Writing in The Telegraph on the subject of educational standards, Janet Daley obeys the Law of Sod and misplaces an apostrophe:

Seated as he and his primary classmates were at group tables made it far too easy to be distracted and annoyed by others' misbehaviour, and also meant that it was possible for pupils to copy each others' work.

The second others' should be other's, but I think she got distracted by the first others' which should not be other than it is. Or maybe this is an Americanism, in which case all bets are off.

I'm pretty sure I'm right, but people who correct each other's grammar run the risk of reflexively hoisting themselves with one another's petards.

Janet Daley also messes up her syntax. Corrections below:

In America, and I sense this to be true of all the West, the education and MSM enterprises have been seized, monopolized and are controlled by the liberals. The liberals have agendized their ideology, which in the grand design and scheme of things, ultimates in a one world, socialist government, with their leaders at the top of a two teired, cultural heap.

The education of our children now has a new, albeit somewhat secretive or hidden agenda of indoctrinating children to and towards the said liberal grand design of things. Here children will be taught about the importance of multiculturalism over the pride and patriotism of national sovereignty and the pursuits of a given nations cultural ideology.

Among other things, the traditional three Rs, reading, writting and arithmatic, along with history have been at least somewhat displaced and diluted by the time and energy needed to indoctrinate our children, our posterity, to their one world government of socialism, its two teired structure, with of course their God complex leaders at the top enjoying their power, fame and fortune.

Recently in the non MSM news, a one Greta Hawkins of PS 90, I believe it was, in New York city had her little agenda of indoctrination exposed. This story can be found online.

There are of course many reasons and possibilities for errors in print. I understand the humor of being the pot, calling the kettle black, while inadvertantly displaying the same blackness. However, the change that has transpired in the education of our children is abominable. If nothing else adulterating children is unatural, and indoctrinating children to the liberal orientation, when said liberal orientation is born out of immature and a God complexed ideology, is an abrogation of the spirit of taxpayer funded public school education.

Liberalism is the enemy within. Liberalism is the mindset of immaturity. The liberal leaders are the progressives. They progress toward one world government of socialism. Socialism eliminates personal sovereignty, liberty, wealth and the pursuit of happiness, and bequeaths and begets tyranny, poverty and misery.

The time has come for non liberals to awaken to the liberal philosophy and their agendized ideology, and make a stand to prevent this highway robbery of our posterity before it is to late.

Liberalism is the enemy within. Thank you.
