Hearing Without Hearing #3

The government-controlled education system has entered into the field of thought control as well. The infamous Critical Race Theory, coupled with the Common Core curriculum, has opened the way for literally everything to be redefined so as to align with politically-acceptable positions. Consider the following from the book Hollowed Out: A Warning about America’s Next Generation, Jeremy Adams writes about American youth:

They [speaking of youth] are shockingly ignorant about the world’s major religions and stridently secular in their morality, and they assign little value to the “great books” of Western civilization or to Western liberal values or to the Judeo-Christian tradition; this, too, is part of their nihilism. They live largely solitary lives, inextricably connected to their phones but largely disconnected from parents, churches, and communities. Instead, they eat alone, they study alone, they even socialize alone in a virtual world untethered to the physical. They are often friendless and depressed, which explains why they harm themselves and commit suicide at a rate unrivaled in American history—

Because the educational system has left young people poorly grounded in basic skill areas (reading and writing, even public speaking), they are not adequately equipped to make lasting and meaningful decisions. Their entire educational experience has resulted in them becoming more pessimistic and isolated, and many of them just “don’t care” about all those things that so significantly affected their parents and grandparents. When paired with the emasculation of the family as a values cultivator, this educational propaganda machine drives youth to either decide that life is not worth living, or to just align with the never-ending flow of false outrage via the mainstream Media (and social media especially).

In his discussion of the significance of the Family, David Mamet identifies the following area of concern in The Secret Knowledge: On the Dismantling of American Culture:

Written rules and laws are only and can only be codifications of the unwritten rules which precede them. These unwritten codes of behavior have been worked out over millennia. The child learns them through constant observation, not through indoctrination. The child who has not been exposed or subject to these rules (treat your elders with respect, take care of your possessions, always defend your family members, do not bring bad companions into the house, never speak ill of or to your family, etc.) may come to think them arbitrary (cf. my generation of the sixties), and endeavor to create rules of his own, based upon his reason, which is and can only be (to a child) a conveniently self-excusatory name for his desires: copulate freely, do not marry, do not respect, but mistrust all authority, demand governmental support, base political choices upon feelings rather than experience, do not bother to learn a trade, et cetera.

Once we set aside family cultivation of norms and values and replace it with government/media driven redefinition of literally everything, we have opened Pandora’s box. Now literally everything goes; nothing is exempted from the redefinition process.

Remember: We are moving toward a discussion of the Enemy's grand strategy...setting things up so that Christians will hear without hearing.
