EDUCATION
IN AMERICA - PART II The family is the basic unit of society – parents have the responsibility and the right to educate their children. In a totalitarian state, the family is not a priority in education. In an elitist government, social educators insist, “government knows best.” Public education in America for the most part is a national failure and embarrassment regardless of the enormous amount of money being poured into it. 33% more money per student was spent in the 1990’s compared to 1980’s. The drop out rate is over 30% and many who graduate can’t read their diploma and of those who go into the University system, 50% need remedial education. In the video, “The Guiding Hand”, a 20 minute tape on the Clinton’s influence on education in Arkansas, the Governor’s school students, who are supposedly the “cream of the crop”, are told in regard to what they are being taught…when you get home, your parents, pastor or friends may not understand you, but that is alright – you are of the elite. You have been exposed to thought,” The thought they were exposed to was death, homosexuality, abortion, and anti-God propaganda. My heart broke recently when I read in the USA today, Thursday, March 18th, of a 13-year-old boy who shot and killed himself in front of the other students at Cresent, Junior-Senior High in Joyce, Washington. Where did he get such an idea? A child in the eight grade should be happy looking to a bright future. Grief counselors were brought in for the other children. Do you think God and prayer were allowed as part of the children’s counseling? Mostly likely, no! Remember Columbine? God and prayer were put down as not being relevant. I invited in 1993 for a Family Concern’s Conference, Anita Hoge, the courageous mother from Pennsylvania and about whom the book “Educating for the New World Order” was written. She shared that children entering school in the 90’s would be the “first recipients of the computerized National Data System of Elementary and Secondary Education”, brought on in 1988, and which was built around social security numbers, political leanings, family financial and personal backgrounds data, all couched in terms of “demographic research” and “academic testing”. Schools, already being set up with laboratories complete with school based clinics could one day be used to “inflict a kind of computerized slavery on every man, woman, and child in America.” You have just listened to part 2 of a five part series; leading up to the Center for Civics Education (CCE) in America, another name for global education.
