The following is the first of a series of articles, which we had posted in our original category, ‘Village of the Damned‘ in the first generation of our sister site, Federal Observer. As time goes on, we shall be publishing many more columns from our archives. Watch the progression – or was it ‘regression’? ~ Ed.
September 21, 2003 ~ A very good book, written in 1979, exposes our public indoctrination centers (public Schools) for what they really are – agents of change (their own term for themselves). The book extensively quotes the NEA, educators, and authors that have been or are influential in molding teaching goals and philosophy…, ‘Change agents in the school’s: ‘Destroy Your Children – Betray Your Country’.
The following are from those who teach our Teachers, and/or who write the material that teaches our teachers.
Go figure… the cover was in Red!
“The basic goal of education is change – – human change in desirable directions…. This issue…. focuses attention upon the school as a change-agent – – and the specific focus is on changing people.” ~ (Harold D. Drummond: ”Leadership for Human Change”. In EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP, December, 1964, p. 147)
“…the goal of education must be to develop individuals who are open to change… The goal of education must be to develop a society in which people can live more comfortably with change than with rigidity. In the coming world the capacity to face the new appropriately is more important than the ability to know and repeat the old.” ~ (Op. Cit; EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP, December, 1964, p. 148)
Editor’s Note: Rigidity? He must mean to eliminate the old paths:
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.” ~ Jeremiah 6:16
“… 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)
“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)
“….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
“Development of a new kind of elementary school teacher who… engages in teaching as a clinical practice… and functions as a responsible agent of social change.”
The above quotation was the first major goal identified in the Feasibility Study: Behavioral Science Teacher Education Program, commonly known as the B STEP program published with federal funds by Michigan State University, January, 1970.
This is what our teachers are being taught, and MUCH more. How to disguise what they are teaching by changing definitions of terms so that certain programs seen innocuous. How to keep parents out of the textbook and so on. They are being conditioned to be change agents, to, in their own words, “unfreeze the child from their Judeao-Christian morals and ethics, instill different morals and ethics, and refreeze them“.
Note the wording in the above quotes:
“change agents, comfortable with change, new moral order, subversively, physical and social isolation necessary for the incubation process, counterculture“.
Need there be any more said?
