National-Anarchy in Secondary Schools
As a secondary level student and a
National-Anarchist, I get to see first hand the failure of the
Western education system. The average student knows very little about
the real world, their only education on real world events comes from
the liberal media and politically correct teachers. It is only too
astounding to hear a student only a couple of years before they
finish school and enter the workforce, asking the difference between
the Australian parliamentary system and the American republic. The
average student knows very little, if anything, about the past and
what they do know is limited to the mediocre (at best) State
curriculum.
I have always worked hard as a student to not only
be able to read, write and understand mathematics but also to learn
and understand the way our world works. The learning throughout my
life that has led me to National-Anarchism has mostly been through my
personal reading of history and politics; very little have I gained
from education in school. The most I can gather from state schooling
is that teachers are, on the most part, as uneducated about real
world affairs as the average joe. A teacher may know the ins and outs
of writing an essay, or understand advanced calculus but only on the
odd occasion will you meet a teacher with strong political
opinions.
I can give a single example of a well learned
teacher throughout my years in high school. I had a History and
European Studies teacher for whom I had a lot of respect for as his
idea of teaching history was to not only explain what happened but
why it happened. We discussed many topics and on one major topic
(namely Dictatorships) we came to a similar conclusion; no man is
born evil and no ideology is inherently evil and we can learn from
the good and bad of every system, whether that be Hitlerism or
Stalinism or anything else. To a political mind this may seem like
quite a simple discussion but to the students listening to the
debate, this was a revelation of ideas, never before had they heard
an intelligent discussion of ideas between a student and a teacher,
let alone one that confronted their previous Politically Correct
programming that "Hitler was bad, the Nazi's were bad, thus
every intricate detail of Nazism was pure evil."
I feel
that if students were introduced to philosophical and opinionated
literature at a younger level in their education, we may see more
intelligent and moral generations of students heading in to tertiary
education or the workforce. I'd like to bring back the idea of the
Athenian forums, where students not only learned to read and write
but also listened to the Elders debate and discuss ideas. The
students not only learned how to carry themselves in a civil debate
but also formulated their own opinions of the world. Rather than
following a State run curriculum, where students are limited to the
education the State wishes to give them, students need wider options
in their learning; this will lead to a more intelligent and moral
society.
As a National-Anarchist activist I try and spread our ideas as far and wide and the main place I do this is at school. Some teachers hate it, some love it but I give them no choice when I question what they are teaching. I also preach National-Anarchy in the most basics of school life; I find the idea of detention as a punishment to be abominable. A student makes a conscious decision to begin a course at a school, they must complete the necessary objectives to pass, if they decide to not attend classes or not submit work, they will fail. Issuing a detention for truancy does not teach a student responsibility, it solely teaches resentment of the education system. Failing the course on the other hand teaches real life consequences for being lazy and disruptive.
National-Anarchy can be practised and shared in any environment and the education system is a major institution that needs to be totally revamped and the best method to do this is through National-Anarchy.
