American Education is under Attack
MAGA evangelicals are using any means possible to undermine American education and put an end to individual thinking. They do not want you to depend on your own experience, but blindly follow the teachings of religious and political leaders.
==================================
Education is the true foundation of any society. Education in the sense of what is learned in the family, at religious institutions, and in schools. What is learned in each of these will form the person we will ultimately become. And yet, education is not even on the list of voter priorities during elections.
We need to teach our children what it means to be an American. The ethics, right from wrong, need for loyalty to country above perceived personal or political beliefs. So who’s going to change the direction education is going? It doesn’t seem like anyone is. Everyone in America likes education the way it is because they can educate their constituencies oriented to their beliefs.
Education in America has stopped being about learning and is now about profit and influencing students to accept the beliefs of the organization providing the education. Schools run by Organizations have always shaped the future of their students to be aligned with the beliefs of that organization. This has now crept into public schools.
No politician will criticize education. As our nation becomes more divided our education will continue to deteriorate. Only when the nation becomes united in the quest for respect and equality in education will we be able to start reforming our broken educational system. That means the emergence of a new political party that represents the people of America and not just wealthy individuals, religous groups, and corporations. In America education is no longer about knowledge. It is about indoctrination and profit.
Schools are more concerned about their tuition and donor contributors than they are about their curriculum. Sports have become more important than science, history and civics.
Many of our brightest students do not get a higher education because they cannot afford it and do not want a life crippling student loan. Many of the 1% that can afford it are there for the social contacts that will enhance their future, not education.
The greatest costs to American families are Housing, education and healthcare. Why is America, the ‘freest nation on Earth’ one of the few nations that does not provide free education and healthcare to its citizens. Our education system is the worlds most expensive. Any American institution with a high world ranking is prohibitively expensive for the average American.
