"This Race Is Close Only Because the Public Education Indoctrination Mill Has Succeeded" (Stephen Kruiser, PJ Media)
From the article -- The United States of America should not be on the precipice that it is now, with freedom-loving citizens terrified of being tossed into the abyss by this election. In a sane world, Kamala Harris wouldn't have made it out of San Francisco, let alone this close to the presidency. Now we're hoping for the best amid all this craziness....If we get lucky and Trump returns to the Oval Office, Republicans really need to move the school choice issue up higher on the priorities list, or they'll find themselves in this precarious existential threat position in every presidential election. It does get moved to the front burner once in a while — Trump has often spoken strongly in favor of it — but it too often gets moved to a back burner when there are so many problems with national security and the economy.
Again, Republicans won't be in much of a position to address issues like national security and the economy if we keep spending egregious amounts of taxpayer money to crank out good little Dem automatons. Obviously, the well-indoctrinated K-12 kids who go on to college have the ripest minds for the final corruption by tenured professors who are ideologically about 10 miles to the left of Karl Marx.
* "What’s behind the Explosion of Churches Starting Christian Schools?" (Sarah Holliday, Washington Stand)
From the article -- Part of this wake-up call, Backholm went on to say, is also because the church is starting to see “the consequences of what happens [when] we allow pagans to be the leaders and the disciples of all of those hours.” Perkins added, “When pagans are teaching and training” children in the education system, “you get pagans” as a result. “That’s what happens,” he contended. “We send our kids off to Babylon, and we wonder why they come back as Babylonians.” But churches are waking up to this reality and “increasingly … stepping up to take charge,” Backholm said, which is largely fueling the growth in Christian schools.
Perkins pointed out that the efforts across the country to promote school choice are also playing a role. Backholm agreed, noting how Americans have noticed “there are partisan differences in the way states are being led,” especially regarding the education system. There are now “dozens of states [that] have recognized that we want parents to be the guardians and the leaders and the shapers of their children’s education,” which in many cases has led to the “decision that we should not force children to be placed in a school that teaches only secularism.”
Ultimately, Backholm emphasized, “All schools teach morals. All schools teach a worldview. All schools teach some form of functional religion.” In recent history, he noted, there’s been “this idea … that the government schools, the secularism of the government school, is the only religion that should be taught.”
* "Subcontracting Our Minds" (Timothy Burns, Public Discourse)
From the article -- As Rousseau put it, for the inhabitant of bourgeois society, it is necessary “to be or to seem.” AI will hand you the means to seem—at least so long as you are delivering the speech. It will deprive you of the ability to be...
AI will surely also further the path toward soulless homogeneity that characterizes so much of the modern world, the drift toward what James Kunstler has called “the geography of nowhere.” We will experience the rapid loss of the charming particulars that have hitherto been found in speeches drawn from the speakers’ own individual experiences and the admiration of how those experiences have been artfully crafted into a speech. AI will offer collections of cylinders for a music-box mind.
* "What’s Behind Kamala Harris’ Connection To A Mass Murdering Cult Leader?" (Paul Siewers, Federalist)
From the article -- In the 1970s, support from Democrat leaders enabled Jones to operate his abusive cult. Harris’ ex-boyfriend Brown, a former California Assembly speaker and San Francisco mayor, reportedly attended Jones’ Peoples Temple several dozen times and praised Jones liberally. San Francisco Mayor George Moscone appointed Jones chair of the city Housing Authority Commission.
LGBTQ icon Harvey Milk spoke often at Jones’ congregation, saying he found there “a sense of being … I can never leave.” Brown introduced Jones at a testimonial dinner positively as “a combination of Martin King, Angela Davis, Albert Einstein … Chairman Mao.” Brown’s flippancy about Mao, likely the greatest mass-killing leader of history, was more chilling given Jones’ finale, the greatest cluster of forced civilian deaths of Americans prior to 9/11.
Until then, with Jones as an ally Brown spearheaded legalizing homosexuality in California, building his political clout in what became ground zero of the new American civil religion, now also known as “wokeness.” The new quasi-religious awokening from the start sought to override the “laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” cited in the Declaration of Independence.
Brown disavowed Jones, but only after the tragedy at Jonestown. Harris never disavowed Brown...
* "Preventable Tragedies: Why De-transitioners Are Suing Doctors: As many doctors are dangerously pushing gender-transition drugs and surgeries, de-transitioners are speaking out about the harms." (Grant Atkinson, ADF)
From the article -- Broadly speaking, de-transitioners are individuals who have chosen to stop receiving dangerous transition drugs or pursuing other body-altering procedures that doctors said would resolve their mental health struggles or discomfort with their sex. De-transitioners have typically come to embrace their biological sex and no longer wish to identify inconsistently with it.
Tragically, some transition efforts are irreversible. When a doctor removes a young woman’s healthy breasts, for example, she will never be able to nurse her children. And prescribing dangerous puberty-blocking drugs can cause irreversible damage on a child’s brain development and even affect a young woman’s ability to later conceive. Health-care professionals who tell parents and young people that these drugs and procedures are “safe and reversible” are lying.
Doctors who push their patients to undergo these dangerous “gender transition” efforts fail to follow the basic medical dictate to “do no harm.”
