First Epistle to the Righteous

Chapter 1. – Education

The leftist liars have taken over education by destroying it. In colleges and universities liberal arts degree programs no longer have the rigor and discipline that true scholarship demands. As much time is spent in political discourse and idea swapping as is spent on true subject matter. Many schools grant degrees in areas that are patently ridiculous. Even those engaged in seeking degrees in the sciences are continually bombarded by the leftist ideas of their peers and professors. All in all, higher education has become more and more dedicated to imparting liberal ideas and less concerned with conveying knowledge.

Yet the greatest travesty may be the ‘Schools of Education.’ These are where the liberals train the teachers for all of America’s elementary and secondary schools. Back in the sixties schools started admitting less qualified students into their education programs. These students could not have gained admission into other degree programs. To help ensure the collegiate success of these students, the degree requirements were lowered. Less math, science and foreign language were and are required for degrees in education than in other disciplines. For at least five decades the ironic motto in America’s colleges and universities has been “Education means graduation!” Millions of teachers have been sent to our elementary and secondary schools with little grasp of the subjects they will teach, but with a firm grounding in leftist ideology.

These millions of teachers are mostly members of teachers unions. These unions, particularly the National Education Association (NEA), have seen to it that state legislatures have passed laws requiring that teachers have degrees in education for certification. It matters not how great an individual’s qualifications in the subject matter may be, he or she must be certified. This means that Albert Einstein would not be certified to teach algebra. Stephen Hawking couldn’t be a certified instructor in basic science. A Justice of the Supreme Court can’t teach civics – at least not as a certified, and thus higher paid, instructor. In the main the left has seen to it that for almost two generations our schools have been staffed with the mediocre who are dependent on them for their continued employment. School administration has expanded exponentially in recent decades. The salaries are high, and the power enormous. The administrators are primarily elite leftists who decide on hiring, promotion and curriculum.

Why have the leftists destroyed education? Simple – they need a general populace that is as stupid and unquestioning as possible - a populace that knows little of history and economics and therefore cannot question the lies. Proof of this contention is the miserable state of education in our country. Millions of young people go to school for years and even graduate. When they come out they have no verbal, mathematical, manual, or social skills. They have no discipline or sense of duty. About all these dunces know is that they have rights that entitle them.

First Epistle to the Righteous, Introduction

The Bob’s First Epistle to the Righteous

Introduction

“The good are a danger to the corrupt. So it is now; so it has always been.”
Attributed to Saint Patrick

There are really no practical differences among the political philosophies of those who claim to be democratic, or liberal, or leftist, or socialist, or communist. The ultimate goal of all these corrupt belief systems is to force the individual to submit to the will, falsely called the ‘good,’ of the majority. My hope in these letters is to tell the story of evil to those who are not corrupt…who are righteous…who are good. Perhaps, if God is listening to good people and helps them, they may unite, destroy the evil, and take back the freedom God long ago gave.

The left in the United States has done an amazing job of insidiously disguising their methods and goals while steadily taking over our society and our politics. Their movement began accelerating shortly after the heavy-handed anti-Communists of the early fifties were either discredited or faded away. Leftists had long had their strongest base amongst those teaching at America’s colleges and universities. From the 1920s they had been strong in the private schools of the northeast. Through the last century the students of the red professors in the northeast became the majority of teachers at virtually all institutions of higher learning, public and private, in every state. Now, at the beginning of the 21st century, American undergraduate students are being ‘educated’ almost exclusively by those who are democratic, liberal, leftist, socialist, and communist. If this were the only area that these evil people controlled, the tragedy would be great. They have taken over teaching at all levels. They own the Democrat party. They have significant influence in the Republican party. They control most of the print and broadcast media. It is horrifyingly conceivable that within a short time the evil left will have a level of control that will mean the end of freedom.

In the following chapters I shall outline the evidence of how the evil of the left is worming its way into every facet of Americans’ public and private lives. You will learn how they seek to control your life and your mind. If they cannot control you, they are confident that they can control your children and grandchildren. The evil are patient. If the present left cannot yet fully exert their power over us, they will do all they can to see to it that their aim of total control is achieved in a later generation.

Why do the leftists want what they want and do what they do? At bottom the sole motive is greed. No, not greed for money, but greed for power. Dictatorship and tyranny have become almost impossible in the modern world for an individual or small group of individuals. The horrors of Hitler and Stalin have put most of the world on guard against their ilk. The modern left uses this fear as a weapon. They would have us believe that their ideas are protection against the chains of tyranny and dictators. The truth is that the chains of the left will be far stronger, and their rule will be far more oppressive.
