OPINION: Public Schools Like Ours Killed Charlie Kirk.   Here’s How to Stop It.

“You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear
You’ve got to be taught from year to year
It’s got to be drummed in your dear little ear
You’ve got to be carefully taught.”

(Oscar Hammerstein)

The morally sick beliefs and principles that led Charlie Kirk’s assassin to murder him this week didn’t come out of nowhere. They had to “be carefully taught” … and they were and are – in public school systems – and many private ones, just like the Washoe County School District (WCSD). I believe this statement will be found true when the the man who killed Kirk is convicted and fully exposed.

The growing political violence in our nation won’t stop until we focus our full attention on uprooting and abandoning corrupt public school districts and leadership – of which WCSD is a prime example.

Schools like these are incubating godless, socialist ideologies and  twisted moral values and thus creating the conditions that produce the angry, violent  sociopaths of the future, like the man who murdered Charlie Kirk.  

Consider the 63,000 students attending WCSD schools, ranked among our nation’s worst for decades. During their 13 years in this system, each student receives over 15,000 hours of exposure to campus environments where they’re “carefully taught” the following, and much more.

• Curriculum is taught with a relentless emphasis on the Liberal perspective. Socialism is advocated as superior to our Constitutional Republic. Patriotism and responsible nationalism are misidentified as fascism, and those who advocate for the former are considered “enemies.”

The accomplishments of America’s outstanding history and great leaders are distorted and even denied. Our nation’s incredible contributions to the world are dishonestly presented to students as overwhelmingly violent, intolerant, racist, unjust, and oppressive to everyone except White people. Physically fighting and threatening our own country’s current leaders – with violence if necessary, is considered praiseworthy.

• Values instruction in our schools praises and admires the principles of every world religion except Christianity and Judaism. Both of them are attacked as racist, hateful, or irrelevant, particularly in regard to biblical standards for sexual behavior.

• Teachers present Social Mores as justifying criminal violence and anti-social behavior, IF it’s perpetrated against political conservatives or causes that an individual personally disagrees with.

• Students learn Moral Relativism, i.e.:  There is no absolute good or evil: “Right” is what you get away with; and “Wrong” is what you get caught doing.”  Students are taught little or no respect for the laws or the police. They don’t learn to understand and be grateful for the irreplaceable role both of them play in maintaining civilization and avoiding anarchy.

• Schools don’t emphasize the need for a strong work ethic. Students are taught that being judged on what a person has individually learned or accomplished is unfair, biased, and racist. They learn that everyone deserves equal success and rewards, regardless of their effort, life choices, or skills.

• Regarding heinous crimes against persons or property, students are told that any criminal activity is justified if a situation sufficiently upsets an individual.

Students are taught that consequences for this criminal behavior should be minimal, if any. Offenders should be seen as victims of an unfair government. Meanwhile, actual victims, especially if they’re White and conservative, are brushed aside and forgotten.

In light of the 13 years of public school brainwashing that goes on, not only in WCSD’s schools, but to a similar degree in America’s 23,000 other secondary schools, Charlie Kirk’s death can be seen as a miracle, just as much as a horrific tragedy.

America’s public schools graduate almost 4 million students every year. The majority of them have been immersed in those 15,000 hours of anti-America, anti-God, morally bankrupt, ends-justify-the-means instruction. It’s left these millions of young, unanchored adults not just academically dysfunctional, but morally bankrupt and socially dangerous. In light of this fact, it’s a miracle that tragic losses of life – like what happened to Charlie Kirk, do not occur far more frequently than they do.

One year ago this month, Charlie Kirk gave a speech in Duluth, Georgia.  It included this statement:  “America is engaged in a spiritual battle happening around all of us.”

It truly is a “spiritual battle”; and Ground Zero – the battle’s local epicenter, is the Washoe County School District.

If we sincerely want to continue the spiritual battle that Charlie initiated, then the time for speeches and memorial services will soon be over.  The best way to truly honor Charlie’s legacy, from this point to the horizon, is for all of us to get involved in taking tangible action. Locally, a starting point for this could include taking the following three steps.

1) Demand that Governor Joe Lombardo publicly acknowledge the full extent of Nevada public schools’ decades-long complete failure: not just academically, but morally, spiritually, and socially, that continues to worsen.

2) Demand that Lombardo implement his Emergency Powers Act to:

a)  Assume control of all 17 of Nevada’s school districts, and begin immediate and comprehensive removal of ineffective and superfluous administrative personnel, as the Emergency Powers Act provides.

b) Demand that the Governor require all schools to begin immediate enforcement of current NRS laws regarding chronic absenteeism, drug possession/use, and violent/incorrigible behavior.

3) Demand that Lombardo use his Emergency Powers to require the State Legislature to pass a 5-year, Universal Full Vouchers law that would provide full, no-strings-attached funding to the parents of every school-age child in Nevada (currently between $10-12,000 annually).

This would break the Nevada public school system’s monopoly.  It would offer parents a way to prevent amoral, ineffective, godless education from being forced on them and their children.  It would would force Nevada’s public schools to compete for students.

• Parents who wanted to stay in the existing public system could remain there.

• Parents who wanted out of the public system could now afford existing private options.

• Education entrepreneurs would now be able to recruit families to try new, privately-funded, more effective ways to educate their children.

• Homeschool families could keep their vouchers and use them for their homeschool costs, including tutors.

Having the courage to challenge the public school monolith and Governor Lombardo with these steps would accomplish several things.

• It would force parents to do their jobs and get more involved in actively parenting their children.

• It would awaken our children from their current stupor -induced by liberal brainwashing and forced attendance in meaningless classes on dangerous, out-of-control campuses.

It would bring a purer sense of morality and spirituality to our schools. This would greatly reduce the likelihood of having to see still another bright, hopeful leader like Charlie Kirk cut down in his prime by dangerously lost young adults that we’ve allowed our public schools to keep producing.

Applying the challenge that Charlie Kirk repeatedly threw out to his audiences,  “Prove me wrong” (regarding this plan) … or let’s DO this.
