Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.WHAT A STUPID TIME TO BE ALIVE!Please take time to read the previous blog and/or listen to the previous podcast in order to understand the intent of this one. Part I blog can be found here and Part II blog can be found here. The challenge: We, as a nation, are choosing not to end the chaos in our schools, streets, cities and states.What are my American alphabet axioms?* ABORTION* BORDERS* CHRISTIANS* DEBT* EDUCATION* FENTANYL* GIRLS* HOMELESSNESS* IRAN* JUDICIAL SYSTEM* KNOWLEDGE* LIES* MARIJUANA* NATIONAL ANTHEM* OPIOIDS* PHOBIC* QUID PRO QUO* RACISM* SOCIALISM* TEACHERS* UKRAINE* VIOLENCE* WOMAN* XENOPHOBIC* YOUTH* ZELENSKYSo let’s dive into the remainder of my perceived axioms, how they affect our educational system with viable solutions offered.Racismexists in our culture, our government and our schools. I’ve experienced it first hand. During the 80’s and 90’s I ran a performing arts camp for kids for 10 summers. My partner in this venture was an Afro-American man who instilled passion and genuine love into his teaching. He passed away in 2018 and I was honored to speak at his funeral. Charles Bowling was a fixture in the education of thousands of students in Lincoln, Nebraska.Every summer we would end the camps with a bus ride south to Kansas City and perform at Worlds of Fun. Afterwards Charles and I would find an air conditioned restaurant to enjoy a lunch while our students rode all the rides possible in two hours. During one of those well-deserved lunches, Charles and I were waiting in the buffet line. A crass-voiced woman cut in front of Charles, pointed at him and told him to get more chicken from the kitchen, thinking he was a server. Charles laughed at the lady’s impertinent command but I was standing in shock that someone would consider Charles a server only because of the color of his skin. It didn’t stop there.When Charles and I would walk together before or after concerts, the contorted, sometimes hateful facial expressions of white people were not lost on me. But in all transparency, Black people looked at Charles in the same disgust. Granted it was decades ago, but I have seen the same repulsion from both cultures in present day.SOLUTION: Teaching Black children they are oppressed and are victims of a racist country because of the color of their skin denies the success of Barak and Michelle Obama, Louie Armstrong, Cicely Tyson and Oprah Winfrey and thousands more. Instructing white children they are responsible for slavery and the scourge of racism denies the attributes of Anne McCarty Braden, John Brown, and many others who were white activists.A year ago I proposed the Golden Rule Project which could be implemented in the schools. Here is the mission statement: Applying the principle of the Golden Rule, students, parents, teachers and administrators will better demonstrate “treating others as you wish to be treated”. Recognizing each student’s story and fostering an atmosphere void of prejudice is paramount to success-based outcomes. This will be accomplished through a 30 minute student/teacher meeting (at least one time per week), with a regularly assigned teacher. This instructor will provide mentoring, appropriate social interaction and guided discussions regarding possible mental health issues. (Paula Baack, April 27, 2022)Socialismis not what the majority of Americans wish for their country. The redistribution of wealth, powerful government, higher taxes and government regulations is contrary to the ideas of our republic. Unfortunately Civic and U.S. Government classes are either no longer taught or they are taught through an anti-American lens. How does this affect education?The very idea of public schooling is directly correlated to socialism, according to Jacob Hornberger (The Future of Freedom Foundation). Under public schooling, the government owns, operates, controls, and dictates the provision of education in society. In a purely socialist system, like North Korea, this means that every child in the nation is required to receive his education in a government facility.SOLUTION: Private and home schools have grown exponentially. Whereas the pandemic generated more interest in both, the rise in Private and Home Schooling continues. Most Americans do not want the public schools sexualizing their children, Critical Race Theory or the cancelation of parental rights. The main issue facing private schooling is cost while time and resources are challenges for the home schools. With a School Voucher system, this could be remedied.Teachers Unionshave been cast in a poor light with the shutdowns of the pandemic to the controversial teachings of gender and race. In all transparency, I support Teachers’ Unions. And here is why.Teaching in both Nebraska and Colorado, I found myself, more than a few times, w
