Culture: Cultural Marxism: ‘Political Correctness’ Gone Mad One of the Offspring of the Frankfurt School, ‘Political Correctness’ Now Enables Illegal Enterprises,
Protects Child Abusers by John Pellam, Director The Bibliotheque (BWW)

Global Solutions In April 2016 British newspaper The Independent reported that the
British Department of Education has been accused of covering up evidence that
over 1,000 pupils, reported missing at school, were actually being educated at
illegal faith establishments. The Independent published an investigation in which they suggest that
thousands of pupils – unaccounted for in mainstream education – had been moved
to illegal Jewish schools operating in London. The report revealed that more
than 1,000 boys had been placed in ultra-Orthodox Jewish faith schools from as
young as the age of 13, where their main education is received through studying
religious texts. The report claimed the pupils leave the school with little or
no ability to speak English and few qualifications that will help them prepare
for the outside world. The report
also says that the illegal schools – known to be linked to Haredi followers of
Orthodox Judaism faith – have been able to operate for over 40 years,
apparently with no government intervention, despite laws making the running of
a non-registered school a criminal offense. The schools have also been accused
of physical violence and sexual abuse of children, alleged to have taken place
inside the schools. Schools that are not registered are deemed illegal by education
authorities. The Independent
reports that Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain, chair of the Accord Coalition (a body that promotes inclusive education curriculums),
stated to the paper that: "There has long been an open secret in the
Jewish world that ultra-Orthodox schools have been operating in Hackney and are
not registered with the Department of Education. In essence, they are illegal
schools, but authorities appear to be turning a blind eye.” Why have
the authorities turned a blind eye to these crimes? In reply, the Rabbi
surmised that “It could be that people higher up the educational chain fear
that closing the schools could be branded as anti-Semitism. There is no reason
why one cannot be immersed in Jewish life, but still speak the national
language or be able to gain qualifications. As a rabbi I applaud those engaged
in Jewish education, but as a rabbi I also condemn those who blinker children's
horizons and isolate them from wider society”. Thus ‘Political
Correctness’ has become so perverted that illegal schools are allowed to operate because authorities are so
cowed, so intimated by the risk of being called “anti-Semitic”, that they turn
a blind eye. Beyond being deprived of a basic education, these children were
also for subjected to Medieval discipline and sexual abuse. This, because
the authorities who were supposed to be protecting these children were afraid
of being called “anti-Semitic”. For years
academic and scientific research has been stifled by ‘Political Correctness’,
even to the point of prison sentences and heavy financial fines for research
into particularly ‘forbidden’ subjects. ‘Political Correctness’ is defended by its
apologists as protecting those who may be insulted or ‘traumatized’ by others
who abuse their right to Free Speech. This is where ‘Political Correctness’ needs to be clearly and distinctly differentiated
from common courtesy, as they are two very different things. For example, a
rude remark is not someone exercising their right to Free Speech, it is simply
rude. Someone telling a lie is not an exercise of Free Speech, it is a lie,
pure and simple. ‘Political
Correctness’ comes into play not in terms of courtesy, but rather in terms of
limiting one’s expression of political thoughts and opinion. And even to the
point that authorities are too intimidated to the protect the young school
children they are entrusted to defend. Cui bono We know
that Free Speech is limited by ‘Political Correctness’, as is academic and
scientific research, and now, law enforcement’s ability to protect children. But who
are the beneficiaries of ‘Political Correctness’? The Frankfurt School A very brief review of the Frankfurt School and the
origins of Cultural Marxism, of which ‘Political Correctness’ is a facet: Karl
Marx had envisioned that when a continent-wide war came to Europe, the workers
of the European nations would join forces and revolt against the Capitalistic
systems that Marx imagined “repressed” them. When, with the exception of
Czarist Russia, this did not happen the Marxists of the day were amazed that
the working classes remained loyal to their respective countries. In contemplating
the reasons for their failure, they decided that Western Culture and religion
played a dual role in preventing the working classes from realizing the
predicament the Marxists imagined them to be in. They thus set out to modify
Marxist theory from a revolution based on economic repression to a revolution
based on cultural repression…accordingly, they declared ‘war’ on Western
Civilization and religion. In order to carry out this war they had to agree on
how, exactly, to modify Marxist theory. A young German Marxist of the time was the son of a
multimillionaire grain merchant, and he used his inheritance to fund a think
tank to bring the leading Marxist intellectuals of the day together to develop
strategy and execution of this new Cultural Marxism. Thus in 1923 the Institute
for Social Research was founded in Frankfurt, Germany. The grain heir
originally planned to name the think tank the School for Marxism, but was
convinced by others in the founding group that it was best not to be so open
about the actual purpose of the Institute. Thus began what eventually became known as the
Frankfurt School. Replying heavily on Freudian theory, the group set out to
shake the foundations of Western Civilization with the development of concepts
such as Critical Theory, which in essence is the criticism of anything relating to traditional German culture. Most of the members of the Frankfurt School were
Jewish, so after Hitler’s rise to power in Germany in 1933 the group moved to
Switzerland and in 1935 moved to New York and affiliated with Columbia
University. Out of this Cultural Marxism and Critical Theory
came the concept of ‘Political Correctness’, wherein certain attitudes, beliefs
and even words are effectively prohibited, thereby stifling free speech and
free thought in a nation whose constitution guarantees such basic rights. The Marxists’ concept of
“Liberating Tolerance” became in effect a method by which the Marxists could
negate the ideas of those they disagree with. Today, in 2016, that silence
imposed by ‘Political Correctness’ verges on the fringes of the limits imposed
only by a totalitarian state. For a more complete and more detailed review of the
