Why is it that so many people in their twenties have v little understanding of English grammar or basic sentence construction? Aaaaaaagh.
And then he blogged it. And I replied along these lines:
It's no mystery. The Gramscian long march, which has now completely subverted the most important institution of them all, the education establishment.
Read Toby Young's piece about the Institute of Education in this week's Spectator (not online yet) in which he cites (hilariously) the IOE's stance on transpeople as especially, um, illuminating about its corporate attitude. I find this University of London teacher training college's take on World Englishes, too, not completely irrelevant to Iain Dale's complaint.
The critical question is: who is teaching the teachers, and what are they teaching them? This question may never be spoken aloud, of course, because the (Left, especially Labour and the) education establishment howls it down with cosmically hypocritical shrieks of 'Shocking! Politicising the education of our children! Appalling!'
An educated population which can think for itself and earn its own living spells disaster for the Marxoid Left which requires and is successfully engineering the massive, politically- and literally illiterate, state-dependent, compliant lumpen-proletariat it needs, to entrench itself in power.
The present government is seen as but a stage in history's inevitable march towards the Left's utopia. The Marxoid denizens of the educational establishment will not be dislodged without a bloody fight: they intend to see this government off. They await the restoration of Labour to government so that they can further their project with only the minimum of (electorally unavoidable) interference.
Michael Gove's revolutionary Free Schools policy is correctly perceived as a frontal attack on the education establishment. It is the only possible way, now, in which we can replace indoctrination with education, by giving parents the wherewithal simply to bypass the educational establishment. Naturally, 'educationists' will fight it with every weapon at their disposal. Their worst nightmare is for children to be educated and growing up to be free, thinking, independent subjects, as opposed to objects.
One of Dale's commenters remarks that every generation bewails the deterioration of education since 'their day'. Perhaps, but in our generation, that deterioration is more than an accident, being contemporaneous with both the ascendancy of Gramsci's children and state provision of universal schooling.
As a strategist, Gramsci was no slouch. He knew how to engineer a quiet revolution.
We desperately need a counter-revolution. Go to it, Mr Gove.
