One of the reasons why our Education System is so pathetic is that our children are not being correctly taught our own American history and philosophy. Then they grow up listening and believing whatever the manipulators behind pop culture are seeding throughout our citizens and young ones.
It is to break our wills. To make us believe we are not in charge of our government.
Rights are not gifts from government
It’s not really “liberty” if it requires a government permission slip.This view is almost totally lost among the general public today – but it was common among the founders and old revolutionaries. Thomas Jefferson may have summed it up best:
“A free people claim their rights, as derived from the laws of nature, and not as a gift from their chief magistrate.”
This “natural rights” view is the foundation for all the rest. And getting the foundation right is essential for getting the solution right too – that is, going from where we are today to a real “land of the free.”
That’s why we focus so much time and energy on teaching people about these foundational principles from the American Revolution.
And they will continue to do so IF WE LET THEM.
Doubt me?
For those paying attention to the idiocy on college campuses, they are protesting the “genocide” that Israel is meting out to the Palestinian savages that killed over 1,200 Israelis at a music festival. Yet, how great can that be when 20% of Israeli citizens are Arabs? How can that be when the population in Gaza exploded from 91,000 in 1960 to 2,200,000 in 2023? And while Arabs remain in Israel and are 20% of the citizens, all Jews were kicked out of Gaza when Israel left Gaza in 2006.
Here, ask a young person (and many older people), what is a Right as an American citizen? And if it IS a Right, WHY is it a Right, and can the Government ever take it away?
Certainly, the Gilford School Board, as many regular readers know, tried to take away our Right to Free Speech when they made it mandatory that a young child could force anyone on school property to be called by pronouns established by a child. They also pulled another ” ideological rabbit out of their hat” by forcing their staff to lie to parents (TO PARENTS!!!) concerning the gender dysphoria status (“transgender” – yet another made-up word by the Left) of their children and deleted the Right (affirmed many times in judicial decisions) for parents to raise their children in the manner in which THEY determine – not schools. It took 2.5 years of fighting them to win that battle.
Yet, the lowest subdivision of the State decided, amongst five school board members, that they had the power to do so.
Shame on us ALL for not keeping our school systems from straying from what they should be doing, education, and letting them be ideological centers…
All because too many of us don’t know what a Right is?
So,, quick question for you, dear readers: How many of you know what a negative Right is compared to a positive Right? And why is it important?
