Right, this isnt at all the wording i will use, just an outline of my thesis which will go in the intro, let me know what you think:
That there have been so many failures which have been ignored and carried on should make any thinking person suspicious. Can this really be the result of naivety amongst the establishment? Being that most high-ranking politicians and media moguls during this period of decline received their educations either in elite private schools or highly subscribed state schools of the sort which are only available for the rich, I find it difficult to believe that this is the case. To me, it seems far more likely that these changes in education (which many can see are failures) were purposefully crafted by the left-wing establishment with the intention of helping them achieve a wider societal aim; the radical reconstruction of our civilisation.
By eradicating the education system’s capacity of teaching discipline (see chapter *), the establishment has watered down (almost to the point of non-existence) peoples’ sense of duty to institutions which are (or at least were) key to our society; the church and the family unit. This fits well in line with the wishes of those figures who were looked up to by many millions of teenagers, those most susceptible to negative influence, especially during the 1960s and wished to ‘incite people to break the framework, to be disobedient in school, to stick their tongues out, to keep insulting authority.’ (John Lennon).
The lessening of educational standards (see chapters * and *) has ensured that whilst these generations of teens have stuck their tongues out to the old system, they have lacked the skill of free thought to be able to question the new system which, bit by bit, has crept in to dominate our lives. Why would the establishment carry on pedalling policies which have brought about horrendously low literacy and numeracy rates and low levels of social mobility if this wasn’t the case? Children going through the education system seem to live in total ignorance of the world around them; the result of this will be far from bliss.
Having ruined children’s capabilities of understanding how to think, the education system, acting like an echo-chamber has told children what to think (see chapter *). This has helped to produce an army of brainwashed left-wing children who are in line with (and fail to criticise or bring to account) all the principles the establishment now espouse, such as multiculturalism and the lack of importance of life.
This doesn’t stop here. Sexual promiscuity amongst teenagers has sprung as a result of the much-heralded sex education syllabus. This has helped bring an end to the dominance of the family unit; the core of our civilisation for centuries and centuries. It has even failed in its (alleged) aim of lowering sexual acts amongst teenagers. So why else, other than for the reason I have detailed, would the government continue the policy.
All this being said, my theory does not need to be true for it still to be the case that standards of the higher education system have slipped to horrendous depths and that many changes are needed urgently, if it isn’t already too late.
