Regarding schools, skip the courts and go for direct action

Posted on January 9, 2023January 9, 2023 by Bookworm

With schools failing because they’re substituting cultural Marxism for education, maybe voters will finally be willing to pull the plug on funding them. A few weeks ago, it was a big story when it emerged that the administrators at a very high-level academic high school (read: mostly Asian students) in

The Obliteration of Standards in Pursuit of “Social Justice”

Posted on October 3, 2021 by Wolf Howling

With their headlong, power-made rush to obliterate standards, progressives are destroying the people they purport to represent. Societies set standards for a host of reasons, though two are primary. First, standards, whether civil or legal, allow us to measure objective reality. For instance, the purpose of standards, such as school

Public school leftist indoctrination never stops

Posted on April 26, 2021April 26, 2021 by Bookworm

A random worksheet in an 8th-grade public school classroom highlights the non-stop leftist indoctrination our children receive in school. A friend of mine found himself in a public school 8th-grade classroom. The students had been doing a project that called upon them to identify what constitutes a hero. To help

Is a conservative counter-revolution possible?

Posted on February 12, 2021February 15, 2021 by Bookworm

I have no faith in a coming conservative counter-culture among today’s youth because they’ve never been taught that such a thing is possible. Long-time readers know that, for many years, I’ve been commenting about how sheeple-like the young people in my children’s generation are. I was a little girl in

Posted on October 4, 2020October 4, 2020 by Bookworm

Reviewing two textbooks from the 1880s, both of which covered the humanities, reminded me how far American education has fallen. In the 21st century, kids stay within the education world for longer than they ever have before in history. Most go through 12th grade, many go on to four or

Wuhan virus speeded up existing processes

The Wuhan virus has accelerated existing trends

Posted on August 31, 2020 by Bookworm

The Wuhan virus has sped up existing processes, such as hastening inevitable deaths, changing the business world, and exposing the left. You’ve probably read that 94% of Wuhan virus deaths happened to people who already had compromised health, whether from extreme age or diseases that were already putting stress on

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proves why the American education system is broken

Posted on February 7, 2020February 7, 2020 by Bookworm

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is remarkably dumb but it’s not entirely her fault. She is the product of an education system that cultivate and rewards stupidity. Over the years, there have been two constant themes in my posts: First, that public K-12 schools are awful and, second, that we should withdraw every

Woke teachers and ethnic studies are toxic

Posted on November 5, 2019November 5, 2019 by Bookworm

So-called “woke” teachers — aka socialists — in their ethnic studies classes use a strong foundation of complete ignorance to teach kids to hate America. (This post develops one of the topics I discussed in my No. 31 Bookworm Podcast.) Writing at Minding the Campus, George Leef has an article
