Malkin Misses Real Issue w/Morgan Spurlock
03/27/2006: While Michelle Malkin provides a nice little tidbit regarding a recent Morgan Spurlock presentation at Hatboro-Horsham High School, I think she misses the point.
While Malkin highlights Spurlock’s hour-long tirade that included attacks against teachers and special-ed students, as well as voluminous use of various obscenities, that is not the real issue.
The real issue is what this says about the sorry state of government education. Why would school officials divert students away from real learning so they could hear an entertainer run his sorry excuse of a pie hole for an hour?
Rather than teaching the skills that are necessary–reading, writing, oral communications, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, history, civics, financial management–the educrocracy views education as a socio-psychological endeavor in which students are objects for social indoctrination. Ergo, social engineering of this variety is a regular occurrence in schools; this incident is only news because it backfired on the school board.
I spent grades 10 through 12 in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Hatboro-Horsham High School is considered one of the “better” schools in that area. Hatboro-Horsham is a suburban “upper middle-class” area, just outside of Philadelphia. (I lived in Harleysville, PA and attended Souderton Area High School, which was in the same region and considered a “lesser” school than Hatboro-Horsham.)
Remember: this incident happened at one of the “better” g-schools.
