Been thinking about metastatic cancer. I have a couple, one that lately fractured a femur, and another in my humerus on the same (left) side, which strikes me as funny. Geddit?
But what about social metastases?
Here's one.
In the 1960s, the United States Supreme Court effectively redefined the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to remove religious influence from public schools. That's the cancer.
Today, rather than being taught basic skills, elementary school kids are being invited to explore their own pronouns, which they likely can't even spell. That's the metastasis.
This isn't intended as a blanket condemnation of teachers, but rather of the administrative environment in which they're compelled to work...and, yes please pay attention to school board elections!
Can you think of other examples?
Sylvia likes being a 'she'. Thinks it makes her scarier.
School ain't what it used to be. My hat's off to all those educators out there, starting with my son-in-law and my granddaughter. It's not a task for the fainthearted.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Linda. The stories we have heard from our neighbours about their kids' experiences...and they are now homeschooling.
DeleteI feel so sad for students, parents, and teachers for what they must endure. Our friend in Texas was part of a group that canvassed their district with literature that showed the exact literature their schools were teaching about sex education. It took two elections, but they totally changed the school board and removed the porn sex education.
ReplyDeleteEducation is definitely in need of reformation, Andrew.
