How the Left Colonizes Education
By Christopher Chantrill

I was with a bunch of lefties over the weekend, and would you believe, the big problem in education is the colonialist curriculum. So after the lefties had all tut-tutted about how even now in Africa the educational curriculum was still painfully colonialist, I had to step in.

Here’s what’s worrying me, I said. It’s the leftification of education.

Dead silence.

Because if you are a lefty you have never thought, not for a moment, that the left runs education from stem to stern in the western world. And that is a monstrous injustice.

Now of course, I could have gone in for the kill, and said that the left’s ruthless and merciless domination of education is the great crime of the last century and shaping up to become the great crime of the millennium. But I didn’t. Because, after all, I was among friends.

But there is this, from David Brooks, who just put out a piece in the New York Times about the implacable “Rich White Civil War” featuring, on the left, Progressive Activists and, on the right, Devoted Conservatives. Yes, it’s just like the good old days of Folger’s Coffee. The big conflict in U.S. politics are between the two “richest kinds:” Rich liberals, that in Brooks’ study are called Progressive Activists, and rich conservatives, or Devoted Conservatives.

----------------------------------
As Britain approached 1900, the Fabian Socialists made revolutionary
change in the British education system their number one priority in
order to alter the social structure of that nation/state.
The impact this has had on British Culture/Society is beyond obvious
to anyone w/a brain.

- Mandate that all children get a state-approved education
- Set up state-funded schools with "free" education to price out private competition
- Pay for that "free" education with property taxes to further suck out money that might go to private competing schools
- Let labor unions infiltrate and hijack the state-funded schools so that the governments and the taxpayers lose control over them
- Scream bloody murder when called out on it and portray the union hacks as underpaid, underappreciated saints

Did I miss anything?

Ah, yes:
- Accuse competitors who are still around (say, for instance, the Catholics) of heinous crimes like pedophilia
