New sanctions were placed on another Russian accused of subverting our 2016 election. Everyone insists that no vote was tampered with, but instead ads and articles on social media sites were the “crime”. While everyone likes a bogeyman, especially one with a dark past like the Russians, I contend that this deflects from the real culprits who undermine our election, and by doing so, our very Republic.
Our educational system has been taken over by socialists. Teachers see themselves as part of a collective, the unions to which they owe fealty, rather than to their students and our country. Now that they are more concerned with salary, pensions, benefits and working conditions, there is little concern for the content of their teaching. Instead, they look to indoctrinate their students in ways that support their view of the world and country; a view that coincides nicely with their own personal comfort.
Having taken over the curriculum, they can now denigrate our US history and capitalism, and promote socialist causes like global warming (or is it climate change now?). Slavery can be used as a cudgel to prove anything good was a result of somebody being taken advantage of. Robber barons, corporate greed, income inequality et al, are the fodder of classrooms now with no nod toward the context or alternative thinking. Malleable minds are easily directed and shaped and the result is thousands can be commanded to do the teacher/socialist’s bidding. Evidence the student walkout for climate whatever.
So, when we look to find the real culprit in our election tampering, ask yourself why we have so many that cannot discern between false narratives and facts? Why is it that so few can accurately research the truth with so much information readily available? Just what is being taught to our children by people who would walk out on the very people they are supposed to be committed to?
