Re-constructing History, Part 9: Is the Education Institution a Cult?

by

Part 9 IS THE EDUCATION INSTITUTION A CULT? looks at cults and cult tendencies. While calling an entire institution a cult is a stretch, the education institution does exhibit certain cult-like traits.

But even if we do not call something a cult, examining it within a cult-framework may provide some insights into how to address it. This applies not to just the education institution, but to the Trump campaign. If the Trump campaign honestly looks at itself through the lense of the seven signs of a cult, it may learn something about itself and how to address Trump’s high negativity, especially among independent voters.

Margaret Singer, Ph.D. psychologist author of “Cults in Our Midst” stated:

Deprogramming–that is, providing members with information about the cult and showing them how their own decision-making power had been taken away from them.

Restoring critical thinking and effective decision-making needs to be the foundation of all reform and recovery efforts. It is the first cult sign listed in the table above and at the heart of the other six. It is the only viable way to ensure sustainable liberty and prosperity.
