Indoctrination by Kyle Olson Reviewed by Dick Morris
It has become a truism for conservatives that the media and the
entertainment industry are biased in favor of the left. We pick and
choose the films we watch - or let our kids watch - and tune to Fox News
to get what is really going on.
Now comes Kyle Olson's new book,
Indoctrination: How 'Useful Idiots' Are Using Our Schools to Subvert
American Exceptionalism, which exposes the third leg of the
stool that keeps the left propped up in our politics: The systematic
indoctrination of our children in the public and private schools of
America.
Olson, a long time education reformer, presents chilling evidence of the
left's attempt to ban Christianity and Judaism from the consciousness of
our kids. He takes us through the chronically inaccurate rewrite of
American history taught in our schools. We are the aggressor. America is
not an exceptional nation, unless it be exceptionally guilty of crimes
against humanity! In the world of our schools, American democracy is a
fraud and our free enterprise system is a monopolistic conspiracy to
hold down the poor.
Karl Marx could not have designed a curriculum any better!

Olson traces the migration of the extreme left from economic Marxism to
"cultural Marxism," replacing the theory of class warfare with a
cultural war which pits revisionism against our best values and
traditions. Freed from the moorings of our shared history and outlook as
a nation, this cultural Marxism replaces the values of the melting pot
with those of a stubbornly maintained cultural and linguistic diversity.
It mocks the motto E Pluribus Unum (out of many, one) and emphasizes
division, conflict, and competing interests.
We have become accustomed to hearing American history and politics
misinterpreted by leftist university professors. In 2004, the president
of Williams College was asked how his faculty voted in the recent
election. "One hundred forty-one to nothing for John Kerry" was his
proud answer. Campuses that bend and strain to maintain economic,
gender, geographic, racial, ethnic and even sexual orientation diversity
do nothing to provide balance in their teaching of history and politics.
But in Olson's book, we see the insidious indoctrination at the
elementary and secondary school levels. At least university students can
think for themselves and are soon to enter the real world where they can
figure things out. But Olson explains how 7- and 8-year-olds are taught
to embrace an atheistic, leftist philosophy virtually from the moment
they enter school.
Worse, he emphasizes how we are paying for this indoctrination with our
tax dollars and how we are being denied the option of finding a school
that suits our values by the public school monopoly.
For defenders of freedom, Kyle Olson's book is a vital necessity to read
and absorb. It sets a challenge before us all: To change public
education so that it is truly American in its values.
