Who Controls Our Children ? (Public Education Dumb Down Kids Deliberately) While parents, schools, provinces and states across North America bicker about the democratic process of running public schools, forces are ... all » manipulating education from behind the scenes. Major international players are reshaping public education to suit their own self-serving agendas, without regard for the wants of parents and the welfare of their children. This video lecture documents how today's educational system dumb down kids deliberately, making zombie-like people who don't ask any questions but just follow orders.

Sounds like the DNC's younger brother.

Excellent post. This video shows why millions of child loving parents are now homeschooling their children.

Even without seeing the video, this has been going on for decades - at least four or five of them. Read, “The NEA, Trojan Horse in American Education”, by Samuel L. Blumenfeld, l984. Tells the entire story. We are witnessing the results today.

That video is 15 years old. Surely things have improved in the meantime. </sarcasm>

I found that even with my short attention span that it was a riveting look at outcome based education.

Wow. I don’t know if anyone’s watched to the 11th minute, but the part about the EQA test and the correct answers is frightening.

It may be long, but if you have school age kids, you need to watch it. I just let it play in a separate window while I did other work and listened to it (you don’t have to actually watch it).

ADS IS a bitch. It’s what’s wrong with this country and why we’ll probably fail as a nation. Short attention spans and Paris Hilton. Ye gods.

If you can handle 5 1/2 minutes, try this:

Come on, man. An hour in internet time is like three months. And if it’s spent on watching, per another commenter, a fifteen year old video, that’s so last century.

News flash — public education sucks. Avoid it like the plague for you and your’n. Class dismissed.
