I saw your article on Twitter. It was not a delight to read. Indeed, I found it rather ... chilling.
But, apparently, there are some a priori insights I have yet to grasp. Here's Melissa Harris-Perry (ex-msnbc host and public intellectual) to explain it in no uncertain terms:
"We have never invested as much in public education as we should have, because we’ve always had kind of a private notion of children. ‘Your kid is yours, and totally your responsibility.’ We haven’t had a very collective notion of ‘These are our children.’ So part of it is, we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. Once it’s everybody’s responsibility, and not just the household’s, then we start making better investments.”
As a poet, I've become pretty attentive, if not obsessed, with the precise meaning of words. "... collective notion of ‘These are our children.’
Collective ... doth thou jest? Do people no longer remember the Cold War and why we had philosophical differences with the Soviets and their collectives?
Richq11, here's a couple of articles you might like:
The collective mindset is what's destroying America... on purpose... This is all part of a plan to put the UN in the driver's seat so to speak. I look forward to reading your posts and here's another part of this puzzle with another to follow today.
