Colorado State University guide.

For example words that are non inclusive like America or Americans.

Or the phrase “rule of thumb” which is demeaning to women. Oh dang I can’t say women.

The thing is, they are winning in this. They have captured the educational system and from the first grade on they pound these ridiculous ideas into our children.

The big question is: What can we do to turn this pollution of ideas that our children are being indoctrinated with, around?

To be honest with you, I have no idea. I feel as though my time has passed and I am not liking the new times. About all I can do is to tell these people to "GET OFF MY GRASS".

Teach your children to read and how to think logically. That is how they will learn to think for themselves and make rational decisions. The parents, not the teachers, are responsible for educating their children.

Geoge Orwell warned us, but we didn't pay attention. When you control the language you control the people. It started when they stopped us from calling folks Negroes and Caucasian or when we couldn't call folks homosexuals but language once not accepted a vulgar becomes commonplace. When not being offended became a right even more important than the right to speak out. We watched the elitist slowly take control of our language and we complied.

Do whatever it takes to get your children or grandchildren out of the public indoctrination system and homeschool them

Who would have ever thought that 1984 would be so prophetic?

:iagree: Teach your children the right way but make sure they learn how to socialize with other children. So they do not get manipulated by people when they get out in the real world.
