ROOTS OF THE AMERICAN CULTURE AND COMMUNITY IN DISARRAY
Political leaders, religious
leaders, conservatives, families (especially fathers), judges, and interested
lawyers, along with the vast majority of Americans who believe in ideals of
family and country must understand that open WAR HAS BEEN DECLARED ON THEM AND
THIS COUNTRY. And it’s coming from many of the institutions that our taxes are
funding and supporting! In terms of financial and human costs this war on
America has been the most destructive war in America’s history.
When Nikita Kruschev banged his shoe on the
table and declared, ‘We shall destroy you from within’ during the infamous
"Kitchen Debate" - he knew what he was talking about.
[Comparing the culture of the 50’s to that of
1998] violent criminal offenses have exploded upward by 700%. Premarital sex
among 18 year olds has jumped from 30% of the population to 70%. Tax rates for a
family of four have skyrocketed 500%, consuming a fourth of their income.
Divorce rates have quadrupled. Illegitimate births among black Americans has
soared - from approximately 23% to more than 68%. Illegitimacy itself has jumped
from a nationwide total of 5% to nearly 30% nationwide - a rise of 600%. Cases
of sexually transmitted diseases have risen 150%. Teen age pregnancies are up by
several thousand percent and teen suicides have risen by 200%. Between 1950 and
1979 - serious crime committed by children under 15 has risen by 11,000%...
Most Americans would agree that our society has
changed for the worst over the last 30 years.”
[i]
While there has been
progress in moving people off of the welfare rolls and into work, welfare still
exists and many commentators note it exists to promote the breakdown of the
family. A myriad of today’s social ills can be traced to the breakdown of the
family and the undermining of marriage. Some of the testimony about the
devastation of American families as a result of today’s culture war can be seen

Along
with this testimony, I have written legal briefs for the Federal District Court
on the unconstitutionality of Ohio’s custody laws, a legal brief opposing
psychology in the courtroom, and am developing an extensive historical review of
the rise of our current “family” law system. During several years of research,
a disturbing common thread continues to appear, tracing it back to its origins,
it led to one Antonio Gramsci.
THE PERSONAL IS THE POLITICAL
In 1926, an Italian
communist named Antonio Gramsci ended up in Mussolini’s prison after a return
from Russia. While there, he wrote his “prison notebooks” and they laid out a
plan for destroying Western faith and culture. His plans included ways to
undermine and discourage Westerners through the intentional collapse of the
existing social structure from within.
Gramsci advocated not
only Marxist class warfare, which was economically focused, but also social and
cultural warfare at the same time. His theories and the “slow march through the
culture” (or institutions) which he envisioned to destroy the West are enshrined
in current American social policy. His theories surrounding “hegemony” and a
“counter-hegemony” were designed to destroy Western social structure and
overthrow the “West” from within.
Hegemony, as defined by
Gramsci is that widely accepted system of values, morals, ethics, and social
structure which holds a society together and creates a cohesive people. Western
social structures holding society together (i.e. “the hegemony”) include:
authority, morality, sexual restraint, monogamous marriage, personal
responsibility, patriotism, national unity, community, tradition, heredity,
education, conservatism, language, Christianity, law, and truth. His theory
called for media and communications to slowly co-opt the people with the
“counter-hegemony” propaganda message.
"... Hegemony operates culturally and ideologically through the institutions of
civil society which characterises mature liberal-democratic, capitalist
societies. These institutions include education, the family, the church, the
mass media, popular culture, etc."
[ii]
Through a systematic attack
of these institutions he termed the “slow march through the culture,” Gramsci
theorized that once these institutions were sufficiently damaged the people
would insist on an end to the madness allowing totalitarian control of the
Western world. A similar form of these theories was tried before America by the
National Socialists (Nazis) headed by Hitler.
Many of the Gramscian
Marxist Communist ideals have been implemented in government, education, and
law. In practice, women have become the vehicle deceived and used in this quest
to tear down and destroy Western culture. This has been done by enlisting their
help in ripping apart marriage and the traditional family.
Since economic Marxism was a failure, Gramsci
reasoned that the only way to topple… Western institutions was by, what he
called, a “long march through the culture.” He repackaged Marxism in terms of
a… “cultural war”…
“Gramsci hated marriage and the family, the very
founding blocks of a civilized society. To him, marriage was a plot, a
conspiracy... to perpetuate an evil system that oppressed women and children.
It was a dangerous institution, characterized by violence and exploitation, the
forerunner of fascism and tyranny. Patriarchy served as the main target of the
cultural Marxists. They strove to feminize the family with legions of single
and homosexual mothers and ‘fathers’ who would serve to weaken the structure of
civilized society.”
…[A]nother cultural Marxist (George Lukacs)
brought the Gramscian strategy to the schools… As deputy commissioner in
Hungary… his first task was to put radical sex education in the schools… it was
the best way to destroy traditional sexual morality, and weaken the family.
Hungarian children learned… free love, sexual intercourse, and the archaic
nature of middle-class family codes, the obsolete nature of monogamy, and the
irrelevance of organized religion which deprived man of pleasure. Children were
urged to deride and ignore… parental authority, and precepts of traditional
morality. If this sounds familiar, it is because this is what is happening in
our public… schools.
…Under the rubric of ‘diversity,’ its hidden
goal is to impose a uniformity of thought and behavior on all Americans. The
cultural Marxists, often teachers, university professors and administrators, TV
producers, newspaper editor and the like, serve as gatekeepers by keeping all
traditional and positive ideas, especially religious ideas, out of the public
marketplace.
Herbert Marcuse was largely responsible for
bringing cultural Marxism to the United States… He believed that all taboos,
especially sexual ones, should be relaxed. “Make love, not war!” was his battle
cry that echoed through ivy-covered college campuses all over America. His
methodology for rebellion included the deconstruction of the language, the
infamous “what does ‘is’ mean?” which fostered the destruction of the culture.
By confusing and obliterating word meanings, he helped cause a breakdown in the
social conformity of the nation, especially among the… young of America...
Marcuse said that women should be the cultural
proletariat who transformed Western society. They would serve as the catalyst
for the new Marxist Revolution. If women could be persuaded to leave their
traditional roles as the transmitters of culture, then the traditional culture
could not be transmitted to the next generation.
What better way to influence the generations
than by subverting the traditional roles of women? The Marxists rightfully
reasoned that the undermining of women could deal a deadly blow to the culture.
If women were the target, then the Cultural Marxists scored a bullseye… Women
have traded the domestic tranquility of family and the home for the power surge
of the boardroom and the sweaty release of casual sex. Divorce court
statistics, wife and child abandonment, abortion and even spousal murder can be
laid at [the feminists] doorstep to a large degree.
[iii]
Careful study and review
shows that Gramscian Marxist Communism encompasses today’s “feminist” movement. [iv]
Feminism’s goals are to use women to undermine and destroy the culture by
abandoning marriage and by not carrying on the critical task of “transmitting
the culture” to the next generation. Today’s feminists use women to advance the
destruction of women, children, and families while convincing them they are
somehow a “victim” of the patriarchal structure. And the patriarchal structure
is nothing but Orwellian NewSpeak for the social structures and institutions
that have kept Western civilization together long before the social decay we see
today.
America’s socialists and
communists make no pretenses about their goals to promote the destruction of a
cohesive society by advancing a welfare state and the complete breakdown of the
family. Socialists have openly adopted the “counter hegemony” taught by Gramsci
which is designed to destroy Western culture. “[T]he stronger the
‘counter-hegemonic’ strength of unions and left parties, the stronger the
welfare state… When we argue for ‘decommodifying’ (i.e., taking out of private
market provision) such basic human needs as healthcare, childcare, education,
and housing, we have in mind a decentralized and more fully accountable welfare
state then [sic] exists in Western democracies.”
[v]
This statement comes from one of the MANY American college professors
indoctrinating students today. As noted by William Gregg in the New American:
Writing in the Winter 1996 issue of the Marxist
journal Dissent, Michael Walzer enumerated some of the cultural victories
won by the left since the 1960s:
- "The visible impact of feminism."
- "The effects of affirmative action."
- "The emergence of gay rights politics, and … the
attention paid to it in the media."
- "The acceptance of cultural pluralism."
- "The transformation of family life," including "rising
divorce rates, changing sexual mores, new household arrangements — and,
again, the portrayal of all this in the media."
- "The progress of secularization; the fading of religion
in general and Christianity in particular from the public sphere —
classrooms, textbooks, legal codes, holidays, and so on."
- "The virtual abolition of capital punishment."
- "The legalization of abortion."
- "The first successes in the effort to regulate and limit
the private ownership of guns."
Significantly, Walzer admitted… these victories
were imposed upon our society by "liberal elites," rather than… "by the pressure
of a mass movement or a majoritarian party." These changes "reflect the leftism
or liberalism of lawyers, judges, federal bureaucrats, professors, school
teachers, social workers, journalists, television and screen writers — not the
population at large," noted Walzer… [T]he left focused on "winning the
Gramscian war of position."
Cultural commentator Richard Grenier [notes
Gramsci formulated] “the doctrine that those who want to change society must
change man’s consciousness, and that in order to accomplish this they must first
control the institutions by which that consciousness is formed: schools,
universities, churches, and, perhaps above all, art and the communications
industry. It is these institutions that shape and articulate ‘public opinion,’
the limits of which few politicians can violate with impunity. Culture, Gramsci
felt, is not simply the superstructure of an economic base — the role assigned
to it in orthodox Marxism — but is central to a society. His famous battle cry
is: capture the culture."
Gramsci recognized that the chief [obstacles] impeding… the triumph of Marxism
were… those institutions, customs, and habits identified by Washington and the
other Founding Fathers as indispensable to ordered liberty — such as the family,
private initiative, self-restraint, and principled individualism. But Gramsci
focused particularly on what Washington described as the "indispensable
supports" of free society — religion and morality. In order to bring about a
revolution, Gramsci wrote, "The conception of law will have to be freed from
every remnant of transcendence and absoluteness, practically from all moralist
fanaticism."
[vi]
Gramsci’s Marxist
communist philosophy, with its goal and aim to completely destroy “Western”
civilization is best summed up in the feminist phrase “THE PERSONAL IS THE
POLITICAL!”
FAMILY LAW, CHILD SUPPORT, AND WELFARE FROM MARXISM?
Many people would be shocked
to learn that much of the current “family law” system we have today, which is at
the heart of so much of our modern social upheaval and America’s “welfare
state,” was born in the Soviet Union. Still more shocking would be the
revelation that when the Soviet Union discovered its system was a disastrous
failure, it instituted serious reforms in the early 1940’s to try to restore the
family and the country. The Soviets made these changes when fatherlessness
(which included children from divorced fathers) reached around 7 million
children and their social welfare structure (day cares, kindergartens, state
children’s facilities, etc.) was overburdened. Yet in America, some studies
suggest that we are approaching 11 or 12 million such children. All the while,
the social and financial costs of welfare and fatherlessness are just now
gaining more widespread attention. America’s fatherlessness crisis is primarily
by judicial making with the cooperation of the legions of lawyers and
bureaucrats who profit from family destruction which rips America apart.
Unfortunately, the Soviet
reforms came too late and never brought about the extent of social
reconstruction that would have allowed recovery from its self-inflicted social
destruction. It was unable to stave off its widely celebrated collapse when the
Berlin wall came down. Even though the Soviets tried in vain to restore the
social values they had worked so hard to eradicate, America only pays “lip
service” to much-needed massive social reform. Serious social reform has been
largely absent from political debate. On the other hand, the systematic
deconstruction of all of the social values that had made our nation great is
being pursued passionately as one of our nation's primary socio-political goals.
“Family law” is one of the
key tools of the “counter-hegemony” which is used to advance the social welfare
state through the promotion of the social structural collapse of America. The
early Soviet system focused on personal happiness and self-centered fulfillment
with its roots in class warfare. When it was determined that this type of class
warfare directed at the family was a complete failure, the Soviets worked
quickly to restore the traditional nuclear family in the 1940’s. Shortly after
this, the NAWL (National Association of Women Lawyers) began their push for
adopting these failed Soviet policies in America.[vii]
America’s version of “family law” has adopted much of the early Soviet failed
version of class warfare, while adopting new and more insidious Gramscian
versions with gender, cultural, and social warfare components.
When the Bolsheviki came into power in 1917 they
regarded the family… with fierce hatred, and set out… to destroy it… [O]ne of
the first decrees of the Soviet Government abolished the term 'illegitimate
children... by equalizing the legal status of all children, whether born in
wedlock or out of it… The father of a child is forced to contribute to its
support, usually paying the mother a third of his salary in the event of a
separation… At the same time a law was passed which made divorce [very quick]…
at the request of either partner in a marriage…
[Marriage became a game where it] was not…
unusual… for a boy of twenty to have had three or four wives, or for a girl of
the same age to have had three or four abortions. [T]he peasants… bitterly
complained: 'Abortions cover our villages with shame. Formerly we did not even
hear of them.'
Many women… found marriage and childbearing a
profitable occupation. They formed connections with the sons of well-to-do
peasants and then blackmailed the father for the support of the children... The
law has created still more confusion because… women can claim support for
children born many years ago.
…Both in the villages and in the cities the
problem of the unmarried mother has become very acute and provides a severe and
annoying test of Communist theories.
…Another new point was that wife and husband
would have an equal right to claim support from the other… The woman would have
the right to demand support for her child even if she lived with several men
during the period of conception; but, in contrast to previous practice, she or
the court would choose one man who would be held responsible for the support.
Commissar Kursky seemed especially proud of this point because it differed so
much from the 'burgeois customs' of Europe and America.
Another speaker objected to the proposed law on the ground that some women would
take advantage of its liberal provisions to form connections with wealthy men
and then blackmail them for alimony.
[viii]
The Federal Government
continues to participate by paying the states incentives encouraging them to
practice these draconian Soviet style, anti-family, child destroying policies.
What a frightening use of our “tax dollars at work” to undermine and destroy the
social order of America. Even going so far as to pay incentives on a slightly
reformed version of Article 81 of The Russian Family Code. This was promoted in
the United States by Irwin Garfinkel as “The Wisconsin Model” for child support
and welfare reform. “The Wisconsin Model then became a center-piece for the
national child support and welfare reform movement.”
[ix]
ADOPTING THE FAILED SOVIET ATTEMPT TO DESTROY THE FAMILY
Instead of our
constitutionally guaranteed “Republican form of government,” we now have a
thoroughly entrenched Marxist Communist judiciary in the civil court system
masquerading as “family law.” America’s family law courts are no longer about
the law, they represent complete perversions of numerous legal maxims and common
law traditions that American law was founded upon.
[x] These abandoned maxims represent the “hegemony” of American culture and
historical tradition in civil family matters. The reprehensible evil of being
rewarded for one’s wrongs, and of punishing the innocent have been firmly
entrenched in the state’s family courts.
No-fault divorce, “the child’s best interests,” and other components of family
law in America were imported from the worst of the Soviet family law system.
For example from a 1975 Louisville Law School review:
“Few members of the
American legal community are aware of the fact that the Soviet Union has had,
for some period of time, what can be described as a no-fault divorce legal
system… [A]t a meeting with a group of Soviet lawyers in 1972, one of them
asked, “Is it for a long time that you (California) have that system?” When
informed of the January 1, 1970 effective date of the California law she
remarked, “I think it is the influence of our law… [T]here are a number of
similarities between Soviet and California divorce laws that suggest a
“borrowing” or a remarkable coincidence.” (pg 32)
“For the Bolsheviks,
with their Marxist disdain for religion, the influence of the ecclesiastical
authorities over the family was an outrage. Since the family represented the
major institution through which the traditions of the past were transmitted from
generation to generation, the new regime had to destroy the old bourgeois
notions of the family and the home. There was also a very urgent practical
reason for disassociating family relations from the influence of the religious
authorities… [T]he first task of the new regime in relation to the family was
to break the power of the church and the husband.” (pg 33)
“Birth alone was
declared the basis of family ties, and all legal discrimination against
illegitimate children was abolished... Early Soviet policy was intended to
attack these evils [of “patriarchy”] and to transfer the care, education and
maintenance of children from home to society. This would mean the end of the
family’s socialization functions, and would remove the child from the
conservative atmosphere of the patriarchal family to a setting that could be
entirely controlled by the regime.” (pg 34)
The Soviet press
reported in the mid-thirties that promiscuity flourished... juvenile
delinquency mounted, and statistical studies showed that the major source
of delinquents was the broken or inattentive home… Additional public
homes for children were established, and propaganda campaigns sought to
persuade the public that a strong family was the most communistically inspired
one. (pg 38, 39)
There was also the matter of seven to nine
million fatherless and homeless children, according to Russian estimates of the
early twenties. In derogation of Marxist ideology, the state had been unable to
assist single mothers, and there existed almost no children’s homes, nurseries
or kindergartens. Because of more pressing tasks and limited personnel and
material resources the state had not been able to fulfill the conditions Engels
had specified for extrafamilial facilities. (pg 40)
More seriously,
anti-family policies were leading to a situation where many children in the
first Soviet urban generation simply lacked the kind of socializing experience
to fit them intellectually or emotionally to the new society the regime
was attempting to build, with its emphasis upon self-discipline and control,
perseverance, steadiness, punctuality and accuracy. While the family influence
had been undermined, extrafamilial agencies had failed to provide a workable
substitute, leaving the child prey to the noxious and deviant influences of “the
street.” (pg 41)
[xi]
The US Library of
Congress Country Studies on Romania also shows direct parallels noting;
“Family law in socialist Romania was modeled
after Soviet family legislation… [I]t sought to undermine the influence of
religion on family life. [Previously] the church was the center of community
life, and marriage, divorce, and recording of births were matters for religious
authorities. Under communism these events became affairs of the state, and
legislation designed to wipe out the accumulated traditions and ancient codes
was enacted. The communist regime required marriage to be legalized in a civil
ceremony at the local registry prior to, or preferably instead of, the customary
church wedding.
Because of the more liberal procedures, the divorce rate grew dramatically,
tripling by 1960, and the number of abortions also increased rapidly. Concern
for population reproduction and future labor supplies prompted the state to
revise the Romanian Family Code to foster more stable personal relationships and
strengthen the family. At the end of 1966, abortion was virtually outlawed, and
a new divorce decree made the dissolution of marriage exceedingly difficult.
INDOCTRINATING LAWYERS
AND JUDGES TO DESTROY AMERICA
Gramsci wrote, "The
conception of law will have to be freed from every remnant of transcendence and
absoluteness, practically from all moralist fanaticism.” Law schools across
America teach Gramscian “critical theory” as well as other communist ideals. A
Westlaw or Lexis search reveals not just dozens, but hundreds and hundreds of
legal articles, law reviews, and other materials on feminism, homosexuality, and
various forms of Gramscian class “victimology.”
"The revolutionary forces have to take civil
society before they take the state, and therefore have to build a coalition of
oppositional groups united under a hegemonic banner which usurps the dominant or
prevailing hegemony."
[xii]
Today’s
Gramscian Marxists have numerous “oppositional groups” headed by lawyers and
promoted by judges and bureacrats. They advance such “counter-hegemonic”
(culturally corrosive and culturally destructive) positions as homosexuality,
abortion, the complete FRAUD of the non-existent “separation of church and
state,” the (it only applies to destroying marriage and relationships) Violence
Against Women Act, “outcome based education,” and the fictitious “global
warming.” They passionately HATE the initiatives that undermine their attempts
to destroy America such as Title IX reform, Faith based initiatives, the 300
million for marriage, vouchers and accountability for education reform, and the
Ten commandments along with ANY other reference to a moral Judeo-Christian code,
and private property rights.High profile court rulings
openly display this Gramscian Marxist theory in practice: the attack on the
pledge of allegiance, the ACLU suing Judge Roy Moore over the Ten Commandments,
and the recent Lawrence v. Texas pro-homosexual ruling. At the root of all
of these rulings and many others is a violation of the judge’s oath to uphold
the constitution. That constitution says that we have a Republican form of
government, NOT a socialist or communist form.
CONCLUSION
Today’s
Marxist Communists operate in law, government, religion, media, entertainment
and education. They use Orwellian NewSpeak with words such as “tolerance”
which actually means intolerance of things that prevent the destruction of all
social structures and societal “norms”. Gramscians preach the religion of
division, class warfare and social warfare while spouting their hatred of
anything traditional, conservative, moral, or values centered – their battle cry
is “the personal is the political.” They want all of Western culture completely
destroyed and centralized government control erected in the place of the
structure they seek to tear apart and discard. The fruits of the culture war
they have engaged on America can be seen in the corrosive remnants of broken
families, broken children, filled prisons, and a host of other ills underwritten
by America’s taxpayers.
Those
who deeply care about this country and our constitution must fearlessly engage
in this culture war--; the war for America’s heart and soul. It’s not too late
yet. There is still a critical mass and majority of Americans who are not ready
for the horrors of the type of communism or national socialism that Gramscians
promote. No form of Marxism or communism (even its most radical form of
National Socialism) has ever survived without totalitarian control. If the
support were there for these Marxist Communists and National Socialists, history
has shown that they would not hesitate to attempt a forceful or violent
overthrow of American government.
"If the
family trends of recent decades are extended into the future, the result will be
not only growing uncertainty within marriage, but the gradual elimination of
marriage in favor of casual liaisons oriented to adult selfishness. The
problem… is that children will be harmed, adults will probably be no happier,
and the social
order could collapse."
[xiii]
“In his book, The
American Sex Revolution, Harvard sociologist Pitirim Sorokin reviewed the
history of societies through the ages, and found that none survived after
they ceased honoring and upholding the institution of marriage between a man and
a woman.”
[xiv]
Marcus Tullius Cicero, in a speech in the Roman senate recorded by Sallust said;
"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious.
But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less
formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city.
But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers
rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For
the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim,
and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that
lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works
secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects
the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be
feared. The traitor is the plague."
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
Gramsci’s “march through the culture” can be turned back once the roots and
methods are known. Recognizing the foundations of the current class and culture
warfare, promoted in many levels of government, law, religion, media, and
education provides relatively easy answers to solve these problems and to turn
back the tide of their corruption and destruction.
- Institute
non-coercive national unity and patriotism in public policy. The national unity
issue destroys the divisive class warfare while reviving patriotism helps to
restore some of the “hegemony” the Marxists so passionately hate.
- Mandate
abstinence training in schools for states to receive health funds. Stop
allowing the natural inhibitions of children to sexual advances to be torn down
by the current trend of pro-sexual education brought to them by their teachers
who are also authority figures.
- Conservative
politicians should take some of their campaign time and effort to tap into and
lobby for more than just money. Conservatives must lobby large businesses to
partner with inner city churches and schools to create programs of opportunity
in disadvantaged areas. This takes the race baiting and class warfare issue
away from the left, and gets socialist government programs out of the
involvement in people’s lives.
[xv]
- Tie clear
mission statements to EVERY government program and agency which include:
promoting traditional marriage and family, restoring national pride, reducing
divorce, reducing illegitimacy, promoting abstinence, and encouraging strong
morals and values. Force a public debate on these issues and it will destroy
the liberal Marxist establishment. Ever since welfare reform the liberal
establishment has been slowly crumbling. Press the issues and accelerate their
demise.
- CAREFULLY
identify several congressional staff members who have a proven track record of
being pro-family, with proven integrity, and have shown a level of frustration
over today’s social problems. Assign them to a special research project to
study Gramsci’s version of Marxist communism and how it has been implemented in
America. Publish their reports and develop strategies based on those reports.
(And if the lefties cry “McCarthy,” let the public debates begin! An honest
reading of McCarthy’s record completely vindicates him and exposes them!)
- Press the
Judiciary committee to amend Title 18 of the US Code to create provisions
stating that no state or federal judge shall have any form of immunity
whatsoever for engaging in actions which produce or promote taxpayer fraud. For
any such act or acts, they shall be subject to both criminal prosecution and
they shall be subject to suit in their personal capacity. Let the judges and
lawyers scream about “independence” and then insist that they must interpret
“independence” to mean that they should be free to break the law and commit
fraud against the taxpayers of the United States.
- If Title 18
cannot be amended, then insert the provisions under Title 42 related to the
Public Health and Welfare.
- End taxpayer
funding of PBS. Expand libel and slander laws to include distortions,
manipulations, or unbalanced reporting in television and cable news programs.
Let the trial lawyers have a field day with the liberal media.
- Codify in the USC the mission of senior level bureaucrats and their guiding principles with
explicit provisions noting personal liability for not adhering to these
provisions. Codify the requirement for annual reports by heads of agencies
demonstrating how they have complied with these requirements. For example:
- Make the HHS
Director’s mission something like “to work to restore traditional marriage and
family while reducing the number of single-parent and broken families who need
to collect welfare or child support.” Make it a mandatory reporting requirement
on how this mission is being fulfilled.

"Our culture, including all
that we are taught in schools and universities, is so infused with patriarchal
thinking that it must be torn up root and branch if genuine change is to
occur. Everything must go - even the allegedly universal disciplines of
logic, mathematics, and science, and the intellectual values of objectivity,
clarity, and precision on which the former depend." A quote from Daphne Patai
and Noretta Koertge, "Professing Feminism: Cautionary Tales from the Strange
World of Women's Studies" (New York, Basic Books, 1994), p. 116

A similar program which has been very successful is DAPCEP (the Detroit Area
Pre-College Engineering Program
http://www.dapcep.org/ ). The difference is that a program to
undermine Gramsci should have BOTH parent’s involvement as its centerpiece.
While it would be ideal if they were married, requiring BOTH parents is a start
in the right direction.
