Episode 90: An Act of War: what the professors of education did to our schools (March 22, 2023)

40 years ago, a congressional commission concluded that our public schools are so bad they might as well be an act of war by an unfriendly foreign power.

The congressional report was titled A Nation at Risk. This is a big deal. It's not some scholar’s opinion. It's not a reconstruction of something far away. It's what the best people in 1983 thought had happened to us. Namely, the wrong people controlled our schools.

The perps were the far-left and the professors of education. They are very skilled at sliding around in the shadows, trying not to leave any traces as they trample to death the very thought of superior public education.

“An unfriendly foreign power. ” And who might that be?? History tells us that the USSR was on the attack internationally as soon as the Russian Revolution was consolidated in 1920. See article: Lenin’s Train Goes Chugging Through American Education.

NB: transmogrification is a wonderfully fancy word that perfectly describes a long complex process by which you transform something mediocre into something excellent or, as in our national tragedy, the opposite.
