Let’s destroy liberal academia, the root of so many of the West’s problems

Proof that socialist bureaucrats are destroying education.
I know the education system is broken and beyond repair. The socialist treasonists running it keep saying otherwise. Schools are doing well, teachers are teaching brilliantly, and our kids come out educated beyond peer. All complete lies of course. An… Read More ›
Barbarians in our media product of dysfunctional education system?
Chilling and dreadful. I mean it. When I read this article I was chilled. It made me feel dread. England was the crucible of individual liberty. Who is responsible for making it the Orwellian society it is today? The story… Read More ›
Kayla Mueller was a victim of academic leftist indoctrination
The liberal media can’t wait to make a heroine out of the poor 26 year old girl murdered by ISIS. In fact Mueller was an extreme left activist whose misguided beliefs put her life in jeopardy and eventually ended it…. Read More ›

Another Marxist academic mis-educating our children
In the late 1970s, when I left school, about 5000 Kiwis were unemployed. From 1984, we adopted a market model to organise our economic lives. This involved the privatisation of government assets, the adoption of free trade and the freeing… Read More ›
