SLUT-WALK PLACES FEMALES IN JEOPARDY

SLUT-WALK PLACES FEMALES IN JEOPARDY

By Domenick J. Maglio Phd. Traditional Realist

Rape is a violent, horrible crime and should be punished by the fullest extent of the law. It happens to both males and females. It is a devastating violation of a person’s human dignity and freedom. The victim often feels partially responsible for not preventing the rape from occurring. The incident is replayed in the victim’s mind usually focusing on behaviors that could have attracted or repelled the perpetrator. Regardless of the appropriateness of the victim’s actions, shame enters the picture. Shame is the major reason that rape goes under reported for both sexes, especially males.

Rape’s social stigma is strong across cultures. Law punishes the predator, but the victim suffers self-imposed as well as social humiliation. Advocates of women are attempting to lessen the pain of the stigma of being raped by dismissing any and all behaviors that may be aggravating factors. This is a serious mistake that is sending a dangerous message to young people.

This summer supporters of the liberation of women sponsored “Slut-Walks” that took place across the USA and Canada. These protests were aimed at attempting to debunk the notion that a victim’s dress and behavior should be considered an invitation to be assaulted. The leaders of the movement want our society to stop connecting provocative dress and behavior as elements in provoking a rape. According to them victims should never be blamed for any provocative behavior because it is all about the physical aggressor: men. Some women even go so far as repeating the slogan: all men are rapists.

This movement believes when men learn to control their animal instincts women would be freed to fully display their sexuality without fear of repercussion. In this idealistic world, real men would learn to transcend their animal nature and women would be sexually liberated to do what they desire. By mentally castrating men to deny their sexual nature, females gain total sexual freedom. They envision men acting as modern eunuchs to satisfy their female free expression. In essence they want their freedom without any responsibility. Liberated women cannot have it both ways.

This would be a laughable, juvenile notion if it were not so dangerous to females. In the real world all behavior has consequences. It should not be, but leaving your car door unlocked is an invitation to thieves. Walking through a high crime area appearing fearful and weak attracts muggers like a shark to blood. Going alone to a bar late at night and leaving with a total stranger is not a highly self-preserving act. Every risky behavior increases the level of excitement as well as the potential of harm.

Reality forces all of us to limit our personal freedom to increase our security. No woman deserves to be raped although certain behaviors increase the probability. The indoctrinating of females to believe their flamboyant behavior and dress does not increase the probability of becoming a target of physical assault is stupid to the point of being criminal. Stupid thinking leads to delusional behavior. Whenever anyone increases the risk for a particular outcome, the person should acknowledge it.

Liberated females want human nature to be different but it is what it is. All of us need to behave in ways to help us survive. Ignoring the possibility of a common reaction of males being turned on to flirtatious behavior is naïve and irrational. Drugging and drinking increases uninhibited actions that increases the risk of doing things one would regret when sober. When around others in an altered state of consciousness a person should be alerted that there is no more predictability to anyone’s actions.

Girls need to learn that seductive behavior could be bad for their safety especially in certain situations. Playing sexually teasing games might have no ramifications with friends but may be a different story with strangers from a different subculture. Young females must learn there are real dangers to being sexually indiscreet.

All men are not rapists but many men can be aggressive. It is better to be cautious than to be stupid. Liberated women cannot expect the world to be different just because they snap their fingers. They must mature into rational adults and stop being perennial teenagers.

There is nothing wrong and everything right for a woman to act like a lady rather than a slut. Besides it is better to be aware of one’s actions in public than to make a display of oneself that is regretted the next day. All mature adults of either gender should be personally accountable for their actions.

Know It All Epidemic is Bringing Down SAT Scores

KNOW IT ALL EPIDEMIC IS BRINGING DOWN SAT SCORES

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

Grandparents and most parents are amazed at how smart the younger generation is compared to them. These people say when they were that age they did not know how to use all the electronic gizmos and computers like today’s children. The older generation fails to realize there were minimal to no computerized items. Probably they would be as adept at them as are modern children if they had had the electronics.

Today’s children live in a world where their parents, teachers and other adults have been indoctrinated by child rearing experts and psychologists to rave about any actions of a child that do not maim others or destroy things. Praise is supposed to be the ultimate elixir for the child’s overall development and wellbeing in our politically correct culture.

According to experts, positive reinforcement will insure a happy, healthy and successful person. As long as a child has high self-esteem, it is said she will automatically blossom into an invincible, brilliant human specimen.

The high self esteem movement has worked although not in the way these professionals thought it would. Instead of being beneficial across the board, it has produced an epidemic of KIAD, the Know It All Disease.

This disease is preventing the brains of our children from absorbing new information starting in elementary school. People of any age who believe they know everything have a hard time focusing on information that may challenge them. Whenever their skill and knowledge areas are pointed out to be weak or outright wrong, they arrogantly get huffy and shut down. Since our culture has practically banned honesty in evaluating youngsters in school and sports it is understandable why minors would be shocked by low test scores.

The 2011 SAT, shows reading and writing test scores for college bound seniors were the lowest ever recorded even though many experts complained the test questions were made easier when the test was changed to a three section format in 2005. Only 43% of student scores were high enough to succeed in college. Combine this with almost as many students failing than passing the Advanced Placement tests and the National Assessment of Education Progress results, which demonstrate American students are doing poorly as compared to other nations. There is a significant failure in our government schools.

Predictably education experts who have a vested interest in public education attempt to excuse the SAT results. They talk about the expanded pool of test takers from Black and Hispanic minorities as the reason for these low scores. They ignore the fact that this is not the first time we had to assimilate other ethnic groups. This test has existed since 1933, for eight decades.

These experts fail to note a blatant shortcoming to the U.S. education approach: worthless evaluations or none at all. Children receive unearned high grades for little effort and minimal academic achievement. These inflated grades seem to be placating parents and students. Awards are meaningless when everyone is given one. We are living in a society where every participant has to receive a trophy for attending a certain number of games and are placed on the honor role for doing no more than warming a seat in school.

KIAD has produced a large number of delusional students. They do not have an ounce of humility and possess tons of arrogance. Many educators want the SAT and other standardized tests to disappear. They do not want to be held accountable. Instead of observing what is happening in our schools, they want to dismantle these tests by using “culture bias” as an excuse. This means that any standard chosen to measure learning that predicts success in higher education has to be prejudicial against minorities. This is a ridiculous analysis of standardized testing since it accurately predicts success in higher education. All students need to acquire the same skill set to have the building blocks to understand and learn complex concepts.

Attacking tests or the need for evaluation is a strategy for spreading a real pandemic of students who think they are too smart to learn. This attempt at denying the validity of all testing has to end.

American education needs to stop making silly rationalizations and begin to inoculate students against the Know It All Disease: KIAD. This would be accomplished by giving an honest evaluation of knowledge and behavior to the student and the parents. Students need to be openly compared through posting their grades and being honestly critiqued by their teachers and peers. This allows them to gain a true perspective of their standing in class.

Accurate feedback will undermine false self-esteem while increasing a student’s confidence through self-competence.

Integrity of evaluating students in their actions and behavior will be the silver bullet to obliterate this cancerous KAID. The prevention of this disease will bring more openness, humility and more improved learning behavior in our schools.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE IS ANTI U.S. CONSTITUTION

The Valley Education Corporation in Yellow Springs, Colorado, is making a big splash in educational circles. This multi million-dollar enterprise is starting K-12 charter schools throughout the USA. The cost for this program is expensive although the company is receiving high marks for the staff’s credentials and international awareness.

The program focuses on global educational standards and curriculum in order to develop global citizens. They emphasize the United Nations worldview, which has primary importance over any state educational standards. By making state standards subservient to the U.N. ideology, students will realize they are not citizens of a single country, like the United States, but citizens of a coming one-world government. This international awareness will prepare them to be “comrades” to create a peaceful, equitable redistribution of wealth and save the earth resources from capitalist exploitation.

There is a strong commitment to all human rights, which take precedence over any nation’s laws. Educational values are inculcated by integrating them into the subject areas. Students learn about the antiquated notions of the U.S. Constitution, judicial system and unnecessary borders of the USA. All national treaties and laws including those deemed constitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States would and should be subservient to those policies to those passed by the United Nations.

“Valley Ed. Corp.” is fictitious but the curriculum discussed above is not. This curriculum has been marketed in public schools as the “be all and end all” of high school diplomas: the International Baccalaureate Program. It has provoked controversy in many of the school districts that have adopted the program. Through taxpayer dollars our federal government is sanctioning the IB program although it is a direct attack on our Constitution and our laws.

Article 6, clause 2 in the Constitution of the United States unequivocally states the Constitution is the lynchpin of all of our laws of the land. “This Constitution and laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the Unites States, shall be the supreme law of the land, and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.”

European diplomats started the International Baccalaureate Organization, IBO, in 1968. These diplomats wanted a uniform education for their children in whatever nation they were assigned. However, in 1996 IBO unfortunately united with UNESCO, part of the United Nations. They formed an international education program that is dominated by a One-World-Government view. The U.N.’s radical leftist perspective of the world and its reputation for mismanaging its funding is a dubious organization to place above the leader of the free world.

Yet, the International Baccalaureate, IB Program, is being adopted by school districts throughout the USA. This course of study exists in 139 countries worldwide. The goal of the International Baccalaureate Organization is to impose global education standards and curriculum. This course of study is to produce global citizens, not citizens of America who are loyal to the principles of our founding documents: the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

All students in the program are indoctrinated with the virtues of the United Nation’s treaties even though the United States of America has not ratified them. By endorsing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the IB program has agreed to promote the U.N.’s actions and treaties.

Such treaties include: the UN International Court Treaty, which would nullify the Supreme Court of the United States; the Bio Diversity program to redistribute financial aid from developed countries to underdeveloped countries while supposedly preserving genetic resources; the Rights of Children Treaty which strips many prerogatives from parents in raising their children; the Kyoto Treaty, whose focus is to reduce global warming by lowering carbon dioxide emissions in developed countries, and any other treaty approved by the UN. In reality, these treaties will end the sovereignty of America.

Our children in an IB program are being taught to see the world through the lens of the United Nations with a Marxist tint. The IB program is instilling moral values and ideals that are undermining our student’s positive attitudes and beliefs towards the United States.

The IB program is contrary to the interests of the United States. It is indoctrination under the guise of education. All American citizens should be alerted to the purpose of this program so our government officials can be held accountable. The IB program could continue in private schools as a program for children of diplomats or other families who agree with the utopian failures of the United Nations.

Our government has a vested interest in promoting programs where students are being taught the goodness, uniqueness and advantages of being an American citizen. Instead of being proud of our special heritage these students are being propagandized to despise their own country.

Under no circumstances should the IB program receive a single tax dollar.
