My daughter and I exchange e-mails and information on a daily basis and the other day, she informed me that RX had been added to the word Academic. And sure enough, I googled AcademicRX, and links filled the screen. As I scanned the list, I became aware that the highly educated are the ones that have taken it upon themselves to see that America is "dumbed down" properly. The same group of people that immunized the baby boomers into auto-immune deficiency are now concerned that too many parents want to medicate their children. Interesting, isn't it? Doctors and politicians create the fear and promote the propaganda, then when the huddled masses show up and want their solutions, "the people are overreacting." Well, doctors, surely there's a medication for over reactive parents . . . That's right, anti-depressants and mood elevators. And there are tons of medications for all the people that are afraid of their own shadow and can't sleep at night, and have some sort of anxiety issue and, and, and . . . that list is endless enough to finance those big houses and luxury cruises, now aren't they! But these "mighty minds" are not acting alone. It would seem, when public education became the standard in this country, teaching was no longer about imparting knowledge, but rather about instilling ideology. Rather than reading, writing, and arithmetic, history, and job skills, other issues became major to the curriculum.
Who needs spelling, we have spellchecker . . . As far as writing goes, this is the age of technology, we keyboard and joystick and mouse, besides doctors have terrible handwriting . . . Math? We can bring calculators to school, and you can't even buy a slide rule anymore. History can be rewritten and what's a job? Science and social studies have been key in transforming the education system to a filtering system, and now that pharmaceuticals have been added, the Brave New World that Aldous Huxley wrote about, is in existence right before our very eyes. While everybody is ranting about "1984," we've entered the Brave New World. American history is history, now; and the revisionists are touting their work on every bookstand and radio station. The 1950's brought a time of freedom in fear that we've not experienced, since, but those that grew up in it, have accepted the lack of logic as normal and the generations that followed have sadly not improved their lot. School in the 50's and early 60's became a place to learn to fear the Communists and participate in duck-and-cover drills. Then the sixties happened, and America mourned the death of a President, believed the lie of the Warren Commission, watched two more high profile figures be gunned down in their prime, and our nation divided the young men into two categories: soldiers in a pointless war and draft dodgers. There was LSD, pot, and many other forms of "medication" because the generation molded by the freedom in fear group, could not cope with the lack of logic, so schools then became the keepers of society. Current events, the anti-establishment and dress codes became much more relevant than America's view of world history and world events. It was already clear that the powers that be in America had a seriously skewed view. Then of course, in the wake of making love, not war, sex education became part of the curriculum, obviously part of the science department, and continues to be a topic of debate to this day. We've had two more generations in this country while the establishment bickers over whether the kids should know about sex. Not to disrupt the lack of logic, just thought I'd point out the incredibly obvious, two more generations indicates, the kids found out about it. So now, besides being the keepers of society, the education system became the medium for sexual awareness. Not that anybody is learning anything new, it's just that hearing the debates on the news causes the questions to be raised. Which of course, gave way to the need for tolerance. Racial, sexual, religious tolerance, just to name a few. So now, the education system has assumed the role in less than 100 years, of the G~d given responsibility and privilege that parents had for the previous 5,000+. Ah, but parents only had to deal with a few at a time and the education system has them by the rooms full. And I think by now, we are all aware that an altered state of consciousness is just more malleable and in all probability more compliant. When science eliminated "absolute" what's the point of actually learning. The theories will only be obsolete later, and the revisionists will tell us how it really was???? Education is no longer the impartation of knowledge and skills, but rather the attempt to program the soma induced drones. By eliminating factual American history and aiming current events at a pointless war, we've already seen the results, so our current leaders are sure it can be done again. Bring on the pundits, they'll tell us what we need to know.
The American history that we are not being taught proves this out. Those that grew up in the Eisenhower 50's still feel safest when they think there is alot to fear. And many of those that grew up in the 60's and 70's still don't trust the establishment, and those that became the establishment didn't go to war. By the 80's, awareness and individuality was the only thing left to eliminate, and the legal drugs to accomplish that, became available. As for the rest, it will continue to play out, as prescribed.
The 50's brought government control over education, along with health and welfare . . . By the end of the 70's, education needed it's own post in the cabinet . . . and by the end of the 80's a drug czar had to be added. So the government is just bringing it all back together, by placing the welfare of the children back in the hands of the "good doctors" who can just see that the drugs get handed out at school. And in the name of tolerance, well being, and social advancement, everyone can simply, think alike.
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. - a Proverb from Holy Scripture
