The Kitchen Militia --
The Renewed Line of Defense for Education
Tom DeWeese
The
alarm sounds throughout the countryside. As the alert is heard, one by
one, two by two, the patriots respond. They are a loosely organized,
ragtag band, without official leaders or official orders. Some gather
in small groups, others work alone. But, armed with an overpowering
idea of truth and an urgency to protect their children, they are
determined to expose and drive back their foe. |

Critical Race Theory: What It Is
and How to Fight It
Christopher F. Rufo – Imprimis,
Hillsdale College
Critical
race theory is fast becoming America's new institutional orthodoxy. Yet
most Americans have never heard of it – and of those who have, many
don't understand it. It's time for this to change. We need to know what
it is so we can know how to fight it. In explaining critical race
theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism. |

1619
Project -- The Left’s Final Assault on America
Scot Faulkner
The
1619 premise is: “Our democracy’s founding ideals were false when they
were written.” Everything that happened in American history flows from
the “original sin” of slavery. Every concept, document and institution
that shapes and guides America was actually designed to promote slavery
and therefore must be eradicated to atone for centuries of racial
oppression... To succeed, the 1619 Project must ignore mountains of
facts and fabricate mountains of lies. |

How Colleges Are Ripping Off a
Generation of
Ill-Prepared Students
Walter Williams
Earlier
this month, the 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress, aka
the nation’s “report card,” was released. It’s not a pretty story. It’s
grossly dishonest for the education establishment and politicians to
boast about unprecedented graduation rates when the high school
diplomas, for the most part, do not represent academic achievement. At
best, they certify attendance. Fraudulent high school diplomas aren’t
the worst part of the fraud. Some of the greatest fraud occurs at the
higher education levels -- colleges and universities. |

Dem Socialists Pushing to
Infiltrate Schools Because
'They Can't Win in the Battle of Ideas'
Radio
host Michael Knowles said on "Fox & Friends" that Democratic
Socialists are urging Socialists to become teachers because they can't
win a "fair fight." A pamphlet by the Young Democratic Socialists of
America (YDSA), in conjunction with the Democratic Socialist Labor
Commission, outlines a push for socialists to "take jobs as teachers"
as a way to move teachers unions "in a more militant and democratic
direction."

How A Generation Lost Its Common
Culture
Patrick Deneen, Ph.D.
My
students are know-nothings. They are exceedingly nice, pleasant,
trustworthy, mostly honest, well-intentioned, and utterly decent. But
their brains are largely empty, devoid of any substantial knowledge
that might be the fruits of an education in an inheritance and a gift
of a previous generation. They are the culmination of western
civilization, a civilization that has forgotten nearly everything about
itself, and as a result, has achieved near-perfect indifference to its
own culture. |

K-12: The Schools You Deserve
Bruce Deitrick Price
Thomas
Jefferson declared: “The government you elect is the government you
deserve.” Wouldn’t the same go for a school system? If you select it,
you must deserve it. Plato said an early version of what would later be
attributed to Edmund Burke: “The penalty good men pay for indifference
to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” Albert Einstein put it
this way: “The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or
encourage evil than from those who actually commit it.” In education,
we have a startling amount of tolerating and encouraging. |

Can Our Colleges Be Saved?
Should There Be National College Exit Tests?
Victor Davis Hanson
The
public is steadily losing confidence in undergraduate education, given
that we hear constantly about how poorly educated are today's graduates
and how few well-paying jobs await them. The cost of college is a
national scandal. Collective student loan debt in America is about $1.2
trillion. Campus political correctness is now daily news. How could
higher education be held accountable and thereby be reformed? |

History, American Democracy, and the
AP Test Controversy
Wilfred M. McClay
The
chief purpose of a high school education in American history is as a
rite of civic membership, an act of inculcation and formation, a way in
which the young are introduced to the fullness of their political and
cultural inheritance as Americans, enabling them to become literate and
conversant in its many features, and to appropriate fully all that it
has to offer them, both its privileges and its burdens. |

I'm a liberal professor, and my

Edward Schlosser
The
student-teacher dynamic has been reenvisioned along a line that's
simultaneously consumerist and hyper-protective, giving each and every
student the ability to claim Grievous Harm in nearly any circumstance,
after any affront, and a teacher's formal ability to respond to these
claims is limited at best. |

A. Dru Kristenev
Every

teacher such as Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, suggests that
taking children under the wing of government for fulltime supervision
is a good idea, hackles should rise. There is only one reason to
oversee education as a never-ending training camp: to pattern students’
thinking according to approved government standards, which means
compulsory assimilation. |

'Why Johnny [Still] Can't Read'
The Systemic Dumbing-Down of America
Mark Alexander
In 1955, TIME
magazine published a cover story, "Why Johnny Can't Read," an early
indictment of post-war centralized government education institutions,
which were graduating students who couldn't make the grade... Arguably,
federal government diktats regulating state and local government
schools have resulted in a progressive and systemic dumbing-down of
generations of young Americans. Indeed, Johnny still can't read. |

John Dewey: Bosom Serpent of
American Education
Kelly O'Connell
In
considering modern liberal plagues, are there any worse than America’s
debased “free” education system? John Dewey, patron saint of American
education, ruined our school curriculum while adamantly rejecting
religion yet touting of secular humanism. The American education system
is built from a model designed by Dewey, one which rejected the
classics, any emphasis on rhetoric and logic, or rote memorization. |

Department of Education:
Catholic Schools Beat Public Schools
Terry Jeffrey
When

Catholic schools thrashed public schools. It wasn't close. |

"Girlie
Man" Culture of Government Schools
Sartre
The notion that gender egalitarianism is
central to the education process has caused dire consequences to
Western Civilization. If proponents really sought political, social and
economic equality between the genders, one might examine their claims
with a sense of impartiality. However, the record of a feminized
construct clearly demonstrates that equivalence is not their intention. |

What's Happened to Public School
Curriculum?
Phyllis Schafly
The
most widely used history textbook in U.S. public schools is “A People's
History of the United States”. This history textbook is a very leftwing

propaganda. It is based on the thesis that America is not a republic
but an empire controlled by a few white men. |
