Saini lisi i lalo
I le fia sefulu tausaga ua tuanaʻi, o le Pentagon, malosiʻaga faʻaleoleo, ma faʻalapotopotoga ua leva ona galulue faʻalautele e faʻalauteleina lo latou i ai i le K-12 aʻoga aʻoga ma iunivesite lautele. O le tuʻufaʻatasia o aʻafiaga a le militeli, o mafaufau faʻaola ma faʻavae faʻavae, atoa ai ma le faʻamaopoopoina o a tatou aʻoaʻoga lautele ua faʻaleaogaina ai le faʻatemokalasi autu o aʻoaʻoga lautele lautele. O se aga masani, afai e faʻatagaina e faʻaauau, o le a faʻavaivaia le faʻamuamua o pulega faʻalemalo ma, mulimuli ane, o le tatou atunuʻu tuʻuina atu i temokalasi faʻavae.
O le au saini o lenei faamatalaga e talitonu e faanatinati mo tagata uma e lagolagoina le faamasinoga amiotonu, filemu ma le siosiomaga ia iloa le matautia o le natura o lenei faʻafitauli ma faʻafetaui ma le fuafuaina gaioiga.
O LE FAʻAFefe I AʻOAʻOGA SIVA
O le sili ona malosi taumafaiga i fafo e faʻaaoga le aʻoga faiga e aʻoaʻo ai se talitonuga ma aʻafiaga leaga umi mo le sosaiete e sau mai le militeri faʻavae. I le luasefulu tausaga talu ai, faʻatasi ai ma nai faasalalauga faʻasalalau poʻo faitioga a tagata lautele, o le Pentagon aʻafia i aʻoga ma tamaiti aʻoga olaga ua tuputupu ae exponentially. Mo se faʻataʻitaʻiga:
- Aso aʻoga uma, a itiiti mai o le afa miliona tamaiti aʻoga maualuga aʻoga auai Junior ROTC vasega e maua faʻatonuga mai litaea ofisa oe ua filifilia e le Pentagon e aʻoaʻo lana ia lava faʻamaumauga o talaʻaga ma agaifanua. O nei tamaiti aʻoga ua tofiaina "tulaga" ma faʻatonutonuina e talitonu o taua ma taua lautele e tutusa, ma le uiga o le le fesiligia fesili i le pule o se vaega o le lelei sitiseni.
- O loʻo faʻamautuina aʻoaʻoga malosi i totonu o nisi aʻoga a le malo (ua i ai nei le valu i Chicago), lea e ave uma i ai tamaiti aʻoga le mamafa o aganuu a le militeri ma mea taua.
- O loʻo salalau atu se fesoʻotaʻiga o polokalame faʻafesoʻotaʻi a le militeri i le selau o aoga amata ma aoga tulagalua. O faʻataʻitaʻiga o polokalame a le Young Marines ma Starbase, ma polokalame a le militeri e ofi atu i totonu o aʻoga i lalo o le ofu talaloa o Saienisi / Tekonolosi / Inisinia / Matai (STEM) aʻoaʻoga.
- Ua aʻoaʻoina fitafita faʻataʻitaʻi e tuliloa le "aoga aʻoga" e avea ma a latou sini (tagai: "Army School Recruiting Program Tusitaulima"). O lo latou auai soo i potuaʻoga, 'aiga i le aoauli ma fonotaga, o loʻo aʻafia i le faʻalauiloaina o mea taua a le militeri, o le faʻatauina atu o oloa, ma iʻu ai lava i taua.
- Talu mai le 2001, tulafono feterale ua soona solia le aʻoga tagata tutoatasi ma aiga faalilolilo pe a oʻo mai i le faʻamatuʻu atu o tamaiti aʻoga faʻamatalaga faʻapitoa i le militeli. E le gata i lea, o tausaga taʻitasi e faitau afe aʻoga e faʻatagaina le militeri e faʻatautaia lana suʻega ulufale - le ASVAB - i le 10th-12th tamaiti aʻoga, faʻatagaina tagata faʻatosina e vaʻaia tulafono e puipuia aia tatau a matua ma le le faalauaʻiteleina o tamaiti laiti ma maua ai le avanoa i faʻamatalaga a le tagata lava ia i le selau ma selau o afe o tamaiti aʻoga.
O LE FAʻAFefe I Aʻoaʻoga Lautele
Taumafaiga a vaega i fafo atu o le aʻoga faiga e tui conservatism ma faʻalapotopotoga taua i totonu o le aʻoaʻoga gaioiga sa faia mo ni nai tausaga. I se lata mai faʻataʻitaʻiga o le aʻoga taumatau fesoasoaniga, O le Times Niu Ioka Na lipotia mai o vaega o le ti, faʻaaoga ai lesona peleni ma tusi lanu, ua unaʻia aʻoga e "aʻoaʻo se faʻauigaina faʻaleaganuʻu o le Faʻavae, lea o le malo feterale o se tolotolo ma le taliaina i olaga o saolotoga-fiafia Amerika. (Vaʻai:http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/17/us/constitution-has-its-day-amid-a-struggle-for-its-spirit.html )
Faʻalapotopotoga ua amataina a latou aʻafiaga i aʻoga ma masini e pei o Channel One, o se tapunia-matagaluega TV televise e faʻasalalau faʻasalalauga mataupu i aso uma e puʻeina tamaiti aʻoga aofia i 8,000 aʻoga. O nisi kamupani ua faʻamanuiaina aʻoaʻoga e saini konekarate faapitoa mo pizza, meainu suamalie ma isi oloa, ma le faʻamoemoe o le aʻoaʻoina muamua o le faʻamaoni i tamaiti. O le lipoti a le National Education Policy Center na tuuina mai ia Novema 2011 o loʻo tusia ai le tele o auala e faʻaleagaina ai le aʻoaʻoga e faiga paʻaga / aʻoga e ala i le tuʻufaʻatasia o mafaufauga o tamaiti aʻoga "i se auala faʻataʻamilo" ma faʻateʻia ai lo latou mafaia ona mafaufau loloto. (Vaʻai: http://nepc.colorado.edu/publication/schoolhouse-commercialism-2011 )
O le atinaʻeina o lenei kamupani-faʻauo ala ala lupe ma se matua tele faʻalapotopotoga faʻavae e faʻateʻia Amerika o aʻoaʻoga lautele faiga. Setete i le salafa o le atunuʻu o loʻo latou faʻaaogaina tupe faʻaalu aʻoga, tuʻuina atu i fafo galuega a faiaʻoga lautele, taofiofia aia tatau-faʻatau atu aia tatau, ma faʻaleaogaina iuni a faiaʻoga. E i ai le faʻateleina o tusi faʻamaonia ma aoga "cyber" e faʻalauiloa ai le aʻafia o pisinisi tumaʻoti ma le unaʻi agaʻi i aoga e maua ai polofiti, o le taui e totogi atu i kamupani tumaoti, e fesoʻotaʻi saʻo lava ma tamaiti aoga i luga o faʻatonuga faʻatulagaina. O le faʻatupuina o aʻafiaga o le fausiaina lea o faʻalapotopotoga e faʻafaileleina se talitonuga faigofie e tuʻufaʻatasia ai le faʻatau faʻatau ma le tautua. (Vaʻai: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2011/12/michigan-privatize-public-education )
O le faʻamaopoopoina o aʻoaʻoga e ala i aʻoga tomua ma le faʻatupulaia o le vaega o aʻoaʻoga i iunivesite o se isi tulaga faʻalavelave tele mo aʻoga lautele. Tusi a Diane Ravitch Pule o mea sese ( http://www.npr.org/2013/09/27/225748846/diane-ravitch-rebukes-education-activists-reign-of-error ) ma le tusi fou a Henry A. Giroux, Neoliberalism's War on Higher Education, ( http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/22548-henry-giroux-beyond-neoliberal-miseducation ) tuʻuina atu faʻasino i le masalosalo matafaioi o faʻalapotopotoga taua i aʻoaʻoga lautele.
Aisea ua tupu ai lenei mea? Na taʻua e Giroux, "Chris Hedges, o le muamua Times Niu Ioka tusitala, na aliali mai i luga Talokalasi Nei! i le 2012 ma fai i le aliʻi talimalo ia Amy Goodman o loʻo faʻaalu e le malo feterale le $ 600 piliona i le tausaga mo aʻoga— “ma e mananaʻo iai kamupani.”
E iai foʻi faʻalapotopotoga e lagolagoina taumafaiga e faʻalauiloa talaʻaga ma aʻoaʻoga a tagata mai se agaʻi i luma, e pei o le Howard Zinn Education Project (https://zinnedproject.org ) ma Aoga Toe Mafaufau ( http://www.rethinkingschools.org ). Ma o se tamaʻi gaioiga o loʻo galue faʻasaga ia Channel One ma le faʻapisinisiina o le aʻoga siosiomaga (eg, http://www.commercialalert.org/issues/education ma ( http://www.obligation.org ).
TUTU LENEI FAʻAFITAULI
E i ai le mafuaʻaga e faʻamoemoe ai e uiga i le toe suia o lenei tulaga pe a tatou vaʻavaʻai, mo se faʻataʻitaʻiga, i nisi o manuia i taumafaiga a le aʻoga e taofi le militani i aʻoga. I le 2009, o le tuʻufaʻatasia o tamaiti aʻoga maualuga, matua ma faiaʻoga i le taua tele, o le militeri-o le taulaga o San Diego na faʻamanuiaina i le faʻamalosia o le latou vasega aʻoga filifilia e tapunia JROTC fanaina laina i le sefulutasi aoga maualuga. Lua tausaga mulimuli ane, o le tutusa lotogatasi maua le pulega aʻoga e pasia se faiga faʻatapulaʻa matua faʻatapulaʻaina ai fitafita militeri i ana aʻoga uma. E ui o na taumafaiga e toalaiti lava i le numera, o manumalo tutusa na manumalo ai i isi aoga itumalo ma luga o le setete tulaga i Hawaii ma Maryland.
E i ai foi nisi faʻalapotopotoga lagolagoina lagolago taumafaiga e faʻalauiloa talafaʻasolopito ma civics lesona mai a alualu i luma vaʻaiga, pei o le Zinn Education Project (www.zinnedproject.org) ma Aoga Toe Mafaufau (www.lofogou aoga ile aoga.org). Ma o se tamaʻi gaioiga o loʻo galue faʻasaga ia Channel One ma le faʻapisinisiina o le aʻoga siosiomaga (eg, http://www.commercialalert.org/issues/education/ ma http://www.obligation.org/ ).
E pei ona folafolaina ma aoga e pei o nei taumafaiga, e sesega pe a faatusatusa i le tele fua o mea o kulupu i le isi itu o le fusi faaupufai o lo o faia ma le mataalia i le siosiomaga siosiomaga e faasaoina le aafiaga o conservatism, militarism ma pulega malosiaga.
Ua oʻo i le taimi mo faʻalapotopotoga alualu i luma, faʻavae ma ala o faʻasalalauga e faʻafetauia ai lenei mea ma avea tutusa aofia ai i le aʻoaʻoga faiga. E sili ona taua le tele o faʻalapotopotoga tuʻufaʻatasia e teteʻe i le tuputupu aʻe o le Pentagon i K-12 aʻoga ma iunivesite. Faʻafouina le tulaga muamua o le faitio mafaufau ma taua faʻatemokalasi i la tatou aganuʻu e le mafai ona faia e aunoa ma le taofia le militerization ma faʻalapotopotoga aveʻesega o aʻoaʻoga lautele.
