The Wedge Strategy For A Return to the Dark Ages

Quote from gblnking:

My ex-father-in-law was a man who followed people of the likes of Art Bell. He would buy the conspiracy magazines from the grocery check out lines and read them like they were the bible. We literally argued for hours about his belief that the moon landing was a government hoax just to fool the American public into believing that we were ahead of the Russians in science. He was a very charismatic man and would come up with these elaborate arguments and present a slew of “scientists and scientific evidence” to back him up. He very much believes that the world is controlled by a secret society and again he’ll back it up with plenty of theories and people to back up his arguments. Should these “theories” be debated in our public high schools? How about if along with math, English, history, and science we add the Devinci code as a core curriculum class.

These types of theories make for great literature and should be debated. But debate them in college where young minds have a bit more maturity (or at least we hope hey have) and can weed through the absolutely ridiculous to the more plausible alternative scientific idea’s. Leave high school for building foundations.

agreed but who gets to the build the foundation is critical.

Things that were part of my education growing up in public schools in new york and Ct have been replaced by what I consider to be pure social engineering bullshit.

I am by no means an expert on the educational system countrywide. But I do thoroughly go through my daughter’s homework every night. This semester her classes are Calculus, (Math) Clinical writing, (English. Actually it’s called Langue Arts now) Geography: Asia. Biology II. Political Science. (Social Studies) Clinical Psychiatry. And then throw in Coir and Self-Defense for physical education. Out of all of this nowhere are there religious studies, no ID theory, and no evolution theory. In fact through her freshman, sophomore, and into her junior year there has never been mentioned Evolution or creationism. Maybe it’s because this particular school district focuses mainly on college prep that the curriculum seems to be so clinical vs. theoretical.
