American Deception

American Deception: "Handicapping_Young_Minds-2002-3pgs-EDU.sml.pdf
A Petition related to French Elementary Schools, written by a high-ranking Inspector of French Schools. This Petition documents that the deliberate dumbing down of students is not confined to the USA, but is in fact part of an international dumbing down. Monsieur Ferrier says in part 'But certain measures adopted by educators and school systems prevent the acquisition of basicknowledge and elementary skills…Among these measures: The abandonment of all forms of memorizing or 'rote-learning' in favor of more 'creative' and 'rewarding' or fulfilling' exercises. Very useful and informative document which dovetails with similar petitions being circulated in the USA."

American Deception: "Education_Reform_Will_Control_You-Marilyn_Reicks-1991-60pgs-
EDU.sml.pdf
Occasionally a public school teacher turns activist against the change agents wreaking destruction of the traditional public school system. One courageous teacher was Marilyn L. Reicks who wrote “Education Reform Will Control You” in 1991. Her activism lead to her losing her teaching job. Some excerpts from this small package of dynamite follow:
A model for community education is being put in place: A model to show other schools in the nation how the school can become 'the hub of the community' . Human services, health specialists, social services, law enforcement personnel, the world of work professionals, child care workers, and other social organizations and government
agencies will work with the school . Services including primary health care, social services, counseling, child care, job training, employment, leisure activities, retirement,
parenting, and et cetera will be controlled through the school . Global control at the local
level . Control over every aspect of your life - womb to tomb."
