The Hand that Rocks the Cradle Rules the World »
Posted By btatman22 1 week, 6 days ago in Political OpinionEarly education is one of the hot topics around the liberal roundtable in the United States, both nationally and globally. The liberal elite are not only discussing ways of forcing children into school by the time they are four and younger, as evidenced by Bill SB122 D-Clark-Coleman in Michigan, but now are looking at zero to three years old early education as an extension of K-12 compulsory education. Their mantra is that babies start learning from day one...

Oh come on now.... You know those elites only have the best of intentions. What's wrong with a planet full of indoctrinated robotoids serving a small, centralized cadre of all-powerful masters? Maybe it'll be nice, don't ya think? You know... helping the environment, reducing the carbon, thinking globally, no more war, no more hunger, no more religion, no more literature, no more creative individuality, no more intellectual exploration, no more Einsteins, no moreDa Vincis, no more..... anything, really. Just pure, mindless comfort from now on. A perfect world.

Did you read in the article where the difference largely dissipates by the time the kids were in 2nd grade? We aren't talking about education vs. no education, we are just talking about forcing parents to release their children into the educational system at an earlier age.

I saw an amusing consequence of this with my nephews in Germany. Kids 6-7 years old were still toting baby bottles around to drink out of. It was considered perfectly acceptable in the kindergartens, and had worked its way up to the 1st and 2nd grades. -

Sometimes a moronic lack of nuanced thinking such as yours produces the most hilarious of ironies. The Floyd song you reference is precisely ABOUT the insidious nature of compulsory, central-state education that this article addresses. It is a "system" that is damaging enough when it begins at age 5 or so, and now we want our children delivered into the hands of the government at BIRTH?!?!???

You probably haven't noticed, duke, that the field of "education" really isn't anymore. It has become the field of indoctrination, the field of propaganda for the left. If they can get them from the newborn nursery, they can mold them into exact replicas of themselves. Yikes! Hope I am gone by then!

It goes horrifyingly deep. The indoctrination goal is a living, breathing monster. And truth be told, it is a creature that far transcends the false "liberal" vs. "conservative" dialectic foisted onto our common consciousness. It is pure evil.

The first six or seven years are when the child forms his mental functioning, his personality, his methodology for dealing with reality. These formative years are critical to his development. It is too important for relative strangers to inculcate their ideology and indoctrination.

When the government is doing the schooling (don't mistake schooling for education -- they are two separate concepts), it will necessarily condition the child to accept the superiority of the state.
The Jesuits once said, "Give us a child until he is six years old and we will have him for life"
Isabel Paterson in her 1943 book "The God of the Machine" had this to say about public (government-run) compulsory schools.
"Educational texts are necessarily selective, in subject matter, language, and point of view. Where teaching is conducted by private schools, there will be a considerable variation in different schools; the parents must judge what they want their children taught, by the curriculum offered. Then each must strive for objective truth.... Nowhere will there be any inducement to teach the "supremacy of the state" as a compulsory philosophy. But every politically controlled educational system will inculcate the doctrine of state supremacy sooner or later, whether as the divine right of kings, or the "will of the people" in "democracy." Once that doctrine has been accepted, it becomes an almost superhuman task to break the stranglehold of the political power over the life of the citizen. It has had his body, property, and mind in its clutches from infancy. An octopus would sooner release its prey.
"A tax-supported, compulsory educational system is the complete model of the totalitarian state." -

what the cons continue to fail to realize is that our world leans towards slow, moderate, progressive steps.
Reply
thats just how we are. its not an agenda per se, its just the way it is.
if the first conservatives had their way, we'd still be living in caves. and none of you cons would be able to put your stupidity on display on the internets if it weren't for moderate progression continually nudging us forward. -

The fate of humanity is in the hands of each one of us while upon this earth. The choices we make affects many like a whirlpool. It doesn't matter what kind of home you were raised in. There have been bad people who've come from good homes and visa versa. YOU ultimately decide how you want to live your life.
Reply
But keep in mind that the fate of humanity as a whole is in the hands of God. He is the creater, the supreme ruler and the lover of each and every one of us. He gave us the power to choose. So choose wisely... -

More Conservative clap-trap.

The bill introduced does not say 4 years, it says 5 years, which is the standard for most states. The 'zero-to-five' proposals are not about seizing babies, it's about supporting programs that give parents the tools they need to take advantage of the early years, not rob them of their childhoods.
Evidence clearly indicates that language skills begin within the first few months of life, and multi-linguality is best achieved very early on.
Christ on toast, folks! It's not about any sort of 'indoctrination', it's about giving children the best chance at succeeding.
You wanna home-school your kids? Be my guest. You limit them to your particular paradigm, which is not a fully-functional mind. I don't home-school my kids for that reason. I want my sons to be able to reason their opinions, even if we disagree (which we have on many occasions).
The Right continually asserts that the Left wants to 'indoctrinate' children into their particular way of thinking. I think nothing could be further from the truth. I can only speak from my own experience, but I don't operate from dogma, nor do any of my friends. We operate from knowledge and reason. Personally, I think critical thinking is the greatest skill we as parents can impart to our children--they have to know why they form their opinions, not parrot something a parent-figure told them to think.-

That is an error. Currently in Michigan the mandatory age for reporting to school is five turning six by December 1st. Under new legislation in Michigan, it will roll it back a year and these children will be required, regardless of the parents input into whether their child is ready for school or not to report by the age of four turning five by December 1st. So they are requiring compulsory education a year earlier and this is in line with early education. They cannot implement compulsory education at birth right away because then their scheme would be too obvious. It is the boiling frog analogy. Your comment is erroneous please do your research if you are going to analyze current public policy.

Exactly.

As USUAL, this article - like almost all of the 'articles' posted by the right-wingers - is an OPINION piece. It twists the facts to make them sound 'bad' in order to fit their agenda of hating anything and everything that is not 'conservative' or Republican.
Just the same continual junk from the hate-mongering, fear-mongering right-wing extremists. -

Why do conservatives fear, mistrust and hate education? Is it because it'll give you the tools to form intelligent opinions based on knowledge? Oppressors want the populace to be uneducated so they can be easily led and controlled.

And lets not forget, that President Obama has recently brought up the idea to extend school to an extra 3 hours.

It is no wonder the left is against school vouchers. They claim to be pro choice, that is, unless it comes to education (and about a hundred other aspects). Oh, you have choice. You can still send your kid to private school (for now), but you have to pay for it, and even though you pay for your kid to go to private school, you are still taxed to pay for public education.
Speaking of the First Congress of Bolsheviks...Federal funding of education is unconstitutional. This is not found in the Constitution probably for fear of national indoctrination. Education is suppose to be funded at the local and state levels. National education is actually a reflection of the 10th pillar of Communism, "Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc."
Why are we fighting over seas? Supposedly, we are suppose to be defending freedom and spreading Democracy, yet at the same time we are voluntarily eroding our own. -
