I met with some just a few weeks ago regarding a school near me, a Catholic girl's school, where a form of 'safe school's program' is being introduced. <br /><br />We shall see what transpires.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-40715216176461910992018-04-21T19:40:30.376+10:002018-04-21T19:40:30.376+10:00It is the schools and their staffs who implement t...<em>It is the schools and their staffs who implement the rubbishing of curriculum. They should be named. Their addresses could get passed around. Their homes could be picketed. They could be held accountable by angry parents.</em><br /><br />It all comes down to a point I'm always pushing - conservatives always lose because they fight as individuals. SJWs win because they hunt in packs. <br /><br />Your suggestions would work if a significant number of parents adopted those tactics but in practice no more than a tiny handful would actually do anything, and that tiny handful would be easily destroyed. They'd be arrested and imprisoned.<br /><br />Civil disobedience can be very effective but it requires organised disciplined collective action. Social conservatives are neither organised nor disciplined and they think that collective action is socialism so they won't do it.<br /><br />The SJWs won the culture war because social conservatives failed to mount any effective resistance. It's easy to win a war when your enemy is either unable or unwilling to fight back. dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-53003186104728928662018-04-21T19:32:02.120+10:002018-04-21T19:32:02.120+10:00You are right about the majority, but 'twas ev...<em>You are right about the majority, but 'twas ever thus.</em><br /><br />It's true that most people have always been lazy and apathetic but the worrying thing today is that the non-apathetic minority seems to be getting smaller and smaller.<br /><br /><em>And is it 'society' that we do not care about? Individualism would point to protecting our own at individual level. Our kids.</em><br /><br />You'd think so. But the evidence suggests that most parents really don't care at all about their own kids. <br /><br />Or, a perhaps more sinister explanation, most parents are happy to see their children indoctrinated into political obedience and celebration of degeneracy because that's the best way for them to get ahead.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-13434003862895363692018-04-21T16:12:05.855+10:002018-04-21T16:12:05.855+10:00You are right about the majority, but 'twas ev...You are right about the majority, but 'twas ever thus. It is up to the minority with IQs above room temperature to turn their heat on the schools, and the Principals and the teachers.

They either can't see the problem, or they don't see it as a problem. Or possibly they're too scared to protest - they don't care enough to risk social disapproval by taking a stand.<br /><br />But mostly they just don't care. The fatal weakness of our civilisation is individualism. We don't see ourselves as members of a society with responsibilities and duties towards that society. We're just individuals and therefore selfishness seems like the most sensible choice. Nobody stands up to the teachers or the education departments or the politicians because that might entail some inconvenience or some work, or even some slight risk, and why bother doing that for the sake of society if you don’t believe in society?<br />dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-89964046967208827892018-04-21T05:54:08.631+10:002018-04-21T05:54:08.631+10:00Great delivery.
