Today in American history, we step closer to fascism.


Recommended Posts

When public universities require students to take leftist social justice classes in order to graduate, is that fascism? The University of Chicago just said it won't admit any students into its post-grad Engliish program unless the students pledge to study black lit. Is that fascist? Do you want to fight on this hill?

@LiquidYeah, actually I had this article saved from about 3 weeks ago.

 

And he straight wants to establish right-wing Trump education programs.

Education

Trump demands 'patriotic education' in U.S. schools

Children must be taught that America is “an exceptional, free and just nation, worth defending, preserving and protecting,” he said.

President Donald Trump said Monday that the nation must restore “patriotic education” in schools as a way to calm unrest in cities and counter “lies” about racism in the United States.

 

Trump blamed violent protests in Portland, Ore., and other cities in recent months on “left-wing indoctrination” in schools and universities, while accusing his Democratic presidential challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden, of giving “moral aid and comfort” to vandals.

 

“Many young Americans have been fed lies about America being a wicked nation plagued by racism,” Trump said during a news conference. “Indeed, Joe Biden and his party spent their entire convention spreading this hateful and destructive message while refusing to say one word about the violence.”

 

Trump’s solution: Children must be taught that America is “an exceptional, free and just nation, worth defending, preserving and protecting,” he said.

 

Democrats are unable, he said, to control a “radical left, crazy movement."

 

“The only path to unity is to rebuild a shared national identity focused on common American values and virtues of which we have plenty,” he said. “This includes restoring patriotic education in our nation's schools, where they are trying to change everything that we have learned.”

 

Key context: “Teach American Exceptionalism” is one of two education goals listed on Trump’s second-term “Fighting for You!” agenda released ahead of the president's acceptance of his party's nomination during the Republican National Convention last week.

 

Decisions about curriculum are made at the state and local level, and Trump's second-term agenda does not detail his path for achieving that education focus.

 

Shortly before becoming a candidate in 2015, Trump decried the idea of American exceptionalism. But the GOP 2016 platform, which will remain in place for 2020, describes the concept as “the notion that our ideas and principles as a nation give us a unique place of moral leadership in the world.”

 

Biden’s response: “I urge the President to join me in saying that while peaceful protest is a right — a necessity — violence is wrong, period," Biden said in a statement responding to Trump's remarks. "No matter who does it, no matter what political affiliation they have. Period. If Donald Trump can't say that, then he is unfit to be President, and his preference for more violence — not less — is clear.”

 

 

Did Saucer seriously try to make the comparison that grown adults, who choose their own classes in college, who are allowed to walk out of any class at any time they want, are being forcefully "indoctrinated"??????

 

Comparing that to putting Trump's education into public education where children have to go to school everyday and paid for on the taxpayer's dime entirely?

 

Wait a minute: was Saucer's example the University of Chicago, which is a COMPLETELY PRIVATE University?

 

They've also have a FOREIGN LANGUAGE requirement in place for years, to prove that they are proficient in more than one language. I guess by his logic, they have a globalist fascist agenda as well.

 

LOL. His arguments are getting weaker everyday.

And the degree is in learning everything in Literature, English Literature, which includes Black Literature, since its part of that entire subject.

This is how you think college works? That someone studying physics or history or chemistry not only studies all the sub-fields in those disciplines, they're experts in all of them -- they literally know everything about the discipline? LOL! 

 

Do you even have a high school degree? Seriously.

Yeah.

 

Especially for getting a Masters or a Doctorate in a particular field.

 

You kinda have to learn.................everything, about said subject in order for you to obtain its highest degree.

 

How is Black Literature not part of English Literature.

 

I'll wait for your explanation (or you attempt to escape).
