"Teaching
is a self-sacrificing profession. Teachers are under appreciated,
overworked and underpaid. But the educational establishment is another
matter. It ties the hands of good teachers as it dumbs down our
children." - Steve Eastman

“How many parents … send their children
to school so central planners can mold them into functionally
illiterate cogs in a centrally planned machine, having just enough
knowledge to do their preassigned task? How will such cogs be able to
think critically, much less sustain liberty and the American experiment?
The short answer is that they will not – and that is the point.” – The Authors
Utopian dictators like Stalin, Hitler,
Pol Pot and Mao are criminals – genocidal psychopaths who have killed
more human beings in the last hundred years than any other ideologues in
history. They don't limit their murder to individuals, but to entire
nations.
In the United States another form of
utopians, the "progressives," have tried to destroy traditional America
by strategically dumbing down her people. America's future is being
crippled on purpose in order to fundamentally transform the nation, its
values and its system of government. Laid out a century ago by
progressive luminary John Dewey, the fruits of his schemes are plain to
see today. Dewey got rid of the traditional intensive phonics method of
instruction and imposed a "look-say," "sight" or "whole-word" method
that forces children to read English as if it were Chinese. The method
is widely used in today's public schools, which is a major reason there
are so many failing public schools that cannot teach children the
basics. This can only be considered a blatant form of child abuse.
American author and veteran educator
Samuel Blumenfeld and journalist Alex Newman have taken on the public
education establishment as never before and exposed it for the de facto
criminal enterprise it is.
"Crimes of the Educators" reveals how the
architects of America's public school disaster implemented a plan to
socialize the United States by knowingly and willingly dumbing down the
population, a mission now closer to success than ever as the Obama
administration works relentlessly to nationalize K-12 schooling with
Common Core.
The whole-word method of teaching
children to read – introduced by John Dewey and colleagues in the early
20th century and which permeates Common Core – is a significant cause of
dyslexia among students. Public education's war against religion, the
"great American math disaster," promotion of death education and the
government's plan to lower standards for all so that "no one is left
behind" are destroying the logic, reasoning and overall educational
prowess of America's next generation.
According to the Program for International Student Assessment, which collects test results from 65 countries for its rankings:
- In reading, students in 19 other locales scored higher than U.S. students
- In science, 22 education systems scored above the U.S.
- In mathematics, 29 nations and other jurisdictions outperformed the United States
Journalist Henry Mencken said it best in
1924 when he wrote that the aim of public education is "to reduce as
many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a
standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality."
It is time to hold the Department of Education accountable for the crimes of the educators.
