Creepy Joe Biden promoted “Universal Preschool” at his State of Confusion speech February 7th and now comes disturbing evidence on how teachers are to treat those three- and four-year-olds.
In October, the North Carolina Association for the Education of Young Children hosted a conference for child care professionals to complete the mandatory training hours needed to remain licensed in the state. Attendees were required to watch Reflecting on Anti-bias Education in Action: The Early Years, a documentary that follows teachers at two West Coast preschools as they drill their young pupils in a number of “woke” subjects.
At about the 1:30 mark the *teachers* are all remarking how absolutely wonderful the brainwashing has become so embedded that one preschooler spontaneously piped up “non-binary” after the teacher was already trying to get the kids to “let go” of the concept of boys and girls.
Everything looks so nice and happy and yet, this is abject child abuse. One of the first truths that a small child learns, that is at the very foundation of not just their own identity but in how they will encounter the world, is that the child is either a boy or a girl. Full Stop. And here are adults, adults a child is told to trust, who are indoctrinating them to question their own bedrock reality.
Watching just the first minute and a half here you realize that this adult was bullied by children into giving in to their demands to hold BuyLargeMansions BlackLivesMatter demonstrations in all the classrooms of the school immediately. There is no way these children, well under doubled-digits in age, came into this radical activist mindset on their own.
There is another part of the film where a gay male teacher talks about wearing a skirt to school and discussing it with his very young students.
Hmmmmm … there’s a name for adults who want to involve captive children in their sex lives … rhymes with “broomer”, if I recall correctly.
Remember now, this is a North Carolina day-care accreditation organization that made viewing of this documentary mandatory for teachers to watch. The documentary features film from two Westcoast preschools (this is my shocked face).
History offers many examples of what happens when a government is hostile to parents and seizes the children to its ideological ends. From the Soviet created cult over Pavlik Morozov to Mao’s Red Guard, turning children into ideological zombies who reject their families is not new. Even Orwell, in 1984, touched on it.
With those children, he thought, that wretched woman must lead a life of terror. Another year, two years, and they would be watching her night and day for symptoms of unorthodoxy. Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it. The songs, the processions, the banners, the hiking, the drilling with dummy rifles, the yelling of slogans, the worship of Big Brother — it was all a sort of glorious game to them. All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children. And with good reason, for hardly a week passed in which The Times did not carry a paragraph describing how some eavesdropping little sneak — ’child hero’ was the phrase generally used — had overheard some compromising remark and denounced its parents to the Thought Police.
It is bad enough to be fighting neo-Marxism in colleges and corporate boardrooms, but preschool? Preschool??!!
Whatever you do, don’t give your children to these schools. Home school, form a group and hire a teacher you trust. At least replace your school boards, demand vouchers and cameras in classrooms.
Save your children from being abused. Save your children from being turned against you.

Within this decade, there will be a drive to outlaw homeschooling. The law’s supporters will claim that homeschooling is “antisocial,” “academically unreliable,” “constitutes child abuse,” and whatever else they can come up with. They’ll point to Germany: “If they can ban it, so can we!” And as they will have some of the most powerful groups in the country backing them, they just might succeed.
Several states are already pursuing this goal, though indirectly. They’re doing everything they can to make it impossible for ordinary, not-rich families to practice homeschooling. If the federal government gets into the act — and the Left would love that — homeschoolers could be in serious trouble.
Cameron says: Oh, the drive to outlaw it has been going on for years. There was an article posted by VG about a Hahvahd educated person talking about the need to stop homeschooling.
But this is the typical Progressive Democrat mindset. They love having slaves and will do anything to bring that institution back.
GWB says: More than years, actually.
It was successfully banned in a LOT of places until about 25 years ago. It took a lot of determined hard work from a lot of folks to make it as available as it is across the states. And it still isn’t very free in some places.
Any attempts to tamp it down are repeats of what went on in the 70s, fighting to regain lost ground in the 90s.
GWB says: All of these people are involved in abusing children. If necessary the public needs to form mobs with rope and torches and eliminate this threat to the children. Don’t just try and avoid it – STOP IT.
(And, yes, homeschool!)
Call the police on these folks. Sue them. Form mobs to hound them. (Yes, I’m perfectly fine with that for my moral purposes. I’ve never liked cancel mobs, but that’s primarily because of the morals they espouse – which are not virtuous.)
Cameron says: The lawsuits need to get to the point where some school administrator is walking out of a courtroom only to get served papers for another complaint. Keep it up until they learn their place.
Carol Marks says: Thankfully my kids are grown and out of this government system. However, I still wish I had homeschooled them. At the time, I was going through a lot of stuff and didn’t think I COULD homeschool them. Looking back, I should have moved mountains to do it. Shame on me. My kids still turned out good and decent, thankfully. I just wish I had homeschooled them. I feel for parents who want to homeschool but can’t. I wish there was a solution for them.
GWB says: There are a lot of solutions to help people homeschool – and some of it depends on location, of course.
We took advantage of co-ops, online courses, homeschool conventions, and support groups. We knew single mothers who worked full-time, families that were on the edge of welfare, high-income dual-income parents, and everything in-between those. The key is to understand that “homeschool” does not equal “go it alone school.”
If you know people who would like to homeschool but don’t know how they could pull it off, get them in touch with the Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA). They can point them toward state support groups who can help them get into it, as well as other resources. They will also guide them on the legal aspects in your state (i.e., do you need approval or just notification). (Note, they are not a support group in themselves, but a legal help organization, but they are happy to hand you off to a support group.)
And don’t feel down about it, Carol. You have the opportunity to help do it with grandkids! 😉
(Yes, multi-generational families make it even easier to homeschool. Just like in them thar olden days! 😉 )
Scott says: “From the Soviet created cult over Pavlik Morozov to Mao’s Red Guard, turning children into ideological zombies who reject their families is not new.”… Good post Darleen, though you did leave out the Hitler Youth.. Almost every totalitarian regime in history has their own version..
