The history of the U . S . De-
partment of Education and its
predecessor the U .S . Office of
U Education, is a history of re-
peated injuries and usurpation
of an individual's constitutional
rights, all having as a direct ob-
jective the establishment of an
international/global (UNESCO)
• tyranny over the people's free-
• dom of thought and right to lit-
eracy . Also challenged by the
educational tyrants are individ-
• ual rights to choose their own
• employment ; the globalists
would impose the socialist con-
cept of "full employment"
• sults across state borders and to
• through quotas for certain jobs .
Their agenda is presently being
pursued by the U .S. Depart-
ments of Education and Labor
in collusion with private indus-
try, liberal tax-exempt founda-
tions, and public schools under
the deceptive labels : "magnet
schools," "schools of choice,"
and "apprenticeships ." _ turing, thus eliminating any
The U .S . Department of Edu-
cation's abuses continue :
1-The usurpation of private
sector rights (textbook test pub-
lishers) by establishing an ille-
gal transmission belt for feder-
ally-developed programs (Na-
tional Diffusion Network NDN)
to remediate "Politically Incor-
rect" attitudes and values diag-
nosed through the use of illegal-
ly funded and developed test/
assessments (National Assess-
ment of Educational Progress -
NAEP) ;
2-AMERICA 2000's support
for UNESCO's "birth through
death" Lifelong Learning/Com-
munity Re-educational concept
which places all social and rec-
reational services for all ages un-
der the umbrella of the school
district, i .e., school-based clin-
ics, etc . which is in conflict with
traditional "for profit" private
medical, dental and mental
health services, recreational ser-
vices, and which undermines
family values and control ;
3-support for concepts in
education which are alien to our
system of government, such as
non-competitive cooperative
learning, substitution of global
education for American history,
Leninist dialectical (no-right, no-
wrong) critical thinking educa-
tion, and unconstitutional man-
dated community service at
state-approved sites in order to
:' graduate (similar to communist
work/study programs) ;
4-support for education
which is destructive of tradi-
tional American values and
morals, i.e., UNESCO-promoted
"health" education, citizenship
and character (values) educa-
tion, etc., all of which reflect
the tenets spelled out in the
"Man is God" Humanist Mani-
festo ;
5-allowed Soviet communist
educatorsto contribute to de-
velopment of American educa-
tional curricula and continues
to do so without regard to offi-
cial breakup of the Soviet Union
and the lapsing in December
(c) The American Research Foundation . Inc_
tion Treaty;
6-responsible for mental,
physical, and spiritual-moral
damage to innocent children
Y
through use of Skinnerian/Pav-
lovian rat lab behavior modifi-
cation and o erant conditioning
techniques Mastery Learning/
Outcome-based Education)
which is the principal common
thread running through all
America 2000 education pro-
posals ;
7-invasion of privacy of chil-
dren and their families by allow-
ing the illegal transfer of indi-
vidual NEAP attitudinal test re-
the federal government for the
purpose of development of re-
medial programs to bring about
"politically correct" attitudes .
and values ;
8-allowed commingling of
private, public, and foreign
moneys for educational restruc-
form of accountability to the
taxpayers.
9-ignored the Protection of
Pupil Rights Amendment (fed-
eral law) and complaints of par-
ents and teachers regarding the
damaging effects of secular-
humanist-occult curricula and
strategies designed to alter chil-
dren's attitudes, values, and
beliefs ;
10 - refused to promote the
use of systematic phonics to
teach reading, while funding .
look-say/whole language meth-
ods of reading and writing in-
struction, which are responsible
for ever-rising levels of illit-
eracy, causing crimes, jobless-
ness, and family disintegration ;
11 - funded "no-right - no-
wrong" drug, alcohol and sex
education programs which key
"change agent" educators admit
are intended to promote secu-
lar-humanistic values and atti-
tudes and which have resulted
in an increase in use of drugs and
alcohol and in sexual permis-,
siveness, abortions, and AIDS ;
12 - continues to demand
more money year after year
from a disgusted and tax weary
people for destroying our once
worthy system of education
(1991 kindergarten through high
school costs rose to $348 billion
while test scores continued their
decline and are at lowest level
ever) . I
When such a long list of ma-
jor educational abuses has a his-
tory of causing serious societal,
moral, and spiritual problems
for unsuspecting students, the
parents have the duty to throw
off the yoke of the educational
tyranny . Americans must de-
mand public accountability from
the educational establishment
and seek new safeguards to pro-
tect the religious beliefs, to pro-
mote the personal integrity, and
to encourage the individual re-
sponsibility of each student .
