When Justice Isn’t

A letter from a local elementary school teacher, I’ll call “Mrs. Krieg,” came to my attention through a mutual acquaintance. In light of the notice that honor classes will cease, she thoughtfully agreed that equity (defined as fairness and impartiality) in the schools should benefit all students. Regrettably, she has let that term equity influence her. The problem: evil people have devalued and redefined equity to make it a tool for social engineering among students. They have applied this revisionism to Equity, Diversity and Social Justice, at the expense of freedom and true justice.

Social justice trumps academic rigor

Honors classes had a purpose: to challenge students academically. The advanced work, faster pace, and higher course-credit weight have provided for smarter, happier, well-rounded children who had the opportunity to flourish according to their capabilities and not misbehave out of boredom. But now, the authorities have determined it best to cancel the honor courses across the country. Why? By reason of a “lack of diversity.” That is, these classes engaged more Caucasian and Asian students than Blacks, Latinos and Native Americans. Schools could also provide honors classes that meet the interests of the low-energy students – perhaps music, theater, artisanal handicrafts. Instead, the Department of Education has decided to close the achievement gap by lowering the bar and expectations and discontinuing all incentives. Mrs. Krieg did not foresee that by eliminating the incentives and opportunities, the resulting “equity” would be mediocrity and the loss of exceptional achievement.

Exit honors, enter learning problems

Now the Department of Education will generate equity in boredom, discontent, resentment, truancy and delinquency. Academia knows these inevitabilities. Their purpose is not an improved education but the decline of achievement and the elimination of the exceptional. Former President Obama expressed a similar derogatory outlook when he denounced high-achieving Americans with, “You didn’t build that.”

Diversity: the social justice meme

Diversity in the schools no longer describes a richness of ideas, course studies, or specialty careers. Instead it defines and categorizes the students themselves. It does this by race, religion, ethnicity, financial status, sexual orientation, and however else the students choose to differentiate themselves. As with the term “equity,” the meaning of “diversity” now is corrupt. For it now implies division, divisiveness, and discord, the opposite of E Pluribus Unum – Out of many, One. These differences have led to a totalitarian-style monitoring and bullying – called Speech Control. This needs “Diversity Officers” with doctoral degrees, credentials in counseling and inclusion techniques, and six-figure salaries provoking higher tuition costs. The officers’ mere presence confirms the growing disharmony, isolation, discrimination, harassment, and violence that characterize the socialist strategy.

Key points in what social justice means

These points are significant:

No more student interaction, less family time

Many schools have implemented a policy of discouraging the bonding between classmates, beginning with Kindergarten, alleging that “best friends” keep the students from mingling with others. This is false and destructive. Best friends are a mutual support system, as they learn to agree, compromise, comfort, accommodate, and be reliable, traits needed throughout their adult lives.

Schools now place students at their computers for hours, removing eye contact and discussion opportunities with others, disallowing autonomy over time scheduling, reducing writing and penmanship with its inherent creativity. Presidential hopeful Kamala Harris said she would increase daily school time by three hours, thereby seriously reducing home and family activities, personal growth, and individual achievement.

Identity politics begins in school

Academia has introduced “intersectionality” to diminish the self and encourage victimhood by race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, family class; the more the classifications, the higher their status. Instead of a unitedness with school and pride of citizenship in their own country, they are now tribalistic, divisive, and intolerant.

Bigotry against Jewish students and staff (antisemitism) is on the rise and spreading. History has shown that Jews are always the first, but never the only ones, to come under attack. The hostility is growing to include whites (white supremacy). It then extends to our founding and history by the socialists and Sharia-compliant. It further extends towards boys (toxic masculinity), diminishing their self-worth and ambitions. Thus it damages their God-given purpose of contributing to our nation’s growth and defense. Boys must become men: marry and support their families, be strong fathers and teach morality to the next generation.

Exit God, enter Muslim and socialist justice

The removal of God from the schools and population’s psyche has produced a plethora of new definitions. These facilitate a ruling class, and convince the public to tolerate lawlessness over sovereign borders. It also tells us to submit to the measured demands of sharia from the Muslim Brotherhood and affiliates on campus and in the media.

The Common Core standards introduced new courses:

• Intentionally convoluted math that prohibits parental participation,
• Dystopian and uninspiring literature that offers limited creative vocabulary and replaces inspiration with fatalism,
• Inaccurate and indoctrinating history lessons that misinform students about our growth and successes and hides the truths about Islam, and
• Social studies that support a political agenda.

Social justice destroys individuality

With individuality stifled, the children are indoctrinated to think alike, falter alike, and expect equal return for widespread mediocrity. This equity in communist countries produced stagnation in education, the economy and real income. It also slowed improvement in everyday services and medical care and produced shortages of goods. This in turn produced rising criminality and corruption, along with an increase in alcoholism, particularly in Russia. Socialism kills the spirit of personal endeavor.

The introduction of transgenderism is ruining the lives of many children, psychologically and physically, It wrecks all opportunities for happiness in marriage and family, leading some to suicide.

Green is the new red

The threat of climate change, perhaps the greatest hoax, is the extensive control over all life. This would bring a scarcity of energy, failing manufacturing firms and retail operations, vilified consumerism, diminishing food supplies, curbed transportation for people and food distribution. The environmentalists purposely falsify the data about climatic conditions. They do this to throttle human activity – which they hate – to produce their worshiped green planet.

In short, the goal of the left is to crush the human spirit. Pride in accomplishment must be stifled, progress discouraged, and the dispirited population reminted into the globalists’ compliant working class.

Social justice = injustice

Contrary to Mrs. Krieg’s understanding, the Left invented the term “diversity” to con the populace into accepting all incoming non-citizens. Regardless of criminality, disease, or hatred for the American flag, someone must house, feed, clothe, educate and medicate them. Multiculturalism is already the downfall of several European countries by reason of cultures too disparate for assimilation. Muslims come to replace their hosts’ laws with their sharia and establish yet another oppressive totalitarian Islamic state.

Justice becomes injustice when the word needs a modifier. “Social justice” means a revision of laws to accommodate a socialist agenda. True justice is served only when the interests of Americans are considered, when Americans can, of their own volition and in their own time, partake of the promise of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” The authoritarian government seeks total/totalitarian control over the masses to forcibly produce identical workers, taught and indoctrinated to comply with the needs of the regime.

We know the outcome; we must stop it

The final outcome is not unknown to mankind. We have seen countries fall to socialism, fascism, and Islam. The vulnerable children always feel first the effects of the increasing control.

Now is the time to act if we are to avoid Orwell’s dire warning: If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.
