The enemies of Liberty understand the
importance of education, and that is why they seek to compromise it, and
distort it.
“When an
opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say,
"Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your
descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else
but this new community.” ― Adolf Hitler
“Impersonal
forces over which we have almost no control seem to be pushing us all in the
direction of the Brave New Worldian nightmare; and this impersonal pushing is
being consciously accelerated by representatives of commercial and political
organizations who have developed a number of new techniques for manipulating in
the interest of some minority, the thoughts and feelings of the masses.” ―
Aldous Huxley, Preface to A Brave New World
“There can be no
greater stretch of arbitrary power than to seize children from their parents,
teach them whatever the authorities decree they shall be taught, and
expropriate from the parents the funds to pay for the procedure.” ― Isabel
Paterson
An educational system which misinforms
and indoctrinates young people by design was always the goal. In the United States it has been a concerted
effort. The failing education system is
being supported by the mass media and the political class. Confirmation of the lessons taught to the
young minds are reinforced constantly through entertainment programming, video
games, and even advertising. The news
media and the constant flow of collectivist information on the computer through
the manipulation of search engines confirm everything the child has been
taught. The homogenizing effects are now
global, and have become tools of state-sponsored propaganda and mind control
that doesn’t even seem to care anymore on whether or not it hides its
intentions.
A marriage between the mass media,
psychology and the education system has enabled the enemies of Liberty to more
easily target and access children. The
statists have invested heavily in research regarding human behavior and the
human psyche. As a result, advertisements,
movies, music videos and other media have coupled with the education industry
to be as influential on the lives of children, and their education, as
possible. Images and symbols are
strategically inserted to generate a desired response.
Saul Alinsky recognized that
teaching the children was an important part of initiating a Marxist
revolution. From Alinsky’s point of
view, the children, as well as the adults, must be taught to understand that
“The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and the wherefores of
life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the
world as it should be.”
His argument was a call for an
abandonment of morals and ethics. He
believed that morality and ethics prevent the world from being what “it should
be.” The Alinsky end game was a global
utopia in which the “people” have “power,” and God is eliminated.
“This is modeled after the Soviet
system,” said Charlotte Iserbyt, author of the book Deliberate Dumbing Down
of America and a former senior policy advisor at the U.S. Department of
Education. “It is part of a long-range plan outlined by the Carnegie
Corporation to abolish local elected boards and use education to transform
America from a capitalist system to a planned economy. The charter schools are a huge part of this
agenda too because they already do not have elected boards, and the plan is to
have unelected commissions and boards, at the same time as we move away from
local tax funding of schools. We are watching it all happen right now. The
simplest solution is to cut the international/federal/state umbilical cord!”
The solution is locally funded education
in which the parents are heavily involved, and an educated society who
understands the limiting principles of the U.S. Constitution, and the American
System of Liberty.
