[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]


What Johnny learns at school

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, 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?

"Traditionally, organized education in the Western world was
Church education.  It could hardly be otherwise when the
education of children was primarily study of the Word and
the ways of God.  Even in the Protestant countries, where
there was a less close identification of Church and State,
the basis of education was largely the Bible, and its chief
purpose inculcation of piety..."
