Indoctrination Fridays: ‘Three Little Pigs’ Slaughtered by Leftists

Leftist educators will take just about anything and turn it on its head to fit their agenda. Even children’s fairytales don’t escape the slaughterhouse.

Ellen Wolpert, a longtime “early childhood educator” in Massachusetts, penned an article entitled,
http://www.publicschoolspending.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Rethinking-the-Three-Little-Pigs.pdf

You’re probably familiar with the story: a big, bad wolf threatens to destroy the homes of three individual pigs. There’s a lot of huffing and puffing on the wolf’s part, but he can only blow over the two homes that were constructed with straw and sticks.

The house standing left standing is made of brick, leaving readers to conclude that careful planning and hard work (as represented by the brick house) leads to success. The pigs’ definition of success, of course, is to avoid being eaten by the wolf.

That’s how normal, well-adjusted people interpret the story. But Leftists, by and large, are dour, unhappy people who see oppression and bigotry around every corner. So it’s no surprise that Wolpert sees a dark and malicious subtext to the simple fairy tale.


“I first became aware of the story’s hidden messages when we were doing a unit on housing at my daycare center,” Wolpert writes in the article. “As part of the unit, we talked about different homes and the many approaches to solving a basic human need: a place to live.”

Having been properly “sensitized by the movement for a multicultural curriculum,” Wolpert began to realize that:

“ … one of the most fundamental messages of ‘The Three Little Pigs’ is that it belittles straw and stick homes and the ‘lazy types’ who build them. On the other hand, the story extols the virtues of brick homes, suggesting that they are built by serious, hardworking people and are strong enough to withstand adversity.

“Is there any coincidence that brick homes tend to be built by people in Western countries, often by those with more money? That straw homes are more common in non-European cultures, particularly Africa and Asia?”

Who knew the story had such a hateful, Eurocentric message?

If parents and teachers persist in filling their children’s heads with such trash as “The Three Little Pigs,” Wolpert offers some strategies for mitigating the damage:

“One might explain, for example, that in many tropical areas straw homes are built to take best advantage of cooling breezes. In some areas, straw homes are on stilts as protection from insects and animals or to withstand flooding.

“Such a perspective then becomes part of a broader process of helping children to understand why homes are different in different parts of the world – and that just because something is different doesn’t mean it’s inferior.”

Sure, tell that to the first little pig and the second little pig. They may appreciate Wolpert’s “broader perspective,” but that doesn’t change the fact that because they wanted to “dance and sing” they almost became the wolf’s dinner.

By why stop there? Perhaps Wolpert could revise the story so in the end, the pigs welcome the wolf, commune with him, and help to understand why he would want to eat them. Perhaps they could dialogue with the wolf about tolerance and multiculturalism, and if they’re really successful, they’ll turn him into a vegan.

I’m sure the Left would like to see rework most of our cultural heritage to promote its agenda. But if they move too fast and reach too far, the people will push back. As with all other leftist agenda, one small step at a time.

Now, ignore the left/right stupidity.
Isn't this one of the dumbest things you ever heard?
And these nuggets are allowed to ''educate'' the children.
Gee, I wonder why the west is dying?

Remember folks, lenin said ''Give me the control of the education system of any nation and I will take that nation within one generation without firing a shot.''
They did.

Lol ... I even paused and took a deep breath before opening the post.

If you're clever you can be lazy !

Build a house of straw and sticks, put a sniper in place, wait till the wolf shows up take him out so you can live happily ever after.
Never any need to build a house of bricks again ... :p
(Concrete and steel constructions are bad for natural energy flow anyway)

[Davidallany]

Are we suppose to thank brick building free stone Masons who saved us from the imaginary big bad wolves. but, steered us into 2 world wars, twisted history, turned brother against brother and gave us the money system.? I thank you Lord for the information and pray that people will see through the fog.

Humm.. So what is your point. That there are stupid people everywhere?
I love the way divide and conquer is used in this country and people eat it up.
Who says the west is dying you? That is one hell of a dumb nugget. LOL:bored:

Do you think this is how society is meant to be?

[doodah]

Oh, I don't know, Sid, if you should get so exercised about this. You'd probably have to go into debt to build a brick house, thus supporting the current usurious monetary system. A nice little house of sticks and straw (a strawbale house maybe?) actually sounds pretty inviting, or a nice yurt.

Just dig a hole in the ground for a shelter, or use a cave or a tree-house, or a tent. No need to spend money at all.

LOL. You know what you are right. Will look inwards and I will defer to your experience on how society should be. Because clearly you have an understanding of how it should work out. Left and Right arguments and dumb articles on nut jobs from all angles are worth presenting. Respectfully bow-out of the conversation. Peace :doh:

Weeelllllll!!!!! The little piggies in Christchurch who built their homes of sticks are real happy. Cos the posh piggies who built their homes of stones and bricks are now sitting on a pile of rubble.!!!!!!

I agree with LS. Its a load of old cobblers!! Leave the fairy tales alone. What are they going to interfere with next?

"Acme Realitors. May I help you?"

Yes. I need a place to stay. Something really sturdy, definitely not straw, yet affordable for a nugget's salary.


"Certainly. We have JUST what you are looking for. Wanna see something REAL dumb?"

Well sure ...


"Very well have a look at the floor plan of our latest model."

p.s. I forgive myself for choosing middle-class, western schooling.........

What's up with the right wing propaganda aimed at dividing people with hate? instead of worrying about what "lefties" are doing maybe you need to take a look your self and ask why you would post something so bigoted and why you take delight in offending people...this is disgusting, stuff like this really lowers PA's image by turning off people who consider themselves at least somewhat enlightened.

Indeed, for the truth points to itself, always.

[ViralSpiral]

Ascendingstarseed, divide and conquer has always been the game-plan.
You have the choice to join/not.
I dont think you will find big bands joining the propaganda parade in this forum.
Discernment is key and pointing out the "wrongs" of some-one's journey, calls for introspection.

What the hell are you on about?
I can see where you fit into the false left/right paradigm, your words show that.
The whole point of this is that there are people out there messing with childrens minds.
How is this bigoted?
And why do you assume I delight in offending people? That is more YOU than me.

Lol I once had to explain to my little boy that the WICKED stepmother in a book we were reading WASN'T cool! Still don't mess with the oldies x

Over here on the "left" we prefer to call ourselves progressive. The left/right paradigm is a set up by those defining the dialogue, and of course so are the Democrats and Republicans, that's why I call 'em Republicrats.. Control the dialogue and you control the outcome, munch on this one.

Pick yer poison mates and slug it down.
