Save our Children from State Social Engineering

Since the rise to power of the New Left in the 1960s and 70s, education has been used for progressive ends and to instil the “correct” attitudes rather than develop the child’s abilities. The authorities brainwash our children.

History, for example, is reduced to a propaganda of the “acceptable”. Only certain selected topics can be taught, with the Second World War dominant because Nazism can be used to frighten children away from Nationalist sentiments. So fluid and Orwellian is the “acceptable” that propaganda can be turned into its opposite at a stroke. Thus, a Government-funded study in April 2007 uncovered the fact that Schools are stopping teaching the Holocaust in history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils. It found that some teachers fear upsetting Muslim students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial. Likewise, there is fear of teaching children about the 11th century Crusades when Christian armies fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem. The problem: a different version is taught in mosques.

No such problem with black history, however. Our children seem likely to be taught an approved version of the development of slavery, colonisation and its links to the British empire and the industrial revolution according to BBC News on 26th August 2008.

Under plans before the Department for Children, Schools and Families, children could be taught sex education from the age of four.

But there is also pressure to make advice on relationships, contraception and sexually transmitted diseases compulsory in all primary and secondary schools. It is the latest campaign aimed at cutting Britain’s teenage pregnancy rate, which remains among the highest in Europe despite repeated attempts by ministers to reduce it. Sexually transmitted diseases are becoming increasingly prevalent among youngsters, although this is really being imported from Africa by immigrants. But rather than face this inconvenient truth, a group of MPs led by Chris Bryant, parliamentary aide to Harriet Harman, has concocted another plan.

Bryant, by the way, is openly homosexual, and the BBC News reported on 2nd December 2003 that he had apologised for e-mailing a picture of himself in his underpants via a gay website. From 1994 to 1996 he was London manager of Common Purpose, the controversial charity.

Bryant says that the solution to the teenage birth rate is to educate children more about sex education from a much earlier age. The MPs, supported by charities including Terrence Higgins Trust, the Family Planning Association and the Teenage Pregnancy Independent Advisory Group, claim that children should be given relationship advice ‘in context’ if they are to make informed decisions about when to have sex.

Critics of this notion, such as the Family Education Trust, are non-progressive and so are dismissed. Many Muslims are also critical, not least because the effect will be to teach that homosexual “relations” are equal to heterosexual relations. They will simply be allowed to opt out of the lessons. Our children will not.

The grimmest of all recent news stories was the Daily Mail’s report of 22 August 2008 that almost a quarter of all babies in Britain are now born to immigrant mothers. In London the figure is 54 per cent, rising to 75 per cent in some boroughs. A government survey revealed that one in eight pupils already speaks English as a second language. Migrant children take longer to understand lessons and divert the teacher’s energies from other pupils. Accordingly, MPs and unions have called for urgent action to prevent schools being overwhelmed by the pressure.

But, frankly, we can not trust them, and we must do this ourselves.

In 1965 Peter Griffiths, MP for Smethwick, called for special classes to teach English to immigrants. Predictably, he was accused of wanting to establish apartheid in schools. The situation is plainly much worse now. Home education is not an alternative lifestyle choice. It is an imperative.

Children have always been withdrawn for, say, bullying, unhappiness, or because of a local educational authority failure to cater for Special Educational Needs, problems with teaching style or the curriculum. But it is to save our children from Government manipulation that we must withdraw them now.

Cultural Marxism is a total ideological system, imposing or manipulating opinions for all aspects of life - “Everything is Political”. It is subtle and, of course, much less brutal than the version employed in Stalin’s Russia. The process begins with children at school and operates on different levels.

There is the physical level. The State holds DNA records of nearly a million children, some as young as five, and has been secretly taking their fingerprints since 2001. Each week twenty schools introduce fingerprinting. Ostensibly, this helps pupils develop a love of books and reading. The child’s fingerprint is a substitute for a library card, and placing the print on a scanner opens their computer file with records of the books they have borrowed.

Minister for Schools and Learning, Jim Knight, revealed that when working on a crime police have access to the children’s fingerprints, but parents are not informed.

The schools, education authorities and the Government claim that the record, which is in the form of an algorithmic code stored on a biometric template, is safe. But any competent hacker could access it and then sell it on for use in identity theft. Even when deleted as each pupil leaves his or her school, it is not beyond the power of a computer whiz-kid to access the hard disk and recover the data.

In July 2006, The Observer reported that British children, possibly as young as six, will be subjected to compulsory fingerprinting under European Union rules being drawn up in secret. The prints will be stored on a database which could be shared with countries around the world. Under proposed laws being drawn up secretly by the European Commission’s ‘Article Six’ committee, which is composed of representatives of the European Union’s 25 member states, all children will have to attend a fingerprinting centre to obtain an EU passport by June 2009 at the latest. The Home Office wants to include children in its biometric passport scheme in two years, and automatically transfer their details and fingerprints to the new national identity database when they are 16. The Government is covertly building a genetic database, data from which has been used for genetic research without consent, including attempts to predict “ethnic appearance” from DNA profiles.

Still at the physical level, sport has been jettisoned by the new educational elites. They detest competition, and advocate co-operation to suppress male aggression. Commenting on our Olympic achievements in the Daily Mail of 20 August 2008, Leo McKinstry wrote:-

Over the past weekend, our sailors, cyclists, swimmers and rowers won an unprecedented eight gold medals, by far the greatest haul by Britons in two days in a century of Olympic competition.

… Of the 14 heroes pictured on the front page of yesterday’s Mail, six were educated at independent schools.

… Nor is this some statistical anomaly. The disproportionate Olympic success of privately educated contestants has been an enduring pattern in recent years.
One recent study found that 60 per cent of British medallists at the 2004 Olympics in Athens were educated at fee-paying establishments, an increase on the 58 per cent figure for the 2000 Olympics.

… The simple explanations of the past - that independent schools were far richer than state schools - will not wash any more, because, as the Labour Government continually boasts, billions of pounds of extra funding has been poured into state schools in the past decade.

No, the real answer lies in the anti-competitive ethos that prevails in too much of the state sector. Equality of outcome is the central theme of the politically correct British state.

The concept of a talented elite is despised rather than celebrated.

The accepted mindset is that excellence should not be encouraged for fear of lowering the self-esteem of those who lag behind.

As a result, genuine sporting activity, which has raw competition at its core, has been remorselessly downgraded in state schools, too often replaced by pathetic soft games where no one loses, but no one learns how to stretch themselves.

Nor is this the only problem when it comes to state schools and sport. Another is the sale of playing fields to make way for lucrative housing developments.

Then there is the growing feminisation of the teaching profession, where more than 90 per cent of primary school teachers and 60 per cent of secondary teachers are women - a development that again leaves many sporty boys unchallenged.

… The Commons Select Committee on Culture recently demanded that our national sporting body, UK Sports, should collect more information on ‘the backgrounds’ of top athletes.

Such data, the committee said, would ‘help increase the socio-demographic spread’ of funding.

In other words, the Committee wants more social engineering, more drivel about equality, more intervention in the name of access.

This is the sort of nonsense that has ruined state education and it would only undermine our sporting competitive spirit. Gold will not be won by bureaucratic edict.

The new elites loathe male authority, and attack masculinity as patriarchy. They are consumed with the vile idea that, being white, we Britons are poisoned with racism, and this justifies disadvantaging our children. No other ethnic group can be racist because they are sentimentally categorised as victims of our oppression. They qualify for the tender ministrations of the “special needs” purveyors.

While we are blamed as oppressors we are being oppressed in our schools. What it all really means is that who and what we are, and what we do, is not acceptable to the upholders of the totalitarian orthodoxy.

A notorious example was reported by The Times of 7th March 2006:-

Traditional nursery rhymes are being rewritten at nursery schools to avoid causing offence to children.

Instead of singing “Baa baa, black sheep” as generations of children have learnt to do, toddlers in Oxfordshire are being taught to sing “Baa baa, rainbow sheep”.

A spokesman for Ofsted, the watchdog which inspects Sure Start centres, confirmed that centres are expected to “have regard to anti-discrimination good practice” and that staff should “actively promote equality of opportunity”.

The Daily Mail of 11th December 2006 reported that Christmas had been cancelled in a Norwich school:-

“It is the time of year when parents and grandparents look forward to seeing their children dressed up as Mary and Joseph or the Three Wise Men. But the traditional Nativity play at Knowland Grove Community First School in Norwich has been axed in favour of a celebration of a range of different faiths.

… Instead of a Nativity play, the school’s 100 children aged four to eight are presenting pieces about the origins of Christmas, the Jewish holiday Hanukkah and the Hindu festival of Diwali.

It is entitled the “Festival of Lights”, a phrase commonly used for Diwali, held in October.”

But the prize for the most Orwellian tale of all goes to The National Children’s Bureau. The Telegraph of 8th July 2008 reported that the NCB had issued guidance to playgroup leaders and nursery teachers advising them to watch for racist incidents among youngsters in their care:-

The guide goes on to warn that children might also “react negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying ‘yuk’”.

Staff are told: “No racist incident should be ignored. When there is a clear racist incident, it is necessary to be specific in condemning the action.”

Warning that failing to pick children up on their racist attitudes could instil prejudice, the NCB adds that if children “reveal negative attitudes, the lack of censure may indicate to the child that there is nothing unacceptable about such attitudes”.

Nurseries are encouraged to report as many incidents as possible to their local council. The guide added: “Some people think that if a large number of racist incidents are reported, this will reflect badly on the institution. In fact, the opposite is the case.”

The NCB receives £12 million a year, mainly from Government-funded organisations, and therefore the tax-payer is having money confiscated to pay for their own children to be abused in this way.

The authorities are tightening their control over our children. The school-leaving age is to be raised to 18. It is not to improve education, but there will be more time for state parenting as in school holiday clubs and breakfast clubs. It will, of course, condition them for being monitored 24 hours a day in the future-state of the E.U.

Home-schooling is perhaps the most important way open to us to reject all this. The totalitarians know it well. If all else fails, they have the example of Germany, where home-schooling has been declared illegal, and home-schooled children can be taken into custody by the authorities.

For now, in Britain they satisfy themselves with attempting to strangle home schooling. Today, home schooling parents receive income support until their youngest child is 16. But in October 2008 new legislation comes into force, and when the youngest child is 12 income support will be replaced with job seeker’s allowance - the parents will have to seek work or they will receive nothing. In 2010 the age-limit for the youngest child will be reduced to 7 years old. The totalitarians want to keep control of the children which is why we must persevere.

This legislation is purely intended to force home educating parents to send their children to school. There are no qualitative educational justifications for it. Universities are open to home schooled children. And as it costs the taxpayer about £5,000 per year to keep a child at a state school there are no economic reasons for it, either. It is a political decision.

Logically, the government should give home schoolers a tax deduction equal to the cost of accomodating the child in state system. A voucher scheme would allow parents to either home school and use the voucher to pay for necessities like books, or, to send their children to state or public school and redeem the voucher against the cost.

Home schooling families could get together to form home school co-ops. These groups could meet weekly to provide a classroom. They would support families who link to share their abilities and resources and broaden the children’s education. This would enable children to do science experiments, art projects, spelling bees, discussions; to use museums, community centres, athletic clubs, after-school programs, churches, science preserves, parks, and other community resources such as sports fields and leisure centres . By forming groups we could get discounts for block bookings. Secondary school level students may take classes at community colleges, which typically have open admission policies. Parents could work as volunteers.

Today the Daily Mail tweaked its report of 22 August 2008 (a quarter of babies are born to immigrant mothers) and come up with a more serviceable and dramatic interpretation of ONS figures:-

More than a third of babies born in England and Wales are non-white

Fewer than two-thirds of babies born in England and Wales are now registered as ‘White British’.

Newly-released figures give the first official breakdown of births by ethnic identity, and offer a striking insight into the changing face of Britain’s population.

Of 649,371 babies born in 2005, 64.4 per cent were recorded as ‘White British’.

The next largest group were the 8.7 per cent who were recorded as Asian - of whom Pakistanis formed the biggest section with 3.7 per cent.

Five per cent of babies were recorded as black - 3 per cent African, 1.2 per cent ‘black or black British Caribbean’ and 0.8 per cent ‘other black’ identities.

Mixed race babies accounted for 3.5 per cent of births, while 5.1 per cent were Irish or ‘other white identities’ and 2.4 per cent were Chinese or ‘other groups’.

Just under 11 per cent had no ethnic identity recorded.

Yesterday’s statistical bulletin from the Office for National Statistics follows a separate publication last week showing that a quarter of all babies are now born to immigrant mothers.

In London the figure is 54 per cent, rising to 75 per cent in some boroughs.

The fast-moving trend means that babies born to immigrant mothers are set to become the main driver of Britain’s population growth within the next few years, taking over from immigration itself.

The data on ethnic identity of births reveal stark differences in the lifestyles and social norms of the UK’s various communities.

Virtually all Asian babies - more than 95 per cent - were registered by married parents compared to only around half of ‘White British’ babies and just a third of the Black Caribbean group.

The proportion of births registered by single mothers - those where no father’s details are given - was highest in the Caribbean group at 20.5 per cent followed by African (13 per cent) and ‘White British’ (7 per cent).

By contrast in each of the three main Asian groups - Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi - fewer than 1.5 per cent of births were registered by a single mother.

The findings will reinforce concerns over the effects of broken homes and the lack of effective male role-models among black youths.

The remaining births were registered to unmarried couples or by parents living separately.

Half of all White British and African babies were born to mothers over 30, compared with 32 per cent of Pakistani babies and 29 per cent of Bangladeshi babies.

Commentators were divided over the implications of the figures.

Monmouth Tory MP David Davies voiced concern not over the numbers of births to ethnic minorities but over the potential problems of social integration.

He said: ‘It is now more important than ever that those large number of people with different coloured skin join in with British society.

‘Many of the people included in the figures will be black British or British Asian through and through, from the third and fourth generations, who are setting an example of integration to other ethnicities.

‘The problem comes when large numbers of people of all ethnicities are not willing to use the language, are abusing our system and demanding that laws are changed to accommodate them.’

Sir Andrew Green, chairman of the MigrationWatch think tank, said: ‘This is a measure of the extent to which uncontrolled immigration is changing the nature of our society, against the wishes of a very large majority.

‘Immigration is now expected to account for 70 per cent of our population increase in the next 25 years. This means we will have to build a city the size of Birmingham every three or four years to sustain the newcomers.

‘The Government has allowed immigration to get out of control, but they still show no sign of a serious effort to reduce it.’

But former Labour MP and minister Tony Benn hailed the figures as ‘a delightful snapshot of life in multicultural Britain.’

He said: ‘Multicultural Britain is now here to stay so it’s great that we’re finally learning to live alongside each other.

‘We are now marrying people from different countries and society is becoming more tolerant of different races.’

Ratna Dutt, Director of the Race Equality Foundation, said: ‘We’re living in a different population now than we were 20 or 30 years ago.

‘The figures show that older generations of black and ethnic minorities, who have grown up in this country, are now comfortable enough to raise their children here.

‘Children are growing up surrounded by a mixed population from all different backgrounds and all ages which is a very positive thing.

‘Britain is more racially diverse than ever, which is brilliant.’

Distribution of all births by ethnic group, 2005

* White British 418,052 (64.4 per cent)
* White Irish 2,231 (0.3 per cent)
* Any other White background 31,231 (4.8 per cent)
* Mixed White and Black Caribbean 5,778 (0.9 per cent)
* White and Black African 3,535 (0.5 per cent)
* White and Asian 5,139 (0.8 per cent)
* Any other mixed background 8,154 (1.3 per cent)
* Asian or Asian British Indian 16,053 (2.5 per cent)
* Pakistani 24,290 (3.7 per cent)
* Bangladeshi 8,241 (1.3 per cent)
* Any other Asian background 7,481 (1.2 per cent)
* Black or Black British Caribbean 7,517 (1.2 per cent)
* African 19,756 (3.0 per cent)
* Any other Black background 5,428 (0.8 per cent)
* Chinese 2,320 (0.4 per cent)
* Any other ethnic group 12,912 (2.0 per cent)
* Not stated 70,303 (10.8 per cent)

Wedgwood Benn always rejoices in whatever is most harmful for Britain. Always. He’s the U.K.‘s answer to Teddy Kennedy.

Posted by Fred Scrooby on Fri, 29 Aug 2008 23:35 | #

Notice how the Mail carefully avoided interviewing anyone with serious misgivings (apart from the relatively tame Sir Andrew Green). That’s no accident or oversight of course, but an extremely carefully-followed policy.

Posted by Fred Scrooby on Fri, 29 Aug 2008 23:42 | #

Benn’s behavior also can’t be some sort of accident; neither can Kennedy’s. Men of this sort who aren’t Jews (therefore aren’t being destructive out of their own ethnic nationalism, which would at least be understandable) must have some psychiatric defect that makes them want to harm and murder society, makes them derive much sick sadistic satisfaction from doing so, the way other men have a psychiatric defect that makes them want to harm and murder people, deriving sadistic satisfaction from that. Their unerring support for societal poisons of every conceivable variety cannot be coincidence: they are deeply mentally flawed.

Posted by Guessedworker on Fri, 29 Aug 2008 23:51 | #

I guess that is what John de Nugent means with his Psychopaths thing. Of course, mental cases frequently seek to self-heal by projecting their hatreds on to those like themselves. Along similar lines David Hamilton observes: “They are consumed with the vile idea that, being white, we Britons are poisoned with racism, and this justifies disadvantaging our children.” Children, for God’s sake ... they project onto children.

Nick Nightingale finally got himself banned at the Guardian, btw. His last observation was about such mental disease.

Are Jews responsible for the Guardian, or is that piece of toilet paper strictly a Euro psychopathology? I looked it up on Wikipedia and at Google, and it seems it’s the latter: entirely the product of the severely diseased, terminally degenerate Euro brain, with no help from malicious vengeance-bent Hebrew cunning and hatred. (Or did I miss some names?)

Europe’s path does not look good! As Stalin treated the landowners/family farmers, Europe will soon do the same to Whites. If you are a White male, you may be killed, while the White females will be forced into interracial marriages, in our own ancestral homeland! It would be bad enough to lose the US/Canada; it would be even worse to lose the US/Canada and Europe!

I honestly can’t understand how degenerate the Europeans (in Europe) have gotten. Apparently, they would rather have sexually promiscous (and race-mixing) daughters, homosexual sons than a saved race. They are willing to accept even Police State, just to maintain this degenerate behavior. I guess a totalitarian government is ok, only as long as it seeks the destruction of the White race and Christian religion!

Their expression of not even apathy, but absolute antipathy and degeneracy “European Whites” almost makes me no longer care to save them; but we need them, if we want our descendants to be White. On a moral basis (collectively speaking), on the observation of 90-95% of our people, our race doesn’t deserve to survive. In a way, we waived our right to survive when we brought in our first millions of immigrants into not just the US, but even into our ancestral homeland. But the show must go on, and we must survive. From Majorityrights, and beyond, it’s our job to fight back and preserve our people. The outlook appears grime, but we can survive, if only we can find our spirit, in time.

Race Realists of today may also benefit, as they will be the likely leaders of the White Nationalist Movements (at least early on). We will be the ones to influence how our race will operate. I know almost fellow Whites (that I know), whould hate me for realizing our race is on the brink of extinction; but I am not, and would be not ashamed. For I know I am right; and I also know they will know I am right, eventually. Things will turn around; it’s just a matter of time. And we, the “crazy, insane, ‘racists,’” will be admired for being right. It’s like the stock market. This will be a silver lining, on an individual basis.

But to be honest, I would rather forego the indivdual benefits potentially entailed by our current predicament, than risk my race’s future.

I don’t think they (‘our people’) consciouslly look at, or consider it in those terms, I think, (FWIW) it is a collective deep malaise, some deep seated mass psychologically disturbed condition that has been brought about by the total disorientation of postmodern thinking. I see it in peoples eyes,

I think with the political application of postmodern ideology into everyday life - has sent us mad, our compass has gone haywire, insanity and chaos rules, more importantly, the rejection of the existence anything higher than ourselves (God) then renders all of this (life) pointless - who cares, let’s get out of here.

On another tack, I make no apologies for repeating once more - our way of life for the past 250 years or so (modernity) is rapidly coming to an end, no-one knows what’s ahead or what sort of civilisation will evolve. discussed more.

What in the WORLD can we make of Benn? As Lincoln said, “You can favor what totally harms society some of the time, and you can favor what only partially harms society all of the time, but you can’t favor what totally harms society all of the time.” That’s impossible unless you’re doing it on purpose the way the Jews are.

For men like Ted Kennedy and Wedgewood Benn who aren’t Jewish to consistently, absolutely unerringly, with never a single solitary exception, not one in their entire careers, their entire lives, favor that which totally, utterly harms, ruins, destroys, annihilates society absolutely all of the time, without exception whatsoever, cannot conceivably be some sort of coincidence: either they’re doing it on purpose with the explicit goal, privately, of ... harming society, what else could their goal be??? ... or they’re psychos. Either way, both ought to be locked up where they can’t harm decent people any longer, and throw away the key.

Not to mention the Daily Mail editors who deliberately excluded any dissenting voice from the article, apart from Sir Andrew Green’s — why wasn’t someone from the BNP asked what he thought, for example? Or some other public figure — John Rhys-Davies for example, who is on record as questioning the wisdom of what’s going on (and there are lots of others)? Why was there not one voice giving the opposing view in that article? That’s no oversight but deliberate policy. Who, exactly, is setting that policy at the Daily Mail and what, exactly, is his ethnicity? You see, I no longer believe in miasmas such as “liberalism” as the cause of our disease. I believe in specific germs as the cause — discoverable, treatable germs. I’ve gotten out of the Middle Ages and caught up, finally, with Louis Pasteur.

Public figures and academics who could’ve been interviewed for that article: Prof. Ellis late of Leeds University before the race-replacement advocates hunted him out, Prof. Lynn, Prof. Rushton (an Englishman living in Canada), that professor of Economics at Cambridge (can’t think of his name, began with R, I think) who said there was no net economic benefit to Britain from this open-doors immigration policy, or the man who regularly churns out excellent pure sanity of this calibre:

“NO NEGRO PROBLEM” - TOP LEFTIST

Faced at the Edinburgh Book Festival with the ingenious London leftie, Kenan Malik FRSA, who admits there are some physical race differences of relevance to medicine but then cunningly insists race is a “social construct” that should only be used “in context” (i.e. under his supervision) and, since biologists are generally “divided” as to whether race is real (e.g. Craig Venter vs Neil Risch and Armand Leroi), it would be better to get heads back in the sand about race - not least the head of Borat Obama’s pastor Jeremiah Wright who had become convinced that Whites were `left-brained’ and Blacks were `right-brained’ - I questioned the tall Indian-born (of Muslim parentage) ex-Trotskyite writer, broadcaster and LU.Surrey Visiting Fellow as follows:

“I would like to congratulate Kenan Malik on his complex 35-minute dance around the the field of race; and especially on discussing `race realism’—a term which was invented in Edinburgh. I sometimes feel Kenan resembles the Archbishop of Canterbury: struggling to reconcile irreconcilable Christians and Muslims and at risk of falling between two stools. But no matter!

“Getting away from the lofty problems of whether race is a scientific concept, I would like to ask Kenan a strictly practical question. As he probably agrees, the major worldwide racial difference is that in intelligence between Whites and East Asians on the one hand and Blacks on the other. As I’m quite sure he agrees, Whites have largely fail to integrate Blacks into the modern cultures and lifestyles which Whites themselves have created. For example, a million Blacks make up 50% of the USA’s prison population though Blacks only constitute 13% of the general US population. Whether in the USA, the UK, the Caribbean, France or sub-Saharan Africa (where the average Black IQ is only around 70), Blacks present huge problems of crime, sexual disease, single parenting, educational failure and destitution.

“Yet once upon a time Blacks were broadly integrated - employed, fit and healthy, and aspiring to Christianity and family values. That system was of course slavery; and its abolition - a British Empire `first’ - made Blacks unemployable, with Whites having to resort to bringing Chinese labour to the Americas and Indian labour to south-east Africa. Now, today, it is China which has plans to integrate Blacks: there are already at least a million Chinese in Africa selling guns to despots in return for minerals and building bridges and railways. So does Kenan think the Chinese imperial effort will be likely to solve the Negro problem?”

As the Pepper Theatre tent rang with cries from the sedate midday middle-class audience of “Neo-Nazi!”, KM gave only this reply before passing rapidly to other questioners: “There is no Negro problem.” But at least my art historian wife was radiant that I had, for the third time this Festival, I had managed to put the boot into the rump of an overpaid ignoracist.

How come not one of the above voices, or any number of other like-minded men, was interviewed for the Mail article?

Today’s lesson: What’s “race-replacement”?

Answer: it’s when government (usually with plenty of Jewish backing) deliberately turns places that were once like this

into places that are now like this:

Savile Town is perhaps most famous for its role in the British Muslim community. The area is “some 97-100% Muslim,” and is home to the Markazi mosque, which is run by Tablighi Jamaat. [...The mosque’s] attached school, the Institute of Islamic Education, received low pass rates for several years. [...I]n the eyes of residents the area does not feel at all safe [...]. There is a Shariah arbitration court in the area, which deals with family issues.

That’s race-replacement in action (attention JJR, if you happen to be looking in!): that town, Savile Town, has now been successfully race-replaced.

The general plan is to do the same to every village, town, and city throughout the U.K., Europe, North America, Australia/New Zealand, and whatever Euro holdouts may still be left in South Africa.

Like what you see? Yes? If so, rejoice, because it’s galloping great guns.

No? Don’t like it?

Then resolve to do something about it. One way is to vote for the BNP and only them until things start to make sense again: the people you’ve been brainwashed to think are your friends may well be your mortal enemies and vice-versa.

How can we be certain that’s the general plan? Because every question no matter how polite and humble as to whether the process will be capped at some point, whether there’s some theoretical upper limit to it, throws the other side into hysterics, into convulsions of denunciations of the questioner, threats to have him arrested and tried for “hate,” condemnations of him and of anyone else who might even be thinking of asking a similar question as filthy racist scum who doesn’t deserve to live, let alone walk free outside the walls of a prison.

That’s how we know it’s the general plan: if it weren’t, when we ask if additional towns are slated to undergo the race-replacement process, the answer would come, “no, the process is going to be capped after a certain number of villages, towns, and cities have been race-replaced.” But the only answer that ever comes, apart from threat of arrest for even asking the question, implies they have no intention of ever stopping the process.

Now, there are what, fifty million Brits? And there are, what, six billion pieces of mystery meat whom the other side has every intention of letting pour in? OK, put two and two together.

There’s your answer: The other side won’t stop until complete race-replacement has been achieved.

Oh wait, I just remembered, one of the other side’s mouthpieces, David Blunkett, came right out and said it, in answer to someone’s humble question: no, there was to be no limit to it, he replied, “no theoretical upper limit” to race-replacement. So, there you have it: the entire nation is targeted for race-replacement. The entire Eurosphere, in fact.

Don’t like it? Start letting the other side know. The easiest way to start letting them know? Support and vote for the BNP. There are other ways of course, but that’s the easiest.

The problem:

A friend of mine is currently [...] complaining about the use of Howard Zinn’s egregious A People’s History of the United States in an Advanced Placement history class at his local [high-]school. [...] Susan Sontag’s charge that “the white race is the cancer of human history” perfectly sums up the spirit of A People’s History. Zinn presents American history as one long series of outrages committed by whites against non-whites and by the rich against the poor. White Americans do not have a single thing to be proud of, as all of our supposed accomplishments turn out to have been mere pretexts for the heartless persecution of the have-nots. [...] So inherently evil is Zinn’s America that the only appropriate response to it is revolution. [...]

The degree to which this epic of bile has become ensconced in the American education establishment is proof of a society gone mad. It is commonly used as a textbook in high school and college history courses. The College Board recommends A People’s History for use in [high-school] AP courses in American history.

[...For Zinn,] Western culture is an unnatural aberration that has made whites into greedy, capitalistic, authoritarian monsters. [...] In Zinn’s account, victorious Western culture in America has created nothing but misery, unrelieved by any positive accomplishment, up until the present day. [...] All Zinn sees in the history of American business is the exploitation of workers, whose poverty and misery he describes in endless detail. [...] Similarly, Zinn’s portrait of race relations in America is one of unremitting persecution and exploitation. Whites are simply incapable of treating blacks generously, or even humanely.

Zinn’s animus against white America is particularly evident in his description of the Civil Rights Era. One might have thought that a historian who so passionately desired to better the lot of black Americans would have regarded this period as a time of progress. But not Zinn: rather, he regards civil rights laws as a meaningless sop thrown to blacks to derail black revolution. [...]

Zinn thinks Martin Luther King betrayed black Americans by accepting the passage of civil rights laws as victory. Rather, Zinn sides with Malcolm X. This “powerful,” “eloquent spokesman” was “closer to the mood of the black community” when he denounced King for “selling out” and called for “revolution.” [...]

Zinn’s treatment of the Black Panthers, who succeeded King, as the “new heroes” of black America is just as adulatory. Zinn conveniently ignores the intense racial hatred that motivated the Black Power movement and its bloody history. One would never know from A People’s History that the Black Panthers were responsible for shooting 15 law enforcement officers or that Malcolm X believed that whites were devils created by an evil sorcerer.
Zinn’s enthusiasm for figures who preached violent revolution against white society is profoundly irresponsible. Indeed, it is effectively an endorsement of violence against whites.

[...] In the future, I will post action alerts with advice on how to best go about getting Howard Zinn and his minions out of our schools.

[...] If A People’s History shows up on the curriculum of a school, I don’t think it’s appropriate to demand that his perspective be balanced by a conservative one. Rather, you should demand that Zinn be removed from the curriculum on the grounds that A People’s History both fails as a history of the US and is morally pernicious.

Zinn’s book fails as a history because it simply ignores essential elements of its subject matter. Major topics in American history are absent: the creation of a middle class society in the 20th century and the American tradition of technological innovation, for example. A People’s History fails to address American culture as well: how can a history of America omit substantial discussions of the Transcendentalist movement and the worldview of the Puritans? How can it omit any discussion of the American national character? How can it devote only one paragraph to the Bill of Rights, one of the most influential documents in human history?

[...] Beyond these failings, Zinn’s book is morally pernicious. By glamorizing the Black Power cult of violence and hatred, Zinn excuses, if he doesn’t actually encourage violence against and hatred of white people. [Scroob note: Zinn of course is Jewish, and his encouragement of “violence against and hatred of white people” is actually encouragement of “violence against and hatred of Euro people because Jews see them as the enemy of Jews.”]

[...W]hen it comes to Zinn, you shouldn’t demand that his perspective be balanced by a conservative one — there are, of course, no pro-white textbooks. Rather, you should explain to them that Zinn does not offer a legitimate perspective to begin with and should, therefore, simply be removed from the curriculum.

One solution of the problem as elaborated by Stanley of ResistingDefamation.org:

Howard Zinn: A Legacy of Heinrich Graetz

Howard Zinn in all his writings has emphasized a defamatory view of the diverse white American peoples that follows in the footsteps of Heinrich Graetz who set out the pattern for this kind of written assault for the first time in Germany in 1868 when he announced he would scourge and flog the majority ethnicity in his home country. (That’s almost half a century before the first world war.)

See: http://www.ResistingDefamation.org/sub/g29.htm

Since that time we have seen Noel Ignatiev at Harvard, the late Susan Sontag, and numerous others compete with the historical Heinrich Graetz to out-do his level of vitriol and destructiveness.

These writers seek out nuggets of disgrace (which exist) and whip the majority demographic with scathing attacks. While adults are able to sort out truth from lies, and to judge proportionality in weighing the good and bad of history, our children are the ones affected so strongly and so wrongly. In a way, Zinn is really a child abuser, guilty of molesting the minds of children, and playing false with their right to a decent sense of self-respect. Zinn’s crimes against children are of the sort that will not be easily forgotten, either here or in judgments to come.

What To Do?

Re-stating the problem is not, of course, a solution to the problem so I’m wondering if this could be an action item. To make it work, we would need these things:

1) The email addresses of the board and top administrators at the school. (Not the teacher … no one should directly write the teacher.)

2) Perhaps five whole paragraphs that seem self-evidently erroneous and that we can draw quotes from and arguments against.

3) A contest for the five best e-mailed arguments sent to the board and administrators asking that the Zinn book be relegated to a much older age of student or to be matched with a more balanced view. If we send blind copies to the web master here, he can make such a determination.

It’s Probably The Law

In California, there is a statutory procedure required when a text is questioned that requires lots of people brought together. The temptation by all parties at such a conference will be to insist that the complainant provide names of authors and texts that give an alternate view. Take a lesson from other demographics … it’s not your job to find texts, it’s your right to criticize until they find a good text. Don’t be trapped into suggesting another text, that’s their job.

An eighties and nineties product of the U.S. school system here…

The sole dedicated American history book assigned to us from K-12 was Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States, in tenth grade specifically. This was the standard text in my high school, and possibly for the city school system.

The book spends not more than several pages on the Constitution in the most fleeting manner. (Dunno for sure as yours truly cut a few classes here and there, though this was the only time in all of K-12 the Constitution was taught.) Made hindsight sense after the post-911 loss of almost all our constitutional rights.

Martin Luther King Jr. propaganda began in first grade… also loads of Harriet Tubman, George Washington Carver of peanut fame also. Almost nothing on the Founding Fathers.

Also wondered why students were forced to learn Spanish rather than a customary European language (this was in the early 1990s). Even back then one got the eery impression someone wanted to flood the U.S. with Mexican immigrants, or merge the countries. (Back then Hispanics were only maybe 4-5% of the population, rather than 14% now.)
