Educators Teach Doctrine of Interdependence Instead of American Independence

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.

The Spirit of Effeminization

The United States has changed since I was a kid.  I remember when the country celebrated the bicentennial of our founding.  In those days, Americans took pride in their heritage.  It doesn’t seem that way anymore, particularly in pop culture.  Long gone are the days of John Wayne.  Now we have movies like Machete that laud illegal aliens and devalue American citizenship.  Our nation’s politics and media buttress this new ideal.

The Spirit of ’76 witnessed a great American win the decathlon at the Montreal Olympics.  Bruce Jenner was the pride of the nation.  Every kid during that time remembers his face on boxes of Wheaties.  We ate the “breakfast of champions” while watching School House Rock on Saturday mornings.  Now we find out he’s a woman trapped in a man’s body.  WTF is that all about?

The culture has become effeminate.  Men are portrayed as predators. Many have become self-loathing she-males who constantly check their underwear wondering why God cursed them with a pair of balls.  

Back in the 70’s men were proud to be men.  They didn’t shave their chest and legs.  I don’t recall any self-respecting man wearing onesie pajamas sipping hot chocolate and demanding free stuff from the government.  That just didn’t happen.

If you go on a construction site today, chances are you’ll hear either Mexican music, or, crap that is played at dance clubs.  Mind you these are big, tattooed men working at manly jobs.  They are playing music you’ll hear blaring out of your prepubescent daughter’s bedroom.  Now that is a sure sign the culture has changed.

Dr. Larry Schweikart, a professor of history at the University of Dayton, described how the power of rock n’ roll music changed the world.  Here is an excerpt from a Carolina Journal interview:

Kokai: People will have to watch the movie to get the whole story, but tell us what was the role of rock ‘n’ roll in fighting the Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall?

Schweikart: The first thing, and what might be surprising to many people, was it wasn’t the lyrics, because so many of them did not understand English. But what appealed to them was the freedom of rock ‘n’ roll as a musical structure. And this meant that in rock — country, jazz, blues, [too], but we focused on rock — these are all American music forms, and they start together as a group, they end together as a group, but in the middle you always have the solo. 

And I discovered that was an expression of America, and Western values, that you do things together as a society, but you never lose track of the individual. The individual always gets a chance to shine. And I think that, as much as anything else, really appealed to people — that they could sense that coming through. 

And, of course, there was a general freedom and rebelliousness of rock that is not there with classical music. Classical music is played the same from century to century to century, you know? And while you can have different players, and they can do it very well, they’re essentially playing what Beethoven wrote, you know, 200 years ago. Well, rock ‘n’ roll changes every single time you play it because of the solos, but also because no two players play it alike, which is why we have so much cover music

Have you noticed there aren’t solos in today’s rock and roll?  What does that say about modern American culture?
