WHO ARE THE 13 PERCENTERS THAT ARE WILLFULLY DESTROYING THE MINDS OF AMERICAN CHILDREN?
September 1, 2014
The feds set the course, undergirded by state government & various education factions, commandeered with bribes, threats & theft, destroyed the once proud institution of public education. What happened and continues to happen to the once vaunted public school system? Greed, transitioning to power, money and destruction. Citizens stood and are standing by helplessly allowing full-blown corruption in the P.S. system to mushroom, ignoring America’s Founding Principles.
Former Times Record editor Jack Moseley, on another subject, stated and is appropriate here, “it’s a lot of purty”, referring to the P.S. infrastructure, an apt description of the modern day public school systems, producing little academic achievements.
Why would former respected public education leaders give up Home-Rule and education leaders today continue on the academic road to destruction, when they/we are only 13% away from total academic freedom?
John Dewey’s teachings began it all by his introduction of his progressive ideas on education, i.e. political correctness, revisionism, omission and deletion affecting core subjects, phonics, the Classics, classroom exercises that have nothing to do with intellectual discourse, dress codes, manners, body art, piercings, all resulting in a cultural decay of Western Civilization, and replaced by 3rd World hordes. Why trade down? Obama’s Common Core curriculum was preceded by Bill Clinton’s Goals 2,000 and George W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind, collectively have ceded total control of public education to the federal government. Today we can thank Gov. Mike Beebe & the Ark. State Legislature for the continuance of our educational meltdown.
In the turnkey operation for academic greed, destruction and cowardice, who are the present day traitorous players? Begin with President Barack Hussein Obama, the sitting U.S. Congress, the faux Dept. of Education, sitting State Governors and Legislators and the weakest & the most disappointing of the cabal are the public school teachers who have willfully betrayed the parents and children for their piece of silver. Public school teachers, under the guidance and threat of Superintendents, fail to offer any resistance from the government takeover. Of course, teachers are a significant part of government. The vehicles for the teacher betrayal are/were the U.S. Dept. of Education, teachers’ unions, e.g. the N.E. A., the A.E.A. and non-government organizations (NGO’s). Teachers are “married” to their respective school superintendents who are ever compliant with federal edicts, offering no resistance and are the biggest traitors to our educational system. I introduce you to Ft. Smith School Superintendent Dr. Benny Gooden as an example. Gooden boldly pontificated “we’ll take all we can get”, referring to illegal Mexicans and OTM’s who were/are invading en masse the F.S. Public School System, proving he had no qualms about absconding taxpayers’ money by force to redistribute to illegal alien residents in Fort Smith. Gooden has never publicly commented pertaining to the 20-30 languages spoken by legal & illegal foreign nationals in the system. Braggadocio Gooden recently stated in the Times Record how many tens of thousands of “free meals” the citizens, i.e. taxpayers, provided to the illegal nesters and American citizen deadbeats. All accomplished by forced redistribution. (How many would willingly give up their paychecks to feed illegal foreign invaders or other deadbeats?)
The Holy Grail for the education community is the perpetual drumbeat for More Funding……For the Children” & “giving back” & all that nonsense. Gooden further describes the $150 million F.S. public school budget as “normal” and the Times Record refers to the budget as “routine”. There is nothing normal or routine about the bloated, obscene budget. Gooden then has the temerity to say that the districts’ salaries account for 79% of the yearly Ft. Smith budget–a fat cow. How many teachers, non-teachers, & non-essentials are wrapped up in the fat cow? E.g. assistant superintendents, deputy superintendents, ad infinitum.
Teachers, led by their respective school superintendents and unions are really nothing more than an obedient collection of sycophants devoid of any interchange of new ideas. Put another way, superintendents direct the symphony of planned failure.
School boards serve no purpose aside from rubber stamping the activities of government schools.
Public school students are devoid of higher level reasoning skills and leave school unable to read and write and certainly no foundation for the objective thought processes and the ability to think independently.
Statistics pertaining to funding sources for public schools were in the T.R. 8/26/14.
If education was the genuine goal of the Ark. public school system, it would be a relatively simple matter to regain home-rule from the divisive, corrupt federal government.
Point in fact: Arkansas’ funding equation. The Feds originally bought public education for a 3% funding share—disgusting. To whit—51% of funding presently comes from the state, 36% from local sources, and now, from the original 3% buyout to the present 13% feds claim control over every facet of public education, allowing Marxist philosophy to permeate all the school systems in the nation, essentially Xing out the parents from the public educational equation.
What citizens receive in turn is mass mental destruction by enslaving kids’ minds resulting in non-compos mentis.
For a pittance of 13% that comes from the Fed, actually it comes from the beleaguered taxpayers ( the Fed owns nothing) as does the full 100% and productive citizens allow the counterfeit education cabal to steal from us in broad daylight allowing them to short circuit American children’s minds through phony teachings, propagandizing, and indoctrinating.
Financially, never in the history of man has so much been done for the children in the name of education and never have they been in more peril—all by design.
As former Dallas Cowboy & Monday night football commentator “Dandy” Don Meredith fondly sang at the end of each broadcast, “the party is over”.
Home-rule is in our grasp if only we had an understanding electorate on how dire public education circumstances are and a governor & state legislature that would cease grasping for the crumbs of federal funding.
Question: With the present state of education affairs, why would any citizen vote for incumbency? OBSERVE!
