Con Game Extraordinaire

One of the sorest subjects amongst conservatives in America is its public education system. In addition to being an ineffectual government bureaucracy, its educational model was crafted by dedicated Marxist elites in the eastern US, and had supplanting the family as one of its objectives as far back as the 1950s.
Then, there are the political games that have been played by unions, administrators, and political parties that served their varied agendas; suffice it to say that American children have suffered increasingly substandard education and experienced increasing levels of social engineering as time has worn on. There is certainly more wrong with the American educational system than this, as a feel-good curriculum replaced evidence based thought and diagnostic-prescriptive methodologies were replaced by anything goes.
The large-scale corruption that insinuated itself into the American educational system remains a significant threat to education and the future of America as an ongoing and relevant concern to be sure, but it is fairly straightforward and superficial; that is, close to the surface. Concerted efforts on the part of informed voters could substantially ameliorate this problem over a short period of time.
The corruption of educators in America – and in the West in general – has not been limited to implementing deleterious agendas within their academic infrastructure at home.
