American Education–Where It’s Going

It’s amazing that there are so many elements of American society that have suddenly become controversial.  It wasn’t 10 years ago that virtually everyone believed that a high-quality education was a top priority, for the welfare of both the child and the nation into which he’ll soon find himself functioning as an adult.

Now, education is often perceived to teach socialism, alternate sexual identities, critical race theory, police blaming, and anti-Americanism.   Schools are viewed by many as breeding grounds for woke, liberal, and anti-capitalist ideas.

Of course, when you read this woman’s story about her experience in a Florida elementary school, you could argue that none of this matters, because the actual education is so substandard that what we teach is of no real consequence.
