The question:
"Can Liberty Survive in American Public Education?"
My answer, of which I'm confident:
No.
Not as the "public education" system is currently constructed and operating.
But then... that's "a part of the plan", to wit:
Antonio Gramsci
The Frankfurt School
Herbert Marcuse ("critical theory").
The only way the public school system can "get back, get back, get back to where it once belonged" is to REMOVE at least 70% (or more) of the faculty and administrators, and rebuild it from the bottom up.
But I don't see that happening any time soon.
As Reagan warned:
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."
The entire purpose and mission of the public school system as it exists today, is to NOT "pass freedom on".
How much longer until the "extinction" sets in...?
