Robert Kraychik

Reporter for Breitbart News, Kraychik wrote an article on 12/11/19: (Historian: America's Homeschooling Mothers Are Leading Our Next Revolution).

He writes about historian and professor C. Bradley Thompson's claim that homeschooling mothers are leading our next revolution. Thompson starts by identifying the philosophical values that led to our exceptionalism--self-evident truths like all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with inalienable rights like life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

The reason that America is so balkanized no is that its people are divided or fragmented either in support of these traditional values, or and the Progressives that hate all things American.

It would seem that this cultural war and divide is widening and deepening.

Traditionalists and conservatives believe in the Founders that their values were objectively true, but Leftists, now secular and backers of moral relativism, snicker at these old values as out of date, and mere opinion, mere subjective truth.

For conservatives, truth is absolute, certain, permanent and universal.

Prgoressives define equality as equality of outcome, and conservatives confine equality to equality of oportunity and the rule of law, Thompson observes.

Thompson warns that the Left is winning the cultural war, the war of ideas by brainwashing kids in K-12 schools, and in academia too.

Homeschooling is suggested by Thompson, that by pulling kids out of public schools, parents can teach children civics, traditional and Western values.

I think we should pull kids out of university too.
