A very important insight into the worldview philosophy behind public schools was just revealed in Lisa Mascaro’s article “How a liberal Santa Monica high school produced a top Trump advisor and speechwriter,” Los Angels Times, January 17, 2017 AD.
By the way, I wonder if she will follows that one up with another titled, “How a liberal Santa Monica high school produced thousands of unethical, illiterate, drug addicted, STD suffering, single parents who cannot support themselves with a “do you want fries with that?” Mc-job.
The article regards Stephen Miller who became a speech writer for Donald Trump. Now, some may consider this a considerable accomplishment and some not yet, that is not the point.
The point is that in delving into his background, the article quotes current Rep. Julia Brownley (D-Westlake Village) who when Miller was in school was the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District’s board president.
Rep. Brownley noted that he would attend “events in coat and tie — ‘unlike any other student’ — to argue against special treatment for immigrants and others.”
Rep. Brownley specifies something very specific regarding what which she (they) saw (see) as the role of public schools, “He had very conservative views — the exact opposite of what we were trying to accomplish in the school district.”
Conservatism is “the exact opposite” of that which the tax payer funded public schools (plural as this was about the whole district) “we were trying to accomplish.”
Thus, she just admitted that in her (their) view tax payer funded school is not, I repeat NOT, merely about mathematics, science, history, languages, etc. but about bias, about activism, about promulgating a certain socio-political worldview philosophy, about producing a certain kind of citizen: it is about indoctrinating a captive audience of children who are still developing their discernment skills with propaganda towards an intended end.
In fact, note that the article was titled, “a liberal Santa Monica high school” but how could a school possibly be liberal or conservative when they are tax payer funded and Federally mandated? Because some view access to children as a platform from which to preach that which they will.
