A Tribute to The Lost Era of Old Maid School Teachers Who Loved Beauty of Classical Arts More than Racism and Feminism

The major wings of today’s American version of the imprisonment by Marxism, (government’s dictatorship of citizen subjects forced to be made equal) rising primarily from radical feminists of all colors, shapes, sizes and sexes and the Eric Holder-Al Sharpton black racist crowds. Both war against white conservative males, the living who are smeared for their lack of skin color and/or their maleness, yes, but particularly the dead, especially the names of those who have contributed so much to the arts, sciences, the humanities, the learnings from our white human male past which have recently politically being made to be forgotten for the same reasons.

Modern Marxism and its feminist and black racist chapters who infect our American schools insist that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No beauty can become more beautiful than another. All art is equally beautiful……..which logically means ‘that which is equally beautiful is equally ugly’…..

Forced equality is the goal of Marxist achievement.

I disagree with these academic Marxist goals infecting our American arts and social sciences. It is because I am old and have been taught the uplifting and spiritual when Marxism was an anaethema to our American way of life..

Is it possible that the utterings of a well heeled, but cold blooded murderer faced with his own imminent demise can be written with magnificent unsurpassed beauty, beauty of words and message so painful you cannot forget it as long as you live? Could such utterings rise above the Marxist command of forced equality of today’s lessons of mediocrity? Read the following assemblage of words uttered by a fictional Thane of Scotland who had committed a murder from a play written by dead white male, William Shakespeare, in 17th century England:

“Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death.
Out, out, brief candle. Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

It is easy enough English to understand. I find the utterance breath-takingly beautiful describing life scathed by evil thought and deed now as then when I heard it for the first time, read to me by my 9th grade English teacher, 68 years old, 90 pound withered but commanding, Mabel Wicker, at my local urban public high school. There were 35 other kids in that class, mostly of us boys who were disruptive during eighth grade classes in elementary school. This is the same Miss Wicker from whom I earned an F for my first eight week period in her class. I was mesmerized by the Shakespeare she read as part of her daily lectures. I recognized its beauty. I was not disruptive. No one in that class was disruptive. We were not allowed to be.
She used red ink in designing the large F handwritten on my report card to increase the chances for public humiliation.

I enjoyed her readings so much. I had never cared about grades. They never meant anything in elementary school. You were either okay or you weren’t. I never even thought about grades…….until the marking period after the first eight weeks with Miss Mabel Wicker’s flashy red ‘F’ shining for all to see for the rest of the school year.

She expected homework from me. She showed me her grading book. There was nothing listed under my name. It was a perfectly clean slate sans any indication of handed-in homework. She pointed clearly for me that I had earned my keep. What could I say?

Later in the year I did memorize the above lines from William Shakespeare’s Macbeth as part of the 400 lines of poetry required to get a passing grade at the end of the year. I was then and am to this day, inspired so by the beauty of language preaching the power of evil and boredom in a human life without the beauty of words and their meaning of story in thinking-man’s war seeking God over evil.

What is memorable from your 9th grade class?

“You’d Think”, by Julius P. Long

“If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles”

By Julius P. Long…..sent by Arlene Taber:
Food For Thought

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing
without a license, but not for being in the
country illegally …you might live in a country
founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If you have to get your parents ’ permission to go
on a field trip or take an aspirin in school,
but not to get an abortion … you might live in
a country founded by geniuses but run by
idiots.

If the only school curriculum
allowed to explain how we got here is evolution,
but the government stops a $15 million
construction project to keep a rare spider from
evolving to extinction … you might live in a
country founded by geniuses but run by
idiots.

If you have to show identification to board an
airplane, cash a check, buy liquor or check out
a library book, but not to vote who runs the
government … you might live in a country
founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding
citizens from owning gun magazines with more
than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets
to the crazy new leaders in Egypt … you might
live in a country founded by geniuses but run by
idiots.

If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce
sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces
of a sugary drink might make you fat … you
might live in a country founded by geniuses but
run by idiots.

If an 80-year-old woman can be strip-searched by
the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject
to having her neck and head searched … you
might live in a country founded by geniuses but
run by idiots.

If your government believes that the best way to
eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to
spend trillions more …you might
live in a country founded by geniuses but run by
idiots.

If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school
for saying his teacher ’ s “cute,” but hosting a sexual
exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly
acceptable … you might live in a country founded by
geniuses but run by idiots.

If children are forcibly removed from parents who
discipline them with spankings while children of
addicts are left in filth and drug infested
“ homes ” … you might live in a country founded
by geniuses but run by idiots.

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes
and more government intrusion, while not working
is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks,
Medicaid, subsidized housing and free cell phones …
you might live in a country founded by geniuses
but run by idiots.

If the government’s plan for
getting people back to work is to incentivize
NOT working with 99 weeks of unemployment checks
and no requirement to prove they applied but
can ’ t find work … you might live in a country
founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself
makes you more “safe” according to the
government … you might live in a country
founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If you are offended by this article, I’ll bet you
voted for the idiots who are running, and
ruining our great country.

Comment: Mr. Long is assuming the Obama-Hillary gangs are idiots. They are Marxists, Feminists, and Sexists! They know what they are doing to sabotage the great American experiment!

MSNBC Guest, Robert Putnam, Declares Savagery in Black Communities and School Comes from “Income Inequality”

(Note: At this Leftist MSNBC interview, linguistically “poor” kids means “black”….”rich” kids means “white” to highlight a Marxist twist to the story. Most white kids’ families are not rich. The American left, particularly at university, has become the center for preaching black racist politics to foment the arrival of the Marxist State.

Leftist language is carefully controlled. The “Back pack” blacks bear lacks specific description, but refers to fatherlessness, prostitution, drunkenness, pride in gross ignorance and resistance to learning, drugs, rape, pillage and murder, however, no one wants to describe the truth. No one mentions the history of what caused the disappearance of the Negro father from the black home….that it was caused, admittedly not by intention, but to secure votes, by lefty Democrat economic and racial politics of the 1960s destroying the Negro family by passing laws to provide government aid to ‘dependent’ children making marriagelessness a financial bonanza for unmarried mothers. Black males as fathers went the way of the dinosaurs.
“Is our education system actually exacerbating inequality?” is the standard programmed leftist black question leading to or expecting a “yes” answer. Blacks since the American cultural revolution of the 1960s and the collapse of the Negro family, have been since raised “black” programmed at home, school and university, to hate conservatives even beginning with the mere mention of the word, “Republican”.

Marxist equality can be achieved by destroying the family unit of the rich, which is what many leftists attempt to do by redefining marriage. Please read carefully the parsing of words as Mr. Putnam tries delicately to explain certain cultural truths of our America of today.)

MSNBC: INCOMING INEQUALITY A PROBLEM IN SCHOOLS BECAUSE SOME KIDS RECEIVE GOOD PARENTING

“On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s The Cycle, the co-hosts discussed how income inequality affects the education system, particularly primary and secondary education. Their guest, author Robert Putnam, said “rich kids” are bringing “both moral support and encouragement” from home while “poor kids” are bringing in “gang violence, depression and family disruption.”

“When kids come to school, the rich kids are bringing in their backpack support from family, both moral support and encouragements and so on,” Putnam said. “And the poor kids are bringing from their neighborhoods gang violence and depression and family disruption and so on. Not that the kids themselves are responsible for it, but that’s in their backpack.”

“So it affects all the kids,” Putnam told the co-hosts. “If you’re lucky, you go to school with rich kids and if you’re not so lucky, you go to school with poor kids. That means the schools are like an echo chamber, and they’re making the problem worse.”

“Is our education system actually exacerbating inequality?” co-host Krystal Ball asked.

Putnam said it’s “not so much because of what the schools are doing to the kids” but because of what kids have learned at home and are bringing to school.

Putnam noted children who have verbal interaction with their parents such as family dinners are likely to do better than those who don’t, implying this has to do with income inequality.

“What we also know is the amount of verbal interaction between parents and their kids, first of all, differs a lot between upper-class and lower-class families,” Putnam assessed. “Secondly that, difference has been growing a lot. So now kids like my grandchildren, who have well-educated parents, get about 45 minutes a day more verbal interaction with their parents. More, how was your day, and family dinners and so on. And those various alternatives we see as a kind of a scissors grab, we call it, things getting better and better for rich kids and getting worse and worse for poor kids. And that shows up all the way through the rest of their lives.”

KRYSTAL BALL, CO-HOST: Is our education system actually exacerbating inequality?

PUTNAM: Yes, it is. It is not so much because of what the schools are doing to these kids. It’s because schools are a site in which these differences get magnified. And the reason they do is because our society has become more segregated in class terms. Now rich kids live alongside rich kids and poor kids live alongside poor kids.

When kids come to school, the rich kids are bringing in their backpack support from family, both moral support and encouragements and so on. And the poor kids are bringing from their neighborhoods gang violence and depression and family disruption and so on. Not that the kids themselves are responsible for it, but that’s in their backpack. So it affects all the kids. If you’re lucky, you go to school with rich kids and if you’re not so lucky, you go to school with poor kids. That means the schools are like an echo chamber, and they’re making the problem worse.
