The Marxification of Education Workshop

New Discourses (22 November 2022)
Something has gone very badly wrong in education. Our schools are filled with divisive identity politics rooted in Marxist Critical Theory, but it seems almost impossible to nail down and fight against. Children are being sexualized and sexuality-ized at younger and younger ages, and it’s disrupting their lives and well-being. Children aren’t learning to read, write, do mathematics, or achieve academically in any subject, but they’re learning to become aggrieved activists, filled with stress, anxiety, depression, and fear about their future. America and American values are under assault, and families are feeling the strain thanks to the schools they trust to educate their kids. At the same time, all of these new programs, which seem to have arrived on the scene in just the last few years, hide behind confusing jargon, buzzwords, and acronyms, like “CRT” (Critical Race Theory and Culturally Relevant Teaching), “CSE” (Comprehensive Sexuality Education), and “SEL” (Social-Emotional Learning). It’s hard to comprehend and hard to unpack. Worst of all, it all seems to be coming out of huge institutional trends that resist any accountability. Meanwhile, children suffer and parents grow increasingly concerned and frustrated.
What has happened is that education has been Marxified, which is to say it has been turned into a Marxist program running on Marxist logic to achieve Marxist ends by brainwashing and programming our children to become Marxist activists. This transformation of education was deliberate, strategic, and rooted in both Theory and activism all along. It is for these reasons that we invite you to join James Lindsay for this in-depth, educational workshop: The Marxification of Education. This special event took place on July 29-30, 2022, in Arlington, Virginia, right in the neighborhood of Loudoun and Fairfax Counties, a symbolic Ground Zero for this catastrophe in education.
As a result of the research that produced this lecture series, Lindsay has written a detailed and accessible book on the issue titled The Marxification of Education, which is available for preorder now.
