Unfortunately, the current
self-perpetuating system in America and even in most Westernized
countries, is liberalism, which is just another form of collective
socialism. It is a flawed, bankrupt system that emphasizes the
collective and de-emphasizes the individual, the former being the very
antithesis of the foundation of American freedom. Becoming an educator is
a process of being indoctrinated by the current self-perpetuating system,
liberalism.
Out of the almost 4,500 Title
IV eligible colleges in America, 2,774 are 4-year
colleges and 1,721 are 2-year institutions. (source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_education_in_the_United_States) We can say
with considerable confidence that well more than 90% of these 2 and 4-year
colleges have embedded in their curriculums, a full-fledged liberal
agenda. Some of it is subtle, some of it is bold faced.
Consequently, any person who decides to become an educator in the public school
system or the colleges will have absorbed an entire liberal bias by the
time they finish four years. As a glaring example of this fact, we
have a conservative friend whose three children went through college and all
three came out liberals.
Almost every single person who gets a
college education today will have been converted from whatever they were to a
liberal mindset. Only individual thinkers are immune.
Consequently, virtually all government employees, including the teachers
that teach your children, will approach every task they take on from that
perspective, government or private.
Since the liberal mindset is so
pervasive throughout the culture, all textbooks that your teachers use to teach
your children will have built into them the liberal, international agenda
of collectivism, multi-culturalism, social justice, radical environmentalism,
political correctness and one-world-government.
Ladies and gentlemen, for all of the
years we have been writing articles about American issues, we have warned
against the centralization of power. One of America's greatest strengths
was its de-centralization of power through local, county and state
jurisdictions. It was because of this very de-centralization of power that
was and still is the impediment to growing federal power, over and above
the federal Separation of Powers doctrine instituted by the Founders in the
Constitution. As long as the local, county and state jurisdictions don't
succumb to federal power or federal bribes, federal power will be held in
check.
But alas, federal power is not being
held in check. Over the last 100 years or so, the federal government has
inserted itself deep into the fabric of each American's daily life, by a
constant barrage of bribing for votes, excessive taxation to pay for the bribes,
complicated and un-read legislation and blatantly unconstitutional rule
making. Not a day goes by that another law or rule is passed, at every
level of government. Much of the impetus for this change is coming
from wealthy foundations (i.e. Gates, Ford, Carnegie,
Rockefeller), central bankers, international non-profit
organizations (the Aspen Institute), think tanks
and liberal professors in liberal academia. Their influence
is not just pervasive and invasive, it's overwhelming.
You ask, what has all this have to do
with liberals brainwashing our children? Our reply .....
everything!
Take the new education initiative
euphemistically called "Common Core State
Standards". The propaganda on "Common
Core Standards" is that it is a state-sponsored initiative when
in fact it is totally run and developed by liberal individuals that are deeply
embedded in federally-driven K-12 curriculum. It's mission statement reads
as follows:
"The
Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what
students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to
do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the
real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for
success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the
future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the
global economy."
It sounds all warm and fuzzy until
you start reading who is behind Common Core. The list of liberal
educators, think-tank luminaries and wealthy Obama supporters tell the
tale. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation put up the lion's share of the
money to develop the standards. By some estimates the foundation donated
$100,000,000. The group that is charged with developing the
standards is Achieve, Inc. Achieve,
Inc.'s president is none other than first-class liberal Michael
Cohen. Michael Cohen is .....
"A nationally-recognized
leader in education policy and standards-based reform, Michael Cohen became
President of Achieve in 2003. He has held several key roles in education
during the past 20+ years, including Director of Education Policy at the
National Governors Association (1985-90) and Director of Planning and Policy
Development at the National Association of State Boards of Education
(1983-1985). During the Clinton Administration he served as Assistant
Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education, Special Assistant to President
Clinton for Education Policy, and Senior Advisor to U.S. Secretary of Education
Richard Riley."
But it gets better. Michael Cohen was
also a senior fellow at the Aspen Institute. So what you say? The
Aspen Institute is an international non-profit
organization created in 1950 under the name "Aspen Institute for Humanistic
Studies", to foster
values-based leadership, encouraging individuals to reflect on the ideals and
ideas that define a good society, and to provide a neutral and balanced venue
for discussing and acting on critical issues.
(http://www.aspeninstitute.org/)
Talk about a bunch of
propaganda. They presume to decide for the rest of us what is meant by a
"good society." In their definition does it include a "free"
society? Here you have a gaggle of over-educated globalists
attempting to define what a "good society" means and then take their definition
and promote it into national policy, like Common Core
Standards.
Aspen's president, one Walter
Isaacson, is a flaming liberal along with most of their Board of Directors
and yet on their website they have the gall to say that they are neutral and
non-political. Walter Isaacson, a Harvard graduate, is "...... chair emeritus of Teach for America,
which recruits recent college graduates to teach in underserved
communities. He was appointed by President Barack Obama and confirmed by
the Senate to serve as the chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors,
which oversees Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and other international
broadcasts of the United States, a position he held until 2012. He is
vice-chair of Partners for a New Beginning, a public-private group tasked with
forging ties between the United States and the Muslim world. He is on the
board of United Airlines, Tulane University, and the Overseers of Harvard
University."
Forging ties with the Muslim world, a
world that would see that every infidel living in the West, dead and the West
lying in ruins. Are they just nuts, or diabolical? You cannot
negotiate or forge ties with a person or a radical group that has the
full intent to see you in your grave by any means.
Can't you see that good 'ole
Isaacson, President and CEO of the Aspen Institute, is just one of the
guys in our local community with no federal, or international
affiliations? Hardly! But Aspen is where Michael Cohen came
from, who runs Achieve, Inc, who is establishing the standards of Common Core,
along with the testing, that 40 states, drooling over federal money being
offered, has adopted, all funded by the noble philanthropists
occupying the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. So much for the
de-centralization of government power.
That ladies and gentlemen, is
why you are letting liberal educated globalists brainwash your kids
through massive propaganda like "Common Core",
"Race to the Top" and "No Child Left
Behind", driven by internationalists who define for the rest
of us what a "good society" means and believe in and promote the
international, flawed and bankrupt agenda of collectivism,
multi-culturalism, social justice, radical environmentalism, political
correctness and one-world-government, all the result of the ever-growing
centralization of power in the federal government.
At least one school district in
Colorado (Douglas County) is saying no to Common
Core Standards and they are pretty adamant about it. They are
"..... standing on the
principle that local leaders, not Washington bureaucrats, ought to have control
over what local students are being taught. They state, "Our taxpayers, parents,
teachers and students expect the very highest and rigorous standards." The board
plans to meet or exceed those expectations "at every turn, for every student, in
every school." The best means to do that is to leave it in the hands of those
who know their students best: parents and local
leaders."
Individual,
free-minded minded parents, if they are smart, will ".....
be encouraged to leave this liberal,
globalist indoctrination that has been institutionalized in America's
public education system and find ways of
educating themselves AND THEIR CHILDREN —
educating their own individual judgments."
Further, the residents of those 40 states
that have adopted Common Cores Standards had better use whatever force they can
muster to re-direct their state back to that of independence from the federal
government, or the centralization of power in Washington DC will be
complete.
And finally ..... "By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda,
one [a government] can make a people see even heaven
as hell, or an extremely wretched life as paradise."
Adolf Hitler
The only time that
Hitler's statement has power is when the people [parents] are uneducated by
their own design and ignore their own intellect and when they refuse to
challenge government propaganda on behalf of their children. The German
people did not see through Hitler's propaganda because they failed to listen to
their own intellect. As a result of their collective negligence,
60,000,000 people died needlessly. Do 315,000,000 Americans now lie on
that same threshold, due to the centralization of power in Washington DC,
under the likes of our imperial President, Barack Hussein
Obama?
