Open Minds And a Good Education

“We should have never gone in there,” and “Yeah, like Fox-News is ‘unbiased’”. While at first glance this may sound like political jargon about Iraq and the perceived notion of Fox-News’ apparent “right” leaning rhetoric and line up, I would advise you to think about another place you may hear this liberal speak. Media outlets? Definitely. Democratic Party convention? Most likely. However, I take these quotes directly from somewhere else. These quotes, (exact quotes by the way) come from an English professor at the college I attend. I won’t get into how much opinion-time she takes in her classes, but I can tell you it’s been mentioned or implied more than once. You know, it’s funny. The Democrats are all about lowering college tuition right now. Now don’t get me wrong, I’d love to be taking out less amounts of loans to pay for school, but I can promise you the agenda behind the agenda is not one they want you to hear about. The public school/education system is a liberal breeding ground, starting in the elementary school system. (Don’t believe me? Read on.)
Lets start at the most obvious level: public universities. Now, as I said, I’m all for paying lower tuition. That would be great. And the Democrats will begin to you tell you a bit of their agenda, but not the whole thing. The goal here is, get more people to college. That’s it right? A solid education is the foundation of a good life. Well, a solid education at a public university is the foundation for a future democrat too. Most college bound students and entering freshman probably haven’t spent a lot of time interested in politics. Again, I say most. However, I would go out on a limb and say 85 – 90% don’t have much of an idea of what party stands for what issues. Here, at a public university, science is god. In my geology 100 class (which almost every student is forced to take in order to graduate), the mere thought of a higher power seems to be completely forgotten or ignored. Not only in the required texts, but not even mentioned in class as a possible theory. Granted, an education setting is probably not the place for faith-based preaching, but the fact that it is not even mentioned once or considered seems odd to me, considering studies show over 80% of America believe in God. So what you may say? One class, which is science based, doesn’t pander to the “religious right”. How about the communication professor who shows the psycho-music video that has made rounds on the internet titled “Keep Your Jesus Off My Penis.” Oh yes, believe it. I’ll post just the chorus of the song:

Keep your Jesus off my penis,Keep your Bible off my balls,Keep your prayers from out my earsAnd your crosses off my walls!You can keep the Virgin Mother,And the resurrection too!Keep your Jesus off my penis,I’ll keep my penis offa you!
You can read the entire text and see the video anywhere on the internet. Just type it into your Google search bar and it will return multiple hits. Then, there are the Liberal Arts professors. Need I say more? So how biased can a college campus be you ask? Example: In my 2nd year English class, the teacher set up a debate on the Bush-Doctrine (again, Google it if you want the text). He allowed us to choose which side we represented, pro or anti. Results? There might have been 7 or 8 of us pro-Bush Doctrine, and close to 25 that were anti. Again, I’m not sayin’ but…I’m just sayin’. Walk around a college campus and take a poll if you must. The Secular Progressive agenda has absolutely taken hold of public universities. How did it happen? Well, because they throw words around like “open-minded” and “good education”, and how can you be against those things? I mean, you are obviously a bad person if you refuse to be open-minded and pro-good education! Well, let’s take a look at what open-minded is. How about this survey handed out recently in a Psychology 101 class (again, a class nearly all freshmen are required to take to graduate.)

Now, if taking a survey in a college class about whether I’ve experimented with the same gender or how my sex-life is going seems a bit ridiculous to me and I am not considered open-minded, then I guess I’m not open-minded. Now, you think this survey is bad at a college-education level? Try this.
In Bill O’Reilly’s new book “Culture Warrior”, he details a survey given to elementary students in a California school in Los Angeles County. A survey was given to students that were between 7 and 10 years old. You want the questions? I’ll give you one, you can read Culture Warrior if you want the whole story. Question 2 of their survey, (keeping in mind these kids are 7-10 years old) was how much they “think about having sex”. Then, of course, the ACLU go on to rule against the parents who found that this was outrageous and explain that parents don’t have the sole right to educate their children on sexual relationships and situations, but again, check out Culture Warrior and O’Reilly gives you the big picture, and gives the SP’s a well-deserved thumping. But that isn’t the point of the blog here. I’m trying to explain something to you, the reader. I see it every day. I hear it in my classes. There is a major, major thing occurring that I don’t think people realize is happening. Let me lay this out for you as best I can.
Education is great. I am not attempting to downplay the importance of learning and going to school, and if anyone says I am doing this to have an argument against liberals then you are completely misreading the whole situation. I am trying to point out to you the road America is going down. I want every person who reads this, every student who reads this, every parent who reads this to see something. There is a far-left agenda, and they start it in the schools. The sexual awareness of 7 year olds is apparently an important thing to the far left and the ACLU. And, it seems that it is important to take surveys in college about if I’ve ever “Kissed or had a sexual experiences with someone of the same sex.” I won’t go into the results of that college-survey that dropped my jaw to the floor as it would yours I’m sure. But this is where we are headed. The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and hundreds of other main-stream media/news outlets would have you believe that I am the bad person for being against this, that I am not “open-minded” as I mentioned earlier, and that I must not understand how important it is for young children to be subjugated to these types of surveys. The famous saying for my generation (and younger) is “You are the future leaders of this country.” If that’s true, then I really really hope that the country is ready for something they don’t even see coming, and that many, many parents are funding this left-agenda without even realizing it. I’m fairly confident parents are unaware of what their students are hearing, at least from college professors. And, if you ask the ACLU, they don’t have the right to say what their students hear at their public-elementary schools. If you think I’m way off base here, just go sit in a Liberal Arts class for a week, or a communication class for a week, or read about the ACLU backing the far-left agenda in elementary schools. But, just a fore-warning, there may be music videos that offend you…but how dare you be offended, the agenda is a “good education” and “open-mindedness” agenda! Yeahhhhhhh…… - AJW
