U. S. Education - Ask And You Shall Receive (As You Are Being Deceived)!



While Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey are envying, from their graves, the circus centered around who will be the next inhabitant of the puppet hut at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, many core issues are not being discussed. Depending upon where you live, school may be beginning this week. Caring and anxious parents will refocus their efforts to provide their children with the best education options available. Parents need to beware of what they ask for, because, as they ask, they will be deceived about what they and their children will receive! For many of us engaged in the fight against Common Core and the theft of local control of education, it has been disappointing that so many caring parents, teachers, administrators, clergy and politicians fail to grasp the gravity of the continuing, purposeful degradation of education in America. As I was reading an email from Charlotte Iserbyt, a preeminent crusader for children and against almost all things in U. S. education since before becoming a whistleblower while serving within the Reagan administration, a thought struck me. Maybe we need to change our narrative, so that we can ‘tear down that wall’ between us and those who fail to see the evils embedded within our educational system.
A good friend of mine continually advises that simplicity is God-like and confusion is of Satan, so let’s do a slight paradigm shift! Americans have become accustomed to several things regarding options and opportunities within our society. With our free enterprise system, we have enjoyed a plethora of options in just about every aspect of our lives. Free enterprise encourages competition. Over time, because of competition, our options usually grow in number, improve in quality and decrease in cost. Due to this somewhat uniquely American circumstance, many parents don’t worry about the horrors that are devilishly embedded within Common Core because they believe they have options. Obviously, they don’t understand the end game of Common Core. Common Core is designed to eliminate all beneficial innovation, destroy actual learning opportunities and drive an increase in the cost of education. Common Core is about total control! Because many parents have not come to grips with what has been and is happening within education in America, they are begging for ‘school choice’, ‘money following the child’ and ‘charter schools’. They see these options as keys for providing better opportunities for their children. Many parents believe that with one, two, or all three of these options, they can enrol their children in a better school. Whereas parents don’t grasp the globalist agenda, and Common Core is a core component of U. N. Agenda 21 (now 2030), what they don’t realize is that even if they are successful in the short term, these are not long term solutions. In fact, these solutions will, most likely, be the final nails in the coffin of the U. S. education system for generations of U. S. children. Understanding the ultimate agenda is the key to understanding why those in government and the ‘polite circles of society’ might capitulate to the proletariat demands. Many people understand that they are members of the proletariat, and, as long as they enjoy a decent quality of life, they don’t make waves. They probably want something better for their children, but being free to practice their faith (if applicable), provide for their family, work and enjoy some rest and relaxation, life is much better here than in most areas around the globe.

There are others, though, who don’t realize that the traditional definition of proletariat is significantly narrower than how the globalist bullies-in-suits (‘banksters’, self-appointed elites and Euro-royalty) define those who comprise the proletariat. The globalist bullies’ definition of the proletariat expands the pool to include virtually everyone not in their exclusive clubs. As difficult as this fact may be for high cash-flowing and/or well-connected parents, if they aren’t in the backrooms, plotting the next wave of attacks upon the proletariat, they are members of that greatly expanded proletariat. The term ‘attacks’, is not hyperbole. For over a century, backroom bullies, masquerading as a caring gentry, have been on a mission to deploy a New World Order upon the peoples of the world. Akin to playing leap frog, the bullies have used one Hegelian Dialectic after another to advance their agenda. When you understand that Common Core is a global action to strip the children of the proletariat of their ability to think for themselves, their personalities and their souls, in an effort by the bullies-in-suits to dominate the expanded proletariat of the world, it begs the question, ‘Why would they be willing to acquiesce to the proletariat demands for ‘school choice’, ‘money following the child’ and ‘charter schools”? Methinks something sinister is afoot! Again, all three ‘demands’ are based upon the assumption that better schools will be available, possibly with financial assistance, to boot! This is huge, because this assumption belies reality. The operative word in ‘Common Core’ is ‘Common’. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary (do they still use dictionaries and thesauri in school?), a couple of definitions of ‘common’ are, 1) a lack of privilege or special status, and, 2) falling below ordinary standards. How does this sound to parents who believe their children are special? Hopefully, those not on board will soon realize that a ‘core’ of Common Core is the conformity of education, regardless where a child attends school. Instead of schools improving, the exceptional schools will be marginalized because, again, the operative word is ‘common’. Schools in the suburbs are targets of the globalist bullies! While parents, public school districts, politicians and judges argue about public school funding, the agenda of the globalist bullies advances. Actually, Common Core is much worse than what is being discussed in this column, but the goal of this column is to keep things simple, so that people, especially parents, will be encouraged to do their due diligence about their children’s education, just like they do when considering the purchase of a home, a car, or planning a vacation destination. The options being dangled in front of us are actually weapons for stealing all options.

Those in the military are special targets for the deployment of Common Core

Those in the military are special targets for the deployment of Common Core. Common Core is touted to parents in the military, because of the frequent relocation demands that come with life in the military. Acceptance of Common Core by those in the military also offers the implied endorsement of those who are respected by millions for their service, who can share horror stories of what their children encounter in school, when a parent in the military is re-deployed on a continual basis. Common Core is the antithesis of what we are told by the bullies-in-suits, who are forcing their destructive agenda upon us, our children, and our grandchildren. Also, because of the frequent relocations for many in the military, the loss of local control may not be as important for them as it is for the majority of those who are permanent residents in a community/school district. Additionally, for those strapped financially and/or who already have children enrolled in Catholic, Christian, parochial or private school, ‘money following the child’ appears to be a dream come true. Many people also champion charter schools, but would they embrace any of the options, if they knew how the backroom bullies-in-suits are conniving to use the people’s ‘demands’ against the parents and their children? When ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) was rammed through by Lamar Alexander (R-TN), John Kline (R-MN) and Patty Murray (D-WA), with the ready assistance of the Speaker of the House Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY) earlier this year, being a Catholic, it was disturbing to see that the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) had supported this treason against the children of our decaying republic. In delving into some of the minutia embedded within ESSA, it is easy to see why the Bishops sold out the children in their care. Not surprisingly, the support from the Bishops, and possibly others associated with parochial and private schools, was due to the lure of the prospect of money from the federal government being made available for these schools. This is part of the ‘money following the child’. Didn’t the Bishops realize that the moment they accept a penny from the federal government, their schools will be owned, ‘lock, stock and barrel’, by the federal bureaucrats who are proxies for the globalist bullies? This has been a goal of these bullies-in-suits for a long time, and all they needed to do was bait their hook with the lure of ‘free’ money, at the request of parents, teachers, administrators, clergy, and out-of-the-loop politicians, to accomplish their dream. The globalist bullies must be laughing to the point of exhaustion and all the way to the bank for their surprisingly good ‘fortune’! Once controlled by the bureaucrats, the promises of allowing for ‘Catholic’ or other faith-based education can be rescinded. What a sad commentary for those who were blinded by a coveting of money, another one of Satan’s lies!

For all of the rhetoric about charter schools, many people fail to connect the dots of what is happening behind closed doors

For all of the rhetoric about charter schools, many people fail to connect the dots of what is happening behind closed doors. Local control of education by parents, taxpayers, those atop the educational institutions and state legislatures through elected school boards has been a cornerstone to our educational system. This has been an impediment to achieving total control of the educational systems across the country by the bullies-in-suits, so, what if charter schools can become not just alternatives to public schools, but replacements for public schools? What if the boards for these replacement schools could have appointed boards in lieu of elected boards? Being appointed, those on the board may be anonymous and they will be unaccountable to the students, parents, educators and administrators, taxpayers and out-of-the-loop politicians. If you learn what Reed Hastings, Netflix CEO, has to say about replacing elected school boards with appointed school boards, and you have a subscription with Netflix, you may want to cancel it. He is a strong advocate of appointed school boards. Opting out of the testing to escape some of the negative aspects of Common Core is also a short term solution, and it doesn’t negate the data-mining of the children. School districts must have a minimum of 95% participation in Common Core and the requisite testing, in order to receive their federal funding. Because of this, school districts will become creative, if not abusive, in their effort to corral conformity. They can’t let the federal funding spigot run dry! In normal nomenclature, this is defined as bullying, but the bullies-in-suits will refer to any heavy-handedness as encouragement for the benefit of the children; balderdash! Anytime bullying is needed, in any way to coerce compliance, any supposed benefits for ‘the mark’ (in this case, the child) are non-existent. Parents can’t trust too many of those in education or government, either. Even if teachers and administrators detest Common Core and/or the theft of local control, their livelihood will be threatened, if they speak out against either, or both. This is especially true for the administrators, because many have some very sweet deals that also act as handcuffs and muzzles. When it comes to politicians, what can one say that hasn’t already been said? The Mustang Ranch, outside of Reno, NV, enjoys a better reputation than any state house and the District of Corruption. While Common Core receives the lion’s share of discussion about all things in education, the loss of local control is a greater danger than Common Core, for this reason. How can any school district or state school board endeavor to get rid of Common Core, if they don’t have control of the district or state school boards? Common Core and the theft of local control are a devastating, ‘one-two’ punch to our educational system, and to the future of our children and our republic. The bullies-in-suits know this, because they are the ones who have designs to control every aspect of everyone’s lives. Another option worthy of discussion is that of homeschooling. For those who can do so, that’s great, but most parents can’t do it in today’s economy. Even for those who can homeschool, as the tentacles of Common Core become entrenched into the standards and learning materials available, homeschooling will be engulfed into the conformity demanded by the globalist bullies. One thought that most won’t voice is that of the outlawing of homeschooling. For most Americans, this thought is unconscionable, but they aren’t thinking like a globalist bully. The globalist agenda is sacrosanct, and the end justifies the means. This is being applied elsewhere (ObamaCare, smart meters, geo-engineering, rewilding, EPA dictates, climate change, AFFH, the corruption of morals, etc.) so why would education be any different? If the proxies of the globalist bullies are willing to acquiesce to the demands of parents, parents need to wake up to the fact that there must be a sinister reason they are willing to do so. ‘School choice’, ‘money following the child’ and ‘charter schools’ become lethal weapons to be used in advancing the bullies-in-suits’ surreptitious and nefarious agenda to enslave the children of America. When laggard parents finally realize they have been deceived and protest this usurpation of rights and freedoms, the weak puke politicians will respond to these incriminations, stating that all they did was what the people said they wanted. Parents, don’t take the bait! These bullies don’t fight fair. They are eager to accommodate the demands for ‘school choice’, ‘money following the child’ and ‘charter schools’, preying upon your naïve innocence about you believing you have control to improve your children’s educational opportunities in the world they control. The only ways to improve your children’s educational opportunities are to eliminate Common Core and ESSA, and reinstitute genuine educational standards and policies, while holding fast to retaining local control through elected school boards.
