Why public education needs to end.

As much as I hate to support anything the Rudd Regime does, I admit that they have at least done something useful (other than the clean feed) in their implementation of the MySchool website. At this site (www.myschool.edu.au), parents can access the test score information of their local schools and make the informed choice as to which school to send their children to. However, the site has revealed figures which do not lie and confirm what conservatives have known all along - that public education does not work.
Students in the public education system show consistently lower reading, writing and mathematics skills than their private school counterparts. There is only one explanation for this. Public schools do not teach children. They indoctrinate them.
Teachers in the public system are recruited almost exclusively from the ranks of the Labor Party or the Greens. They are pseudo-intellectual leftist radicals who are not interested in teaching children what they need to know and instilling them with strong moral values. Instead, their goal is to turn each child into a good little socialist, brainwashing them with leftist lies and propaganda. They no longer teach religion in the public system, for instance. Religion, with its strong moral centre, is the basis for all ethical and decent behaviour. Children who do not learn the difference between right and wrong grow up to become socialists, radicals and homosexuals. Religious studies would set them right instantly by pointing them to the Bible, but the leftist teachers don't want that. They don't want children seeing the Bible, learning the wisdom of God and thinking for themselves. So instead they poison their minds with Marxist texts and "social justice", which is code for socialist programs, welfare and emotionalism. Children who are educated in public schools have no respect for traditional values and what it means to be Australian. They are taught to hate their country. This is all in accordance with the greater plan of the Global Left - namely, a worldwide socialist tyranny. Eliminating all feelings of patriotism and morality is an integral part of this plan.

The big question as far as I am concerned is why we have allowed this situation to go on for so long. Public education has been around for many years, and it has always been like this. So why have conservative governments done nothing about it? Even John Howard, who in most respects was an exemplary leader and a great patriot, did little to address the problem. And the solution is perfectly obvious. Public education needs to be abolished.
If all education were left to either the churches or private investment, the problem would go away in one stroke. Parents would still be able to choose, only between two good schools rather than a bad one and a good one. A parent could choose the local Catholic school or the local Protestant school, depending on their faith. For those for whom the school fees are the paramount concern, market forces would play an integral part. The schools that provide the kind of education children need would be successful and be able to offer competitive fees. Exclusivity would be maintained for those schools for whom tradition matters.

Most importantly, moral education would be restored. Children would now learn how to read, write and add, rather than how to read a dead foreigner's pointless musings on dreams. Children would understand the Bible and God's will, rather than be taught that all religion is evil. And children would learn that their nation is the greatest on Earth and must be protected; it's heritage, its traditions and its culture, at all costs, as opposed to being taught their nation should be ruled from China and Iran by socialists or terrorists.

The natural extension to this plan would be to abolish universities. There are some private universities, but the vast bulk of universities would be abolished and thus end the tyranny of the intellectual left. The idea that you can learn all you need to know and get all your ideas from books written by dead Germans would be destroyed. The idea that just because a person has letters after their name they are better than you would be destroyed. All this nonsense about 'science' being the be-all and end-all of human knowledge, as opposed to religion, which has been around thousands of years longer, would be destroyed.

Thus, by abolishing all public education, we on the right would deal a crippling blow to the left and halt their agenda. Without the ability to use schools as recruitment stations, the left would lose one of their major tactical positions. It might even cripple them for good and allow those of us who still believe in God, decency and tradition to make sure these things are never forgotten.
