A scholar in New Hampshire has admitted that he helped develop the state’s Common Core testing standards in order to attack the “white privilege” of the state’s white population. His goal was to knock white people down a few pegs in the Granite State.
Patricia L. Dickson reports that Dr. David Pook, a professor at Granite State College and chair of the history department the Derryfield School in Manchester, New Hampshire, admitted to an audience at an event at New Hampshire Institute of Politics that he had a goal that was far different than education when he helped write the state standards.
The reason why I helped write the standards and the reason why I am here today is that as a white male in society I am given a lot of privilege that I didn’t earn[.]
Amusingly, Derryfield, the very school Prof Pook works for, feels that the standards are inferior and will not use them!
Regardless, this is yet another example of how our schools are used for extremist, left-wing social engineering instead of education. “Teachers” like Pook want to use our schools as a means to indoctrinate kids with anti-American, left-wing garbage. And don’t be fooled. This guy may be one of the few who openly admits that Common Core is meant to undermine the US, but he isn’t alone in that goal.
Sadly, these creeps are succeeding in undermining our system of education and aiding in tearing down the United States.
But, folks, we can blame ourselves–we conservatives–for this happening. Since the turn of the last century the left has proudly and loudly announced its plans to warp our educational system into a hate-filled, left-wing indoctrination machine that will disgorge millions of good little socialists every year.
The left has succeeded amazingly well in doing this. Yet conservatives have stood idly by and allowed this to happen without even entering the field of battle to oppose the leftwingery being forced upon our children.
It’s no wonder that we have had several generations of students who have emerged from school with no knowledge of our American ideals, our culture or our civil institutions and immersed in the hate for America that passes for “history” in our classrooms.
Then conservatives suddenly try to convince them that the left is wrong when these kids are in their late 20s and early 30s? The right ignores these kids for nearly 30 years then belatedly tries get their vote at such a late date? Then wonders why they can’t make headway??
Come on.
What the right needs to do is re-invest in our system of education and teach our children properly when they’re children, not when they are adults. If the right utterly cedes the battleground for our kids’ minds and souls to the far left, then why should they expect to win later on?
