Our new national curriculum? Brainwashing and propaganda
DailyMail.com ^ | 11/2/2017 | Peter Hitchens

Posted on 12/04/2017 7:45:13 AM PST by Nextrush

Our education system teaches the young what to think, not how to think. And if you wonder why so many things don't work properly any more, or why you can't get any sense out of so many organizations, this is one of the main reasons.

.... it's also getting harder and harder to think or say certain things. This week I experienced this mixture of brainwashing and propaganda.....

I was sent a rather sinister questionnaire given to new arrivals at a secondary school.....

It is not anonymous, but it seeks, in a slippery, sideways manner, to discover what the children involved think about immigration.

The cleverest question asks 11-year olds to say why they think there is a shortage of jobs for younger people. One answer on the multiple-choice form is 'competition from international applicants'....

....also invited to say how much they agree or disagree with the statement 'immigration is bad for the country'......

....I agree very strongly with the parent who sent this to me because she thought it was sinister probing into the minds of children, and also into her own opinions, none of the business of the school or the State.

Might some little symbol be placed against the name of any pupil who answered in the wrong way? Might it affect that pupil's future and the attitude of the school towards the parents? If not, what is the educational purpose of this?.......

...I went to speak at Balliol College in Oxford about the restoration of grammar schools, I was met by a smallish, silent crowd holding up placards objecting to my presence there.

Judging from the righteous looks on their faces, they knew they were right....

I was handed two sheets of paper in which I was thoroughly denounced and hugely misrepresented as 'Transphobic' and 'homophobic'....

Common Core. The death of our children. I am glad my kids are grown up, but my grandkids have to live in this dump of a world. I so worry about them when we are gone on to Glory with our LORD.

psy·cho·sis
sīˈkōsəs/
noun
  1. a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality.
  2.  
  3. [The Architects of Western Decline:
  4. A Study on the Frankfurt School and Cultural Marxism]
  5.  


"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.
 
Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion.  Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science.  Members of parliament, representatives of business circles. 
 
Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups:  those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation;  [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.  "
--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov
--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)
 
 


Luke 17:1-4

7 Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. 2 It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. 3 So watch yourselves.

"If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. 4 If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him."

NIV

We’ve had intrusive pubic school student surveys here for many years, usually run by universities. Very intrusive, with questions about alcohol, drugs, parental treatment, guns, religion.

American educators are now mostly (often unknowingly, well indoctrinated) social Marxists, with a firm agenda. Ask one to read aloud a couple chapters from ‘The American Citizens Handbook’ (published by the NEA from 1941 to 1969). They’ll scan its words and bluntly refuse, probably drop it like it was burning them. Rumor is the last 10,000 copies were buried in a NY landfill.

The Frankfurt School and its minions were/are a primary source of our schools’ poisoning.

To collect student papers with no names signed, all you need is a seating chart and to collect it with a pattern.

Duh.

I take a Spanish course at a senior center where many of my fellow students are retired teachers, mainly liberal to be sure, but ALL of whom HATE common core.

We have teachers, active and retired, in our Church. They hate it with a passion.

I’d be in church or synagogue if I could find one that approximated my values. Seemingly harder by the day.

Thanks for your service.

Yes, it is getting harder and harder to find a good, Bible believing church, with a decent pastor to lead the flock. Thankfully, we have such a church here in NE Alabama. Our pastor is in his late 60s, and can preach the pages off the Bible. He is outstanding. My Sunday school Bible study teacher is a wonderful teacher and our back up is outstanding also. Our church is A+, that I can assure you. If anyone here, who might live in NE Alabama, in the counties of Etowah, Cherokee, St. Clair, Calhoun, Cleburne, or Talladega, you can drive to our church on Sundays. I would drive 50 miles to church if that is what it took on Sunday mornings and night and Wednesday evenings. If you live in this area, contact me through the email here and I will discuss our church with you.

That’s a fine offer RA. Thanks so much. Unfortunately though, I live in the West.

I do go back to NW South Carolina once or twice a year visiting daughter & granddaughter and have gone to some great churches there.

‘Got as close to you as Stone Mountain near Atlanta last time out.

Thanks for that offer, as you make it sound outstanding. Should I ever get down in your neck of the woods, I’ll surely give you a shout-out.

Praise God!

My wife is from Seattle. I retired in Bremerton, WA after the Army. I lived in that hell hole for 15 years. My wife retired from Bank of America, then we came home here to Alabama. My advice my friend, move down here. You will like it much much better. I hardly voted out in WA state. It was mostly liberal cows running for the elections. A few republicans ran in my area and I voted for them. Heck, even most of the RINOs out there are liberal. Now we are back here in the most conservative state in the nation, Alabama. Home and free at last!!! Come on down.
