Education, Entertainment and Communications Is Where Important Battles Are




[From article]
The enemy is not a corps of professional politicians, but rather a cadre of tenured professors, bureaucrats protected from the merit system, executives and managers running communications and entertainment corporations, public school teachers and administrators, professional “advocates” for notionally oppressed groups, lawyers and judges, and a related army of operatives dependent upon misery, suspicion, and helplessness.
Hillary is nothing. Obama is nothing. Biden, Pelosi, and Reid are so clearly nebbishes that they scarcely merit notice. These very ordinary, very common people commit such egregious ethical crimes – Hillary destroying e-mails that belong to the State Department, Reid lying on the floor of the Senate about Mitt Romney’s tax records – and show such appalling ignorance – Obama telling us about his grandfather liberating Auschwitz, Biden explaining how President Roosevelt got on television in 1929 – that most would fail the most basic competence test.
These are sock puppets, interchangeable parts in a vast amorphous bowl of glop, whose only interest is power and notice and whose only ability is to mouth the party line of the day.
[. . .]
Each time public schools ask for more money, we ought to respond that our acquiescence is conditional on protections against educational brainwashing and the deconstruction of our values. Why not also ask that the credentialing of teachers be changed so that experts without degrees in education can teach?
[. . .]
Review the holdings of public libraries, which seek and need general public goodwill. Does the book selection process routinely include politically correct books but curiously decline to purchase books that represent unorthodox (i.e., conservative) opinions? Libraries are often subject to local control, and the decisions of hundreds or even thousands of these library boards can have a profound effect on publishing decisions.
Many of these actions can be taken by state governments, and others can be taken by public-spirited citizens. All of these have the advantage of incrementally pushing the superstructure of society toward sane, moral, and honest principles.
While 2016 is important, winning the real battle, which is against entrenched leftists in the choice points of public education, communication, and entertainment, is much more important. Until we win this battle, we will never win the war.
