H.R. 1, S. 1 - NO AMERICAN LEFT ALONE
THE BUSH/KENNEDY EDUCATION (?) PLAN
or NO AMERICAN LEFT ALONE!
President Bush's "No Child Left Behind" could be referred to as "No
American Left Alone" since what we are looking at is what the National
Alliance of Business which supports "planned economy" refers to as
Kindergarten through Age 80 Education/Training. This is basically the
United Nations Lifelong
Learning/Brainwashing Agenda under the umbrella of what will eventually be
"unelected" school and community councils which will make all decisions for
us at the local level. Former Senator Bill Bradley, N.J., called for this
on one of the Sunday morning talk shows about four years ago. The
Governors very recently at their NGA conference discussed the use of
unelected (politically-correct?) citizens to police our communities. This
is so unbelievable I find it hard to even write about it.
Although Pres. Bush, according to a Washington Times article by Bill
Sammon, 1/9/02, said in regard to the education bill he signed that
"Parents will have more information about the schools and more say in how
their children are educated..from this day forward, all students will have
a better chance to learn, to excel and to live out their dreams." Pardon
me, but this is a plain lie, and a lie embraced by Mass. Senator Ted
Kennedy, and others supporting this legislation as well.
How can parents have a say in how their children are educated when the
federal government is mandating testing of children's attitudes and
values? (60% of the test items on National Assessment of Educational
Progress - NAEP are attitudinal.) Bush's mandate for testing will of
course call for a mandated federal curriculum since one can't test what one
hasn't taught. What tiny bit of local control remained prior to this
legislation will be swept away. School superintendents and good teachers
are already complaining about having lost control.
Even The New York Times has problems with Leave No Child Behind. It
bragged that the more than 1000-page giant education bill will
"dramatically extend the federal role in public education" and, indeed, is
"a breathtaking intrusion of the federal government on states' control of
education."
This legislation, which passed 381-41 in the House and 87-10 in the Senate,
is accompanied by the largest dollar increase ever in federal education
aid. Education Week, 1/9/02, describes the No Child Left Behind Act as
follows: "The mega-measure is accompanied by the largest dollar increase
ever in federal education aid. The Department of Education's overall
budget will rise by $6.7 billion in fiscal 2002, to nearly $49 billion."
(emp. added)
The legislation, although pretending to terminate the highly controversial
Goals 2000 and the school-to-work (STW) legislation passed in the nineties
under President Clinton and initiated in the eighties under Presidents
Reagan and Bush, Sr.,actually continues the totalitarian agenda since all
states have implemented the requirements of Goals 2000 and STW. Goals 2000
was originally called America 2000 under former President Bush who in
addition called for implementing the Soviet system of work force training
in 1991 (See Congressional Record). This STW system calls for quotas for
doctors, lawyers, janitors, etc. and allows no freedom of choice for
children or adults.
Minnesota and Indiana are two states that mandate children choose
job/career track in 8th grade! Just like Cuba or any other
communist/socialist country. How accurate the National Alliance of
Business has been to refer to this agenda as Kindergarten through Age 80!
The system is the UN's lifelong learning (brainwashing) system called for
by Lenin (a.k.a. international socialism) and is the "seamless web"
referred
to by Marc Tucker of the Carnegie Corporation.
1 of 5
Very simply, such a communist system (Lenin's world government) can only be
implemented when the following components have been put in place. Very
sadly, to say the least, most, if not all of the following actions have
taken place. They are included in my book The Deliberate Dumbing Down
of America...a chronological paper trail.
1. CONTROL OF EDUCATION--
Chairman of the Communist Party, U.S.A., 1932, William Foster, in his book
Toward a Soviet America, called for a U.S. Dept. of Education, the teaching
of evolution, elimination of nationalism and religion in schools, the
teaching of internationalism, and for the use the Pavlovian method (direct
instruction)on the
students, etc., etc..
Note: School choice is a Trojan Horse. The only requirement left to
implement school choice is tuition tax credits or vouchers which will take
over the private sector. If those choice proposals do not fly in
legislatures or in Congress, federally-funded charter schools will be used,
as is already the case in many states, to implement the school to work
planned economic system.
2. CONTROL OF ECONOMY--
The planned economy will come to us through school to work legislation.
There will be quotas for jobs; no upward mobility for children. Students
must select their careers by 8th grade. It is the same as the Cuban
system. STW is implemented in all states. This is failed elitist system
which brought the Soviet Union down but which is still being used
worldwide. And, now our Congress has voted to implement this failed
system.
How deliberately dumbed down our Congress seems to be! They don't even
know
what form of government and economy we are supposed to have.
Of interest is that Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Richard Cheney,
spoke eloquently, prior to the election, in opposition to the STW agenda
being implemented in the United States. How sad that her
advice was not sought or listened to in regard to this most controversial
initiative which will result in changing our economic and political system.
3. CONTROL OF CHURCHES AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS--
The Washington Post has referred to President Bush's faith-based initiative
as "communitarianism" which is defined in most dictionaries as "a
communistic form of government." The camel's nose is under the tent
right now with Bush using/funding churches to "tutor" students in failing
public schools. Churches which accept federal monies will be controlled by
the government as in fascist/communist countries. The same federal control
applies to private schools or homeschooling families who accept one penny
of federal money.
4. CONTROL OF NATION THROUGH UNELECTED COUNCILS AND DROPPING OF COUNTY,
STATE, NATIONAL BORDERS--
This control takes place through regional government which was was
referred
to by a communist writer for Daily World as the Soviet system that has
"worked so well in the Soviet Union!" Regional government is being
implemented worldwide. The European Community is a good example of a major
region being set up for the world management system (Lenin's international
socialism).
5. CONTROL OF PHYSICAL/MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM--
The government will direct and fund health care through the schools (school
based clinics for all children regardless of
income). Hilary's health
care system (socialized medicine) is being implemented without a whimper
from those who fought its implementtion. This seamless web includes all
services under the umbrella of the school district (birth through death).
It used to be called "community education". (See below.)
6. CONTROL OF LOCAL POLICING-
This will be accomplished through Community Oriented Policing System
(COPS) and through unelected community education councils. (Council is
defined as a "soviet" in many dictionaries.) The recently passed Patriot
Act will enforce this totalitarian agenda should citizens resist. This
seamless web of services used to be called Community Education but can now
be identified by the following labels:
site-based or school-based management, regionalism, community whatever,
lifelong learning, sustainable development, and communitarianism).
Community
Education was initiated in Michigan (Mott Foundation) and in Utah in the
forties. An internationa conference entitled "Community Schools and
Education Policy in Transition Countries During the 21st Century" was held
October 9-13, 2000, in Omsk (Siberia) Russia. The goal was "to establish
partnership between government education departments and the community
school movement"(taken from Russian URL on Community Education.) Community
Educator, out of Alaska, in the early 1970s at a Community Education
conference in
Washington, D.C., defined community education as the Chinese Communist
system. (For those interested in this subject, education researchers are in
possession of community education documents dating back at least sixty
years, and may be contacted through Iserbyt. Deliberate Dumbing Down of
America also carries several important entries on Community Education.)
7. CONTROL OF LAND--
Environmental legislation, etc. implements controls on the right to own
and use property as one wishes.
8. CONTROL OF BEHAVIOR USING SKINNERIAN/PAVLOVIAN--
This is stimulus-response-stimulus dog/animal training. It has recently
been been referred to as the Direct Instruction method, which is failed
OBE
mastery learning. Direct Instruction (same as mastery learning) is now
being used to teach reading and math and is especially necessary for
workforce training for dumbed down "third world" skills. Skinner said "I
could make a pigeon a high achiever by reinforcing it on a proper
schedule."
Following this reinforcement method, teachers are forced to read from a
script, use hand signals as in dog training, clap their hands and, pop
candies in students' mouths when they get the correct answer.
President Bush is mandating this method in his legislation which calls for
retraining teachers to use "scientific research based" teaching methods.
Not only is above reward and punishment method being used in the schools,
one sees its use in our communities with citizens who conform to the
government agenda receiving rewards and those who resist being ignored,
isolated or punished.
CHRONOLOGICAL RECORD
found in
The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America...A Chronological Paper Trail:
1930s:
Chamber of Commerce plans for UN, regional government, school vouchers,
etc.
1932:
William Foster, Chairman of the United States Communist Party, has his
book, Toward a Soviet America published. It calls for everything that has
since been implemented in our nation's schools,
including U.S. Dept. of Education.
1934:
Carnegie Corp. plans to change America's free economic system to
socialism/collectivism in the New Order. They pilot an 8-Year Study using
Outcome-based Education.
1942:
Time Magazine publishes an article revealing plans for the Federal Council
of Churches to implement world government.
1945:
The United Nations is created by a majority of communists. Alger Hiss and
his close friend, Canadian General and psychiatrist Brock Chishol, made
statements calling for using the schools (retraining the teachers) to get
rid of the conscience (right and wrong).
3 of 5
1953:
Congress set up the Congressional Investigation of Tax-exempt Foundations.
Gaither, President of the Ford Foundation, tells Norman Dodd that
foundations receive directions from White House in regard to using
tax-exempt monies to change America so that it can be comfortably merged
with the Soviet Union.
1958:
Eisenhower signs the first U.S.-Soviet agreements.
1965:
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act moved our pre-1960 excellent
education system from academics to behavior modification and values
destruction (beginning of OBE/Skinner method).
1978:
The U.S. Department of Education was created.
1981:
Outcome Based Education (new label for failed mastery learning) is
funded
and implemented across the nation. (D.I. is the new label for failed
mastery learning/OBE. Mastery learning, piloted in Chicago, resulted in
18,000 (almost one half) of Chicago's inner city students in the 1980
freshman class not graduating.
1982:
President Reagan scheduled to meet with the developer of major Skinnerian
mastery learning
program in the Bronx, N.Y.
1981:
President Reagan implements public/private (corporate fascist)
partnerships by creating the President's Task Force on Private Sector
Initiatives.
1984:
The federally-funded paper entitled "Shamanistic Rituals in Effective
Schools" by sociologist Brian
Rowan, Spady's closest associate was presented at the annual meeting of the
American Educational Research Association. It discusses conning inner city
parents into believing their children are doing well by using "effective
school Research" (Pavlovian/Skinnerian ML/DI: teach to the test and
manipulation of demographic statistics, etc.)
Washington Post article entitled "Industrial Policy Urged for GOP" was
published May 14, 1984. This article explained involvement of leading
Republicans in "advocating Republicans shed some of their deep-rooted
antipathy to a planned economy."
1985:
U.S.-Soviet (Reagan-Gorbachev) and Carnegie-Soviet Education Agreements
merged the two nations' education systems and set in motion a planned
economy.
80s and 90s:
These were years of involvement of Secretaries of Education, Bell, Bennett
and Alexander, and President George Bush, Sr. in America 2000. Clinton
continued America 2000, implemented by Secretary Riley, under the new name,
Goals 2000.
1990s:
Carnegie Corp.'s Marc Tucker, governors, corporations, etc. implemented
Goals 2000 lifelong learning out of UN and Soviet-style STW across country
during nineties.
2001:
President George Bush, Jr., embraced by Senator Ted Kennedy, MA and
Congressman George Miller, CA, call for passage of H.R. 1, S. 1, which
completes a socialist takeover. This is the final nail in the coffin. Has
anyone looked inside to see who is being buried?
No longer can we who love America and what she stands for say "If we don't
do something, such and such will happen." We are now obliged to say
"international socialism has happened and the United States is a major
player in this unthinkable agenda." Isn't this tragic? Americans were
bamboozled when Soviet Union fell apart, believing communism was dead, when
in fact it simply leaped across the oceans.
We were taken through what I refer to as The Four-Prong Fork, a most
diabolical undertaking:
4 of 5
1. GRADUALISM (Put a frog in cold water, heat it up gradually and he stays
until he's dead). The top change agents at the UN, federal government and
state government levels, including non-governmental persons and entities,
have been at this game for over one hundred years.
2. SEMANTIC DECEPTION (This is the use of familiar, nice sounding terms,
which have one meaning to good Americans and entirely different meaning to
"change agents"). Ex: Basic skills used to mean 3R's; now it means
believing in tolerance of all behavior; the need to move to an
international system; the need for a new Constitution; the need for a new
economic system.
3. HEGELIAN DIALECTIC: Create a problem; people scream; impose solution;
people embrace "it", not realizing they have been taken to the cleaners
through the deliberate creation of a problem. Ex: Create high school
budgets which creates high property taxes which causes people to have to
sell their houses and move. Then propose a solution to move funding of
education from local to state level; the people embrace the idea since it
lowers their property tax. However, locals have just lost all their
control of schools to state, federal, and the international level. Also
dialectic includes moving from sound morals and values to situational
ethics through constant discussion using group process. Pit "It's wrong to
lie" against "It's OK to lie" and nearly all agree that lying is wrong. But
through discussion and presentation of situations calling for compromise,
one arrives at "Sometimes it's OK to lie". Then eventually, one comes to
the realization it is always OK to lie, or kill, or steal, or do anything
else that makes one feel good.
4. BILLIONS OF TAX DOLLARS are spent on social engineering. Tax money is
not spent on academic education as most people believe.
The only solution which has the remotest possibility of saving our country,
outside of getting out of the United Nations, is to throw out all rascals
who voted for this education legislation in the next elections. The litmus
test for candidates running for Congress should be "will they work to
abolish the U.S. Dept. of Education and break up that cozy,
in-the-same-bed, relationship it shares with the Department of Labor and
the UN?"
Choice proposals are traps supported by multinational corporations (David
Rockefeller, etc., and by top education union officials - not teachers-
who have no allegiance to the USA and care nothing for our children's
upward mobility or America itself.) Education must be returned to the
local level, bypassing even state education agencies which take their
orders from and receive between 60 and 80% of their operational budgets
from the federal government.
Education must be restored to its state of excellence prior to 1960 - the
best education system in the world. This can be done, and must be done, if
our children are going to have upward mobility and if America is going to
survive as a free country.
My book is into its third printing in two years. Barnes & Noble.com had it
ranked #2 in terms of sales out of 1290 books in its category
of"educational change" (May 2001)
