In this video, I sit down with author and journalist Alex Newman to talk about his book "Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy America's Children" which Newman co-wrote with Samuel Blumenfeld.
The blow-back of public schooling is on full display today as children grow into subservient, needy "adults", desperately demanding success instead of looking for success. A population of lazy lemmings bent on using the state's extortion apparatus in order to obtain wealth. The double-speak is Orwellian as their selfish greedy is called "fair" and the notion of working for success and trading goods for services is considered "greed".
Children are being indoctrinated to expect instead of work.
Self responsibility is the most instrumental aspect of individual liberty which is drying up and dying, to be blown by the winds of time and never seen again.
The Marxist suppression of free thought and objective views has seized the curriculum of public schools, universities and colleges today as those who disagree are called Nazis by adult children, playing with play-dough in their safe spaces.
This is either the end of humanity as we know it, or the beginning of our awakening as the absurdity grows to vast scales leading many to pull out of the school system and homeschool. Unschooling is becoming more and more popular as the state criticizes a parent's right to keep their children out of indoctrination camps.
Alex Newman does an incredible job of breaking down this problem and giving solutions.
His book 'Crimes of the Educators' has been praised by people like Dr. Ron Paul who of course authored 'The School Revolution' among many other masterpieces.
Self-responsibility. You've hit the nail on the head there. Not only in our educational system, but self-responsibility everywhere. The police officer 'just doing his work' by shooting innocent people. Or shooting at all. The soldier in the JSF, pressing a button to drop a bomb. 'Just doing his work', he replied. Responsibility cannot be relayed to the state, or to anyone else. Only to yourself. Not even home schooling should be compulsory. No one should have anything to say about anyone else. Only that is freedom of choice.

The police officer just following Immoral, unjust orders, like enforcing immoral unjust laws. People following unlawful orders, period. Be the change you want to see in the world, live by example.

Which I do. Naturally. Following orders is no reason to put morals and ethics aside, and commit violence to protect opinions and threats written in law. The nazis "just followed orders", too.

"I don't make the laws" is equal to "I don't make the orders", in the end everything the Nazis did was legal, and they probably argued that exact same sentiment while doing it "I don't make the laws."

What you're saying here is that so long as it's legal you're free to kill?

Well look at cops, how many get anything more than a slap on the writ, because they were too busy getting home to their family, they are quite literally free to kill, because the law says that a perceived threat is a real threat, and because the judge will wink at them, and the da will pat them on the back "you had to do what you had to do" while the superiors nod in agreement, so keep the ranks filled up with those that make their IQ limits, because more fear of cops drives more freedom with the pen, until they are the equivalent of the nazis, except they are waiting on some kind of attack to round up all the Asians into internment camps, ran by the good ol' prison industrial complex with the CIA waiting for top pickings, chattel slavery, but don't worry it only happened one time.

As a researcher, the mainstream education system is at the root of the mind control and issues in today's world. Those before the children aren't teachers, just gatekeeper repeaters. This line of thought is too much for some though.

For some, like the deluded gatekeepers who blame the kids and not their methods. Those that question the methods are quickly singled out and ostracized by the deluded gatekeepers.

Should it be called: Why you Should Remove Your Child From Indoctrination ?
Thanks for another excellent submission.
PS:// People: Appreciate the freedom to home school. There are countries in Western Europe where people go to jail and children are removed from their parents for home schooling. Germany comes to mind.

School sucks.
School sucks the creativity out of you.
School sucks the critical thinking capabilities out of you.
School sucks the natural inquisitiveness out of you.
School sucks the rebellious, adventurous nature out of you.
School teaches you to submit to authority and become dependent on it.
School teaches you to conform and be just like everyone else.
School is designed this way, it’s the foundation of a program put in place to shape and mold you into the modern day US citizen. Obedient and unquestioning with an unending urge to buy stuff.
It’s not about reading, writing and arithmetic it’s about turning out obedient citizens.

Kids are taught to be consumers to consume instead of produce. The richness lies in the ability to produce, not consume.

Without demand there is nothing, yet demand isn't everything but it is very crucial. The schools hardly teach children to consume, that's the culture itself, that's everyone else besides the schools, the schools are there to keep you from questioning by spoon feeding you conclusive thoughts that repeat the government (mind control) meme of "for your safety, your your benefit, the people's stick".

@freebornangel, give means keep, the waltons stole everything so I can steal it back, free stuff for more than free stuff is worth, everyone owns everything nobody owns anything, workers of the world unite, stop paying keep working.
I wonder how come everything is resolved around Community first and nobody has a lick to say about self responsibility outside community responsibility.
Give means keep.
