On this episode of the Resistance Library Podcast Sam and Dave
discuss the history of education in the United
States.
Public schools are so ubiquitous and ingrained in American culture
that one could easily be forgiven for thinking that we, as a
nation, have always had them. However, public schools are a
relatively recent invention. Federal funding for public schools is
a recent anomaly, dating back to the days of President Jimmy
Carter. His successor, President Ronald Reagan, famously tried to
dismantle the Department of Education to no avail.
Public schools being an arm of the state are indoctrination
centers. This becomes increasingly true as basic skills such as the
old
“three
Rs” of
“reading,
writing and
‘rithmatic”
are jettisoned in favor of climate change, critical race theory and
gender ideology – all of which are now part and parcel of a public
education in the United States. As if this weren’t troubling
enough, public schools are largely funded by property taxes on
housing. These taxes, which are paid generally on a bi-annual
basis, are confiscated from people whose children do not even
attend public schools. What’s more, these taxes require people to
effectively pay rent on owned property under penalty of losing
their homes.
We do not have to look far for an alternative to the world of
public schools. Throughout most of American history, education has
been the purview of parents, the church, and other private
institutions. The rise of public education in the United States is
a story of violence and coercion that is largely hidden from the
public record. After reading this, you will never view public
schools in the same light ever again.
