Pro Gun actions to turn the tide
#4
When I read and study John Dewey's life and his thoughts, they are the ramblings of a psycho-babbling philosopher who struggles with sentence structure and coherent thought, while hiding his true feelings and agenda of atheism and service to whomever his "god" really is. He was a unitarian atheist trying to harmonize difference sects of atheism, Darwinian replacement theory for common religious agreement on the origins of man, while still using references to "God" and religion as a means of hopefully moving into a future where people would look at the beliefs of their ancestors as antiquated and irrelevant in terms of science, but still relevant as studies in anthropology.

Quote:Few people can claim a greater influence on American culture than the philosopher John Dewey (1859–1952). In the course of a long career, Dewey practically reinvented the American system of education from the bottom up.

Dewey was also a key figure in the rebirth of modern humanism. But his approach was controversial, even among humanists — partly because he wanted to keep using the word God, even though he didn’t believe such a being existed.

For some atheists and humanists, such reminders of religion bring up too many bad memories or resentments. Others don’t want to be assumed to be religious, an assumption that makes them disappear into the mainstream and reinforces the idea that atheists are rare.

For these reasons, anytime I see something recommending mandatory training or instruction of whatever the pet subject is at the time to be executed in the repulsive existence of public school, I am doubly-opposed to it with the same fervor that I am for protecting my right to keep and bear arms. I wouldn't blame a pacifist for feeling the same revulsion to the concept of their kids being forced to partake in something they don't want, just as I don't allow the State anywhere near my children on a daily basis when it comes to education or schooling.

What we really need is an educational revolution where our existing brick and mortar schools become skills centers with a buffet approach, with qualified instructors who actually know what they are talking about and can demonstrate competency in teaching anyone who wants to participate in the disciplines they have subject matter mastery of.

Since that would require the vast majority of public school teachers to find different lines of work, it faces an uphill battle, especially considering the power that Teacher's Unions wield over their districts and States at the voting booth. The system is a cancer that has only metastasized throughout American culture and politics, to the extent that 6 generations later, we misperceive it to be a bedrock American institution when it is nothing of the sort.

The problem is, we can't continue to innovate and progress into the 21st Century unless we totally overhaul this abhorrent institution that blemishes the face of our land from sea to shining sea.

My personal solution is to provide a true education to my children at home, which includes familiarity and discipline with arms and measured self-defense. I say "good luck" to you who think you will find favor with the monstrously-illiterate and uneducated "teachers" or administrators in your local districts trying to get firearms instruction anywhere near their precious "new social order" classrooms. There are a handful of high schools with shooting teams still out there, and some areas have actually been increasing their shooting team and shooting discipline participation, so it is a worthwhile cause if you can pull it off.
