point they have nightmares over their parent's transportation choices. It is entirely commonplace for children to be thoroughly brainwashed into believing conservative political figures are worse than the frightening specters of Satan and monsters once promoted by the seventeenth century Church. In the past election cycle, nearly all elementary school children were exhorted in liberal election politics by their so-called "mainstream" teachers to the point children attempted to force their parents to vote Democrat-causing concern among even parents whose political views coincided. Oddly, this election cycle, "old people", with "grey hair" were specifically singled out to these children as objects of derision, distrust and incompetence: what better way to disrupt familial and generational cohesiveness, traditions and loyalties? Horrified parents, when they find out and complain, are called "backward" or "religious nuts" and the child is further singled out for "remedial" attitude-changing activities to "overcome" their parent's regressive moral and ethical stances.

The consequence of such poor methodology has led to declining test scores and a loss of the United States' former high standing in academics. When, in a misguided attempt to right the wrongs in the classroom politicians decree testing to assure mastery of key subjects, it simply causes even more disconnect between what the school actually teaches and what students are expected to "know". Many teachers solve their time-constraint dilemma by teaching so-called "social justice" precepts during the day and leaving the academics to mounds of unexplained homework children are expected to muddle through on their own. Some few children actually appear to be learning by osmosis, or a caring teacher who is willing to sneak around the obstacles put in her way to actually facilitate learning. Other times, parents finally realize their child is becoming educationally disadvantaged simply by attending such dysfunctional classrooms and take it upon themselves to fill in the gaps of their child's education. Because so many children cannot learn in such a dysfunctional environment and because required testing reveals the massive failures, children who don't manage to succeed in spite of the obstacles are encouraged to opt-out of the public school system so as to keep test scores up by controlling the averages.

Analysis of the covert reasoning behind all of this "re-education of the masses" is beyond the scope of this article. An understanding of what this is and how it came to be can be gained by reading Charlotte Iyserbyt's "Deliberate Dumbing Down of America"-available free to read online. Further explanation of this bizarre phenomenon can be garnered from a reading of Beverly Eakman's "Cloning of The American Mind: Eradicating Morality Through Education." What ever it is-and whatever the reason, basic education is not the goal in most schools and classrooms. Our children are being cheated out of one of the fundamental rights of living in America-the right to a basic education. These children aren't the first victims of the newly-politicized system. They're the second generation. Out classroom teachers were the first.
