History Education

         We have to learn from history, but our youth can’t learn from history unless our education system teaches accurate history.  Too often, educators try to change or hide history in order to advance their political agenda.  This is bringing America down a dangerous path.

        One of the major things George Orwell showed in 1984 was how the government controlled and changed history to keep people ignorant and compliant.  How did Orwell see that our own education system was moving in this direction in 1949 when 1984 was first published?

        Today books are banned, statues are torn down, and free speech is prohibited if anyone considers it offensive or “hate” speech.  Hate speech includes anything Christian, conservative, or anything to do with Trump including, “Make America Great Again.”

        Millennials think socialism sounds good and fair because everything is free.  They don’t ask who pays for all the free stuff. They haven’t been taught how socialism always leads to poverty, despair, and dictatorial big government controlling every aspect of their lives.

        Nancy Pelosi advocates lowering the voting age to 16 because “We need to CAPTURE kids when they are in high school.  This is frightening.

        I find it totally immoral how kids are brainwashed and then used to advance political agendas like climate change.  Universities are even worse.  They divide the country, discriminate, and offer safe spaces for minorities.  Universities offer courses in gender studies, black history, the Koran, and teach The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, but don’t teach accurate American history and government. 

        The cost of higher education has spiraled out of control.  Tuition and university staff salaries have risen much faster than inflation.  Four year colleges offer worthless courses and degrees that do not prepare the students for the real world.  Students graduate with huge student loans and no way of earning a decent living.  Instead of teaching socialist positions, I advocate every university should require a course in something useful like insurance which everyone needs and few understand. 

        There was a time when the United States had the best educational system in the world.  That is no longer true.  What happened?  We used to teach the three Rs, history and civics.  Now we teach political agendas and political correctness so no one’s feelings get hurt.  We give participation trophies.  That is not the real world.

        Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals advocated eight steps for creating a socialist state.  Education was number six.  He recommended taking control of the media and what people see and hear, and take control of what children learn in school.  If this continues it will be the end of out great republic.

If you don’t see that, then you’re part of the problem.”

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.
