Those Who Are Ignorant Of History Are Doomed To Repeat It...Or...Our Education System Is Irrevocably Broken. Either Or Both Work!

So a presumably Jewish high school teacher went to a rally in support of Israel, ersand that is beyond the pale for the current crop of multicultural leftist fascists in our nation's schools.

The incident at Hillcrest High School in Queens occurred on Monday after pro-Palestinian students learned the teacher had a photo on social media where she held a sign, saying "I stand with Israel."

The student body rioted...and had they been any brighter or had planned this impromptu lynching any better, the teacher might not have survived the ordeal. Because this is a NYC public school, where normal human social norms are not observed. It is nothing more than a conglomeration of feral youth that are barely controlled by mostly terrified teachers and administrators.

But that's not new. That has been the status quo for most schools in NYC for generations. The difference is that the Jewish teacher was targeted for being Jewish and having the temerity to demonstrate in support of Israel. You know...evil Israel that has 2,000,000 Arab citizens and is a flourishing liberal democracy with full rights granted to blacks and gays and trannies and hispanics and you name it. Hell, Israel has a gay pride parade!

'Radicalized' students storm pro-Israel teacher's classroom in New York
What is really interesting (but not surprising) is the whining comments from the teacher and the local councilman! "I'm shocked, shocked, to find that gambling is going on in here."

here's the teacher...

I have worked hard to be supportive of our entire student body and an advocate for our community

It's my hope in the days ahead we can find a way to have meaningful discussions about challenging topics with respect for each other's diverse perspectives and shared humanity.

Unless we can learn to see each other as people we will never be able to create a safe learning community

She just doesn't get it. All of her multi-culti bona fides and support of every liberal cause and wearing the correct political buttons won't protect her from the mob looking for Jewish blood. That is the real Left, and this naif doesn't understand. Add in the institutional blood-lust of Islam and you get mobs of teenagers racing down corridors looking for Jews. But rest assured, she will be voting reliably leftist in November 2024!

And here is the Democratic Councilman Robert Holden...

I don't know why these students are so misinformed, so intolerant and so radicalized. They don't even know the history of the Middle East. They haven't been taught that

It's evident they're clueless about Middle East history. When did our education system fail so miserably?

What an amazing twit. Has it occurred to him that it is the responsibility of city government to ensure some basic quality of education? Or are hours-long seminars on pronouns, microaggressions and anal sex more important?

What's that you ask? The demographics of Hillcrest High School?

[Hillcrest High is on the left, and New York state as a whole is on the right.]

So where did the vicious anti-Semitism come from? Black anti-Semitism is baked into the cake. Asian is a bit surprising, and Hispanic is undoubtedly a byproduct of the overwhelming leftist cant in most of the Hispanic world. But the media-driven pro-Hamas "news," coupled with the abject ignorance of the most basic history of the Middle East is a good start for the professional agitators who just love to manipulate the mush-brained on our college campuses and now in our high schools.

Just go back to the free speech movement of the 1960s and you will find clear connections to communist organizations. And the violence that accelerated in the late 1960s? Anyone care to guess Bill Ayers' political affiliation? Or Angela Davis?

What we have is a relationship of convenience between the militant Muslims who foment strife and rebellion in the dar al-harb (lands not yet under Muslim control), and the communist/socialist/progressive left that seeks to overthrow the West for its own reasons. The Left's natural antipathy toward Jews, Judaism and Israel meshes perfectly with Militant Islam.

The real question is what happens next, if Islam succeeds? Those ardent leftists will find themselves being thrown off of buildings and shot down in the streets. And if the communist left succeeds? Will they tolerate the overt religiosity of Islam? Ask the Russian Orthodox priests in the Soviet Union, or Christians, Buddhists and Falon Gong in China.

What if people stopped supporting brick and mortar schools. All of them.

School choice was mostly defeated a few decades ago, and now that those idiot "accidentally" imposed Covid on parents, I would hope many of them figured out they don't need to send their kids anywhere. Or they can decide for themselves where to send them.

Mandating public school is another form of slavery. Time to break the chains.

But school aged parents have a choice to make. Do you want to keep sending your kids into the maw?

And supporting them in other ways, like all the expenses of participating in their extracurricular activities? Including sportsball?

Never talked politics…. I had no clue who the teachers voted for… It really was idyllic; I wonder if places like this still exist in 2023

45 Wasn't failure to pay taxes one of the main reasons why they slew Randy Weavers' family on national TV?

IIRC the story...

Weaver went to some white supremacist group rally and was visibly unhappy with what he was hearing. One of the fedgov agents undercover at the rally approached him afterwards and asked him to become an informant. Weaver said no.

The agent then opened a case on Weaver, and they entrapped him by selling him a shotgun cut slightly below the legal limit. He received a summons...and immediately a phone call telling him they planned to kill him when he went to the courthouse.

So...he didn't go. The government then sent a squad in to take him...and they approached him while he was hunting with his son. This led to a stand off since they were armed. The agents shot the kid's dog though so the kid shot at them...and in turn they killed the kid.

This led to a running gun battle back to Weaver's house where they surrounded it with "shoot to kill orders". When one of them got a bead on Weaver's unarmed wife (and carrying a baby) he executed her. Faced with seeing his whole family murdered he surrendered. Charges against him were dismissed because it was all bs

Posted by: 18-1 at November 26, 2023 12:33 PM (XqcwY)

Right, but that's what I mean. My opinion is there ARE things the government is needed for (although fewer and fewer as we go along), but it's that matter of paying for it... at gunpoint.

Ultimately, we do. Whether I would otherwise give money to the bellringer or not, isn't the point, it's that he's got the gun there to let me know I don't have a choice.

Many are not qualified to do any meaningful work. Most of them have been so indoctrinated to hate everyone else they're only useful when ginned up as a mob and pointed at whichever demographic the left has a hard-on for at that particular moment.

It's Jews, Asians, Whites, conservatives, non-alphabet people and so on that the left focuses these mobs on when it suits them.

And, as I've said before; these hate filled mobs are easily organized, positioned and supported to do significant physical damage to life and property. They are being prepared for a larger conflict. With us.

Back in the day, when I WAS an expert on this topic, I noted CDC maintained stats for HIV infections. Leaving aside the question of how they got their data, they had graphs that showed the number of homo transmissions, the number that showed IV drug transmissions. They broke those down into sex (99.9999 homo infections were male, something over 50% IVDT were male).

Then when it got to the category of hetero transmissions... they never broke it down by sex.

Hmmm, why is that? They omit what they do so the lie can be told.

An important point to remember here, the left only really got on the gay train in the early 00s. In fact I remember in....'04 they ran a campaign gay baiting a Republican running for Senate since he had been a hair dresser at one point and they found video, in '06 they were after Mark Foley for hitting on a male intern, and as late as '08 they made hay over Larry Craig being gay...

So would the left drop all the gay stuff if they thought it would get them more power? In a heartbeat. And...much like in Islam they'd still get to keep their dancing boys...

Thought for the day: Considering the wage gap which is, what, a few cents for every dollar a man makes? Once we take all the whoring into account (whoring defined broadly to cover everything up to and including free meals on dates) I would guess that not only does the gap disappear but it widens in favor of women. Think of it, even if a man makes more he's basically spending the difference (actually probably spending more than the difference) on wooing women or maintaining his current chick and keeping her happy.

The scariest part of this is, they then have the power to teach our children.

And the paradigm of modern education leads to one thing, bowing to authority. If the teacher tells you something, even if WRONG, you have to parrot that back on the test, or it's marked incorrect... enough of this, and you fail, and when you fail, you are punished, even to the point of destroying you potential future career.

Thus, our children are trained that they must obey the State.

A lot of left-wing Jews are discovering that their "progressive allies" are at best indifferent to the mass murder of Jews, and at worst actively supportive of the mass murder of Jews.

The "progressive" slogan: "Free Palestine - By Any Means Necessary!" is an explicit endorsement of October 7th.

140 The long delayed effect of the federalization of education is that we now essentially have two parallel education systems; a public system for Hispanics, blacks, poor Asians, and children of meth-head whites; and either private or home school for most white residents and others who care about their children. That is warped all of the institutions below the college level.
At the college level, the same disease has infected them as it has infected most of this country's Ruling Class. That class has to fall before this can be eradicated.

143 Education. I have wasted a few hours over the past couple weeks watching the SOC 119 YouTube channel, in which a Penn State leftard earrings-in-both-ears prof is in front of a large auditorium of students. He brings some up front for some q&a segments as he goes about addressing racism, privilege, Israel vs Hamas, a little LGBTQism, and more.

There are a lot of things I find annoying about the guy, Professor Sam, who says he has had extensive travel experience in Israel and Gaza, but there is one that is particularly disingenuous.

He claims to have met and had deep discussions with not just a few, but many dozens of Gazans, and claims that NONE, not a one of them, was a Hamas or Hamas supporter. All they want, every single one, is peace, Professor Sam says.

Fucking liar.

170 Anecdata, but something I don't understand. First synagogue in Michigan was founded in Detroit in the 1850's. It had split by the 1860's into what became Reform Temple Beth El (now in Bloomfield Hills MI) and Congregation Shaarzeyzedek, Conservative and now in Southfield. Beth El has nothing on its website about the situation but Shaarzezedek has a lot, including how to contribute to support. Is there really such a deep divide among the various groups?

It's very insidious, how it spreads. It generally starts with people who had terrible childhoods, who experienced significant disruption in the process of being raised to be decent human beings.

And when they get out there and mix with "normal" people, including inserting themselves into positions of influencing kids, the normal kids are made to believe these people ARE normal. So if they're so angry, I guess I should be too.

Grammar school teachers were mostly older ladies (not young purple haired freaks) with their own families. In high school the male teachers were also coaches and were good role models. Never talked politics…. I had no clue who the teachers voted for… It really was idyllic; I wonder if places like this still exist in 2023

Same here, graduated HS in 1966. Many of the male teachers were vets who used the GI bill. In grammar school, many of my teachers taught my mom! All older ladies. No political agendas. Pure education. Things, sadly begin to change by 1969/70.

It took me ages to find this quote because when you search for it or similar, all the usual leftist sites (Wiki, MSM) don't mention it:

"Generally I have very little patience for history. I am bored with history, for the simple reason that you cannot change it. You can analyze it, and people say if you don’t learn the past, you will repeat the mistakes of the past. Okay, learn the past — then you will not repeat the mistakes of the past, you will make new mistakes."

And that is about as far as I got actually reading the article.

It's my hope in the days ahead we can find a way to have meaningful discussions about challenging topics with respect for each other's diverse perspectives and shared humanity.

Unless we can learn to see each other as people we will never be able to create a safe learning community"

Here is Gref's take on why those messages are not getting through to more and more people under age 25. They won't listen to, let alone act, per that messaging. Because the youths are asking themselves, "What's in it for me?"

They see no value for them in changing their behavior. That's a big problem.

I think some of those people are angry, at nothing or everything.
It doesn't matter at what, it's the only emotion that never disappoints them.
They have no real life experience to justify hatred, but, being angry motivates them to get out of bed in the morning, it keeps them warm at night and it fills the void that even a glimmer of happiness and compassion would otherwise fill.
Unfortunately anger is effortless to maintain, happiness and compassion take effort.
Posted by: old chick at November 26, 2023 01:22 PM (sOete)

It feels good too - it feels righteous. "I'm angry, therefore I believe in something, and therefore I am good." The left/progressives got rid of Judeo-Christian moral structure in our society and made it anathema, but have to replace it with something else in order to maintain control over an increasingly dissatisfied populace. Finding a scapegoat on which to focus that anger keeps it off them, the ones actually responsible for the discontent.

227 Yeah, but as our blogger notes, Liberal Jews (such as the teacher whose support of Israel was the alleged cause of this mostly peaceful protest) are going to continue to reliably vote for the Leftists, who will continue to forment antisemitism.

It’s similar to how Ace and CBD mock NeverTrumpers and RINOs while at the same time supporting NeverTrumpers and RINOs.

As the saying goes, you can’t fix stupid, only admire their arrogant display of their own ignorance. Like male peacocks (and DeSantis with his lifted cowboy boots and his claimed height of 5’11” when wearing stilettos) — imbeciles love to publicly display their ignorance.

Women in modern dating is a true example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

They all rate themselves as 'all that' and therefore expect of 'catch' a guy who is rich, successful, and in great shape.

ie... 5's - to 7's, who think they are 9-10, and therefore dismiss any guy who is not at the top.

Three Palestinians were shot last night on their way to a family dinner in Burlington, Vermont. They were targeted for speaking Arabic and wearing a keffiyeh. They are critically injured but still alive in the ICU. Hisham Awartani, Tahseen Ali and Kenan Abdulhamid, all students at US universities.

Allegedly a white guy walked top to them, and just started shooting without saying a word.

Why do I have a feeling that there is something more to this?

IF Islam suceeds and it very easily can, these people will not be thrown from roof tops or punished in any way. They will celebrate their liberation from Western values and gladly accept the Islamic/Fascistic ethos of eternal dependency, an orgy of hate and meaningless lives of unending sloth. Nothing will change for them.

I understand the desire to get back some of that tax $$ that are going to those public schools but it should not be forgotten that when tax money comes back, it comes back with strings attached. Want vouchers to help pay for your parochial school or homeschool expenses? Well, citizen, let's be sure the curriculum it's paying for is ~~state~~ State approved. Are you absolutely sure you want that? Speaking as someone whose children were homeschooled in Texas through high school, I don't.
