I was not in the education field so I didn’t have insight to have a well informed opinion but I remember thinking that perhaps she was mistaken and the problems we were seeing were due exclusively to women working outside the home, increasing chaos in the homes, increased family breakdown, etc.<br /><br />Now anyone with eyes willing to see can appreciate that she was correct. It was appropriately slow so as not to alarm anyone as to what was happening. It was complete. No sector of education was left untouched. We are now being assured that mathematics and the insistence of relying on evidence and facts are tools of white supremacy. <br /><br />I am 50. I feel as if we are teetering on a precipice - that space where we still have enough competent people at the wheels of our various institutions that one can still make believe that everything is all right. <br /><br />In a short amount of time, though, I believe we are going to start seeing decay and gaping holes in institutions and professional fields that will be terrifying. <br /><br />Who wants to go to a doctor who barely passed “woke” chemistry?Deanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447566763139743519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-59912186225974816592019-11-11T06:17:14.457-08:002019-11-11T06:17:14.457-08:00Just as Hollywood stars and starlets are "pro...Just as Hollywood stars and starlets are "products" of a motivated team,<br />voice/drama/movement/dance/nutritionists/hairdresser/makeup artists/wardrobe specialists/personal trainers/sales-talent agents...and therefore not really "individuals",<br />National level politicians are similarly the "product" of a motivated team, stage-managed to best effect to achieve stated goals and to entertain a targeted audience/electorate.<br /><br />I'm uncertain to what extent the Hollywood crowd is under its dominion, but as time passes, I am more and more convinced the majority of the DC crowd is subject to "control files" ie blackmail, collected over time.<br /><br />My apologies for the cynicism.<br /><br />Prohibition of idol-worship has some valuable dividends.<br />"History" may be another idol in need of scrutiny.<br /><br />Cheers- <br />shoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
