The Triumph of Socialism: U.S. Education System is Teaching Groupthink or Collectivism over Individual Initiative

The Methodical Destruction of American Education

February 3, 2011

Patriot News Network - For approximately one hundred years, education in America has been controlled by subversive organizations. These organizations have used, and are continuing to use, education as a tool of oppression. This infiltration has led to the decay of morality, freedom, and prosperity in this country.

The end goal through the covert control of the educational system is to destroy the United States Constitution and subjugate the American people, along with the rest of the world's people, into a one-world totalitarian government.

Our children are being indoctrinated daily with humanism conducive to world government. Education “reform” in the present day is a scam as both sides of the debate are controlled by the same interests. This fictitious debate is part of a Hegelian dialectic designed to indoctrinate our children into humanism and collectivism while giving them just enough workforce education to serve their corporate masters in the global economy.

Early experimental psychologists, adhering to humanist ideology, thought that man could be conditioned or molded in any way desired as long as the psychologists applied the proper techniques. The late 1800s marked a time when educational theory in America began to shift away from schools imparting knowledge to children to schools that focused on changing behavior in children. Psychologists began to ponder not what kinds of things should be taught, but rather what kind of children they wanted to mold for society.

In the early years of the twentieth century, powerful families, namely the Rockefellers and Carnegies, would lend financial support to the research efforts of the behavioral psychologists, which forever changed American education and society in a negative manner.

In 1921, the Rockefeller- dominated Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) was established. This insidious, pro-socialist world government organization has had a profound effect on education in America and continues to at present.

The same year the CFR was established the Tavistock Institute in London was founded with financial backing from the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, and British Monarchy. Tavistock is a think tank created to influence public opinion and condition minds for world government. Today, Tavistock controls the Aspen Institute which strongly shapes American education through its influence on America's leading education reformers, specifically the Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP) network of charter schools and Teach For America.

With the Council on Foreign Relations and the powerful tax-exempt organizations controlled by the Rockefellers, Carnegies, and other elite families firmly established, the 1930s proved to be a time when humanism and socialism gained widespread support among academic and political circles. During the 1940s and 1950s, the communist and socialist “change agents” had infiltrated our government at the highest levels which enabled them to put the United States on a path to destruction via control of its educational system. This was a time period when several key pieces of humanist and socialist legislation were passed affecting education. It was also a time when several mass mind control organizations stepped up efforts to psychologically enslave the American people into collectivist and humanist thought in order to establish world government.

Furthermore, the United Nations was founded in 1945 and the United States became a member of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1946. This was extremely damaging to our nation as humanist educational policies from UNESCO were implemented in American schools in the following decades.

In 1953, the behavioral psychologists made their lasting mark on education by perfecting the work of Wundt and Dewey. Skinner, Bloom, and others set the stage for the complete indoctrination and conditioning of children inside classrooms by means of operant conditioning, thus allowing for total societal control in the future. Bloom’s Taxonomy is a foundation for education and teacher training all across the country today.

The last four decades of the 20th Century saw radical changes in education nationwide due to the actions of humanist and socialist change agents who followed in the footsteps of their predecessors of the 1940s and 1950s. Legislation was passed that removed local control of schools and placed control in the hands of the federal government, thus ensuring control of society by elitist social engineers.

Federally-controlled organizations and programs were created, which ensured the changing of teachers into behavior “molders” using Skinnerian methods instead of teachers who imparted knowledge to children using traditional methods. Additionally, federal workforce training programs were implemented in schools to provide lifelong laborers for corporations in the 21st Century – all in the name of a highly controlled, socialist world government.

Currently, the education reform debate rages in this country between two seemingly different parties. On one side is the National Education Association and its supporters, and on the other side of the debate is the Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP) and Teach For America (TFA) representing charter schools. However, the elite socialists and communists control both sides.

Bear in mind that the majority of people involved with these two camps are unaware of this truth and are good people who really believe that they are making a difference in the lives of children, but they are being brainwashed and manipulated by their hidden controllers who have propped them up with funding in order to pull their strings from behind the scenes. The powerful tax-exempt foundations and their affiliated think tanks and corporations, are behind it all – and a highly controlled, socialist society under world government is the endgame.

The National Education Association was compromised several decades ago via the Rothschild and Rockefeller-funded Tavistock Institute. Thousand of teachers and leaders have been run through the brainwashing mill of National Training Laboratories, which is run by Tavistock.

Of course, the socialists and communists have their grip on the KIPP/TFA side of the dialectic, primarily through the Rockefeller-dominated Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission and the Tavistock-controlled Aspen Institute. The leadership of KIPP and TFA is loaded with members of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. In addition, many of the KIPP and TFA leaders are undergoing collectivist brainwashing at the Aspen Institute. Furthermore, KIPP's biggest donors have strong ties to the Council on Foreign Relations, UNESCO, and the Aspen Institute.

Again, the same manipulative tax-exempt foundations and their affiliated think tanks and corporations are behind the intentional destruction of education as well as its reform. The ultimate goal, or synthesis, is a world government with a dumbed down global workforce, ready and willing to serve their corporate masters. The real reason behind the creation of “choice” through the charter school movement was to open the door to corporate influence. The United States is now seeing the early stages of a corporate takeover of education.

Ultimate control of American education can be traced back to the British Empire working through British Freemasonry. The Rhodes-Milner Round Table was founded by British Freemasons with the backing of the Rothschild banking dynasty. Cecil Rhodes of the Round Table was an admitted racist and wrote in his will that he desired for the United States to be brought back under the control of the British Empire and for the British Empire to rule the world. Rhodes stated in his final will that he wanted to establish a scholarship program for students to be indoctrinated into British Imperialism in order to carry out his plan for British domination of the world. Rhodes Scholars have infiltrated our educational system and government at the highest levels. From the Round Table originated the Royal Institute for International Affairs and its sister organization in America, the Council on Foreign Relations. The Trilateral Commission was founded by David Rockefeller as a sister organization to the CFR. The British-Rothschild alliance also gave birth to the Tavistock Institute in London, which controls the Aspen Institute in the United States.

Lastly, the financiers and controllers of American education are intimately connected to the racist Eugenics movement and depopulation agenda. Both the Carnegies and Rockefeller families have funded Eugenics research in America. The Rockefellers supported the Eugenics research of the Nazis and founded the Population Council in 1952. Educational financier, Bill Gates, gives millions to UNESCO and KIPP as well as the Eugenics front organization, Planned Parenthood.

The humanist elite who are destroying education in this country are suffering from mental illness. They believe that through science they are going to perfect human nature, or become God, and that they are going to create two separate species from human beings: One is to be the slave class and the other is to be the perfect human.

They are trying to create a society that will progress into absolute tyranny – total world government in the hands of the few at the expense of the many. Only a well-informed public can stop these people dead in their tracks.

The Corporate Takeover: The Trend for Appointing CEOs to Top Jobs is Symptomatic of a Declining Commitment to Public Education and Social Justice

November 30, 2010

The Guardian - The top positions in state education across the US reflect a trust in CEO-style leadership for education management and reform. Along with these new leaders in education, billionaire entrepreneurs have also assumed roles as education saviours. Bill Gates, Geoffrey Canada, Arne Duncan, Joel Klein, and Michelle Rhee have capitalised on their positions in education to rise to the status of celebrities, as well – praised in the misleading documentary feature Waiting for Superman, on Oprah, and even on Bill Maher’s Real Time.

Like Obama, Secretary Duncan has led refrains against bad teachers, while ignoring the growing impact of poverty on the lives of children and on schools. One very visible effect of this trend for recruiting CEO-style leaders and billionaire entrepreneurs is the new commitment to corporate-sponsored charter schools. The corporate push to take over state education is, in fact, masking the failures of corporate America. And, in turn, this masks the fact that America has failed state education, rather than state education failing America.

The standards, testing and accountability movement is built on a claim that education can change society. The corporate support for the accountability movement and the “no excuses” charter school movement seeks to reinforce that claim because, otherwise, corporate America and the politicians supporting corporate America would have to admit that something is wrong with our economic and political structures.

And the evidence isn’t on the side of corporate America.

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has shown that only 14% of pupil achievement can be attributed to the quality of the school; 86% of that achievement is driven by factors outside of education. David Berliner has also established six out-of-school factors that overwhelm the effectiveness of education against poverty and expanding social inequities.

In the US, achievement gaps and failure in state schools reflect larger inequalities in society, as well as dysfunction in corporate, consumer culture. The schools did not cause those gaps or failures – although it is true that, far too often, they perpetuate the social stratification. And the evidence shows that schools alone will never be able to overcome powerful social forces.

The real failure, which is the message being ignored here, is that one of the wealthiest countries in the world refuses to face the inequities of its economic system, a system that permits more than 20% of its children to live in poverty and to languish in schools that America has clearly decided to abandon, along with its democratic principles.

Jack Kent Cooke Foundation is Part of Team of KIPP Supporters

November 19, 2011

Jack Kent Cooke Foundation - The next likely tough-love chapter in the reform-schooling of urban America appears to be moving into alignment, explicably borne forward by willful ignorance, political hubris, moneyed arrogance, and a national advertising campaign to publicize a new secret weapon in the continuing crusade to raise test scores and close the achievement gap. The reformers’ new secret weapon is a non-profit corporate chain of charter schools known as the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP).

Since being embraced by George W. Bush in 2000, KIPP, Inc. has become the new miracle (or mirage) choice model that promises to finally fix the children in neighborhoods where poverty is left unchecked and in a viral state.

With a new administration now in Washington even more keen than the last one on accelerating the number of charter schools in urban areas where a psychological “no excuses” rehab seems to be in order, we could see the fruition of an ideological commitment to privatization, anti-unionism, and social efficiency control that, heretofore, has constituted the education agenda of political conservatives only.

The seamless replacement of urban public schools by corporate-run charter schools could depend, sadly, on the ability of cash-starved states and cities to withstand takeover bids from corporations and their foundations, which now effectively exert their power through the federal education establishment. With the Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, publicly supportive of the CEO-powered urban model, from the mayor’s office down to the principal’s office, resistance may prove futile among economically hard-pressed state and city governments.

Begun as a single middle school in 1994 by two ambitious Teach for America alums in Houston, Texas, the KIPP chain now has over 80 locations and the financial backing of America’s most active corporate givers to K-12 education. Since 2000, when a simulated KIPP classroom skit was presented as part of the program for Republican National Convention, the growing list of benefactors has grown impressively. With many deep pockets at the ready to assist, KIPP has emerged as the poster school for urban education reform.

Here is a partial list available from the KIPP Foundation website:

Teach for America (TFA) — another favorite non-profit educational organization among philanthro-capitalists (Mosle, 2009) — continues to ramp up its advertising to include national buys on television, as many of the same corporate benefactors from KIPP’s impressive list of givers pour in more edu-preneurial investments through non-profit and tax-sheltered foundations and social entrepreneurial investment funds such as the New Schools Venture Fund.

With the average KIPP teacher leaving after three years service (Browne 2009, 174), and with new KIPP locations planned, the $18-20 million annually that TFA now spends on recruiting will likely fall short of the amount needed to sustain the teacher induction effort.
