In previous articles we wrote that ignorance is the cause of many evils, because people are not born evil, but because of ignorance they become evil. According to the same reasoning, man improves with the education of a certain subject, but his overall education is done with continuous Knowledge. When people were able to tame animals and put them in their service, without creating problems for them, then it is surprising that today they have neglected the education of young people and have reached a state of jungle savagery. And unfortunately these trends come from the rich countries of the West, which both waste large amounts of money on education and have excellent facilities. So the education system is failing and instead of teaching children the virtue of life, we are teaching them vice with the sole aim of profit. This is how universities and professions are evaluated today. Of course, no one is interested in shaping the character of young people, so that they can become useful citizens and live in prosperity and happiness. On the contrary, while it has been able to domesticate animals, it is unable to educate young people who also have reason. A large part of today’s young people are not domesticated enough to become useful in society and useful to each other. In this case, for our country, the State, with its soul-destroying and absurd curriculum programs, produces new rapists, disobedient people, troublemakers, abusers, thieves, drug addicts, alcoholics, terrorists and criminals. So much ignorance reigns in Greek education, which has the richest cultural heritage in the world. Our country, which discovered everything and above all the Right Reason, is now running to take the spotlight from the West and is making our children illiterate. Along with the positives, they imitate every nonsense and stupidity sent to us by barbaric brains from Hesperia without passing it through the Right Reason. But if they were taught what our ancestors have offered – and this is the entirety of science and the principles of technology, our children would form images in their brains for further research and primary development. Of course, teachers and professors also play a serious role. When they are illiterate, then how can they educate students? If there was the will of the State, there is a way to train them, as is the case in the Armed Forces, so that they can reach an excellent level of learning. But when the Minister of Education – as is happening recently – is appointed based on party criteria and the programs are sent from above and the teachers are obliged not to deviate even by an antenna, then the responsibility falls on the Minister and, due to its importance, on the Prime Minister himself. It is amazing how countries with small populations, like ours (Finland, Norway, etc.) with the appropriate education, perform miracles and come first in many areas. The political system of partisanship also bears great responsibility, which is unable to achieve consensus on serious issues due to “partisan interest” and “political cost”. And they fight on national issues such as: Demographics, Education, National Defense, Foreign Policy and above all the National Economy. The Left, like a bull in a glass shop, overturns everything, even the patriotism of the Greeks. The partisanship deals with the insignificant and insignificant and leaves unresolved the important and vital for the survival of our homeland and the Greek race. There is a solution to this too, but the partisanship does not agree to a new Constitution of Direct Democracy with independent three branches of government (Legislative, Executive, Judicial) under conditions of broad popular consensus, speed in decision-making, integration of new technologies, effective controls and rapid enforcement of justice. If Mr. Mitsotakis had the makings of a national leader, now would be his chance, but oh well! He will continue on his path. (8/9/25)
