In the late 80’s, Will Smith made his career with the hit, “Parents Just Don’t Understand” but today the hip-hop and Hollywood superstar’s son is making headlines over his criticisms of the government education system.
School Is The Tool To Brainwash The Youth.
— Jaden Smith (@officialjaden) September 12, 2013
Jaden Smith, Will Smith’s son, is himself now homeschooled and represents a growing unrest among mainstream thinkers in regard to the failure of socialized government schooling.
Here in California our state is literally going broke trying to fix government education by throwing more money onto the fire. For decades the teachers, parents, and education unions have promised that more money would equal a higher quality education. Billions of dollars and programs from both Democrats and Republicans have failed. Both Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” and Obama’s “Race to the Top” proved of no benefit to the dying education system.
Today, Dr. Ron Paul released his newest book entitled, “The School Revolution: A New Answer for Our Broken Education System.”
Where the Twelve-term Texas Congressman, Presidential candidate, and Liberty-minded bulwark promotes his ideas to fundamentally change the way we think about America’s broken education system in order to fix it.
In his introduction, Dr. Paul begins, “A free society acknowledges that authority over education begins with the family.” What a radical statement today, when the state claims ownership over everything from your private property to your own flesh-and-blood children.
As an advocate of homeschooling, I stand by Dr. Paul and give a hearty amen when he claims education as the “second wave” of the liberty revolution. I hope that “conservative” parents would awaken to the reality that government schools have one true purpose: “School Is The Tool To Brainwash The Youth.”
Our role is to take back education with the Christian optimism that Dr. Paul has,”We will win the battle for the minds of men and women. We will win it student by student.”
