When I was a kid, I don’t recall the vitriol and outright hatred of our country as we do today. I’m old enough to remember the bicentennial where even rock stars celebrated an exceptionable moment in world history. Our independence is worthy of being lauded, not condemned.
What could’ve caused this 180 in a span of just 40 years? I don’t think we have to look any further than our educational system and the Progressives who’ve taken it over. These people have plotted to brainwash American children for well over a century; instead of teaching about independence and self-government, educators are emphasizing a doctrine of interdependence. Here is an excerpt from the Tennessee Star:
How did we get from the Declaration of Independence to the State of Political Correctness?
In 1918, Mary Parker Follett wrote, in The New State, group organization would subsume popular government, “The training for the new democracy must be from the cradle – through nursery, school and play, and on and on through every activity of our life. Citizenship is not to be learned in good government classes or current events courses or lessons in civics. It is to be acquired through those modes of living and acting which shall teach us how to grow the social consciousness. This should be the object of all day school education, of all night school education, of all our supervised recreation, of all our family life, of our club life, of our civic life.
“When we change our ideas of the relation of the individual to society, our whole system of education changes. What we want to teach is interdependence, that efficiency waits on discipline, that discipline is obedience to the whole of which I am a part… when we know how to teach social discipline, then we shall know how to ‘teach school.’ The object of education is to fit children into the life of the community.” P.363
In Marquardt’s analysis, the goal Follett set for our education system was the complete reformation of the American mind; our lives must focus completely on losing our individual rights in subordination to the group.
Little wonder that after a century of education influenced by Mary Parker Follett’s ideas vast numbers of Americans believe our country is the source of most of the world’s ills.
If we don’t take back our schools and universities, this country is doomed. A nation of self-loathing citizens will not survive.
