United Nations Agenda 21 comes to Texas Textbooks
(Hearings in Austin, Sept 6)
"Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world has ever experienced - a major shift in the priorities of both governments and individuals and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources." Daniel Sizarz, Editor of the UN-approved abridged version of Agenda 21”
For those of you not familiar with this global socialists' agenda briefly it is an official adopted agenda by the UN and signed on to by the United States. It seeks to control every aspect of our lives from where we live to what we think to what we hear, all under the auspices of “saving the planet.” Brilliant plan if you support global governance and adhere to socialism. This is not a conspiracy theory folks – it’s a conspiracy all right but it’s no theory. Check it out here: Agenda21text
Implementation has been in process for a number of years. In the United States, the “programme” is called the “Presidents Council on Sustainable Development.” In other countries the “programmes” have different names. The UN keeps a chart of where each nation is in the implementation process.
And most important to the “programme” of course, is educating our children so that when the time comes (if it hasn’t already) they will not only accept socialism but embrace it in it’s new world government form in lieu of our national sovereignty. Check the education section under the above link – you will be appalled.
Now look at the textbook review links for textbooks proposed for adoption NOW in the state of Texas. It doesn’t take long to see that the curriculum matches the UN marching orders. This is nothing new. Many have even been aware that Agenda 21 was infiltrating our textbooks but it just wasn’t bad enough for people to take action. Well it is time for action NOW, if it isn’t too late. The agenda is so obvious in the textbooks reviewed that it is not even arguable.
If these textbooks are adopted by the Texas State Board of Education(SBOE) your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews will not only NOT resist socialism they will embrace it as the only way to “sustain” the earth.(And Texas orders so many textbooks that publishers look to Texas to determine what they offer other states.)
Oh yes, and the "profound reorientation" referred to above includes managing sexual behavior, population growth etc. A link in one of the textbooks takes the child to a listing of “Non-governmental organization” links and governmental links including the United Nations and Agenda 21. The first link is one of which is called Youth Action. Under the guise of environmental teaching this website teaches sexual education the way the UN wants it taught.
I might also point out (that while I can’t confirm this for ALL the NGOs listed) many of these so called “non-profit” environmental groups get money from the EPA or money laundering “non-profit” agencies. I’ve traced the money on a couple of them.
Now, the question becomes, even if we rid these books of this UN trash and we still have web site links how do we insure the information taught our children conforms to state law? We don’t and that is something that also needs change in the process.
What about State Law? State law doesn’t seem to be worth a flip. Why? Look at what the Texas Education Code says about factual errors and conforming curriculum. Chap. 31.002 requires the SBOE to adopt rules to provide for a full and complete investigation of textbooks for each subject. If you choose to read these reviews you will ask yourself how complete has the investigation been. In addition, state law requires that publishers’ or manufacturers’ offers in the state must be free of factual errors. This obviously didn’t happen.
Chap. 29.002 also states that the SBOE and each school district shall foster the continuation of the tradition of teaching the United States and Texas history and the free enterprise system. It goes on to say that a primary purpose of public school curriculum is to prepare thoughtful, active citizens who understand the importance of patriotism and can function productively in a free enterprise society with appreciation for the basic democratic values of our state and national heritage.
Sound like something from 100 years ago? That’s because IT IS NOT being implemented and hasn’t been for years. Quite the contrary. To paraphrase, the Addison Wesley textbooks tell students that the main reason for starving people is the free enterprise system and part of the reason are advancements in technology.
The text goes on. What worldview do you think a future voter will hold if he buys into these two causes as being the causes of world starvation? What sort of elected officials do you think he would vote for? And, is this Environmental Science? Or is it more “Worldview Indoctrination”?
And this is what my taxpayer dollars go to – to fund green organizations, non-governmental organizations and the United Nations to brainwash our kids??? I wonder how many of my dollars have been spent and how many years taxpayers have been paying the salaries of eco-terrorists who would subvert our national sovereignty and set the stage for “profound reorientation” of our minds? No Telling.
No folks this is not black helicopter stuff - it’s real! And it is not even very cleverly disguised. Read the reviews for yourself. These four textbooks alone have more than 90 plus pages of errors. Individual reviewers have found more.

The TEA and the SBOE have consented now to take a “vote” to see if they will let testimony occur.. This will happen the morning of Thursday 6th. The “deadline” occurred over a month ago. You see the “notification” process is carefully crafted to meet the requirements of law but somehow ordinary citizens don’t get notified.
Please, if you can testify, read the links. No guarantees, depending on the “vote” to let us private citizens be heard but at least come and show you support by taking back our education agenda from un-elected bureaucrats and non-governmental organizations.
The State board of Education does have some authority left and that includes voting to scrap these textbooks and start over. There needs to be fair and open public participation and adherence to the Texas Education Code with respect to required curriculum –not with respect to the United Nations Agenda or that of corrupt elected officials.
And one more fairly major point – textbook publisher “write to” Texas and California because we are the largest consumers of textbooks. If we can get this trash trashed in Texas, it will potentially impact every textbook sold in the nation! Now that is getting a big bang for your buck.
Come on Texas FReepers – we need a show of support for OUR laws, OUR sovereignty, and the allocation of OUR tax dollars.
SHOW UP!!!!!!
Thursday September 6th 2001 State Board of Education - Room 1-104 William B. Travis Building 1701 North Congress Avenue Austin, TX
