Top O’ the Briefing
Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. True joy has never been found in proximity to a rice cake.
There’s a lot of red meat stuff going on in the world right now, but one story from last Friday caught my attention when I was coming out of my regularly scheduled weekly news coma and gathering the links for this morning .
Sometimes the issues that are the most important aren’t the sexiest for the headlines. School choice and the plague of the public school indoctrination mills fall into the “non-sexy” category for a lot of people. I keep hammering away at them though. Media bias and school choice were the two issues that got me writing about politics a long time ago, and I refuse to let up on either one of them.
The leftist indoctrination of American school children (which I wrote about in “Don’t Let the Hippies Shower“) is at the root of most of the ills that plague this country. Sexy or not, it is the issue that should get the most attention. You don’t get a Kamala Harris within sniffing distance of the presidency without a sufficiently brainwashed electorate.
For years, Republican candidates and politicians paid lip-service to education reform and — in typical GOP fashion — left it at that. As part of his efforts to introduce a spine into Republican politics, President Trump has set his sights on the Death Star, aka the Department of Education (DoE). It’s not an easy task, mostly because the teachers’ unions will be using their considerable resources to keep the behemoth alive.
The teachers’ unions are the root of all evil in this battle.
That’s why this post from Catherine grabbed my eye:
Republican congressmen are hoping to throw the book at a massive and massively woke teachers’ union that has a congressional charter.
With American students’ math and reading scores continuing to hit historic lows last year, and with schools and teachers regularly prioritizing radical leftist propaganda over truthful, useful education, it’s obvious the National Education Association (NEA) is a catastrophic failure. While the NEA promotes pro-Hamas rhetoric and bashes Donald Trump, many American kids can barely read or solve equations.
Rep. Mark Harris (R-N.C.) wants better for America’s youth. “The National Education Association’s time is over,” he said Wednesday, announcing new legislation to remove NEA’s congressional charter, which it has had since 1906. “They call themselves a teachers’ union, but their true mission is clear: indoctrinating our children with toxic propaganda.”
Labor unions are traditionally stalwart supporters of the Democratic Party. They provide financial support and bodies for campaigns and protests. There are no grassroots efforts on the Left, the unions orchestrate it all.
The National Education Association isn’t just any union — it is far and away the largest labor union in the United States. The Democrats are more in thrall to it than any other single union in the country. It’s an unholy alliance that has worked for many decades to pollute the minds of young children and it needs to be destroyed.
We rightfully blame Academia for a lot of problems. However, academics don’t have much work to do with minds that arrive on college campuses after 12 years of indoctrination in the public education system. Professor Commie merely has to put some finishing touches on the kids at that point.
The upper echelon of the teachers’ unions doesn’t give one whit about education, we saw that during COVID. They didn’t care that the kids were falling hopelessly behind. Five years on, those kids are still dealing with the consequences of what the NEA and the American Federation of Teachers did to them.
It’s not going to be easy to take down the teachers’ unions, but every little bit like this helps. Dismantling the Dept. of Education would be a major blow. It is greatly encouraging that President Trump’s desire for real education reform is taking hold in some congressional Republicans. Let’s hope it becomes infectious.
