EDUCATION IN AMERICA - PART 6       
Wednesday, March 31 , 2004

In, 1968, the U.N.’s program for global education advanced. UNESCO created the International Baccalaureate Organization, an NGO (non-governmental organization) in Geneva, Switzerland. This IB organization is supplying curriculum to schools around the world. Actually, curriculum for 33,000 teachers is being provided in 1, 500 schools around the globe. But get this, 55 of the schools are middle schools in the Washington, D.C. area.

UNESCO, according to Henry Lamb, Director of Sovereignty International, states that the IB curriculum promotes human rights, social justice, sustainable development, population, health, environmental, and immigration concerns.

George Walker, IB’s director general in Geneva had this to say: “We’re living on a planet that is becoming exhausted. The program remains committed to changing children’s values so they think globally rather than in parochial national terms from their own country’s viewpoint.” I’m sure Mr. Walker has in mind for the IB program under the U.N. to control worldwide education according to their anti-Christian terms.  Jeanne Geizer, a mother in Reston, Virginia, wrote these words to a local newspaper: “Administrators do not tell you that the current IB program for ages 3 through 12 promises socialism, disarmament, radical environmentalism, and moral relativism, while attempting to undermine Christian religious values and national sovereignty.”

The Center for Civic Education (CCE) authorized by Congress to create the New Civic as in HR1078 writes that the curriculum for civics education in the U.S. States: “In the past century, the civic mission of schools was education for democracy in a sovereign state. In this century, by contrast, education will become everywhere more global. And we ought to improve our curricular frame works and standards for a world transformed by globally accepted and internationally transcendent principles.

The New Civics textbook, “We The People: The Citizens and the Constitution,” written by CCE exposes that history has been replaced with attitudes on multiculturalism and global thinking. U.N. priorities such as social justice, environmental protection, and sustainable development as in the U.N. Declaration on Human Rights are taught to our children.

Dr. D. L. Cuddy of Raleigh, N.C. of whom I have great respect, recently reported in an article entitled, “World Citizenship On The Road To World Government,” that in our “No Child Left Behind” program, the U.S. Secretary of Education, Rod Paige, entered into a contact with the Center for Civic Education (CCE) and that CCE is an INGO (United Nations International Non-governmental Organization). Dr. Cuddy stated: The New Civics – “We The People: The Citizens And The Constitution” is authorized for U.S. schools.”

This partnership with UNESCO, friends can only weaken U.S. Sovereignty and lead to internationalism. It must be stopped and there are some in Congress who are realizing that the true American Civics and the principles of Jefferson, Adams, Madison, and Franklin must be preserved.
