is my biggest issue. If they get away with the truth not coming out, then I really fear for my kids and grandkids.
Precisely, what difference does it make? I just want the truth and the specific facts. Today on the news I saw Jane, she still doesn't get it, she still thinks we, the military, lost the war in Vietnam. Perhaps she should run for president against Hillary. I've got to go throw up now.
There is a ray of hope. Studies on the comparative weight of environment and genetics have looked at the results of programs such as Head Start. What they found was surprising: Head Start did what it advertised - gave young people a boost. But, siblings who did not attend Head Start spontaneously leveled the playing field by about age 30. So HS would give a young person the chance to learn to play the piano when she was 10, but by the time her sibs were 30, they had learned on their own. She had an extra 20 years to enjoy the piano, but they eventually caught up. This also applied to such things as 'language use and facility' (but not, you note, language per say, which is 100% culturally determined).
So these indoctrinated kids may grow up to work their way up in government as good little pods...and then overturn the apple cart in their 30's. Indoctrination is good only if it persists; if it does not it is termed 'deep cover'.
Very interesting, but let's get back to that piano. Can someone (me specifically) learn to play the piano at age 72? I bought a Petite Grand two years ago on a whim, hired a piano teacher, fired him because he insisted on me counting out loud. I told him I wanted to learn how first then would work on the accuracy, so I started to teach myself. Using your math, 30-10=20 years. Reapplying that to my situation, 72+20=92. I sure hope I can learn in time. Did I get the math right? Is classical a good place to start?
And there you have the foundational thinking for Common Core. It starts at pre-school and follows through to the end of govt. subsidized education. Yes he is the most dangerous man in the U.S. Is there a diagnosis beyond psychopath? Oh, yes..evil.
Hello XenokRoy, Good to hear from you. Disturbing, but not surprising... just one more Obama appointee... pleasing to our beloved leader Maobama. Regards, O.A.
Glenn Beck was right when he elevated Cass to the head of the progressive class -- he's a one-man manipulation-centered autocracy, and would not get to work as dog-catcher in the gulch. -- j
