Marxism wrecking students' education

The Spectator published a letter in which the author described how things actually work on the left (and isn't getting reported.)  The matter in question was the Anarchist campaign to discredit the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board.  In particular, the author mentioned how the Board ought to be listening to students and rectifying social matters which, if they really exist, are outside the control of the Board.

The letter by Andrea Rado was certainly informative.  It explains how the race hustling organizations work together to create “a cacophony of stinking fish heard all round the world.”  For all the activism and organizing of students, they seem not to have students’ true priorities at heart.

The School Board doesn’t exist to “listen to student voices.”  It doesn’t exist to “rectify long standing problems of racial inequality.”  The school system exists to teach and to educate.  This means the student does the listening and, hopefully, the learning.  One learns more by listening than by talking.

If a student is inclined to rectify long standing problems or racial inequality, they need to start with an education.  Regrettably, the education they’re getting nowadays is poor having been compromised by Marxism, and if students want something to get exercised over, they should be demanding an end to Marxism and a revival of western enlightenment in education.  Marxism isn’t the climax of the Enlightenment, it’s its antithesis.

If a student finds the HWDSB that intolerable, rather than spoil the experience for others, the discontented should consider finding an another school, or simply quit school and find a job.
