Paying Tuition To Sodom

 By Dr. R. Scott Clark - Posted at The Heidelblog:

In this space I have been very critical of American public education and rightly so. It was a flawed system from its beginnings in the nineteenth century (which probably did a better job of educating students than its intellectual foundations even intended) but which, in the post-World War II era, has utterly collapsed into subjectivism. The public school system was never really intended to educate students as education was classically understood. The true purpose of public education was to create conformity with the status quo. In the nineteenth century, the intent was to make cultural Protestants out of Roman Catholic immigrants. In the early twenty first century, however, its function is to create obedient, postmodern Marxists, and it is succeeding very well.

The American public school system is also manifestly a hunting ground for sexual predators. This is beyond dispute. The evidence is in the news every day. For whatever reasons (ideological, political, union influence) this scandal does not receive the coverage it warrants, but in time, when it is possible to aggregate local news stories, we need not rely on the national media any longer.

There are some reasons for mild optimism about the future of education in America. As we have seen in the news, during Covid, parents found out what was happening in America’s classrooms and there was a revolt. Blue Virginia voted in a Republican governor who ran on cleaning up the schools, and school boards across the nation were so frightened by angry parents showing up to their meetings that they and the teachers’ unions unleashed the FBI on parents. That is a good sign but it is not enough.

Private schools are an obvious alternative to the mess that is the public school system, but private schools are not without their problems. As I am writing, Project Veritas is featuring a story about a dean of a Chicago private school who instructing students, in detail, in sexual perversion. Warning: The topics covered are quite graphic.
