What must a young person learn in school to prepare for success in the supposed future of the U.S.?

1. Ideally, you need to be male, white, able-bodied, and within age limits in most cases to anticipate success, meaning wealth, in life. (Old people who aren’t rich or famous are not significant regardless of culture.) If you’re female, you’ll need to be attractive, charming, and willing to submit to stronger wills. If you, as a female or lesser male are not attractive or amenable to control, anticipate yourself and your ideas being treated as invisible or absorbed as the work of someone else. If you are not specifically male or female, pretend. Your natural life places you at risk.

The greatest mistake you can make is to be openly opinionated in opposition to the most influential males or females. Larger controversies will require a larger cohort of people who mob together to maintain power and eliminate criticism. That cohort may contain both males and females who agree to agree, trusting they’re superior human beings so integrity doesn’t matter.

2. Forget old-style manners. Children must learn early that pushing weaker students around is necessary to maintain cultural balance. Force is its own logic. The ability to instill fear is your friend. No crying or consulting authorities for justice. Claim the authorities are biased. Demonstrate that you’re able to get what you want, regardless of rules. Be physical if you must. (You may need to appoint champions.)
3. If you’re caught breaking a rule, invent a lie to cover your tracks. If that doesn’t work, blame someone else or misrepresent the situation to your advantage. Choosing the least popular student or someone from an unpopular minority as the perpetrator would be prudent. The lie doesn’t have to be based on anything real. It just has to sound real by the way you say and repeat it. Repeat it often. Have your friends repeat it, also. If you have access to the media, that will be an immense help in addressing public opinion. Add in details that may or may not have anything to do with the issue.
4. If the trouble you’re in is serious, you’ll need to have champions who are powerful due to their wealth and/or status to insist you were wrongly accused and threaten lawsuit. (Let them demonstrate how you can do it in the future.) The more citizens accept the advice in this list, the less power you’ll need to get your way. Good propaganda from the media will smooth the road. If the culture has changed as you wished it would, most people won’t know how to critique information, and they’ll already suspect disagreement and evidence of intelligence as dangerously anti-Christian.
5. Mock anything you don’t understand, especially science, art, history, literature, and all forms of honest assessment. Any teacher who insists questions of morality or personal responsibility are important must be ferreted out of the system. Be careful if you choose to mock religions so you never mock religions to which popular students say they belong in such a way that the followers understand that you are, indeed, making fun of them. The safest route is to be among the mobs of faithful, pretending if necessary. The more effective you are at making your friends laugh at supposedly serious subjects, the more your popularity will blossom.
6. Never let authorities triumph over you–such as teachers who only believe they have power. Have your parents go over their heads to get them fired if they don’t realize they aren’t really in charge. If you can mock people your friends don’t like, you elevate your own status. Nasty humor is always a valuable tool to demoralize your opponents, so use cyber space wisely. Never allow mistreatment—even death–of your opponents to bother you. They asked for it.

If this “educational system” sounds appealing to you, you’re lucky because a number of people currently seem to believe these steps are necessary or inevitable. All those teachers and parents who don’t agree must be isolated as dangerous radicals. What we call “group think” based on fear insures an obedient population. As Shakespeare noted, thinking too much is dangerous. However, when enough courageous voices of kindness and truth finally stir the dormant conscience of the majority, the tide will change, washing ugly debris into history.
