The New Three R’s: Racism, Reproduction and Recycling

 

George Will says that “consciousness-raising” is the politically correct term for “propaganda” in the progressive mind and with funding from the federal government they are probably bringing this to a school near you.

 

Schools push a curriculum of propaganda

Take the time to read this thing.  What do you think of teachers telling school children that they have insufficient guilt about having white skin?  How does such a program fit with the morons who believe requiring a child to learn might damage the kid’s self esteem?

 

Highlights:

 

Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction in collaboration with the federal program VISTA [Volunteers in Service to America but the “volunteers” are paid] urged white students to wear white wristbands “as a reminder about your privilege, and as a personal commitment to explain why you wear the wristband.”

 

A flyer distributed at a DPI-VISTA training class urged whites to “put a note on your mirror or computer screen as a reminder to think about privilege,” to “make a daily list of the ways privilege played out” and to conduct an “internal dialogue” asking questions such as “How do I make myself comfortable with privilege?” and “What am I doing today to undo my privilege?”

 

After criticism erupted, the DPI dishonestly claimed that the wristbands were a hoax perpetrated by conservatives. But the flyer DPI used explicitly advocated the wristbands and Wisconsin’s taxpayer-funded indoctrination continues, funded by more than Wisconsin taxpayers.

 

Today, the school systems in 20 states employ more non-teachers than teachers.  Between 1950 and 2009, while the number of K-12 students increased 96 percent, full-time-equivalent school employees increased 386 percent.  The number of teachers increased 252 percent, but the number of bureaucrats — including consciousness-raising sensitivity enforcers and other non-teachers — increased 702 percent.  States could have saved more than $24 billion annually if non-teaching staff had grown only as fast as student enrollment.  Americans wonder why their schools have done so little to improve reading, math and science scores.

 

President Reagan said: “If you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever.  But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you’re liable to be given more money to do it with.”

 

N and I often wonder why diversity Nazis never demand that all-black public housing include a proportionate share of white folks and other races.  Are all-black colleges sufficiently diverse?  How about black caucuses?
