"The Mental Dismemberment of Children"
With the creation of the Federal Department of Education there grew a massive industry in mind manipulation . In November 1992, following the election of Bill Clinton to the presidency, Marc Tucker, president of the National Center for Education and the Economy (NCEE) wrote an 18-page letter to Hillary Clinton. He excitedly outlined the opportunity the Clinton administration now had to “remold the entire American system.” He provided a detailed blueprint for a revolution to completely change our nation and its citizens by training children from a very young age to properly serve the global economy.
There was little in Tucker’s plan that had anything to do with teaching how to read, write, or calculate. That wasn’t important. Instead it was a plan to control the children’s knowledge base to fit Tucker’s vision of creating the proper global citizen cog. Today, Tucker’s proposal made to Hillary Clinton that fateful day is completely in place.
It started with Goals 2000, designed to create a new system of standards that no longer taught our American system of free enterprise and limited government. In fact, it taught them that such ideas were dangerous and selfish. Then came School-to-Work, which focused on job training rather then academics. It was all glued together by a new method of psychological control called “Outcome based Education.” OBE created a computer database on every child and focused on mental, psychological, and behavioral evaluations. The databases were made available to the schools, the government, and future employers. Teachers were designated as counselors to decide if problem children needed drugs to control their behavior. Ritalin overuse was born. A system called “Transition” was employed that featured small groups of children sharing their thoughts, feelings, and opinions. Transition contains no academic significance whatsoever. It contains tactics such as role playing. Its purpose is to strip-search the students for their ideas and attitudes so that a special personal curriculum can be created to assure those attitudes, such as love of family or country, for example, can be systematically deleted. It slowly trains them to not question authority.
Today, the new term is Common Core.
It simply encompasses all of these forerunners in the plan to remold American education, and ultimately change American culture by dictating the thought and belief process of its citizens. The indoctrination of the children is now in full swing.
In 2011, the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), another private group contracting with the Department of Education, advocated the “Whole Child Approach,” saying whole-child education is the expansion of education beyond just learning reading, writing, and arithmetic to include student health, community engagement, and social-emotional learning (SEL). The ASCD report goes on to explain that “SEL focuses on feelings, emotions, and self-reflection, leading to inclusion of social responsibility and social justice initiatives.”
The Department of Education is now planning to use the SEL process to rate schools on their “nonacademic” factors through its new initiative called the “Every Student Succeeds Act” (ESSA) that is to be enforced in the 2017-1018 school year.
The bottom line for all of this mumbo-jumbo is that children have been designated to be patients that are sick and in dire need of cure. If they believe they are unique individuals, if they love their families, believe their nation is a bastion of freedom, love God, etc., then they are deemed unhealthy, deluded, and in urgent need of care.
The “curriculum” that now surrounds them drills home the need to openly seek to change the world in areas such as healthcare, climate regulation, and “sexual politics.” Children are graded on their activism, volunteerism, and commitment to community rather than academic knowledge. Children are taught that only whites can be racist because racism is power and only whites have power. American civics is ignored. Our founding ideas are dismissed as organized slavery controlled by the rich. Capitalism is evil. Wealth must be destroyed. Government control is the answer to all questions. These things, the children are assured, are the proper attitudes, values, and beliefs. And it is their duty as citizens of the world to not only promote and carry out such ideas, but to consider any contrarian thoughts as evil, and to be stopped at all costs. These are the children of today.
