As the elites push ever more insane curricula on our children, with Critical Race Theory and "gender change" near the top of the list, many Americans are becoming mobilized to address the crisis in education. But the fight against this evil must be driven by a greater understanding of what must replace it. As Tony Papert has stressed in previous classes, going back to the "good old days" of the 1950's or 1960's is not adequate.

Tony Papert delivers the third class in our series on classical education. What role does metaphor play in communicating an idea? What about contradiction? Ambiguity? Verse? Is there a method for learning the concepts and ideas upon which future human civilization depends?

We’re being told to “follow the science” on Covid, but the orders from Tony Fauci and other authorities change one hundred eighty degrees from one day to the next. What is science? Do our citizens know what it is? Our schools teach them that science is nothing but a sackful of mathematical formulas, plus the new “Green” religion of “Climate Change.” Is that true?

Of course we have to trash the race- and sex indoctrination sessions. Of course students must once more learn to write and calculate. But the needs of today's students go far beyond this. Rather than submitting youth to mere babysitting under the label of "liberal arts," from public school through four years of college, as we do today, we can and must prepare them for the intellectual rigors of citizenship, and simultaneously for the challenges of employment in the new technologies implied by President Trump's Artemis Mission to the Moon and Mars. This class, the first of three, featured in-depth discussion of the new, proposed Socratic teaching methods, and a History curriculum superior to any used in the past in the United States or elsewhere.

As we get the political power to do it, we’re going to revolutionize all of education in the United States, beginning with K-12 education. Once we work out some of the kinks, we’ll be able, using Lyndon LaRouche’s methods, to graduate students from the 12th grade who have a much better education, all around the spectrum, than four-year college graduates get today.  Not simply quantitatively better, but qualitatively superior, “in a whole different league.”

The post below presents the problem which preoccupies parents throughout the United States. The schools, public and private, are committing a form of menticide on America’s children, whether it be through Critical Race Theory or a curriculum so dumbed down and based on drill-and-grill that all human creative potential is extinguished. There is a great hue and cry about public versus private, but no one is focused on what must be taught to fulfil our human nature as creative human beings participating in divine creation. We will start a new class series on this topic on Saturday, March 20th. Consider this post your invitation to attend. Please circulate to your friends.

After an inaugural speech about "unity," fake president Joe Biden has signed an incredible 40 Executive Orders in his first ten days, many extremely controversial, along with a comparable number of other directives. Although the greatest number relate to the false religion of global warming--now rechristened "climate change,"--others effectively open our borders to unlimited illegal immigration. Still others mandate Critical Race Theory struggle sessions in the Federal government and our military, like the "struggle sessions" of the Chinese Cultural Revolution of 1966-76. Yet other orders dictate that female athletes in high school and college compete against (and shower with) biological boys and men. Biden's controllers even postponed President Trump's order slashing insulin prices for low-income diabetics.
