The Next Generation Is Being Groomed For Destruction – Here's Why They Are Vulnerable
[Alt-Market US] The past week the National Education Association, the largest teachers union in the US, issued guidance on the use of leftist activist symbols in public school classrooms. As part of their advice to teachers, they recommended violating district and state rules and hanging items such as pride flags and BLM flags. This is generally cited as a means to "start a conversation," a way for teachers to circumvent school rules. They might not be able to spend each day spinning lessons on woke concepts, but if a child asks a question about the flags in the room, then they can provide "context."

The NEA has been one of the primary driving forces behind the intrusion of woke ideology into the public school setting. Around 97% of their political fundraising goes towards Democrat candidates. They seem to be obsessed with the grooming of children into the leftist fold with lessons focused on Critical Race Theory, gender fluid propaganda and socialism. If you want to know where the sudden surge in social justice cultism came from in terms of America’s kids, leftist teachers and the NEA are to blame.

Keep in mind that the teachers unions are encouraging their members to break the law and lose their jobs, just to double down on political indoctrination. Contrary to popular belief, teachers do NOT have free speech rights while at work. Woke teachers might fantasize about being Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society fighting against the system, but the the truth is they ARE the system. There are numerous reasons why rules for teacher behavior are necessary.

Narcissistic teachers are parasites that view the classroom as a place where they are owed affirmation. They see the children in their class as a captive audience that they can feed off of to gain attention, admiration and justification. They look down on parents as inferiors and treat students as their own personal puppets for molding and controlling.

In their minds, the kids don’t belong to the parents, the kids belong to "society." Progressive educators see themselves as the benevolent shepherds chosen by the collective to condition the minds of the next generation. Teaching academics is secondary — Manufacturing new leftist recruits is more important to them. This is the hill they have chosen to die on and they will not back away from it. They have made it clear that the targeting of children is their paramount concern.

To be sure, the woke cult is losing steam lately. Even the kids are starting to fight back against it, with the largest spike in conservatism among high school boys that the US has seen in a long time. They are getting fed up. But there is definitely good reasons why leftists are implementing psychological warfare against America’s youth. Lets examine what I feel are the top three...

#2 cited as a means to "start a conversation"

Conversations happen when both parties communicate back and forth.

As teachers, the 'conversation' is one-way only towards the students and dissent isn't allowed.

#4 ^ I'm all for individualism. Recognizing that it's freedom as the Founders envisioned it that allows for individualism, I think some people are missing the forest for the trees.

Don't rebuild it. Eventually the same actors will pervert it again. Private schools might cost more but if they don't perform the parents have choices. Just get rid of public schools. The whole paradigm is flawed.

#8 The US public schools system was modeled on the Prussian model whose goal was to produce the next generation of subjects for the Prussian Monarchy ...reasonably happy loyal taxpayers and fodder for the Prussian military state. Private schools are paid for by the parents and meant to produce self-reliant young adults (who can pay back their parent's investment hopefully). Different goals, different methods and different results.
