How the Left Used Public Education to Transform American Culture

America was still in its infancy as a nation when two opposing cultures began to clash.  One of these cultures—the dominant culture at the time—acknowledged God as the ultimate authority.  The other viewed man as sovereign.  For 237 years these two cultures have vied for the soul of America.   It has taken a long time, but the man-as-god crowd is finally winning the battle.  It’s most effective weapon has been public education.  Using the public schools to circumvent parents and to subvert the church was a stroke of genius on the part of secular humanists—albeit evil genius.them.

Conservative columnist Thomas Sowell once wrote: “If every parent in America knew what was really going on in the public schools, there would be a revolution.”  I am sure there was a time when Dr. Sowell’s pronouncement was accurate, but that time—unfortunately—has past.  The parents who might have revolted in years past over the leftwing, anti-Christian doctrine of public education are now public school graduates themselves.  For them, questioning public education is to question the very worldview they internalized during their twelve years in the system.  Public school alumni may question the Bible, big business, wealth, hard work, and the values of their grandparents but they are not going to question themselves.  To do so is to risk pulling the rug out from under the leftwing house of cards it took them twelve years to build.

Public school alumni have been conditioned to think of tragedies like Columbine and Sandy Hook as a normal part of life.  They have no understanding of how or why mass murders of young school children came to be normal nor do they have a worldview that might suggest they are part of the problem.  Why should they?  They spent twelve years in a system that valued self-esteem over self-discipline, inclusion over achievement, and conformance questioning.  If you are a conservative or Christian, stop complaining about the public schools and start demanding your rights as a taxpayer.
