School system to serve public CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 And so we skirt around the problem. The concern about sex education as it is planned will not go away, willy-nilly. No one can stand to be put down or ridiculed in a polite way. When parents ask a question in good faith they should be answered in the same manner. A put-down may scare some of them away but not all. Again we say the school system is there to serve the public, not the other way around. No one deserves to be talked down to. They are always in evidence but they have a right to their questions too as long as they don't try to force their concepts and ideas on other people or the school system. We hope all will be heard and respected for their thoughts and this should pertain to both sides. One cannot help but wonder why the world seems to be in such turmoil. Are we allowing ourselves to be undermined? I suddenly remembered something I had heard and it bears thinking about. Newer documentations would be far more to the point as the following is 60 years old. In 1919, some of the Allied Forces obtained a copy of some of the Communist Rules of Revolution: corrupt the young, get them away from religion, get them interested in sex, make them superficial, destroy their ruggedness. Divide the people into battle groups by constantly harping on controversial mat- ters of no importance. Destroy the people's faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and disgrace. Always preach true democracy but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible. By encouraging gover- nment extravagance, destroy its credit, produce years of in- flation with rising prices and general discontent. Incite un- necessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such ideas. Cause breakdown of the old moral virtues, honesty, sobriety, self-restraint, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness. A familiar ring? When I think of this as I do on occasion, I wonder about the whole world or rather the free world. These things are so subtle, so very clever and all it takes are a few well chose words, some written words and the merry go round starts to spin. It's not far out, not prejudice, just common sen- se to believe that rather than wars of any size, war can be waged with an undermining of our society. We have been through the drug stage even to medical drugs for too many things. It's all happening just in the right order and we are allowing it to happen. What fools we must appear to be to others who are more disciplined. To end with a quote from A.A. Milne, "No doubt Jack the Ripper excused himself on the grounds that it was human nature." Don't we all? EDITOR'S NOTE: Miss Chambers' column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Whitby Free Press or any of its individual staff members.
