It’s Friday, January 20th, 2023…but before we begin,\u00a0<\/strong>in honor of the great Thomas Sowell, we offer one brief, random thought on the passing Progressive scene, inspired by a meme from Ed Hickey…<\/strong><\/p>\n

…and a scene from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We inserted the words which appear on the blackboard behind Jimmy Stewart for clarity: Education is the basis of not only law and order, but our understanding of anything, including the very knowledge of the saving grace of Jesus Christ.\u00a0 As Paul wrote in Romans 10:14:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?<\/em>“<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Annie Holmquist noted in a May, 2022 commentary<\/em><\/span><\/a>, control and ignorance are the goals of public education:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“As author and scholar\u00a0Steven Rummelsberg notes on a recent podcast<\/a><\/span>, \u201cThe whole program, honestly, in the public schools, is meant to put a divide between the family and the child, the parents and the child.\u201d The system is designed for that, he says, in order to separate children from the parental values which are at odds with the government\u2019s social engineering. \u201cThere\u2019s literally a concerted effort from [John] Dewey on to inculcate the values of the state, such that the children belong to the state and no longer to the parents,\u201d he concludes<\/em>.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

Here’s the juice: There is a direct link between the sources of lawlessness sweeping America, be it Antifa<\/em><\/span><\/a>, Black Lies Matter or our disintegrating urban centers, and the deliberate dumbing down and indoctrination of generations of young people.\u00a0 Only the truth will set us free.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, here’s The Gouge<\/em>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

First up, consider this installment of\u00a0<\/strong>the Sports Section<\/em><\/span>, in which you can wonder along with us WTF is wrong with the National Hockey League?!?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI respect everybody and I respect everybody\u2019s choices. My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion.\u201d<\/p>\n
