Now that things are shaping up into reality for many Democrats, especially Jill Biden, the reality that President Trump will be returning to the White House is taking hold. And Dr. Jill is worried that Trump will end public education as we know it. Now, there is probably nobody on earth who loves education as much as I do. I am perpetually learning; I read an average of three weekly books on various subjects because I love to learn. Most people I know have advanced degrees and many times have multiple degrees. They are primarily wealthy, too. And a lot of them speak three or more languages. I am not a fan of slack-jawed losers and dope-smoking hippies or people too lazy to get out of bed early each day and get the most out of a day. But as I have said for many decades now, public education is a disaster. Government-made education is a horrendous detriment that was ill-conceived in the beginning and has turned out to be a disaster for our society. The teacher unions have destroyed the concept and ruined many children along the way, and the future of education cannot be public education. It needs to be destroyed for the impediments it has imposed itself to our nation and lives. Like a lot of things that progressives (communists trying to mask themselves in a free culture like America), their concepts of a centrally planned society vacant of individual achievement were wrong from the start. And every generation that continues with this mess will be further destroyed intellectually, so time is of the essence. When President Trump is restored to the White House, he needs to do what Ronald Reagan never had the guts to do, and that is to end the Department of Education, decentralize how education is performed with kids, and make sure that any tax money that goes into education goes to the child, and not a zip code brick and mortar school system.
I have been warning my local school system that the financial model for public education was going to have to change. And why wouldn’t it? What is good about public education? When I was growing up, adults told me that what would matter to me were the friends I made, the school jackets, the class rings, and the sense of belonging that you get from the public school experience. It would be about class reunions, the memories of learning things, and the friends you made along the way. In reality, none of that matters. In adult life, people revert their attention to their families and quickly forget about the people they went to school with. Those high school years are of very little significance and certainly not worth the damage they do to a person trying to make them into social creatures. That is not the natural state of a human being but a desired attribute of a centralized, planned society. So, we have built this entire social system to implement the communism that was becoming fashionable in the late 1800s. The check is coming due to its monstrous failure on all human beings worldwide. Public education has been a mess from Dewey’s beginning, and there are no prospects of that changing any time soon. Under the labor unions that run these schools, it is communist ideology that they function from and teach to the students, which then ruins them for life. And in most cases, that includes the people reading this right now. Few people escape the damage done to them by public education because its foundation from the beginning was rotten.
Of course, when we talk about communism, we are not being inflammatory; we are just using the correct words. Marx and Engles’s ideas about communism were migrating around Europe through Masonic memberships, and they were being exported as dangerous ideas directly into churches, labor unions, and society memberships as Marxism, socialism, and progressivism to percolate around most thinking at the turn of the twentieth century. Most people are so accustomed to these concepts that they don’t know anything else at this point. So these are assumed traits, but they were never American. Communism was the European fad, and it was exported worldwide. As it moved as a philosophy into Russia and then down into China, they were calling it Democrat politics in America to soft sell it as something that could Trojan Horse it into our culture, which was taught in public education as its core foundation. To prevent any competition of thought, the labor unions set the agenda, which was the net objective of communism. So, at their core, what they were teaching children and society at large was outlined in the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, and we are witnessing the danger across the world to this very day. Luckily, there are some competitive alternatives in America, such as homeschooling and private schools. And in the case of mass media culture, competing ideas can undo or overshadow the bad things learned in public education. We are free to read, watch, and consume many other ideas, which is why our culture hasn’t failed. However, the centralized model of public education has been a complete disaster with very little redeeming value to it.
Granted, when we designed a public education system, one of the reasonable goals was for people to learn the basics. A person living in a very remote area such as the mountains of Colorado would learn to read, write, and gain basic social skills that would allow them to interact with someone from New York City with a standardized understanding of the world. So public education isn’t all bad if looked at from that point of view. But if that is the goal, there are other ways to get there. To say that education is essential is an understatement. However, public education, run by the same government that can do very little else right, is socially destructive and a menace to the furtherance of human civilization. If communism is the foundation of all public education, then it’s rotten and needs to be tossed out. Only free market ideas pushing each other to be better should be acceptable, and we must be bold enough to admit that. I would say that education is the cornerstone of any advanced culture. However, a centralized education cannot be driven and set by the government. It needs free market applications that are much less prison-like and more designed to unlock the intellect of curious creatures before they lose their ability to grow at their critical age junctures. Unfortunately, Most people don’t develop much beyond the age of 15, so a person’s intellect can be destroyed forever by whatever they have learned before that age. So, with that in mind, we must make significant adjustments to our nation’s education policy. For those reforms to occur, we have to admit to the massive disaster that public education has been causing for generations of people and stop destroying more generations. We need to be bold and decentralize it completely. Only then can we hope to see any improvements in our social intellect.
