Never forget the ambition and frenzy of the Communist International circa 1930. Lenin and Stalin wanted control of the planet. In some countries, they could aim for a military coup. But in any country, they could try to take over the weak, undefended targets such as the press and education.
At the same time that the Communists were starving 5+ million people to death in the Ukraine, their sympathizers were discarding phonics and imposing Whole Word in US Schools. Point is, the dysfunction in K-12 today is not an accident. It’s exactly what you would expect if subversives took over. Indeed, this was certified in 1983 when the Nation at Risk report said that our public schools were in effect the act of a hostile enemy nation.
My reason in saying all this is that people spend a lot of time debating why our schools are a mess. I’m sorry but it’s not a mystery. Please see this new article on American Thinker.
