When I worked in war zones, we were regularly given situational training. This included mine and situational awareness, and a whole slew of safety training. Every time we left the base, we were given a briefing about the route and a refresher on mine and situational awareness.
After the first few years, I would bring this thinking back with me. When I came home, I would have a hard time walking on grass because we were told to stay on hard surfaces. At times I would catch myself paying close attention to surroundings.
Just before I stopped my contracting work I was home on leave. My brother and I were driving back from seeing a movie. We stopped at a red light. There was an empty bus stop with a box of pampers at 10pm, I had been taught to recognise anything out of the ordinary and report it.
The first thing I thought was the box of pampers was an IED, it was out of place.
This was conditioning that had changed my world view
Since the end of 2018, I have been reading a lot of Critical Social Justice scholarship.
For the last few months, I find myself seeing race problems, or it might be sexism, or some other form of perceived oppression, in everyday situations, and I'm not looking for them.
Critical Social justice conditions you to problematise everything. You look for transgressions in the smallest things and are taught that every disparity is due to oppression and always from the same source.
This stuff has been taught in universities in one form or another for
40+ years. The current iteration of it using an Intersectional framework since the early 90s. CSJ has been in high school curriculums in certain school districts since 2010-2012. Middle schools probably 2014ish, 2019 it was in K-12 in multiple states both blue and red.
Now it's being pushed in a lot more states. This is indoctrinating children into seeing oppression of every kind in any disparity.
This is teaching kids to be hyperfocused on race and racial components of all encounters.
CSJ curriculums will teach kids that there are specific ways of knowing that are only for people with particular colour skin.
Kids will be taught to treat each other differently and by different standards based on the colour of each other's skin.
Take a look at what's going on in the US 8 years of CSJ curriculums in high schools and universities pumping out people trained in only one thing, finding problems where there aren't any. Or all problems have a univariant solution when they are far more complicated than their
philosophy permits.
We need to put a stop to the poisoning of little children's minds.
Universities have to decide if they are committed to the truth or to Social Justice, the two are mutually exclusive.
