Home School your children if at all possible. If you can't swing it yourself, get with other local parents. You'll have no problem finding others who are fed up with the left wing indoctrination going on in taxpayer funded public schools. Cooperate voluntarily to set up a group of like minded parents who can help each other with child care, teaching, etc.

    Why not just dismantle/reform google if they are providing biased search results?

    His recommendation is immediately actionable without violence. Reforming the system will take ages even if it is possible peacefully, so interim steps will be necessary.

      Your reading comprehension leaves something to be desired. I wasn't advocating violence and neither was the person advocating home schooling.

      The fact however, is that in a democracy unless you can build a coalition of people and entities bigger than your opposition - your only method of peacefully bypassing something you find disagreeable is to opt out of the system. Your only option to "reform" something you find disagreeable is to build a significantly more powerful movement than the thing you want reformed. It needs not just grassroots support but institutional support - and on a level higher than the grassroots/institutional support of the thing you want reformed. In a system where a street walking crackhead has the same say over how the government runs as a father of 6 that operates 2 businesses - that's simply not realistic.

      Common core is a Federal Mandate: https://files.catbox.moe/gj8qac.png and part of it's core design goals were to end "White Privilege". While home schooled children still have to pass tests made to common core standards - at the least agitprop can be taught as such by the parent instead of mislabeled as truth.

      it looks like the new tactic to censor on saidit is accuse someone of violence

      The curriculum is not something teachers or parents get to decide

      [–]Klondike 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (9 children)

      And the curriculum doesn't include any indoctrination, so what's the problem?

      [–]PrisonMike 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

      Curriculum not covering the Tulsa race massacre is an accident?

      [–]Klondike 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

      Possibly? Not sure what you are getting at.

      [–]PrisonMike 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

      Just that humans are not perfect and humans are in charge of curriculum. Someone or some group has to decide what is and isn’t taught. They may be doing their best but objectivity is not possible.

      [–]Klondike 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

      Sure, but is that the same as indoctrination?

      [–]JeanValjean 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      Cede them? They are long gone already. I agree the system needs to be fixed but I don't agree the state is in a position to be the most effective educator.

      [–]JulienMayfair 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      The system needs to be fixed.

      A big part of the problem is college Education Departments where future teachers get trained. They are responsible for much of the worst trends in American public education. There's a book called The Graves of Academe by Richard Mitchell that details the rise of Education Departments and their pernicious effects.

      The wife of a friend of mine recently completed a degree from one of these programs, and she's become totally indoctrinated.

      "Help, my children are being exposed to children from other socioeconomic classes and races--and even becoming FRIENDS with such people! Can you imagine--and learning to think critically on their own instead of following the words of Dear Leader Trump; they are being INDOCTRINATED!!! Better to completely insulate them from reality and homeschool them, so they only meet their own family and don't need to worry themselves about the existence of society"

      Pffft

      [–]flugegeheimen 11 insightful - 3 fun11 insightful - 2 fun12 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

      and even becoming FRIENDS with such people!

      Yeah, because being taught that your skin color automatically makes you racist with ez mode in life totally supposed to make you friends with "children from other socioeconomic classes and races".

      and learning to think critically on their own

      I think cats don't lick their balls as vigorously as woketards autofellate themselves in comments.

      The funny thing is nothing really changes, 40 years ago morons would screech hysterically because someone would be against prayer in schools, now they screech hysterically because someone is against leftist degeneracy in schools. Labels change on the surface, morons still think that they have the sacred right to brainwash someone else's kids.

      [–]Klondike 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      "Brainwashing"? 🤔🤔🤔

      [–]Klondike 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      wat

      [–][deleted] 9 insightful - 3 fun9 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 3 fun -  (18 children)

      the poor and minorities especially shouldn't be indoctrinated with this sjw shit

      [–]Klondike 3 insightful - 4 fun3 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 4 fun -  (17 children)

      And what shit is that, exactly? "Don't throw around the n-word like your grandpa does"?

      [–][deleted] 7 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 3 fun -  (16 children)

      that is one, yeah no one should use that word or everyone should, pick one. But more importantly it's the sjw shit in general, do you not know what that is.

      [–]Klondike 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (15 children)

      I guess I don't. I went to school and none of the teachers or administration resembled the frothing tumblrians. So I'm curious what you think is being taught at schools that would be considered sjw.

      [–]Wahwah 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (13 children)

      Good for you, but is it necessarily the case even today?

      [–]Klondike 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (12 children)

      Yes. Try talking to some teachers.

      [–]Wahwah 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (11 children)

      Those 'teachers' who were caught being disruptive on behalf of BLM do not seem to be quite impartial stewards of knowledge.

      [–]Klondike 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

      Sounds like fake news.

      And there's a difference between being an sjw and thinking police shouldn't be allowed to murder people.

      [–]Wahwah 2 insightful - 5 fun2 insightful - 4 fun3 insightful - 5 fun -  (9 children)

      Lol sure.

      I am very pro-police and heavily anti-marxist and commies. I so wish McCarthyism was back, riding through the law enforcement and military. For the sake of civilisation we hold dear.

      Those who undermine democracy using its liberties do not deserve it. ;)

      [–]Wahwah 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (14 children)

      Help, my children are being exposed to children from other socioeconomic classes and races

      IMO, the left is obsessed with otherisation and tribal identities.

      [–]Klondike 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (13 children)

      The right is about setting up in groups and out groups. The left simply points this out.

      [–]Cass 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

      Isn't the left who claims that if you are color blind you're racist?

      [–]Klondike 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      The right has established race as an in-group/out-group criterion, and then try to pretend it's actually not (ie "colorblindness"). So again, it's simply pointing this out.

      [–]Wahwah 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

      What?

      [–]Klondike 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

      The right is obsessed with otherisation and tribal identities.

      The left is obsessed with pointing out that the right is doing that.

      [–]Wahwah 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

      XD. I thought that was the other way around. But okay, indoctrination camps are potent.

      [–]Klondike 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

      You ever see anyone wearing Biden hats or hanging huge Biden flags with campaign slogans off the side of their house?

      Didn't think so.

      The right has taken identity politics all the way to cult status.

      [–]Wahwah 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

      Well, during Obama's election that was the case. Joe is not worth supporting people know that. That's not identity politics, identity politics is when people identify with their immutable personal identities. But you know that already and deliberately misidentifying things. The Trump cult exists as a reaction to the degenerate Communist infestation of society.

      [–]Klondike 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

      It was absolutely not a thing during Obama's tenure. What are you talking about.

      [–]Wahwah 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

      There was flags and banners during his election years and through out tenure to lesser extent. You may deny but I know what I have observed.

      [–]Wahwah 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      Good!

      [–]wrongthink 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      Sounds like you're trying to other the right.

      [–]Madsea 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      In my experience both sides do this. Both sides have developed extremist cults. The folks that worship Trump no matter what on the right, and the TQ+ Wokerati on the left.

      Both are bad for democracy.

      [–]robo1p 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      Have you people met education-majors while in college? I wouldn't let 90% of them within 100ft of my child. Most of the good teachers retired (due to old age) or are set to retire soon. Perhaps the younger teachers will become better as they get disillusioned, but I wouldn't count on it.
