One aspect of corrosive liberalism that gets little attention is what it has done to the relationships between parents and their children. We get a reams of material on WASL, class sizes, student sloth, and other lame excuses for expanding NEA/WEA's obscene, seditious taxing power, but nothing is mentioned about how the educational system has poisoned the parent-child relationship.
Many older parents I know are now confronted with the results of decades of classroom-fostered rebellion against their values, their generation, their God, and their nation: Their kids have become pathological. This is not an accident.
Years ago I took a course in Education Philosophy from a Harvard PhD who was in charge of superindentent certification. He told the class that their curricula should be based in large part on the teachings of Marx and Freud. This dangerous man then said that parents were an impediment to proper education and that we should work for the day when no child would know who their parents were. There are many "educators" like him who, since the sixties, have infiltrated top levels.
Resultantly, we are now confronted with intergenerational estrangement. The wisdom we received from previous generations is no longer acceptable to many of our children, because they have been indoctrinated to reject us. Like abortion has physically killed an entire generation, alienation indoctrination has killed the transmission of civilization's survival archetypes to most of those who survived. We have allowed this chain of life to be broken.
