Public education has become public indoctrination.

Public education has become public indoctrination.

Now you may say that it always was and the is true to some degree.
But what it was indoctrinating at one time was American Ideals; fair play...hard work... individualism...courage...manhood...honor.

Now?
Now it is one world-ism... conformity..socialism ,,, diversity..and uni-sexism.

Note the use of pre-printed tests...they give them to you in a flash drive when you buy the books for the class.
Wonderful.!!!..don't have to stay up nights composing tests..
GRAND!!!...the parents cannot say that the test was "Unfair" ...you are against THEIR kid. as you did not compose the test.
Just make sure that you posted the required reading pages on the class web site and the kids cannot complain that you did not teach "what was on the test'
Too professionally incompetent to evaluate your class? Not a problem. The issue test has all the "Standards" requirements needed to keep the principal happy. wonderful.

BUT LOOK the test.

Among the worst of the many problems of America is: A. Genocide of native people...B. Institutional racism/ sexism against people of color and women.
C. Denial of basic human rights to gays... D .All of the above.

The major inventions of the last 1500 years:. Gunpowder used as peaceful fireworks... The Compass....Paper...and Printing were all taken by warlike Europeans from the creative cultures of ...A. Korea ...B.China..C. India...D. Islam.

In a bold vision to create a more just community "Das Kaptial" was written by; A. Stalin...B. Lenin..C..Marx...D.Che.

The major reason the South attacked Fort Sumter was: A. To defend racism and slavery. B. To expand slavery into the territory stolen from Mexico. C. To prevent Lincoln from freeing the slaves...D. To stop to the Underground Railroad.

Now you give that sort of test to the kids from k to 12 and just how do you think that the kids are going to react as adults?
The student wants to pass and please his/ her parents and Hey..the "teacher told us"...Got to be true.

The young teacher? All she or he knows is that the tests came with the textbooks, they cannot get in trouble for using them, new teachers can be a nervous lot, and it is just easier to print them out. New teachers have a thousand things to do and little time to do it.
PTA...PTG...Meetings...Reports...Inservices..Wasc. ..etc.....yard duty...traffic duty...the better ones will stay late, without pay, and tutor the slow kids who want to learn. Sleep? Not for the first two or three years...sort of like Marine ITR. : )

Just use the nice preprinted tests....Look up "the Long march through the Institutions'.....none of this is accidental.
