Freedom in the Workplace
If you have ever worked in a public health or educational field you would have seen proof that the insidious creep of socialism has touched just about every aspect of your job.
The philosophy of social justice and ‘change’ and the need to control everyone and everything in order to mandate that change, has taken command of just about every profession.
Though it failed in the 1990s, an engineer may have been forced to learn the job of the person who did assembly on the bench, or he may have been subject to wearing a tshirt that was a uniform that defied his identification as someone in a higher post — and vice versa. All this was done in the name of productivity through equality… all taught at ‘leadership’ workshops. But most people know that a machinist cannot do an engineer’s job, and it is quite possible that an engineer, unless he was from the old school, would not be able to do the machinist’s job.
In schools, the fanatical religion of the left has taken hold in the form mandated curriculum from the federal government that seems to serve only the UN and the impending ‘global’ government. Any teacher who does not “believe”, is at risk. Academic freedom is no longer.
And now we are hearing from another profession. According to therapist Kevin Kervick:
“Political correctness, third-party interference, medical model hegemony, onerous regulation, burdensome paperwork, empirical validation fundamentalism, excessive productivity standards, and other dehumanizing practices are interfering with our natural therapeutic capacities and have left our profession at a crossroads. More of the same may be right around the corner as plans for even more government and third party intrusion are being proposed by well-intentioned but ill-informed policy-makers who believe more oversight is needed. Client drop-out and therapist burnout rates are already at epidemic levels and stand to worsen as third-party interference increases and working conditions deteriorate for talk therapy professionals.”
Sounds eerily familiar to what teachers go through today.
Kervick, who sees the Tea Party as an “expression as a powerful grass roots community restoration movement that is attempting to reverse the effects of well-intentioned but harmful intrusion of government and its proxy institutions into the lives of American citizens”, is holding a forum on Friday June 11, 2010.
