0028 State and local initiatives3c<\/sub> contextualize a perspective-level actuality2c<\/sub> that manifests the potential of educational freedom1c<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0029 What is freedom1c<\/sub> and how is it different from (il)liberalism1c<\/sub>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Il)liberalism1c<\/sub> maintains regulatory control while promoting the appearance of individual autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freedom1c<\/sub> requires the person to take initiatives in the face of uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0030 What do I mean by freedom1c<\/sub>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virtual nested form in the realm of potential<\/em> says, “The normal context of educational freedom1c<\/sub> brings the actuality of one’s occupation1b<\/sub> into relation with the potential of ‘both personal motivations and the perspective-level normal context of educational initiatives’1a<\/sub>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a one word label for the perspective-level normal context of local initiatives1c<\/sub> projecting motivational awareness into the content-level potential1a<\/sub>?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does the term, “empowerment”, apply?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0031 Uh-oh, Betsy DeVos now replaces three elements in the interscope of BG3c<\/sub>(il)L1c<\/sub> education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 07<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0032 Obviously, DeVos’s use of the term, “empowerment”, does not coincide with its use the normal context of big-government3c<\/sub>.  For BG(il)L, “empowerment” conveys the illusion of individual autonomy within the (hidden) normal context of regulatory control<\/em>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

0033 When a parent and a student hear the word, “empowerment”, they imagine that there is only one meaning to the term.  Is that not the way that spoken words work? Words are placeholders in a system of differences.  One cannot have one placeholder in two systems of differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or… can one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, the meaning of the word, “empowerment”, depends on whether the perspective-level normal context is the Department of Education’s big government3c<\/sub> or Betsy DeVos’s creative initiatives3c<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0034 Is this some sort of language game?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Betsy DeVos made a move, substituting a new terms in for three elements of the BG(il)L interscope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are her opponents, the devotees of BG(il)L, going to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0035 What is the opposite of freedom? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about slavery?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slavery is a system where every person is certain to have a job.  It is the ultimate act of equal employment.  Slavery is the ultimate occupation in terms of certainty, even though no one wants the jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0036 What does this imply?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freedom associates to uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slavery associates to certainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BG(il)L offers the facade of individual autonomy while retaining regulatory control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BG(il)L offers the facade of freedom while keeping the subject a slave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BG(il)L offers, in a world filled with uncertainty, certainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you get the certificate2a<\/sub>,<\/em> then you will get a job1b<\/sub> that shows that you belong to a profession2b<\/sub><\/em>.  That is certainty1c<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BG(il)L initiatives3c<\/sub> cultivate certainty1c<\/sub> and job security1b<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Betsy DeVos’s initiatives3c<\/sub> create uncertainty1c<\/sub> and jobs that are not defined by federal regulations1b<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0037 Here is a picture of how the manipulative permanent members of the Department of Education<\/em> respond to the establishment-challenging rhetoric of Donald Trump’s choice for Secretary of the Department of Education<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 08<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Power must be restored to the bureaucrats,.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0038 What does this back and forth imply?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the imperial capital, it is all a game of words<\/em>.  Each technical term, such as “empowerment” and “freedom”, has one meaning in the interscope of BG(il)L3c<\/sub><\/em> and another meaning in the interscope of Betsy DeVos3c<\/sub>, the eleventh Secretary at the Department of Education<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0039 The three-level interscope is the game board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Betsy DeVos makes a move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The establishment counters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
