None
Dare Call It Education: What's Happening to
Our
Schools & Our Children?
by John Stormer
A reader from Illinois, May

A wake-up call for Americans concerning
public education.
This is a must read for all Americans concerned
about our public educational system. It is a real eye-opener revealing
the plans and goals of education "reformers". As stated in their own words,
"we no longer see the teaching of facts and information as the primary
function of education", which is very obvious by the numbers of high school
graduates who can not read, write or do math at an acceptable level. Instead
of the 3R'S, programs such as GOALS 2000, OBE, or STW are all part of the
plan to create "a new social order". Read about how the national health
care plan which was defeated in Congress is finding it's way in the back
door in the form of medicaid reimbursements to school based health clinics.
The signing up of school districts with the promise that "the potential
for dollars is limitless" is being aggressively pursued across the country.
Income eligibility guidelines are being reshaped in some states to include
all children up to the age of 21 no matter what the family income. I fear
in our country, we are like the frog that was placed in lukewarm water
and very slowly the temperature was turned up, lulling him into complacency
until it was too late for him to escape. Over the past 65 years or so there
has been such a gradual change in the goals and philosophy of public education
that we also have been lulled into complacency and fail to see the danger
lurking. I urge concerned citizens to read this book and pass it on to
someone else. Hopefully we will wake up before it's too late and we find
we have no hope of salvaging our education system and most importantly
our children, the future generation.
