The rays from this beacon, lighting this gateway to the continent, will welcome the poor and the persecuted with the hope and promise of homes and citizenship. It will teach them that there is room and brotherhood for all who will support our institutions and aid in our development; but that those who come to disturb our peace and dethrone our laws are aliens and enemies forever.

Between Critical Race Theory (CRT), the rewriting of history, pro-Chinese propaganda, “teaching” to the lowest common denominator, and the sexual predators, i.e., #Groomers, that have infiltrated our education system, there’s a lot of sickness in our schools. Parents need to be aware of the symptoms.

Mr. Whitlock has the right of it, perhaps a deeper and broader right of it than he intended. While it’s fairly obvious that he was speaking to the “Black Community” and a few other group that intersect with them, his words and assertion is true across the breadth of the Civilized World. Villages – especially angry, hate-filled villages of failures – can’t raise stable children with the hope of a decent life. It takes parents – IMHO at least two of them and of both genders – who make the commitment to instilling, both by word and deed, ethics and morality into those children. Anything else, and pretty much everything that Liberals, Progressives, and their minority sharecroppers keep demanding and promulgating, leads to children growing up confused, angry, and dealing with long-term effects of a lifetime of systemic abuse.
In point of sad fact, the village is more and more often these days set to destroy a child’s wellbeing and future, instead of raising said child to be healthy, happy, and a good citizen. It takes parents to protect the children from the village, its ways, and what the villages want to turn the child into.

If you’re both wise and committed to raising children who will think for themselves and not be afraid about making their choices in life, raise them to think for themselves. Raise them to refuse the false limits of the choices what passes for teachers these days will always present them. 😉
Remember, the most basic and pernicious form of what passes for our school system’s indoctrination of America’s youth is their deliberate miseducation of choices. They always present a limited set of “correct” answers, and they always expect and demand that students abide by these limitations.
Teach your children, especially your sons, to reject this tyranny and to choose what and/or what set of answers are right for them.

Funny, delightfully sarcastic, but also very sadly and not unexpectedly true. The Western aphorism, “shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations” and the Chinese proverb, “Wealth does not last beyond three generations” exist for a reason. That reason being that they’ve been proven to be true.
And those of old enough to be part of the “Ass Whooping” Generation are somewhat to blame for what our grandchildren in this “Time Out” Generation have degenerated into, as are our children from the “You’re Grounded” Generation. Our parents raised us to succeed. We raised our children in that success. And they raised there’s to feel entitled by it.
And no, before anyone comments, there is no profundity in this on my part. It’s prosaic to the point of triteness. And yet, it needs to be repeated since every generation seems shocked by how badly our grandchildren turn out.

And, as so often babies are described as being cherubic in appearance, here’s the Christians’ Bible’s description of the Cherubim:
(10) And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. (11) When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went. (12) And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had. (13) As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel. (14) And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
Perhaps it would be better and less horrifying to biblical scholars to say that she looked like a little Putto. 🙂
And yes, girl child or not, please do call them Putto-esque, even though the word technically means boy toddler. Given the gender suffixes in Italian, it’s probably best not to use the female form. 😆
