The following is directly related to the corruption of the Dept of Education, being part of the cause of the gradual generational decay of general intelligence & literacy in the population.
Corruption in the Dept of Education runs DEEP and has been engineered against America for a LONG TIME.
John Taylor Gatto was one of the most celebrated educators of New York City, with a career spanning over 30 years. He got a very clear view of how the Education system was deliberately degraded over time, and ended up resigning from his public prestige as an educator, to essentially whistleblow and vent his utter dismay through his books & interviews. No surprise that MSM never publicized his regrets, his whistles nor his warnings.
The linked interview is long, but the information is profound and gives a very clear insight into the horrendous effects the education system has had on generations of youth. Many of our social problems are linked to this. Worth the watch, especially if you have children in these terrible institutions that largely force parents to give their children up to them under threat of legal violence.
Also look up Charlotte Iserbyt, she was a Dept of Education admin who tried to prevent a deliberate alteration to the education system & curriculum back when Reagan was president, alterations made deliberately, complete with attempts at coverup, that she saw clearly would cause tremendous damage to society.
Finally, dig into Horace Mann, who picked up the original structure of our education system from Prussia, whose own system was designed to mould children into unquestioning subjects of the czar.
And don't even get me started on the EVIL of Common Core, which Bill & Melinda Gates promote and help fund, yet refuse to allow their own children to be subjected to.
