659 – Homeschooling—when state education fails the test

Comments Off

Jun 182020

The COVID-19 lockdown and school closures may have unintentionally created a golden opportunity for parents to reclaim and guide the education of their children. And considering some of the outrageous post-COVID plans for our schools, keeping those schools locked down may be preferable.

Thanks to the lockdown (and in some part because of regular teacher strikes plaguing state education), politicians and state educators have actually been encouraging parents to homeschool their children until the schools re-open – whenever that might possibly be. This is ironic, given the growing state trend to ban homeschooling, as has already been done in many European nations such as Germany.

Indeed, Harvard law professor Elizabeth Bartholet has called for a presumptive ban on homeschooling in the United States, and for the state having a similar presumptive authority over parental rights. Arguing that parents are “authoritarian,” she seems oblivious to the authoritarianism of all things state-controlled and monopolized. We can expect these collectivist ideas to frame the coming debate over parental rights as we head into the future.

“The only purpose of education,” wrote philosopher-novelist Ayn Rand, “is to teach a student how to live his life – by developing his mind and equipping him to deal with reality.” If that’s so, then state education completely fails the test. Far too many dysfunctional and illiterate ‘graduates’ of state education are not even capable of apprehending reality, let alone dealing with it.

Perhaps now is an ideal time to reconsider some of our basic assumptions and attitudes towards what is being called ‘public education’ and to also re-consider the most effective schooling alternative that long preceded compulsory state education: homeschooling.

It would be Just Right by us if more parents chose to homeschool or otherwise seek alternative schooling – even if only inspired by the COVID-19 lockdown.

658- Unmasked! The hypocrisy of the left

Comments Off

Jun 112020

The wearing of COVID-19 masks has become ideally symbolic of the Left’s hypocrisy thanks to the George Floyd riots and protests – public demonstrations that have little to do with either Floyd or with racism. Criminality aside, it was impossible not to notice that ‘protesters’ were neither ‘social distancing’ nor wearing masks. Crowds were massive.

Despite all their threats regarding the spreading of the SARS CoV-2 virus (ranging from fines to imprisonment), officials did nothing. The mainstream media celebrated the events.

Indeed, the very politicians and media pundits who scolded law-abiding peaceful citizens for daring to take their children to the playground or take walks in the park joined the mobs themselves and otherwise commended the ‘protesters’ for their criminal actions and evil objective – nihilism.

Professor Salim Mansur has likened the organized riots and violence to the wanton destruction perpetrated by Adolf Hitler on his own people when he realized that Germany was about to lose the war. Continue reading »

National Post contributor and journalist, Rex Murphy’s observation that Canada is not a racist country has rankled the Liberal elites who have taken a knee in faux shame at what they feel is an inherently racist culture ignoring our history and social mores.

Salim Mansur, Professor Emeritus at Western University, shares Rex’s view. Mansur, as a brown Indian Muslim who immigrated to Canada as a young man finds Canada to be a refuge from the racism of most other countries and defends its heritage as a free and welcoming society.

657 – Blinded by science — on ending the COVID-19 lockdown

Comments Off

Jun 042020

With everyone’s attention currently distracted by the violent and rioting ‘protesters’ associated with the George Floyd murder, the real protesters we should be paying attention to are those marching against the continued lockdowns and regulations related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many of the regulations regarding physical distancing are enforced with hefty fines. The regulations themselves have become so ridiculous and unrealistic that they are laughable, such as those associated with the circles painted on the lawn of Toronto’s Trinity Bellwoods Park last weekend.

In denying free citizens their inalienable right to freedom of association and to run their businesses as they see fit, politicians have been able to avoid responsibility for any consequences arising from their continued COVID-19 lockdowns by hiding behind a wall of ‘expertise’ dominated by doctors and scientists.

Unfortunately, not all doctors and scientists agree when it comes to the SARS CoV-2 virus. So inevitably politicians will choose to rely upon those who support a continued lockdown and/or regulatory regime, since this suits their political agenda. Continue reading »

The Democratic Party’s Götterdämmerung | Salim Mansur

Götterdämmerung (twilight of the gods): “a collapse (as of a society or regime) marked by catastrophic violence and disorder.”

Professor Salim Mansur has likened the organized riots and violence in the wake of the killing of George Floyd to the wanton destruction perpetrated by Adolf Hitler on his own people when he realized that Germany was about to be overrun by the Allied Forces and that he was about to lose the war.

“Hitler knew that the Third Reich was reaching its end. His response was that the German people had failed. The German people were not worthy of the Third Reich. So instead of finding a way out, he was going to fight to the last bullet and to the last German child. That is Götterdämmerung. Bring the whole roof down upon the head of the German people because they are not worthy. This is the politics of the Left.”

While it seems increasingly likely that today’s riots, looting, and burning have been coordinated by domestic terror organizations, like Antifa, loyal to the Democratic Party of the United States, and most likely under its direction, Professor Mansur posits that the mayhem is the Democratic Party’s Götterdämmerung.

The Democrats have realized that they will lose in the polls in November and that their nemesis, Donald Trump will return for another term. In true Leftist fashion, they blame the American people and are wreaking havoc upon their unworthy heads.

656 – Viral spiral — Spinning the COVID-19 lockdown narratives

1 Response »

May 282020

More than being a demonstrated lifesaving treatment in fighting the COVID-19 virus (SARS CoV-2), hydroxychloroquine has now become a symbol of the fundamental political divide regarding the government-mandated lockdown.

Donald Trump’s recent announcement that he is personally using hydroxychloroquine was a direct challenge to negative mainstream media narratives about the drug. It was also a direct attack against those on the Left determined to keep the COVID-19 lockdown in effect for as long as possible, no matter how many people may die or suffer in the process.

In many jurisdictions around the world, it may appear that the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown is slowly ending, but the reality is that it is incrementally being extended – indefinitely – as politicians seek to entrench their recently exercised undemocratic powers over the rest of us. Political threats to repeatedly shut down areas of the economy on the basis of future COVID-19 statistics means that the economy may never be able to recover.

Tragically, at the root of all the shutdown strategies lies a single priority: the protection of healthcare ‘systems,’ a priority placed above that of protecting the lives of the people forced to deal with those systems. When the pandemic began, ‘flattening the curve’ to prevent hospitals from being overrun was the first and only stated objective of the shutdown. Today, the continued rationale for the shutdown is anybody’s guess, as it can change by the hour, and often does. But the priority hasn’t changed even though politicians insist their motivations are based on ‘saving lives.’

By placing the public spotlight on his use of hydroxychloroquine, Trump boldly demonstrated how ‘saving lives’ is not the goal of the mainstream media or the Left. Once again, Trump brilliantly did what was Just Right: he exposed the hypocrisy of those who claim to be motivated by ‘saving lives’ while simultaneously opposed to the use of that which is life-saving.
