The newly elected President is trying to ram-rod as much legislation, about as many things as possible, as quickly as he can.
In less than two months, he has proposed, passed, pitched and promised so many billions in bailouts, one would think, what’s left, and what’s next? Oops almost forgot, education.
Yesterday came the speech from the president about large amounts of money to be poured into so-called education. This is the all-time, old time standby pitch for all politicians. Their safety-net pitch, the underlying notion, we can always get away with talking more money for education. It’s across the board. Republicans and Democrats, hang together when it comes to voting for more and more money to be extracted from the citizens for tax supported schooling.
Here in the state of Georgia, over half the tax monies collected, finances schooling, according to the budget planning board. That is billions of dollars.
As far back as I can recall, politicians have given fiery speeches to stir the emotions for more money for schools. It was back in the thirties during the Great Depression, when Eugene Talmadge ran for Governor in Georgia, making speeches for school reform and more money for teachers and textbooks. As soon as he was elected, money was appropriated for taxpayers to fund textbooks. And that was just for starters.
Here we are seventy-five plus years later and the newly elected president gave a speech yesterday, talking about the need for education reform, more money needed for students, classrooms and teachers. Spoke about the decline in education here in the United States compared to other countries. He repeatedly spoke about the dropout rate. And he spoke about how we needed to prepare children for kindergarten, and then prepare them for college.
All the buzz words were used, singing and preaching the same line I heard seventy-five years ago. Schools crumbling, we need better teachers, reform, more pay, better equipped classrooms, and more buildings. Conveying the line, the decline in the school system is a prescription for the economic decline.
It feeds into the comfort zone for all politicians on all levels in all the states to cry for more money for so-called education.
It seems the majority of Americans have been so propagandized for so many years into believing more money is going to “fix” the problem of education in this country. Its accepted without a whimper of opposition.
The reality is, we do not have a system of education, but a system of indoctrination, into socialism. The billions upon billions collected from Americans via a system of legal plunder to educate children, always have the same results. The new president spoke about yesterday: prescription for economic decline, dropouts, crumbling, mediocrity and etc. He presented a very disturbing picture of the present school situation, but with the same old tune of what it will take to fix it – more money.
It is not a system of education, but a system of legal plunder {thievery} to indoctrinate via schooling into the basic tenets of socialism. They are socialist schools, therefore how can one expect anything other than socialism be taught?
The very foundation of socialism is opposition to ownership of private property. Whether it’s the brand name of fascism, communism, or any other brand name. Because individual freedom is commensurate with private ownership of property, the antithesis of socialism, it is ludicrous to think the principles upon which this country was founded are being taught in the tax-supported school system. A socialist school is not going to teach the principles of the free-market, capitalistic system.
The Great French Economist, author and Statesman, Fredrich Bastiat wrote:”Legal Plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways, hence, there are an infinite number of plans for organizing it: Tariffs, protection, bonuses, subsidies, incentives, the progressive income tax, free education, the right to employment, the right to profit, the right to wages, the right to relief, the right to tools of production, interest free credit, etc., etc. And it is the aggregate of all these plans, in respect to what they have in common, legal plunder that goes under the name of socialism.”
These great words of wisdom were written immediately following the French Revolution 1848 – over one hundred years ago, and just as true today as they were then. This is an expression of the immorality of legal plunder, i.e. system of stealing.
We are now past four generations of socialized schools, therefore, “the prescription for economic decline,” can be traced back to the, so called “public-school” system. The dropout rate, the crime rate, the illiteracy rate, the meritocracy rate will not improve with more money. It is obvious more money for schools only exacerbates the economic decline, and has been a large contributing factor to the current crisis in this country. And a root cause.
Education should be in the free-market place. How long are we going to keep our heads in the sand and believe what the politicians cry, like a mantra, “more money for better schools?” How long are we going to refuse to face the fact socialism are going to be taught in a socialistic system?
You cannot “make a silk purse out of a sowers ear!!!!” Nor can one expect a graduate of the current school system to understand the self-responsibility of freedom, the morality of the free-market, nor the wrongness of taking from the haves to give to the have nots.
We are saturated around the clock with news media, pundits and politicians explaining to us their version of why this economy, and a former of way of life in this country is crumbling. There are many different versions of the, “cause.” I don’t hear anyone suggesting we are in this sad state of affairs because we were taught it in the very expensive nation-wide school system. Only cries for more funding to keep promoting it. To keep indoctrinating the millions of school children, under the guise of, “free education.”
The answer to our survival and revival will not be found, in larger school buildings, better teachers, more nutritional lunch programs, higher salaries, election of a new school board, better trained bus drivers, different textbooks, test scores, Sports programs, school band equipment, nor any of the long list of things we hear repeatedly, year in and year out. The root cause lies in the system of thievery upon which it is all based.
