Don't Jack With My Kids!

HelloAll,
Oh My Are we looking through the looking glass back in OZ People?

DO NOT UNDER-MIND THE CHILDREN!!!!

You would be surprised to how many kids actually know more then you do, and come home and tell you about it, or share something with you that completely knocks you on your ass.

"My five year old came home and told me if Ricky puts his penis in my vagina I can have an abortion." Outraged mom-Oakland Elementary CA

"My teacher said if we don't listen to the cops, then they could blow our heads off." 14 yr old boy Detroit Middle School. MICH USA

"In world government class we learned that if they ask you to search your car and you say no your gonna get beat up or shot." 15 yrs. old- Erin Cohns-NEW YORK

"We get to watch cartoons everyday at school that teaches us about food safety." Mia Olsin-9 yrs old Chicago Ill.

Do you make you children aware of what's going on? Do you let them learn from someone else? Do you keep them in the dark altogether? Or Do you let them learn the hard fucking way? If there is a way for you to home school your kids, you might think about it. I use to be be on the fence about this topic. Not anymore. Investigate the school where your kids attend. Make it a priority. Look at their books and pay attention to their work. I am a teacher and if for one second you think I would sit by on the sidelines and let this kind of crap happen where I work,....Well you can think twice BABY NO FUCKING WAY!

How long does it take people to open up their eyes and their minds?
It took American TV news at least a century to figure out the Great American Dumb-Down. Perhaps the lag time in noticing the phenomenon reflects the purposely impaired ability to think inculcated in U.S. public schools.

John Taylor Gatto-wrote The Underground History of American Education, a book dutifully panned by the mainstream press. His chilly critical reception in no small part was occasioned by his apparently radical thesis: American public education by the early 20th century had become,

"A servant of corporate and political management"

Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt served as the head of policy at the Department of Education during the first administration of Ronald Reagan. While working there she discovered a long term strategic plan by the tax exempt foundations to transform America from a nation of rugged individualists and problem solvers to a country of servile, brainwashed minions who simply regurgitate whatever they're told. Oh there is so much more to this story. Quite frankly pisses me off to read on but if you would like to be my guest. The little information here is enough for me. Link listed below.

As an educator I have not yet experienced a curriculum being placed in my hands and being ordered for me to read, "Implement This." I write my own school lesson plans so far.
I try to “Imagine, going to work each day knowing a great deal of what I might be teaching or doing is fraudulent, knowing in no way would I be preparing my students for life in an ever more brutal world, knowing that if you don’t continue along your scripted prep course and indeed get better at it you will be out of a job.

FUCK YOU! Would Be My Action I am out of here.

There is something grotesque about the fact the education reform in many places is being led NOT by educators but by finances, and speculators who are controlled by and bought from ELITE billionaires.

EDUCATORS NEED TO GET EDUCATED TOO!

WOW HOW MANY ARE JUST FOLLOWING PROTOCOL?

I am so happy to be AWARE AS A TEACHER/EDUCATOR

The truly educated become conscious. They become self-aware. They do not lie to themselves. They do not pretend that fraud is moral or that corporate greed is good. They do not claim that the demands of the marketplace can morally justify the hunger of children or denial of medical care to the sick. They do not throw 6 million families from their homes as the cost of doing business. Thought is a dialogue with one’s inner self. Those who think ask questions, questions those in authority do not want asked. They remember who we are, where we come from and where we should go.

They remain eternally skeptical and distrustful of power. And they know that this moral independence is the only protection from the radical evil that results from collective unconsciousness. The capacity to think is the only bulwark against any centralized authority that seeks to impose mindless obedience. There is a huge difference, as Socrates understood, between teaching people WHAT to think and teaching them HOW to think. Those who are endowed with a moral conscience refuse to commit crimes, even those sanctioned by the corporate state, because they do not in the end want to live with criminals—themselves.

“It is better to be at odds with the whole world than, being one, to be at odds with myself,” Socrates said.

Those who can ask the right questions are armed with the capacity to make a moral choice, to defend the good in the face of outside pressure. And this is why the philosopher Immanuel Kant puts the duties we have to ourselves before the duties we have to others. The standard for Kant is not the biblical idea of self-love—love thy neighbor as thyself, do unto others as you would have them do unto you—but self-respect. What brings us meaning and worth as human beings is our ability to stand up and pit ourselves against injustice and the vast, moral indifference of the universe. Once justice perishes, as Kant knew, life loses all meaning. Those who meekly obey laws and rules imposed from the outside—including religious laws—are not moral human beings. The fulfillment of an imposed law is morally neutral. The truly educated make their own wills serve the higher call of justice, empathy and reason. Socrates made the same argument when he said it is better to suffer wrong than to do wrong.

As Arendt pointed out, we must trust only those who have this self-awareness. This self-awareness comes only through consciousness. It comes with the ability to look at a crime being committed and say “I can’t.” We must fear, Arendt warned, those whose moral system is built around the flimsy structure of blind obedience. We must fear those who cannot think. Unconscious civilizations become totalitarian wastelands.

“In the face of uncertainty, you can cowardly seek the comfort of the ranks and look to authority to tell you where to point the guns. Or you can turn to the one reliable source for guidance that you have, when instant obedience is being called for – your own conscience.”
