"Knowledge unenlightened by the truth of God is dark knowledge. We may have a B.S., an M.S., and a Ph.D., but without the Lord all we have is dark information. It may help navigate us in the world of darkness, but by itself will never lead us to the truth. Apart from the revelation of the Spirit of God, none of us could ever find our way into the light. Darkly educated people are like those whom Paul described to his young protégé', Timothy, as 'always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.'" (2 Timothy 3:7) Rediscovering the Kingdom by Myles Munroe

Patriotism, sovereignty, commitment, discipline, and respect are being programmed out of America's education system, because these attributes will build strong self-confident individuals that will not be deceived into relinquishing the individual freedoms and rights upon which America was founded. The liberals will never be able to form their New World Order, replacing God with a One World Government. Has the American Christian Heritage been removed from History, from your child's Public School, College or Universities, and been replaced with the basics with OBE - the psychology of producing worker bees, utilizing drugs? The drugging of American children under the guise of ADD and like-minded "psychoanalysis" of keeping kids from being kids, because aggression and competition is contrary to the liberal quest of controlling "drones."

As America approaches its 225th birthday, a recent poll shows that almost a quarter of America's teenagers have trouble passing a fourth-grade level U.S. history test. In fact, 22 percent could not name the country from which the United States declared its independence. Fourteen percent thought 'France' was the correct answer. In addition, 17 percent did not know there were 13 original colonies, and 15 percent were unaware that the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation commissioned the study, which surveyed 1,000 teenagers nationwide. Source: CNSNews.com

One of the nation's leading constitutional scholars says a majority of Americans are ignorant when it comes to understanding the basis of their freedoms. Howard Phillips of The Conservative Caucus believes the problems Americans are facing -- specifically, an activist judiciary and its efforts to stifle religious freedom -- are a direct result of the failure of the public education system to teach the basis of American freedoms: the Constitution. "We have generations of young people and now middle-aged people -- and law school graduates -- who have not studied the Constitution, who don't recognize its importance, don't recognize that it is the anchor of our liberty, and don't recognize that the Supreme Court and all the federal courts are under the Constitution -- not over it," the conservative icon says. Several members of Congress want to craft a thorough bill that would mandate the teaching of the U.S. Constitution and its principles to all American students. Phillips says that would ensure the survival the nation and its freedoms. AgapePress.org NEWS BRIEFS within: (http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/12/52003h.asp)

Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth Shapiro, Ben - Townhall columnist Ben Shapiro reveals how America's university system is one of the largest brainwashing machines on the planet. Examining this nationwide problem from firsthand experience, Shapiro shows how the leftists who dominate the universities use their power to mold impressionable minds.

"The great enemy of the salvation of man, in my opinion, never invented a more effectual means of extirpating Christianity from the world than by persuading mankind that it was improper to read the Bible at schools. The Bible, when not read in schools, is seldom read in any subsequent period of life. It should be read in our schools in preference to all other books from its containing the greatest portion of that kind of knowledge which is calculated to produce private and public temporal happiness." Benjamin Rush

"Let the American youth never forget, that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and capacity, if wisely improved, and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of life, the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence." Joseph Story

"It should be your care, therefore, and mine, to elevate the minds of our children and exalt their courage; to accelerate and animate their industry and activity; to excite in them an habitual contempt of meanness, abhorrence of injustice and inhumanity, and an ambition to excel in every capacity, faculty, and virtue. If we suffer their minds to grovel and creep in infancy, they will grovel all their lives." John Adams

"Few subjects are as important to the future of America as a thorough understanding and appreciation of the U.S. Constitution by every school student. It is not enough to simply praise the document as one of the foundations of our nation. It is essential that students learn why and how the Constitution governs the structure and function of government. It is crucial that students learn that government is empowered by the consent of the governed, not the other way around. They must learn that this power is transmitted to the government through the election process and that they, individually, bear the responsibility to choose candidates who reflect their views. They must learn that freedom in America is the reason why the nation has prospered. Freedom is neither granted nor guaranteed by the government. Government can only limit freedom. Freedom is granted by the Creator and guaranteed by responsible individuals who hold their government accountable. A thorough knowledge and appreciation of the U.S. Constitution is the first step toward becoming a responsible citizen. The next step is to act continually on that knowledge, to keep government within the limits of power to which the people consent." Henry Lamb

Revisionism: How to Identify It In Your Children's Textbooks by David Barton

The Current State of American Education (Summer 2005) by David Barton

U.N. influence in U.S. schools - Toward World Understanding, a UNESCO textbook, says: “As long as the child breathes the poisoned air of nationalism, education in world-mindedness can produce only rather precarious results.  As we have pointed out, it is frequently the family that infects the child with extreme nationalism.”

The International Baccalaureate (IB) program: “administrators do not tell you that the current IB program for ages 3 through grade 12 promotes socialism, disarmament, radical environmentalism and moral relativism, while attempting to undermine Christian religious values and national sovereignty.”

Do you think U.S. Students should be taught:  1. Primarily as American citizens or global citizens? 2. That the U.S. is an independent sovereign nation or under the United Nations? 3. The "New Civics" curriculum while eliminating teaching the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights? 4. The UN's Declaration of Human Rights as being superior to the Bill of rights? With the American History and Civics Education Act (deceptive terminology) which replaces the teaching of traditional American history and civics with the "New Civics" curriculum of a global village, one world government, and open borders?

Indoctrination In High School By David Horowitz ...When I visited this teacher's classroom some days later this suspicion was confirmed by the posters of Che Guevara and Mother Jones she had adorning her English classroom walls along with a sign that said "Iraq is Arabic for Vietnam." ...I confronted several of the teachers present over what I considered the abuse of students in their charge. Using students as a captive audience on whom to inflict one's political prejudices was entirely unprofessional, I said, and a violation of the students' academic freedom. Students are in school to be educated and have a universally recognized right at least in American schools not to indoctrinated. ...The scene I had witnessed is part of a drastic change in the educational culture in America which is coming more and more to look like the educational systems in Havana and pre-liberation Iraq. It's time for the rest of us to do something about this. I have formed a national organization called Parents and Students for Academic Freedom. Information is available at (web site). Chapters are local and are independent so long as they follow our guidelines for academic freedom. Parents and students need to begin forming them now. On the website you can find a model bill of rights for your school and model legislation for your legislature. I hope by the fall to have an Academic Bill of Rights for K-12 schools, which would prevent political indoctrination in K-12 classrooms pending in several legislatures. You can help by starting chapters of Parents and Students for Academic Freedom in your school and in your state.

"Don't mention God" (ACLJ.org) - that's what a professor told a college student who was writing a paper on religion and its place in government! Now we've learned this student will be penalized and DENIED the appropriate review and grade on her paper - because she mentioned God! The English 101 student, whose name is Bethany, was told she could pick the topic for her quarterly term paper.  She made her choice, and the professor approved - but he also told Bethany not to mention God in the paper. In fact, in an email, he specifically said: "no mention of big 'G' gods, i.e., one, true god argumentation....  perhaps 'Religion has no place in government' would be a more viable and topical subject."
