Progressive Socialism

Britain Has the Most Successful Education in the World  (29 January 2016)

"When Anthony Crossland, [as] Education Secretary, set out in 1965 to destroy what he called 'every ... grammar school', he must have been aware that by doing so he'd be destroying ... education in any meaningful sense. Yet that was exactly the aim for which his progressivist loins ached. Education, or for that matter anything else, didn't have to be good. It just had to be equal - equally abysmal for anyone not blessed with parents able to pay for private schooling. As a side effect, it consigned to eternal misery the very poor in whose name progressive socialists are destroying our civilisation..."

Socialism Tested in the Classroom  (07 February 2015)

"An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, 'OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism..."

Teachers' Training Colleges

Teacher Trainers Are Only Interested in Social Engineering  (31 July 2017)

"I embarked on my PGCE course in Primary Education full of hope, eager to step into the classroom to teach. I had chosen my institution carefully and I was delighted to be accepted onto a course at one of London's most prestigious institutions. Once the course was underway I was surprised by how little emphasis was placed in actual subject content: short of a few exercises in science, arithmetic and basic English, there was little else to ensure that prospective teachers could actually transmit a body of knowledge. The main emphasis of the course was to assimilate the tenets of progressive theory that have been the intellectual backbone of the teaching profession [sic] since the 1960s..."

Politically Correct Indoctrination / Revisionism / Deconstructionism

Fight Back Against this Attack on Free Speech for Teachers  (29 May 2018)

"The Leftie Tories have launched another attack in their relentless war on conservatives with their new guidance to independent school on what 'values' teachers may and my not mention in the classroom. Schools and teachers are advised that they will be failed by Ofsted if they even suggest that they do not agree with same-sex marriage or civil partnerships ... It establishes a chilling principle: if you disagree with the government or do not toe the politically correct line, you will be out of a job..."

Stop Fidgeting at the Back, Children, We're Learning Neo-Colonialism  (22 March 2018)

"In the BBC TV series Civilisation, professor Mary Beard decried the British love of Greek art. She said it had led to narrow Eurocentrism. According to this view, what used to be termed our 'Island Story' was a vast detour away from appreciating other cultures, steeped in blood, slavery and theft, and little else. This belief is now taught right through our educational system, from kindergarten to university, focusing on our national canon of work, from children's books to fine art..."

Shorten Degree Courses - and Cull the Leftie Humanities  (23 December 2017)

While Mr Johnson, and hopefully Ms Somerville too, are thinking about shorter degrees, I hope they will take time to consider another improvement to higher education: fewer degrees ... the nation would benefit, and not just financially, from having far fewer humanities students and in the case of politics, sociology and social work, no students at all..."

My Chat With a Critical Race Theorist  (12 September 2017)

"[I]f we also take Sociology of Culture, Critical Legal Theory, Discourse Analysis, Black Studies, Post-Colonial Studies, Deconstruction, Critical Race Studies, Media Studies, Peace Studies, Subaltern Studies, Ethnic Studies, Gender Studies, Cultural Studies, Queer Theory, Critical Theory... ad infinitum, we can safely say that these academic disciplines are deeply political. That is, they don't simply study politics and society: they're also deeply political in themselves. What that means is that such academics have political causes and values in mind before they carry out their 'empirical research'.  Political causes and values colour almost everything they do ... such academics are as politically-driven as they claim their opponents are ... The aforementioned academic disciplines, therefore, are but means to bring about political ends..."

Star Teacher: Schools are Subjecting Pupils to 'Left-Wing Brainwashing'  (15 July 2017)

"With effect from September 2020 primary school children as young as five must be taught about gay [sic] and transgender relationships. And parents' right to withdraw their children from inappropriate sex education is to be further reduced form the same date ... the DfE wants to indoctrinate [children] with adult concepts about homosexuality and gender dysphoria ... teaching primary school children about homosexual relationships and about people changing their sex inevitably sexualised them out of their childhood innocence..."

Reader's comment:  "The best education ended in the 1950's.  Since then there has been the deliberate gradual erosion of real education to be replaced by political re-education./indoctrination camps.  The only sex education that should be taught at schools is about reproduction.  Any teachers who willingly apply this are not teachers but people who have already been brainwashed and indoctrinated by the enemies of all that is good in the world.  Incredible as it may seem to these re-education gulag lunatics most people are capable of making their own way in life and discovering about themselves.  They don't need your cynical and sinister help.  Let alone have it enforced by terror upon the entire population"

Formed from a single tiny brain cell, it wafts through the British university system in a cloud of victimhood, attracting similarly strident comrades who accumulate in student unions and spaces where they are safe from criticism and hurtful ideas..."

Whose parents went to university? Mine didn't. I can't think of a single kid at the Catholic comp I attended in the 1980s and early 1990s whose parents ever darkened the door of a university. ... the vast majority of our parents' generation, the Boomers, didn't go to university.

"The UK is a free country because there is freedom of speech, thought, conscience, and belief, but these freedoms are under attack ... Universities should be places where students learn how to think. Many have instead become places where students are programmed with politically correct groupthink, where deviation from the politically correct narrative is a punishable offence ... University students are adults: if they can't listen to an opinion that they don't agree with without needing to go to their safe space, then they shouldn't be at university. Nobody is going to agree with every opinion they hear, but students should not be mollycoddled. They do not need protection from being offended. This is particularly true for most visiting speakers: students normally have a choice as to whether they go to listen to them or not. There is no reason to 'no platform' a visiting speaker unless they are inciting violence. If freedom of speech is eroded, either actively or passively, then we replace it with totalitarianism, where everybody is required to have the same opinion and thoughts" [source].

Oh dear it's not going to end well"

YOUTUBE:  Dumbing Down University  (22 January 2016)

"Well, it was revealed this week that free speech is now a thing of the past in 90% of British universities because the current generation of students - 'Generation Snowflake' as it's become known - is so intellectually fragile that many of them can't hear an opposing argument without dissolving in a puddle of 'traumatised feelings', and they need to 'take refuge' in what they call 'safe spaces'; places they say are designed to promote inclusiveness, by, you've guessed it, excluding people - specifically anyone with an unwelcome opinion which may have a toxic effect on the vulnerable occupants of these 'safe spaces' and 'trigger' them by reminding them of things that have happened in the past that make them sad. In other words, these are people who have been intellectually disenfranchised by their own heightened sense of 'specialness'..."

[EMcD: (a) In so far as the comment made in this video concerning religion applies to Christianity we obviously couldn't endorse the view of the speaker, and (b) some strong language is used.  My caveats notwithstanding - well, gird up your loins all you 'snowflakes' cos this is one lecture you do need to attend if you're going to survive in Grown-Up World.]

YOUTUBE:  Free Speech on Campus  (02 March 2015)

"I think everyone should be entitled to free speech - except progressive, left-wing students. They should be denied a platform, as part of their education, so that they know how it feels. It's called 'equality' and 'fairness'. Could it be any more progressive?  I say this because it seems like every week we hear about somebody being banned or shouted-down in one of those progressive bubbles of righteous intolerance that we still have the nerve to call universities..."

The Frankfurt School

"The Frankfurt School believed that as long as an individual had the belief - or even the hope of belief - that his divine gift of reason could solve the problems facing society, then that society would never reach the state of hopelessness and alienation that they considered necessary to provoke socialist revolution.

Their task, therefore, was as swiftly as possible to undermine the Judaeo-Christian legacy. To do this they called for the most negative destructive criticism possible of every sphere of life which would be designed to de-stabilize society and bring down what they saw as the 'oppressive' order. Their policies, they hoped, would spread like a virus - 'continuing the work of Western Marxists by other means' as one of their members noted.

To further the advance of their 'quiet' cultural revolution ... the [Frankfurt] School recommended (among other things):

(1) the creation of racism offences,
(2) continual change to create confusion,
(3) the teaching of sex and homosexuality to children,
(4) the undermining of schools' and teachers' authority,
(5) huge immigration to destroy identity,
(6) the promotion of excessive drinking,
(7) emptying of churches,
(8) an unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime,
(9) dependency on the state or state benefits,
(10) control and dumbing down of media,
(11) encouraging the breakdown of the family.

One of the main ideas of the Frankfurt School was to exploit Freud's idea of 'pansexualism' - the search for pleasure, the exploitation of the differences between the sexes, the overthrowing of traditional relationships between men and women. To further their aims they would:

(a) attack the authority of the father, deny the specific roles of father and mother, and wrest away from families their rights as primary educators of their children,
(b) abolish differences in the education of boys and girls,
(c) abolish all forms of male dominance - hence the presence of women in the armed forces,
(d) declare women to be an 'oppressed class' and men as 'oppressors'."

Programmes of Treason

"There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state:

• Healthcare - Control healthcare and you control the people;

• Poverty - Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live;

• Debt - Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That wa6y you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty;

• Gun Control - Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state;

• Welfare - Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income);

• Education - Take control of that people read and listen to - take control of what children learn in school;

• Religion - Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools;

• Class Warfare - Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take from (tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor" [source].

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!"
(Isaiah 5:20-21)
