EDUCATION IN AMERICA - PART 7     
Thursday, April 1, 2004

Children are no longer being taught why the U.S. of America became the most powerful nation on Earth. Children are not learning the difference between capitalism and socialism. They are being taught that the U.S. is a terrorist country, that the U.S. produces 25% of the world polution and that the Third World countries are poor because of the greed of the U.S.

Tommy Thompson, the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, has rebuked the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for providing documents that promote sex and abortion as the rights of children. (These are the results of the U.N. Treaty on the Rights of the Child). This has been the belief and action of UNESCO for years and it was well known at all the U.N. Conferences that I attended.

Secretary Thompson told UNESCO that they did not have the right to change national legislation and said, “UNESCO has gone beyond its’ ‘mandate and expertise’ by advocating that governments should make abortion legal, safe, and affordable and abortion services available to the full extent under their existing laws, and that national legislators should remove legal restrictions to access abortion.”

Secretary Thompson claimed UNESCO was wrong in their assessment of “child and adolescent rights” and that this approach was “fundamentally flawed” because there was no role in their perspective for
parents and family.

His words are encouraging but the U.S.’s relationship with the United Nations’
continues stronger than ever, especially in education. Secretary Thompson reprimands UNESCO and the administration, rebukes the U.N. for not responding to terroristic dictatorships properly, while at the same time, the U.N. has an inroad in designing educational curriculum for America’s
children to become global citizens.

Remember, the U.S. Department of Education has awarded its first $1.2 million grant to implement the U.N.’s International Baccalaureate (IB) program into U.S. schools.

Not only will children not be able to read their diploma, but also their diploma will have lost its meaning. Education needed for college graduation or the work place will have been devalued.

Children will not be taught about “unalienable rights”, “under God”, in our Pledge of Allegiance or “In God We Trust.” Gone will be the principles upon which our Founding Fathers stood to write our incredible U. S. Constitution.

America’s political freedoms are based on Christian principles. It will take Christian faith to keep our political freedoms secure. The war against Christianity within our government, by our educational institutions and the media is a grave threat to our survival as a free nation.
