A Defeat for Sex Ed
May 8, 2019
PRO-family activists won a victory in Washington state last month against a bill that would have advanced the sex ed agenda in public schools, Salwa Bachar at Tradition in Action reports.
What moral can we take away from this story as counter-revolutionaries? I end with the encouraging words of Dr. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, taken from his classic book, Revolution and Counter-Revolution:
“The counter-revolutionary has no reason to be discouraged because of the fact that the great majority of men are not presently on his side. Indeed, an exact study of history shows us that it was not the masses who made the Revolution. They moved in a revolutionary direction because they had revolutionary elites behind them. If they had had elites of the opposite orientation behind them, they likely would have moved in the opposite direction.
“An objective view of history shows that the factor of mass is secondary; the principal factor is the formation of elites. For this formation, the counter-revolutionary can always use the resources of his individual action, and can therefore obtain good results in spite of the shortage of material and technical means with which, at times, he may contend.”
