More Good News--But A Warning As Well

I never went to a “public” or government school in my life—except for a few summer school classes. My impression is that for many Americans the government school system is like a religion, a bit like the NHS in England. Many would rebel against my use of the term “government” schools because they cling—bitterly or otherwise—to the notion that these schools are “their” schools, their local schools. That was true at one time, but is no longer the case—but it’s a tough mentality to break free from. Just like any other government funded institution, the schools are targets for revolutionaries on their great march to a transhuman future.

The good news is that Covid Regime brought about a Great Awakening among parents of school age kids that is still ongoing. Parents who have kept their kids in government schools are getting involved in numbers and to a degree that is quite unprecendented, even in Blue areas. There have already been consequences also for electoral politics. Even more promising, perhaps, is that the home school movement received a big boost. I call this “even more promising” because it represents a move away from government indoctrination—riding herd over educrats is probably not practical in modern America.

So, here’s an encouraging story on the home school front:

COVID-19 drove parents to home-school their kids, but classroom politicization kept them there, Texas mom says

Texas mother pulled her children from public school after they heard gender identity discussions on the bus

The number of Lone Star State students pulled from public schools in favor of home education increased by 40% in spring 2021 compared to the previous year, according to recently released Texas Education Agency data. Many families shifted to home-schooling as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold, but Carter believes many parents continued teaching their kids themselves because of disagreements with the curricula.

Now, obviously, a 40% increase in a relatively small number is likely still a relatively small number. Still, it’s progress.

Carter became particularly concerned when she found out her children were present when their peers were discussing gender identity and sexual orientation on the school bus.

"They were learning … wildly inappropriate sexual things, gender-related things and preferences, and they were coming home and stating things about that," Carter told Fox News. "I was blown away that kindergartners were speaking like that."

Kindergartners! Get ‘em while they’re young is the operative principle.

More than two-thirds of registered voters opposed gender identity and sexual orientation being taught in elementary school, according to a recent New York Times/Siena poll. But among Democratic voters, 53% supported including gender identity in elementary school curricula.

The mom in the story expresses well the benefits of home schooling:

"It scared me to the point I didn't care if I was qualified" to teach, Carter said. "I was going to pull my kids from public schools to home-school." 

The Texas mom said she's seen academic benefits from home-schooling. 

Her kindergartner "was not reading at all when we started about a month ago," she told Fox News. "Now she is fully reading." 

Numerous peer-reviewed studies have found that home-school students scored higher on standardized tests than their public school peers. And according to the National Home Education Research Institute, home-school students score 15 to 30 percentile points higher.

"In public schools, they can only move as fast as the slowest child," Carter said. "If your child can learn faster, they don't necessarily teach any faster."

I take my hat off to people like this.

Now here’s the warning. The mother here is speaking from Midway, TX:

Downtown Midway, 2010

If it’s happening in Midway, where is it NOT happening?

By the way, while I was writing this I was listening to Scott Ritter speaking with a Polish Youtuber. The video is captioned “MOBILIZATION IN RUSSIA; ANNEXATION REFERENDUM IN UKRAINE; TRUE SIDE OF THE UN.” However, as I reached the end of this post here’s what Ritter was saying:

The UN system is corrupted by the presence of the United States. America, literally, is a curse to the world. I hate to say that, because I'm an American--I love my country and I love my people. But the fact of the matter is, as we are currently configured, we are a curse to the world. Everything we touch dies. We haven't done anything good in such a long time it's not even funny. It's actually depressing. We stand for nothing good--think about it! Every policy we support today we call "supporting democracy". We don't support democracy. We only support things that benefit us. We call it "supporting peace", but it's Orwellian, because every time we speak of supporting peace we're actually bombing and killing people. So the United States is a curse to the world, and so long as the United Nations remains under the dominant control of the United States the United Nations will never function as it was intended to do.

Well, I don't expect that all will agree with the entirety of what Ritter is saying. For my own part, I consider that the UN is functioning, by and large, as it was intended to do—as a globalist institution for propagating liberalism. Which is why I support abolishing the UN. And I doubt that I would see eye to eye with Ritter on what “the good” is that we should stand for.

Still, in light of the US government's programmatic Culture War on normality, perhaps more of us should be stepping back and considering what America stands for. We didn't get where we are today--the war of the elite against normals on all levels of culture and politics and law, throughout our institutions--overnight, or by accident. Home schooling is definitely a step in the right direction. It’s not a magic bullet. Like any other societal movement for the good, to succeed in transforming the nation it will take effort and constant maintenance and support. Blood, sweat, and tears.
