There are more than a billion smartphones in use today, for example. We have a country where the young don’t know Shakespeare and haven’t read the Bible, and their lives are almost wholly unconnected with the past.
No wonder that things are so messed up.IT'S ONE REASON THE FUTURE IS BLEAK.
HOW DID IT HAPPEN?
THE POSTMODERN LEFT TOOK OVER THE MEDIA AND THE ACADEMY AND WON THE CULTURE WAR.
THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE CREATING "THE NEW MAN".
THE USSR - AND ITS CROOKED GENOCIDAL TYRANTS & APPARATCHIKS PROVED - THAT YOU NEVER TRULY CREATE "A NEW MAN".
BUT YOU CAN MAKE HIM IGNORANT AND HATE HIS OWN NATION AND HIS OWN CULTURE AND HIS OWN CIVILIZATION.
THIS IS ONE REASON WHY WE'RE DOING SUCH AN AWFUL JOB FIGHTING ISLAMIZATION AND RAMPANT OUT-OF-CONTROL ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION - AND CREEPING SOCIALISM:
THE LEFT HAS DISABLED OUR ZEAL TO DEFEND OUR CULTURE FROM INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL THREATS.
I see some of these problems creeping into the homeschool movement, too. A few years ago, I didn't see these problems creeping in.
ReplyDeleteI think that the difference now is that I have a new group of homeschool parents -- younger, of course, and so many of them graduates from major universities -- left wing universities.
I clearly recall the day when I polled the parents of the middle school about the identity of Helen Keller. These parents (in their 30s, I guess) didn't know who Helen Keller was! Can you believe that? I made time to have the students and their parents watch The Miracle Worker during class time (over a period of two class sessions). The parents said to me (paraphrase), "YOU are Annie Sullivan! Now we understand why you are the way you are. You really do LOVE the kids!"
My point with the above comment: those teachers of us who are trying to impart our Western legacy to the children of today are having a difficult time. We're being fought every step of the way. **sigh**
