Subject: What Johnny Learns at School.
[Note: Judge Robert Bork in wrote, in Slouching Toward Gomorrah, "Now,
however, the educational system has become the weapon of choice for modern
liberals in their project of dismantling American culture." This use of
schools in the dismantling of our culture began with the very beginnings of
our communist style collectivist system of education, with Horace Mann, and
the creation of teacher colleges. In recent decades the intensity of the
attack has been multiplied. Listen to what those who educate our teachers
have to say: "Formal education carried on subversively, can
be in the forefront of building a new moral order... it provides some
measure of the
physical and social isolation necessary for the incubation process."
(Roberta T. Ash; "Durkheim's Moral Education Reconsidered: Toward the
Creation of a Counterculture". In SCHOOL REVIEW, November, 1971, p. 132) -
"... our efforts as educators must not be directed to restoring the past
order of morality but to participating in creating a new one... when it is
shed there will be a new moral order to take it's place... a counterculture
that will burst through the surface." (Roberta T. Ash;
"Durkheim's Moral Education Reconsidered: Toward the Creation of a
Counterculture". In SCHOOL REVIEW, November, 1971, p. 112) - "....teachers
who conform to the traditional institutional mode are out of place. They
might find fulfillment as tap-dance instructors, or guards in maximum
security prisons or proprietors of reducing salons, or agents of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation - - but they damage teaching, children, and
themselves by staying in the classroom." (NEA book, Schools For the 70's
And Beyond). Just what does our "modern" education system support?
"Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism and every American
public school is a school of humanism. What can the theistic Sunday-schools,
meeting for an hour once a week, and teaching only a fraction of the
children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic teaching?
" -C. F. Potter (a signer of the "Humanist Manifesto") Humanism, A New
Religion (1930). The answer I believe, does not lie in reforming the
system, or vouchers (he who takes public money will live under government
rule because of it), or such schemes as that, ideally it lies in removing
your children from the public indoctrination centers, lacking that we MUST
counter the indoctrination, teach your children, take the time, some time,
any time, every day, to teach your children what is right. Get them into a
good Bible believing and teaching Church. Here is a good book that will
open your eyes on the subject, one of a number of good books: None Dare
Call It Education by John A. Stormer, published by Liberty Bell Press,
Florissant, Missouri. John Stormer short bio states -
..a researcher, writer, school superintendent and pastor. It is a must read
for all. - Tony]

There was a time, let's call them the good old days, when parents could
send their little children off to school with full confidence they would be
in good hands. Sadly, the good old days are gone.
It is appropriate that most of the criticism of government schools deals
with academic failure. But that is only half the wretched story. Contrary to
what many parents think, most of those responsible for the education of our
children are not socially and politically neutral. They are ideologues with
an agenda.
While a good case could be made to say we are on the verge of being overrun
by an avalanche of academic ignorance, it would not be accurate to say our
kids are graduating empty headed. Perhaps it's time for another updated
review of some of the important things our children are learning in
government school classrooms.
While Johnny and Jill may not be learning how to read, they are learning
that: teachers are underpaid [good teachers are underpaid. CLMsr.] , God is
irrelevant, big business is ruining the environment, the Bible says driving
an SUV is a sin, rewards should be based on need rather than performance,
bisexual individuals are under the command of unstable genes, the Alamo was
a great Mexican victory, society rather than the individual is responsible
for crime, saving the sucker fish is more important than saving farmers,
teachers' pay should be doubled, a diversity of cultures and languages is
America's strength, Thomas Jefferson was a racist, two plus two equals
whatever, competition is destructive, the right to be wrong makes wrong
right, the Boy Scouts are a hate group, Ronald Reagan is responsible for the
disappearance of the dinosaurs, the Catholic Church is a hate group,
defending yourself promotes violence, the government is the source from
which all blessings flow, Southern Baptists are a hate group, high taxes are
good for America, equality is more important than excellence, carbon dioxide
is poisoning the world, cops hate black people, putting a condom on a
cucumber is child's play, the Salvation Army is a hate group, the
Constitution is obsolete, God is a homophobe, porpoises are smarter than
people, the Constitution requires the government to censor religious speech,
taxes are the same as charitable contributions, boys and girls are exactly
the same except girls are better, the toleration of evil is a virtue, moral
discernment is a hate crime, cutting taxes is like stealing from poor
people, American Indians would not have polluted the environment even if
they had known how, George Washington was a racist, rich people enjoy
stomping on poor people, the condom is mightier than the conscience,
Christopher Columbus infected the natives with syphilis, one person's
opinion is as good as any other, the American Constitution was written by
racists and sexists, Ronald Reagan is responsible for the spread of AIDS,
teachers should be paid as much as NFL quarterbacks, sex between consenting
children is inevitable, all sexual orientations are created equal, religious
people are bigots, in the beginning there was a big explosion, a family is
any collection of oddballs living under one roof, the right to kill babies
is in the Constitution, it is un-American to have more than someone else
does, the only hope of the world is for workers everywhere to unite, and it
is the constitutional responsibility of government to provide jobs, housing,
clothing, condoms, hot lunches, living wages, family leave, child care and
band-aids to all citizens.
It is little wonder that more and more parents are frightened and
frustrated as they watch their children grow away from them and become like
strangers, full of strange ideas.
It is time to face the wretched reality that the American classroom has
been appropriated by liberal ideologues. Their goal is to strip away all
vestiges of religion, and fill the vulnerable psyches of children with the
secular mind-sets, ideas and philosophies that will resonate with a
hedonistic and socialistic society.
One answer to the problem of education in America is school choice. A
better answer is complete privatization, with a high wall of separation
between state and education. This will subject schools to that tried and
true, all-American, marketplace competition, which demands results, instills
discipline and accountability, relentlessly drives toward excellence, and
puts customers (parents and children) first.
It is time to return to parents' control over the education and
"upbringing" of their own children. When and by what authority did the
government take charge of the children? Whose children are they, anyway, and
why, in the land of the free and the brave, has it become necessary to ask
such a question?
