At Teachers Union Convention, Indoctrination Eclipses Education - Intellectual Takeout
...From what I observed, the NEA’s goal is for public education to be a training ground for political activism, while demonizing anyone—including students and their families—who does not share those same political and sociological beliefs.
- As a teacher, I attended the National Education Association convention last week, and my worst fears were confirmed...
- It was also evident that the teachers union is a lobbying arm of the Democratic Party.

Harvard Law School Instructor Calls for Harassment of Supreme Court Justices
Harvard Law School Instructor Calls for Harassment of Supreme Court Justices:
As more on the left call for aggressive protests and public confrontations, this harassment is more and more likely to turn violent. There are many unbalanced individuals who will see such calls as a license for violent action. A justice or judge should not have to put his or her family at risk to serve on our courts. These academics are fueling a sense of mob justice that will cause untold harm to our judicial system and the rule of law.
Frightening: This Description of the Decline of Rome sounds like America - Intellectual Takeout
Frightening: This Description of the Decline of Rome sounds like America - Intellectual Takeout
- The date traditionally assigned to the Fall of the Roman Empire is 476 A.D., when Odoacer marched on Rome and deposed the last emperor.
- But Rome’s internal decline began long before then. As Will Durant famously said, “A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within.”
The signs listed in the following paragraph eerily mirror some of the same things America is currently struggling with:
“...long before the invasions of the reign of Honorius, the fabric of Roman society and administration was honeycombed by moral and economic vices, which made the belief in the eternity of Rome a vain delusion.
“...long before the invasions of the reign of Honorius, the fabric of Roman society and administration was honeycombed by moral and economic vices, which made the belief in the eternity of Rome a vain delusion.
- The municipal system, once the great glory of Roman organising power, had in the fourth century fallen almost into ruin.
- ...At the same time, the upper class were increasing in wealth and power...were aided by the tyranny and venality of the officials of the treasury...
- And while the aristocratic class were becoming more selfish, and the civil service more oppressive and corrupt, the central government was growing feebler..."
...Hmmm… It sounds all too familiar.

Eva Vlaardingerbroek Summarizes all the Merging Food, Energy and Farming Issues with Stark Advice to Americans - The Last Refuge
