I’ve been screaming about the decline of the public education system for many years. Only now are some awakening to the urgency. A few years back I was moonlighting as a security guard for a company that has Apple as an account. I worked in the Grand Central Terminal store, flagship store, very high profile. During slower periods, I would have conversations with the sales associates. And this is when I had this epiphany. I forget how the subject came up, but it was about Apple vs Microsoft. Anyway, this one particular associate told me how Apple was perpetuating the use of their product over the other. They donated Apple computers to schools all over the country. When I questioned as to why such a large, ongoing donation, I was told not for benevolence, rather for future investment. Follow me here. If children used this system in school exclusively, they would ask parents to get it at home. Then when they go to college, they would get an Apple laptop. Then when they start their own business, they would use Apple computers to run said business. Not only would it solidify apple’s bottom line, these new entrepenuers would teach their own children on the same system because that’s what they were taught on and that’s what they know. Translate that to the education/indoctrination system in this country. Slowly the children are taught revisionist history which they believe and then become teachers who teach revisionist history. It’s actually brilliant business model where Apple is concerned and also where progressives are concerned. “Investing in the future”. I hope that made sense, lol. But that’s what made me realize, about 12 or 13 years ago why our country is floundering. The infection inside the education/indoctrination system. Long way to go to make my point, but historically how I awakened.

The impression I've had (from people I've talked to) is that most people that are moving are actually conservatives. The "Leftists" seem happy to stay in the disaster they have helped create. (although they do complain about it)

So, what's going on is the result of a long-planned agenda and deliberate cultivation of complacency. For decades, we trusted the news media outlets to be honest and truthful in their journalism and the days of trust and integrity have LONG gone since even before the 1990's.

Deliberate stupidity has been rewarded while critical thinking and "libertarian" views have been scorned as "conspiracy theory." "Conspiracy Theory" is a psycholinguistic tool that has been used (along with other psy-ops) to tap into the innermost pressure points of individuals: personal feelings. What we "feel" about something may not align with what truly "is." Instead of acknowledging that the "feelings" might be "real" but that they are not based upon facts, feelings have REPLACED facts which is how and why BLM/ANTIFA and contemporary feminism gained so much steam.

Finally.............people are waking up and this began with the covid manipulations when it was very apparent that the prevention and cure for the dreaded, deadly, certainly lethal COVID-19 was rioting. When I was shamed into wearing a mask in public (when I knew that it was useless) and pressured to submit to a solution that had not been adequately tested while rioters in Portland, Seattle, NYC, and other metropolis places could gather in groups and herds without masking up, the narrative began to dissolve.

Public schools are cesspools of misinformation, DISinformation, indoctrination, and degeneracy. Home school. Private school. The NEA needs to be broken. The "public school" systems need to be dismantled and rebuilt, one county at a time, with ZERO influence/acceptance of union standards (pfffffffft). I could go on, and I won't. I'll lose my mind if I do.

I don't want no public education nor thought control for me or my children. I won't bemoan the decline of public education in Kafkaesque Orwellian Carrollian, post-Vonnegut "Amerika". I will laugh. We did send our kids to the publick schools. We have also spent much on tuition for high quality education. There is nothing much else so definitely worth paying money for that returns dividends like education for your kids. Don't be surprised when you see things getting worse, but take care what you support and what you oppose.
