3 Letters about school EVERYONE should read
I won’t say much in this article. I can’t. Because imagining something and then finding the prove that it is even worse than even I expected… Read for yourself
Edit: I don’t know why it shows the first two links like it does and decided to give a preview with the last one… Sorry for the optics. Don’t know why it doesn’t show a preview for the first two links as well.
This first letter is from a parent, who decided to take his daughter out of a private school, out of Brearley, a $ 56,000 a year private all-girls school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. In his letter, which he send to 600 parents whose daughters attend this school as well, he explained his reasoning.
In this second letter I present to you you will find the statement of a teacher describing the levels of indoctrination and how deeply saturated with ideology schools really are. How deep the fear of even sharing a different opinion has been cultivated in the educational system.

The third and last letter I give you to read is from former Assistant Professor of Philosophy Peter Boghossian. He taught over a decade and decided to share his letter of resignation at Portland State University. In this letter he goes into detail why he decided to quit.
I’m still stunned by what I read. The second letter had me close to tears. How much proof do we need that the educational system is deeply broken and has been corrupted down to its foundations by a cult-like ideology seeking to divide society, starting where it hurts the most and is probably the easiest: with our kids and students, the adults of tomorrow!
If you liked my article I’d be honoured if you considered following me for more articles about philosophy, self-improvement, sometimes politics and simply about stuff I feel like writing about. If you are not already a Medium member I’d appreciate it if you’d consider joining Medium via this referral link.
Anyways, thanks for making it this far, have a beautiful day, where ever you are.
