CARDELLO: Is It Too Late to Reverse Fifty Years of Indoctrination

December 3, 2025 Ray Cardello

The public school system in America has been on a mission for decades. I used the timeframe of 50 years in today’s article title because it coincides with the Department of Education’s founding.

MACDONALD: Maybe “Teach Them” to Teach Reading, Instead?

December 4, 2025November 30, 2025 Steve MacDonald

The abysmal state of Public education cannot be overstated—an increasing investment in declining results. Sorry. I’m presuming things, like the purpose of the buildings and the system, is to teach kids to learn. As observed here, So we’ve been told for years, that we have to fund schools.

Growing up in China, I never heard of parental rights. Every child in China belongs to the State.

October 30, 2023 Ray Cardello

The government has been complicit in the rising cost of a college degree, making student loans easy to get regardless of the amount.

Often called “The Nation’s Report Card” it measures various subjects like Arts, Civics, Economics, Geography, Mathematics, Reading, Science, US History, and Writing.

RedState has a post entitled “A Group of Pennsylvania Teachers Prove It Was Always About Indoctrination, Not Education” (reformatted, emphasis mine): Public schools have become a minefield.

Update: Gabriel Gipe, CS HS Teacher Who Was Indoctrinating Students to Be Socialist Revolutionaries, Paid $190K to Quit???

August 14, 2022August 13, 2022 Skip

A sad story where even if we “win”, the other side gets to cash out bigly.

This isn’t the quiet part yet, but sets the stage:

March 30, 2022 Skip

I keep seeing things like this all the time popping up in reports from schools in which teachers are demonstrably telling students that their parents hate them – so we will be your parents.

Let’s talk about HB1255. This bill does just the opposite of what one writer said about shutting down our kids learning history. HB1255 takes the mind control of our kids away from the teachers.
