• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

This is so true. Describes our education system very accurately & succinctly. I also heard, maybe in this thread, that JD Rockefeller was a big part of how our school days are structured in order to condition the public to be good factory workers. Absolutely disgusting that we still teach our kids like we set it up at the turn of the last century, well over 100 years ago.
I'd use caution on slamming that whole structure outright. That dependability and work ethic is how the USA won WWII. Companies expect folks to show up on time and be dependable because it helps everyone to have a somewhat predictable rhythm to move business and projects along.

Also, until roughly 20 years ago, the focus in our public schools was still mainly reading, riting and 'rithmatic - the famous 3 R's. History and Civics as well.

There are true human nature (God if you like) reasons for this. Spoken and listened language is intuitive and comes naturally while written language and its reading need to be taught - i.e. non intuitive. Same holds for formal math - especially abstract math like Algebra and above. An educated country and work force is what lifts everyone out of poverty.

My proof of that is to have a look at Yemen or Afghanistan.

DHS Says Being in the U.S. Illegally 'Should Not Alone Be the Basis' of Detaining or Deporting Illegals.

How many thousands of illegal aliens in the last few months were captured at the border and released with only a slip of paper telling them to appear in court years down the road? How do we know all those people are innocent civilians? They weren’t vetted in any way. What special powers are granted to border agents to allow them to look at someone and determine they aren’t a threat?

The fact is, the Biden administration is gambling — gambling with the health and safety of Americans — that the illegals are harmless and wouldn’t harm a flea. Until, of course, they do. Then, it’s a terrible tragedy that no one could have foreseen.

The fact is, the Biden administration isn’t gambling. They know these people are helping spread the China virus and at best don’t care. At worst they want them to spread it.

They know there are very dangerous people bringing people in and at best don’t care. At worst they are encouraging the human trafficking done by these dangerous people.

They know there are criminals being brought in and at best they don’t care. At worst they are knowingly facilitating the migration of criminals to this country.

In each of the above scenarios I believe the latter applies.

They hate everyday Americans. Just like Hillary does (if you remember the Podesta emails)…
