Excellent piece!! I am a retired school teacher of thirty years. I watched as Outcome Based Education, No Child Left Behind, then Common Core incrementally rotted out our school systems, as everything BUT educating our children became the goal...all tied to $$$$$$$. About 5 years ago, I emailed my new State Rep(who had been in education) about what was going on on our university campuses...the indoctrination of our young people in Leftist ideology. He dismissed my plea for help in balancing liberal/conservative teachers. In a few short years, those indoctrinated students, many of whom are teachers in our public schools are totally on board with the claptrap put forth as curriculum for our children...pornography/the LGBTQ agenda disguised as Comprehensive Sex Ed, SEL, now CRT...on and on. Our culture...many of our young parents who have also been indoctrinated...are "all in" on the "glossy" description of what schools are up to. Too many of them would have no idea what you have so articulately stated about what is happening in education...and would probably take exception to your truths. Thank you for describing things so succinctly.
BTW...I attended that first Tea Party at the Arch...in '09(?) with you and Dana Loesch as coordinators/hosts. A lot of water under the bridge since then. God help us and God Bless America! We have a Republic, "if we can keep it."
I take a little bit of issue about people who “love” money. Yes, I want to have plenty of money, and I want my children to have successful careers where they make a good salary. Because money means security and safety. I don’t want them to have to worry about not making the rent, or not having money for groceries, or choosing not to have a second child because it’s too expensive.
Not all people “love” money for superficial reasons.
