Are education systems "bribed" and extorted by the federal funding systems in place?
The centralized systems in education and federal funding appear to require political approaches to providing education.
Does this equate to extortion and forced propaganda in our education system, driven by a centralized force so powerful that the funding mechanism has created an indoctrination network?
Can a school/university get funding if it refuses to instruct the flavor of the day topics, such as CRT, Gender identification, and ESG?
Can students who have religious faiths choose to bypass indoctrination that violates their code of morality?
Can it be asked without condemnation, or are we now in a police state globally where asking these questions creates a digital profile that classifies the one asking as a threat to those in power?
Modern censorship, cutoff of access to social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Meta, etc. are real and relevant examples of abuse of power already taking place.
It seems that federal funds are currently used, not to assist in financing a well-educated society, but rather, to extort institutions into programming a conformist society of minions to centralized command and control authoritarian rule.
I find this to be a troubling signal that shows that the education system has already fallen victim to being the frog in a pot of water that slowly becomes boiling water to kill the frog, with the frog never even knowing it.
It is a classical case of domination of people in power over society not today but since decades or perhaps centuries. Both administrative and financial power is exercised. The parties in power naturally want system to support them and their policies and favor their actions. The influence may be exercised covertly or overtly. Funding is important aspect to run any institution. But let us not forget that those in power with particular paradigm and policies were elected by votes, on principle of majority. If fools vote, fools you will get who will exercise bad influence on institutional framework of country. The heads of universities and institutions even the chief Justice of Supreme court are pressurized to tow the line of the ruling party. It does not matter from where funds come form , story is same. be it Federal, Provincial or from any charitable organization. Most of big philanthropic organizations and foundations in USA are not that much philanthropic as they look outwardly. It is no secret. Hence you just cant rule out pressures on all institutions to tow the line of ruling parties or mafia , whatever . Fairness is only a perception not reality. In societies who value ethics, independence of education and judiciary have much lesser incidents of this type. It is only matter of extent to which pressure happens. it can't be 0% or 100%. Varies form place to place.
@Dr. Rajendra Gupta : If, in fact, the ones announced as the elected officials are truly elected, as opposed to being placed viaa corrupted election system, I might agree - if you elect the corrupt, you get corruption.
However, recent elections globally have exposed a far deeper concern that " elections" have been compromised by criminal actions and as a result, voters didn't get the fools that they voted for, they got a lineup of predetermined players that are fulfilling an unelected agenda, for their benefit, not for the benefit of the world.
This requires a deep dive analysis into every aspect of voting , custody of vores, authentication and verification of identity for voters and it requires the willingness to seek truth, not political expediency.
Unfortunately, systems that were innocent, such as education, can become doctrinal or ideological elements in the hands of certain governments.
