American Education
and Intellectually
Bankrupt Schools
By Dr. Everett Piper
IN
A RECENT Washington Times column, titled Is
San Francisco the Future of America?, Lee Edwards,
a distinguished fellow at the B. Kenneth Simon Center for
Principles and Politics at The Heritage Foundation, asked,
“What has happened? Why is America slouching like some
rough beast—not toward Bethlehem but Gomorrah?”
This is a question we hear almost every day. “How did this
happen so quickly?” It is as if we have awakened from what
we thought was a bad dream only to find that the nightmare
is real. What in the world happened? How did we get in this
mess? Intuitively we all know something is wrong.
Our culture seems to have lost its mind, lost its soul, and
lost its way.
Politicians who can’t tell us that a woman is real claim to
be pro-woman.
A Congress that pretends to champion human rights tells
us a child who is one second from exiting the birth canal is
not human and has no rights.
Millions of millennials claim that socialism is good, in
spite of more than 100 million people being murdered at the
hands of socialists.
Precocious adolescent girls claim to be frozen in fear
because the globe is “warming.”
Pedantic professors claim to be proponents of open inqui-
ry while they silence all dissent and all inquiry. They demand
14
academic freedom for themselves while they silence all who
dare disagree. Intellectual liberty is crushed. Ideological
fascism is king.
Feminists deny the feminine.
Liars deceive while condemning those who lie.
Colluders condemn collusion while they collude.
Arrogant athletes claim America is bad and China is
good. They besmirch Madison while deifying Mao. They
empathize with Antifa while maligning those fighting for
freedom in Hong Kong. They bow to the red and yellow of
a communist regime while they kneel in protest before the
red, white, and blue of our constitutional republic.
An entire generation smugly tells us that they can’t toler-
ate our intolerance and that they hate hateful people. With
zero self-awareness, they double-down on dumb and shout
that they are sure nothing is sure, that they know nothing
can be known, and they are absolutely confident there are
no absolutes.
Media talking-heads pander to the rainbow cabal.
Posturing as proponents of science, they ignore the
elementary facts of biology. Claiming to be “smarter-than-
thou,” they conflate love with sex as if they have sex with
everyone they love. They listen to poorly informed chil-
dren and ignore thoughtful adults. They deny God while
worshiping themselves.
Progressive mayors smile smugly because of the number
of homeless they have in their streets while they condemn
conservatives for creating the homeless and not granting
more taxes to stop crime now rampant on every street.
Sidewalks are littered with human feces in the name of
human rights. Children dodge dirty needles while walking
to schools that teach them nothing is wrong and nothing
is right.
How did we get here? The answer is simple. The blame lies
with education.
