Gary Varvel is a former Indianapolis Star editorial cartoonist, one of the many casualties of the Gannett takeover of the print media. (Disclaimer: I know Gary.) He’s also the creator of a lot of the memes that appear in The Gulch.

I suspect one of his most recent cartoons will appear here soon. One Founding Father says “Should we ban Communism and Sharia Law?” The other responds “Surely our descendants won’t be dumb enough to vote for that.”

For years, the public school system has been used more & more for indoctrination and less & less for education. Each year, more of these indoctrinated kids graduate. And over the past few elections (both the past few Novembers and especially some recent primaries), something has dawned on me.

I think that we are beginning to see those seeds germinate. I think this is exactly what the left envisioned a long time ago when they began their takeover of the public school system. Throw enough shit at the wall, and some of it is bound to stick; run enough kids through this perverted system, and enough of them will be convinced of its “truth” that they can begin to influence society.

And I think that’s where we are today.

I honestly don’t know how we (as a society) reverse it. I don’t know how we repair the public education system, or if can even be repaired. I don’t know how we limit the damage that is starting to occur.

But if we don’t figure it out soon, we’re screwed. I know, I know…thanks, Mr. Obvious.
