“Restoring prayer ... will scarcely at this date solve the grievous public school problem. Public schools are expensive and massive centers for cultural and ideological brainwashing, at which they are unfortunately far more effective than in teaching the 3 R's or in keeping simple order within the schools. Any plan to begin dismantling the public school monstrosity is met with effective opposition by the teachers' and educators' unions. Truly radical change is needed to shift education from public to unregulated private schooling, religious and secular, as well as home schooling by parents.” WellsProblemHomeSchoolOrderParentReligiousPrayerSimpleEducationTeacherPlansTeachingNeededMetsUnionsSolveRadicalExpensiveOppositionMassiveSecularPublic SchoolIdeologicalSchoolingEducatorRestoringBrainwashingPrivate SchoolMonstrosityRadical Change Author:Murray Rothbard
“Do not consider any act of service as demeaning. Sweeping the streets, for example, is not below your dignity. Do you not sweep the floor of your homes? Do you not scrub and wash off dirt? When you undertake such tasks, the villagers will also gladly share in them. Why feel ashamed to be good? The ridicule that may be cast on you has been the reward of many saints. It will soon fade away. Muhammad was driven out of Mecca by those who could not appreciate his teachings. Jesus was crucified. But their names resound in the heart of millions.” FeelsHeartMayHas BeensHomeJesusNamesMillionsShareStreetsTeachingExampleAppreciateDignityTasksRewardsSaintCastsBe GoodDrivenAshamedFadesDirtRidiculeMuhammadSweepingFade AwayMeccaDemeaningActs Of Service Author:Sathya Sai Baba

“We got email today from an LGF reader who was browsing the Lexis research system and discovered that anti-American, anti-capitalist icon Noam Chomsky has embarrassingly capitalist tastes; among other expensive property he owns a 36,155 square foot home near Cambridge, a 13,503 square foot vacation home, and four boats. And we won't even mention the cars.

“The New York Times columnist, Thomas Friedman, cited Haqqani to make the argument that Guantánamo must be shut down. He wrote:“Husain Haqqani, a thoughtful Pakistani scholar now teaching at Boston University, remarked to me: 'When people like myself say American values must be emulated and America is a bastion of freedom, we get Guantánamo Bay thrown in our faces. When we talk about the America of Jefferson and Hamilton, people back home say to us: 'That is not the America we are dealing with. We are dealing with the America of imprisonment without trial.'” PeopleHomeAmericaFacesValuesTeachingNew YorkArgumentUniversityTrialsThoughtfulThrownScholarBostonNew York TimesBack HomeImprisonmentColumnistsHamiltonAmerican ValuesBoston University Author:Husain Haqqani
“But we are learning from the teaching and example of Jesus that life itself is a religion, that nothing is more sacred than a human being, that the end of all right institutions, whether the home or the church or an educational establishment, or a government, is the development of the human soul.” HumansSoulEndsHomeGovernmentJesusChurchHuman BeingsTeachingExampleDevelopmentInstitutionsSacredEducationalEstablishmentHuman Soul Book:The Speeches of Anna Howard Shaw Source: The Speeches of Anna Howard Shaw
