VALUES CLARIFICATION games are very cleverly designed to force children to 'adopt' opinions and defend them in a peer group situation. This imposition goes well beyond dogmatizing children to adopt adolescent ideas because the ideas dogmatized are not those that children of tender age would naturally have.

This is but ONE of the techniques taught to future teachers in the TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS at many/most colleges.

This Values Clarification has been USED IN SCHOOLS FOR YEARS. The HATCH AMENDMENT was put in place to protect children from these types of PSYCHOLOGICAL MANIPULATIONS. The HATCH AMENDMENT gave parents a tool to use against schols/teachers that put their children into psychological exercises WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS' CONSENT OR WRITTEN PERMISSION, subjecting the school/teacher to violation of FEDERAL LAW.

President Reagin was extremely concerned about this, along with Orrin Hatch. Phylis Schlafly of Eagle Forum, testified before congress, along with parents all over the country, concerning these different kinds of "games" that were being forced onto innocent children, from K-12. Another psychological technique used in school is MAGIC CIRCLE. It's goal is to break down the "wall" to a child's "self," and can be used to FORCE a child to SHARE (all kinds of things) in a group setting.

THIS IS DANGEROUS, as children are PROMPTED to speak about what they otherwise wouldn't---and in a group setting.

Teachers are NOT health care officials. They are NOT trained to deal with the resultant TRAUMA to other students that can/does occur when ALL those OTHER children (even 5 year olds) ARE forced to LISTEN to and hear about acts of violence or deviant sexual behaviors that may be occurring in, say, another Kindergartener's home.

The NEA, teachers' unions, colleges which teach future teahcers, JUSTIFY these techniques being used because of the ONE CHILD WHO MAY BE ABUSED at home....

They're on a FISHING EXPEDITION, using children as "bait," if you will.

...a confederacy of deceivers that, to obtain dominion over men in this present world, endeavour, by dark and erroneous doctrines, to extinguish in them the light, both of nature and of the gospel; and so to disprepare them for the kingdom of God to come.
