What Goes On Today In Public Schools Is Not Stupidity–It Was Planned That Way By The Messiahs Of “Education”

by Al Benson Jr.

Recently I read an article on http://www.newswithviews.com by Pastor Roger Anghis. He commented about much of the educational fertilizer being spread abroad in public schools, and he was correct There was only one place I disagreed with him. He noted that “We are seeing stupidity reign in our seats of power. Things that you would never even think about fifty years ago are gong mainstream now.” I maintain that this is not a result of stupidity. It has been planned that way. It is all on purpose. Those people now promoting what goes on, at least most of them, know full well what they are doing and why.

Pastor Anghis observed, and correctly so, that “The absolute perversion in our schools, with drag shows and porn in the libraries, and the character of the teachers that…are allowed to teach our kids is appalling…Our teacher’s unions have taken the stand that parents have no right to determine what children learn…”

The idea there is that, at bottom, the kids really belong to the state and parents are only the surrogates that the state lets help them in raising the state’s children. Sorry to say, but this is not a new concept. I’ve been studying, and writing for over fifty years now, and I can remember that idea being put forth by public educrats over fifty years ago now–and it wasn’t new then! It really stretches back, in some form, into the late 1800s, when a few states made it a crime for parents to criticize their kid’s teachers in the presence of the kids! The idea back then was, though not explicitly stated, that the teacher’s word was law instead of what Mom or Dad said.

All they’ve done now is to take it to a higher level. The educrat’s agenda would have been, fifty years ago, what it is today if they felt they could have gotten away with it. But they were astute enough to know parents would not have stood for it, so they bided their time, two generations of it, all the while working to radicalize the students in those two generations. And while they weren’t completely successful, they felt they had made enough progress so that they can promote the educational offal they are currently turning out.

They tried promoting this educational tripe in Kanawha County, West Virginia back in 1974-75, and the parents revolted against it. It went over like the proverbial lead balloon. I wonder if the parents would turn out now to resist it in the numbers they did back then–almost fifty years ago. And I don’t say that to knock West Virginians by any means. I think the West Virginia situation was a public school experiment to see how much they could get away with, how much the parents would put up with. Once they figured that out, they knew how to plan for a more radical plan for public school kids. Once they found out, they could adjust their schedules accordingly.

If you wonder today why so many kids hate their country, look no further than what they were taught in public school history and economics classes. Look at the obvious leftist slant of some of the teachers picked up in the leftist colleges they attended, or even worse, in some of the schools they went to high school in! Much of what passes for “history” in high schools anymore is little short of overt leftist propaganda. I’ve seen quotes from some public school teachers that would cause Karl Marx to blush! And, no, I am not indicting all public school teachers. I’ve known a few good ones, but there are those among their number that are bad news for the kids they indoctrinate (not educate).

I read an article on http://www.americanvision.org for 11/2/2020. In it, the late Gary North said of a book by theologian R. J. Rushdoony, The Messianic Character of American Education that “The philosophy of the statists who designed American public schools was messianistic…goes through the primary sources of three dozen of these social experiments …These men were open about what they were attempting to do: reform the American people and American society through tax-funded education. They disagreed with each other on pedagogical methods, but they were united in their argument that the state, not parents, should be in charge of the education of all children. The state would then become the redeeming agent of society. It would replace church and family as agents of redemption.” And the public school was to be the seminary for this statist “redemption” in open (now) competition with the church. This is nothing more than a breaking of the Commandment “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Public education was to be the state’s attempt to create a god in its own image.

Once Christians can grasp and understand this, there is no reason for them to support public education any longer–in fact they should separate from it and find other methods to educate their children. The public school is a competing deity, a false god that cannot save, only destroy. All you have to do to grasp that is to look where it came from (Unitarianism and socialism) and look where it has taken our children up to and including now!

Think Only The South Had Slaves–Then You’ve Believed The Lie

by Al Benson Jr.

The slavery question in this country has been carefully crafted so that most people who read about it hear only the arguments put out by the winning side and never get the entire story. The “news” media and many pseudo-historians have a vested interest in making sure it stays that way. Historical fiction sells books that keep people from learning the truth.

An article on http://www.tracingcenter.org has observed: “A central fact obscured by post-Civil War mythologies is that the Northern U.S states were deeply implicated in slavery and the slave trade right up to the war. The slave trade in particular was dominated by the Northern maritime industry. Rhode Island alone was responsible for half of all U.S. slave voyages. James de Wolfe and his family may have been the biggest slave traders in U.S. history, but there were many others involved. For example, members of the Brown family in Providence, some of whom were prominent in the slave trade, gave substantial gifts to Rhode Island College, which was later named Brown University…”

The article continued: “The North also imported slaves, as well as transporting them and selling them in the South…While the majority of enslaved Africans arrived in Southern ports…most large colonial ports served as points of entry, and Africans were sold in Northern ports, including Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and Newport, Rhode Island. While the North gradually began abolishing slavery by law starting in the 1780s, many Northern states did not act against slavery until well into the 19th century, and their laws only provided for gradual emancipation, allowing slave owners to keep their existing slaves and often their children.” This isn’t what your “history” books told you is it–if they even mentioned it?

An article on http://www.library.providence.edu noted this commentary by Joanne Pope Mellish, Associate Professor Emerita, History Department, University of Kentucky, “Most Americans think of slavery as a solely Southern institution. In fact, the American slave trade was centered in New England, and enslaved people labored throughout the New England colonies from the mid-1600s through the American Revolution with slavery legally existing in Rhode Island until 1842…A few enslaved people still labored in New England on the eve of the Civil War–long after militant abolitionists had declared war on Southern slavery…” So you have to wonder, if this was the case, were those militant abolitionists really interested in doing away with slavery–or were they more interested in the destruction of the Southern states, with the slavery issue as a cover for their true agenda? For those who may not be able to pull up the above mentioned article by Professor Melish, she has written a book on this subject, “Disowning Slavery: Gradual Emancipation and ‘Race’ In New England 1780-1860.” It was published back in November of 2000 and you can check it out on http://www.amazon.com

Several years ago three honest reporters from Hartford, Connecticut, I think it was, wrote a book about how the North profited from and promoted the slave trade. I borrowed a copy from a friend and read it. It contained much information that has been carefully concealed over the years about the Northern complicity in the slave trade. This is not something the self-righteous Yankees want generally known–and when I talk about self-righteous Yankees I am not referring to all Northern folks.

But if you have bought the fiction that only the South was involved in the slave trade and that righteous Yankees fought a war to free the slaves then you have bought a specious lie that has no more truth in it than does belief in the tooth fairy. This whole erroneous tale is designed to make Yankees look good and all Southern folks to look bad and you should do enough homework on your own to give the lie to this tale. The truth is out there if you are willing to look. It has been covered up but you can still find it with a little digging. So do a little homework and you can tell the pseudo-historians where to go!

Those Government Indoctrination Centers We Refer To As Schools

by Al Benson Jr.

One government indoctrination center in Vermont has decided to eliminate the words male and female from the 5th grade curriculum. Students can’t use the words boy and girl in school because, after all, this school is in the process of becoming woke, and using such antiquated terms as boy and girl omits the other 126 sexes some flaky scientists and politicians have only recently informed us are now in existence. How many other public schools are like this one nationwide? More than you’d like to think about. But you’d better start thinking about it because the Theology of Woke will be coming to a public school near you if it’s not already there.

In the April 10th issue of the New American magazine a homeschooling dad commented on what he learned about public schools after he removed his son from one. He observed: “I’ve learned a lot since my son first attended kindergarten. The crux of it is that government schools are causing harm to our children, and they’re designed in a way that quashes the genius all children are born with. The architects of government schools, people such as Horace Mann and John Dewey, were socialists who sought to create little socialists who would grow up into big, adult socialists and turn America into one, big, happy socialist utopia.”

The dad continued: “Government schools have wasted generations of American genius and are a leading reason for the chaos and national self-hate destroying our society today. Government schools are a major reason the United States is no longer on the promising path it once was…The good news is that more than 1.2 million have been pulled out of American government schools just in the last two years, which has the regime propaganda outlets, such as the New York Times, freaking out…Schools pushing racist ideologies such as Critical Race Theory and sexually perverted books have also made it easier for parents to justify saving their children…So, yes, enrollment is plunging. But not fast enough. In perfect world, the schools would be emptied out tomorrow, and the U.S. Department of Education shuttered for good.”

The article noted that not all patriotic and conservative parents are convinced that public schools are the lost cause they really are. Many still believe they can reform or “take back” the public schools and that those schools were different when they attended them. Well, they were somewhat different, but that difference is only relative. They weren’t as openly radical years ago because they didn’t dare to be. Doing that would have given the game away, the way it did in Kanawha County, West Virginia in 1974. When parents there at that time saw what the schools were doing to their kids they revolted and managed to keep the schools shut down for a month. Eventually their protest was beaten to death, literally. A testimony to what happens to those who openly oppose Big Brother’s government education system!

I imagine if such happened today the parents would just be jailed as domestic terrorists and the omnipotent state would seize their kids and raise them as compliant little socialists, as was the vision of Mann and Dewey. It never occurs to that many parents to do some homework and find out that public schools have been getting progressively worse since at least the 1850s. Those who are willing to do the homework after defending public schools are in for quite a rude awakening. Unfortunately, Christian parents seem most derelict in this area. And I speak from experience here after talking with many of them. They are not willing to do the homework. All they want to do is defend the government schools no matter what–and tell me what wonderful sports or music programs those schools have–to which I reply–“You’re willing to trade your kid’s souls for a good sports program?” That usually ends the conversation, because whether they answer or not, their reply is yes, without even thinking about it! If we lose our country, which is a real possibility right now, it will be because we let the Lord’s enemies educate our children, and when we were told about it we did nothing to change it.

Weaponized “Justice” System Attacked Parents On Behalf Of Public Schools

by Al Benson Jr.

There was an informative article in the New American Magazine for April 24th which shows where public education is really coming from. The article noted: “According to the interim report released on March 21 by the House Committee on the Judiciary and its Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, there is more than enough evidence to prove that the National School Boards Association (NSBA) working in coordination with the Biden administration, created out of whole cloth the pressing need for federal investigation of parents. Twenty-five of those parents were investigated, but not a single charge was brought, indicating that the entire outrage was ‘manufactured’ with no ‘legitimate basis,’ according to the committee…”

In other words, the entire scenario was an exercise in shutting down parental dissent in regard to what was going on in pubic schools. The article continued: “Viola Garcia and Chip Slaven, president and CEO of NSBA, respectively, signed a letter to the White House stating, ‘America’s public schools and its education leaders are under an immediate threat. The National School Boards Association…respectfully asks for federal law enforcement and other assistance to deal with the growing number of threats of violence and acts of intimidation occurring across the nation…NSBA believes immediate assistance is required.”

It only took Biden’s puppet Attorney General five days to issue orders that directed the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Offices to meet in the next 30 days to talk about plans for dealing with this horrific trend–the trend of weaponizing those agencies under his royal command to begin harassing citizens whose only crime was expressing their First Amendment rights. You see, if you dare to attack what goes on in public schools you are automatically a domestic terrorist and need to be silenced.

The public school establishment would like to add another commandment to the original ten that the Lord gave on Mt. Sinai. And their new commandment is: “Thou shalt not, in anywise, complain about anything implemented by the public school system in regard to what it does to your children.” To do such is an act of terrorism against the public school establishment and will not be tolerated! Your children, after all, are the property of the state to “educate” in a manner the state deems appropriate! That about sums up where the public schools are really at.

This may sound extreme to some who have done no homework about the history of public education in America and who think public schools, overall, are pretty good. But if public schools today are so good, why are they so terrified of parental complaints? It’s because they realize that what they are doing to our kids is not something most parents would go along with and they want to stifle parental dissent before it grows to the point where they can no longer ignore it.

Interestingly, puppet Attorney General Garland has been asked to remove his weaponization letter regarding parents as domestic terrorists. He refuses to do so! So, if you are a parent who complains about the public schools radicalizing your kids you will remain a domestic terrorist! It’s time to quit complaining about what the public schools are doing to your kids and start getting your kids out of public schools! There are more than enough educational alternatives out there now that parents do not need to leave their kids in public indoctrination centers they still mistakenly refer to as schools!

Chicago Public Schools–A microcosm of our national problem

by Al Benson Jr.

Watching Fox News last evening (4/13) Tucker Carlson commented on the sorry situation in Chicago Public Schools. Tucker noted that lots of Chicago public school students can’t read, or can barely read, yet you can’t fail them. Why think of what they would do to their self-esteem! Lots of us have been saying for years now that public school students across the country have been taught almost nothing worthwhile, yet have been conditioned to think they are brilliant. Why any parent in Chicago, or anywhere else, would trust their children’s education to the public schools is beyond me.

A little homework on the internet should convince any thinking parent that the public school system is one gigantic indoctrination center, with real education having little or nothing to do with it. The public school system has a history of leftist indoctrination that extends back into the 1800s. Not only that, but the system is corrupt and will brook no interference from parents about what is being taught.

An article on https://wirepoints.org for 9/27/22 observed that: “The arguments for tearing apart Chicago Public Schools and replacing it with a universal choice program continue to pile higher. The system is an abject failure any way you cut it. Families are fleeing in record numbers as another 9,000 students left the district this school year. In all, student enrollment has dropped by 120,000 over the last two decades.” Chicago public schools spend $29,000 per student as outcomes plummet and enrollment continues to drop! It would seem that lots of parents in Chicago have at least some idea of what the game is–and it ain’t real education for their kids! It’s a con game that has little or nothing to do with real education.

Another article on https://chicago.chalkbeat.org for 1/5/23 noted that: “Chicago Public Schools watchdog is raising red flags about sharply increasing extra pay for school staff in recent years, rising sexual misconduct complaints, and a troubling practice of schools mislabeling students as transfers when they’re missing school. The district’s Office of Inspector General detailed these and dozens of other instances of fraud, misconduct and wrongdoing in a sweeping 120 page annual report released Thursday.” Sounds as if Chicago has a corrupt public school system and problem. Lest you think this public school problem exists only in Chicago, I also noted last evening a report about Loudon County, Virginia that noted they will soon be introducing unisex bathrooms in public schools. Just what the kids need! Virginia’s new governor, now outed as a disciple of Klaus Schwab, is supposed to be doing something about this kind of junk being foisted on public school kids. Will he? Don’t hold your breath waiting!

I have no idea what it will take to wake Christian parents up to the fact that they need to jettison the public school system. Thousands have. Many, many more need to. I wonder if we will ever get enough Christian kids out of public schools to turn things around and help save this country. Unless more Christians wake up pretty soon, it’s problematic as to whether it will ever happen.

“When You Reach For The Money The Handcuffs Go On!”

by Al Benson Jr.

The state of Utah has a new homeschool voucher law which is supposed to help homeschool families with educational expenses. At least that’s what we’ve been told. The ink was hardly dry on the legislation before some were concerned that it could be used by some homeschool groups to possibly promote neo-nazi and white supremacy propaganda. It seems such happened someplace in Ohio and some Utah parents were concerned that could happen in Utah. And I expect this concern was genuine on the part of some parents.

I suppose this concern will eventually lead to some do-gooder proposing that Utah enact some legislation that will act as guidelines forced on those who take any state money–and forced on all homeschoolers if they feel they can get away with that!

No one is in favor of Nazi propaganda being taught in homeschools anymore than they are in favor of Communist propaganda being taught in public schools. Both forms of propaganda are anathema to children.

Homeschooling as been a viable option in Utah for decades, but the new voucher program could just result in new regulations being enacted for homeschoolers–not right away, but after they get used to taking the state money! Utah would not be the first state that happened in. It is an old ploy for those who want control over what homeschools teach.

And from supposedly curtailing Nazi propaganda, how much of a jump is it to mandating that the “correct” version of history has to be taught? If homeschoolers are making it now without state “help” they probably really don’t need it. And if some do need a little help, could not their churches provide some? State money has often been the kiss of death for independent homeschoolers. With state money always come strings–you may do this but you can’t do that! Most homeschoolers are fleeing government-regulated “education” which is why they homeschool.

Years ago, when we lived in Illinois, my wife and I worked for a homeschool program there. This issue of taking state money was a constant fight decades ago. It is not new. It was a battle trying to keep government meddling out of homeschooling. It’s a never-ending battle. Government at all levels, federal, state, and local, wants so badly to control and be aware of all that we do–and we cannot let them get away with that. We have a Bill of Rights that says certain things are none of the government’s business–and how we educate our children is one of those things!

My advice to homeschoolers is to pass up government money. Doing that makes it more difficult for them to mandate what you can and can’t teach. The education you provide for your children should be between you and God. And try though it might, the state has not yet attained godhood!

The Public School Drag Queens Will Be Coming For Your Kids!

by Al Benson Jr.

Parents were outraged as students were mandated (required) to watch a drag performance. he school’s response was to double down and make sure the kids were forced to view this depravity. This is a warning sign to show parents where public education, so called, is really headed. You can ignore this at your kids peril, but it is not going away!

Pleasant Grove High School, in Elk Grove, California had what they billed as a “multicultural assembly” on March 3rd in which teams performed a school sanctioned youth drag performance. Yeah, you read that right–school sanctioned. This featured the high school’s LGBTQ group, which then danced provocatively in drag-inspired outfits. This assembly took place during school hours, was not an extracurricular activity, and it was mandatory for all students to attend! One student felt so uncomfortable with this display that he just put his head down. When his mother told him he should leave, he told her he was not allowed to.

Supposedly this drag performance was to protest against the more conservative states for their resistance to this kind of depravity. Many parents were really ticked off that they weren’t notified about the drag performance ahead of time. The email to parents about this event made no mention of the drag performance. Do you wonder why? You have to wonder how many kids would have been absent from school that day if their parents had known about this ahead of time. The school wanted a captive audience.

This particular high school is no stranger when it comes to grooming teens. The school district’s website displays a “gender support plan.” This is the school’s way to “create shared understandings about the ways in which the student’s authentic gender will be accounted for and supported at school.” As for what the parents might want, who cares? The government school considers itself the true federal parent. Mom and Dad are merely surrogates to the federal government! This article was taken from http://www.libsoftiktok@substack.com

This article should be ample proof that the public school system is not about education but rather is nothing but a gigantic government indoctrination program, with total depravity being the major point of the indoctrination! How much more will it take to wake some of you Christian parents up??? You need to begin to wake up and smell the educational coffee and get your kids out of these government indoctrination centers you still mistakenly refer to as schools!

Just because this may not have happened in your school–yet–doesn’t mean it ain’t coming! And when it does come it will probably be mandatory, just like it was in this school in California. What will you do then? Those halcyon days when you could still delude yourself that little Johnny or Mary were being witnesses to the school system are long gone! Even the most dense should be able to figure that out by now. If you care about your kids’ souls, get them out of public schools–lest you lose them forever!

Things To Dispense With For Educational Freedom

by Al Benson Jr.

I can recall, thinking back years ago now, that my friend and Mentor. Pastor Ennio Cugini, had talked about what needed to be done to ensure real educational freedom in this country. He mentioned two specific things I still remember. He said that you needed to get rid of compulsory attendance laws in the various states. At one point, years ago, the state of Mississippi had done that, but somewhere along the line that got changed so that Mississippi became just like the other states.

I had never heard of anyone else that advocated that except Pastor Cugini. He was ahead of his time, as he was on many other issues. It was and still is a fact that the majority of the property tax in most states goes to find the public schools. I’ve seen some people’s property tax bills here and there and almost without exception, somewhere between two thirds and three quarters of the property tax they paid went to fund the public schools. Pastor Cugini advocated that only those who use the public schools should have to pay this and not everyone else. I agree with him–and neither of us was a big fan of the property tax.

The property tax shows you who really owns the property you live on. Fail to pay the property tax and government at some level can take “your” property away from you. The prevailing theory here is that government really owns it all and the property tax you pay is your yearly rent for the use of some of it.

But, in regard to education, I ran across an article on https://fee.org for back on April 2, 2019 by Kerry McDonald that took compulsory schooling laws to task. McDonald is a senior education editor at FEE, with an ME in education from Harvard. She wrote: “Someone asked me recently if I could wave a magic wand and do one thing to improve American education what would it be. Without hesitation, I replied: ‘Eliminate state compulsory schooling statutes. Stripping the state of its power to define and control education under a legal threat of force is a necessary step in pursuit of education freedom and parental empowerment…While it’s true that some parents may have access to government schooling alternatives, many states require private schools to receive authorization in order to operate…Homeschoolers in most states must comply with state or local reporting mandates that is some areas require homeschoolers to take standardized tests or meet state-determined curriculum requirements. Those hoops are for those lucky enough to jump out of compulsory mass schooling.'”

McDonald went into the history of compulsory attendance laws somewhat as she noted: “Indeed, between 1820 and 1840, Boston’s population more than doubled, and most of these newcomers were poor Irish Catholic immigrants escaping Ireland’s deadly potato famine. They challenged the dominant Anglo-Saxon norms of the time, prompting many state leaders to lobby for a new compulsory schooling statute that would mandate children’s attendance in state-controlled public schools.” One editor wrote in 1851 that: “Nothing can operate effectually here but stringent legislation, thoroughly carried out by an efficient police; the children must be gathered up and forced into school ,and those who resist or impede this plan, whether parents or priests, must be held accountable and punished.” Sounds like Massachusetts was operating on the premise that the children belonged to the state rather than to the parents. We have similar situations today all across the country.

And so McDonald concludes that: “The first step to restore education freedom and empower parents with choice and opportunity for their children is to eliminate compulsory schooling laws that authorize state control of education. States could still require cities and towns to provide public schools to those who want them, but the power to compel parents to send their children there would disappear. In its place, a decentralized network of educational opportunities (including, but not limited to, various types of schooling) would unfold, fueled by visionary parents, educators, and entrepreneurs. Parents, not the state, would decide how and when their children are educated…Education freedom begins when government compulsion ends.” I think she’s right on the money. After all, the kids belong to their parents as God ordained it, and not to the state as man tries to ordain it.

More From The Public School Snakepit

by Al Benson Jr.

There seems almost no end to the total weirdness now going on in public schools, or maybe depravity would be a more fitting term. I recently came across an article by a Ben Johnson who is a senior reporter at The Washington Stand. Mr. Johnson noted in an article on https://www.dailysignal.com for August 16th that: “State universities indoctrinate future teachers in controversial transgender, racial, and political theories–and instruct them to teach these principles to children beginning in preschool, a new report has found.”

And he quoted the report’s author, Will Flanders, when he said, in an interview, “There’s a huge amount of liberal indoctrination going on…We found it across every public university in the state that has an education program.”

Johnson told us: Flanders, the research director at the Wisconsin Institute for Law &, Liberty did research of records across “…all public universities in Wisconsin that teach education. He and co-author Dylan Palmer asked for the syllabus, assignments, and reading list for education courses–the classes future teachers needed to pass in order to teach in the state’s public schools. The 44-page report found that many of these courses begin by defining biblical morality as beyond the pale…” Nothing like prejudicing your captive audience against biblical truth right at the beginning is there?

And Johnson tells us: “Once the university changes students’ personal morality, it instructs them to begin introducing radical gender theory to children as young as three. At UW-Whitewater, students read a chapter titled ‘Jusr Another Gay Day in the Campus Three-Year-Old Room,’ which tells students to include LGBTQ ‘lessons with a three-year-old day care center. At UW-Green Bay, would-be pedagogues must read the book Safe Is Not Enough: Better Schools for LGBTQ Students by Michael Sadowski, which the report explains ‘argues that teachers must bring conversation about gender and sexual identity into the classroom, encourage advocacy, and foster the LGBTQ identification of young students’.”

Johnson informs us that: “These criteria mean that teachers will be ‘discussing racial politics, gender politics, sexual identity, transgenderism, ahistorical anti-American history, and culturally revolutionary ideas with children as young as five or six years old,’ according to the report, which was produced by the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty.”

So you have to ask yourself, if you have a child who wants to be a public school teacher, is this type of educational propaganda what you want them to learn to teach? Is any of this stuff fit content for future teachers to have to pass along to students, especially students of a tender age? This kind of stuff is not real education. It is rank leftist indoctrination being foisted off on both future teachers and students as education. You almost feel like asking what foreign power these teachers colleges are working for. But then, if you have done some homework, you realize that the anti-American cabal that seized control of our government well over 100 years ago, is responsible for the anti-biblical and anti-American thrust of what students are and have been learning in “our” public schools for more decades than most of us have been alive.

Don’t even think about “reforming” the public schools! Trying to do that is akin to dumping a cup of water into the Gulf of Mexico to raise the water level. Parents need to remove their kids from the public school system and keep them out. I just read an interesting article the other day that stated that they expect the enrollment in public schools for the upcoming year to drop by 4%. On the face of it that may not seem like a lot, but then, 4% amounts to two million kids! That’s two million less kids the government schools get to brainwash in the coming year–and that is cause for rejoicing.

UNESCO As A Tool Of Communism

by Al Benson Jr.

Back when I was 17 years old a group of us who had paper routes were taken on a trip to new York City. One of the stops on our itinerary was a visit to the UN building. We got the usual “Cook’s Tour” but I doubt if any of us thought much about what they told us at the time. I don’t know who planned all the places we went to, but someone had to and I have wondered, in retrospect, why they wanted us to see the UN building and be influenced by what we were told there.

At that point in my life I knew nothing about much of anything, but like most kids my age, thought I knew it all. It was to be another fourteen years before I started to find out what the United Nations was really all about and what I did find out was hardly reassuring.

The United Nations turned out to be nothing but a vehicle to promote the idea of one world government. In essence, it was a major step backward–all the way to the Tower of Babel as talked about in the Book of Genesis in the Bible. The Tower of Babel was man’s attempt to reach Heaven by his own efforts. The UN’s effort is to create, so they tell us, Heaven on earth, although they don’t believe in Heaven or in God, so their effort is man’s effort–and being that, it will ultimately fail, even though it will ultimately make many lives miserable in the process.

The communists have been quick to utilize the efforts of the UN because they see in it a tool they can use to promote one world government with themselves as the head of that government. In his book The Fearful Master G. Edward Griffin explained how UNESCO fit right in to the communist plan to influence education in America. The Communists long ago recognized what they had to do to take over in America. Griffin told us: “And in 1936, speaking before the ninth national convention of the Communist party in the United States, Earl Browder declared: ‘Who wins the youth, wins the future of America’.” And regarding UNESCO, Griffin informed us that: “As former Communist Joseph Z. Kornfeder expressed it: ‘UNESCO corresponds to the agitation and propaganda department in the Communist party. This department handles the strategy and method of getting at the public mind, young and old’…On August 2, 1953, Dr. Luther Evans, who was then the new director of UNESCO, inadvertantly confirmed the new Senate report when he declared that ‘the U.S. drive against Communist infiltration in UN groups was a factor threatening to destroy UNESCO.”

Griffin pointed out that many who supported and worked for UNESCO did so out of good motives, but then he noted: “It has always been the pattern of successful Communist operation to have unsuspecting idealists do most of the work while the Communists stay in the background pulling the strings and issuing the directives.” One of those unsuspecting idealists was a man named John Larson who found out when it came to UNESCO, he really had very little input. Eventually he woke up to the game and revealed: “With respect to UNESCO’s literature, it has very little substance and what it does have, appears overtly or covertly to be slanted away from the spiritual and political beliefs and traditions of the United States of America and toward the sterile conceptions of a nebulous one-world government or a federation which is to be built upon atheistic foundations…I found grave errors of omission and distortions of perspective with respect to historical trends and events and to the growth and development of certain ideas…The foundations of UNESCO are atheistic and materialistic. For it, man is the highest product of nature rather than one created in the image and likeness of God. This view of God and man dictates UNESCO’s methods and can be seen in them…UNESCO preys upon those with whom it comes in contact and is more than glad to assume covertly or overtly all responsibility.”

UNESCO issued a series of books called Toward World Understanding several years back. In Volume 5 it was stated: “The kindergarten or infant school has a significant part to play in the child’s education. Not only can it correct many of the errors of home training, but it can also prepare the child for…membership in the world society.” And Griffin has duly noted that: “Over the past twenty years the concept of education in America has gradually changed until today (and he wrote this in 1964) it is shockingly UNESCO-oriented. And this includes more than attitudes toward patriotism and religion. Increasing emphasis has been placed on such vagaries as ‘human adjustment,’ ‘group consciousness,’ and ‘social cooperation’.”

You should be able to see with all of this that it does not bode well at this late hour for American youth. Their attitudes and affections have been tampered with and this spiritual assault on them has taken place in public school classrooms and in some private schools as well. All the more reason to remove your kids from the public school classroom and either teach them at home or find a Christian school that reflects what you believe rather than what the world believes.
