and those unforgettable public school teachers (of a forgotten era) who taught me to read with phonics and write in cursive

It is easier to believe a credible lie than an incredible truth.

Progressive utopians are criminals! They are genocidal psychopaths who have killed more human beings in the last one hundred years than any other ideologues in history. They dont limit their murder just to individuals, but to entire nations, as in National Socialist Germanys war of extermination against the Jews, the Soviet Unions war against anticommunists, Cambodias slaughter of the educated middle class, and communist Chinas cultural war. And all of this was done in the name of creating a new, utopian society. In the United States the socialist utopians adopted a new and unique method of conquering a nation: by dumbing down its people, by destroying the brainpower of millions of its citizens.

The plan to dumb down America was launched in 1898 by socialist John Dewey, outlined in an essay titled The Primary-Education Fetich. They cant read their nations Constitution or its Declaration of Independence. They cant even read their high school diplomas.

The method of achieving this was by simply changing the way children are taught to read in their schools. The utopians got rid of the traditional intensive phonics method of instruction and imposed a look-say, sight, or whole-word method that forces children to read English as if it were Chinese. The method is widely in use in todays public schools, which is why there are so many failing public schools that cannot teach children the basics. This can only be considered a blatant and evil form of child abuse.

And this abuse escapes detection because of the cleverness and deception of its perpetrators. In his 1898 essay, Dewey warned his colleagues about being too hasty in carrying out the plan. He wrote, Change must come gradually. To force it unduly would compromise its final success by favoring a violent reaction.

In other words, deception would have to be used in order for this long-range, complex plan to be successfully implemented. Educators learned quickly how to deceive trusting parents and taxpayers and how to manipulate politicians. They also knew that the children would be powerless to resist their abuse. And teachers have been taught to blame academic failure on the children, not themselves. Indeed, many of them revel in the idea that they are transforming America to suit their own social fantasies.

Of course, most teachers are unaware that they are complicit in this evil conspiracy. They simply do what they were taught to do by their professors of education. Few become aware that their professors deceived them and prepared them to create failure. Most of these teachers are as much victims of the system as the students they are teaching.

The purpose of this book is to expose the kind of crimes that are being committed every day against American children and the nation in the name of education. Most parents trust the public schools because they are supposed to represent the cherished values of our democratic republic. But the unhappy truth is that todays public schools have rejected the values of the Founding Fathers and adopted values from nineteenth-century European social utopians that completely contradict our own concepts of individual freedom. And they have invented new values under the umbrella of social justice in order to advance society toward their idea of moral perfection.

What are the crimes being perpetrated by the educators against America and its children? The first, most serious crime is treason. In April 1983, the National Commission on Excellence in Education said in its final report, A Nation at Risk: If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war. As it stands, we have allowed this to happen to ourselves.

In other words, our educators are engaged in a deliberate dumbing down of America. They are sabotaging the intellectual growth of our children and depriving Americans of the most productive use of their own lives. This is a criminal act of war against the American people and should be called what it is: treason.

The deliberate dumbing down of an entire nation is genocidal in its impact on that nations culture and intellectual future. No group of educators should have been permitted to impose on American schools a program that is the antithesis of true education. But when deception is practiced on a scale that is beyond public understanding, it becomes a crime as specific as perjury under oath.

A second serious crime is child abuse by deliberately inflicting physical harm on a childs brain by using teaching methods designed to produce dyslexia and learning disabilities. Brain scans now prove beyond a doubt that the sight, or whole-word, method of teaching reading creates dyslexia and functional illiteracy by forcing children to use their right brains to perform the functions designed for their left brains. Deliberately impairing a childs brain ought to be a punishable offense.

A third serious crime is contributing to the delinquency of a minor by teaching pornographic sex education and alternative lifestyles that lead to premarital sex, venereal disease, depression, emotional crises, and unwanted pregnancies. More children are now born out of wedlock than ever before, creating one of Americas most serious social problems. More American children are living in poverty because their parents have adopted an irresponsible lifestyle based on secular-humanist morality.

A fourth serious crime is destroying a childs belief in biblical religion, a moral and spiritual crime that leads children into atheism, nihilism, secular humanism, and satanism, all of which can result in self-destructive, murderous behavior. School shootings, massacres, arson, teen suicide, student depression, and self-destructive behavior are the results of a school curriculum that denies the existence of God, His loving protection, and life with a purpose.

A fifth serious crime is pushing psychiatric drugs on millions of children by requiring them to take such powerful, mind-altering stimulants as Ritalin or Adderall to alleviate such school-induced disorders as attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These drugs are as potent as cocaine and have even caused sudden death among teen athletes.

A sixth serious crime is extortion, committed when educators defraud taxpayers of billions of dollars in the name of school improvement and reform that never take place. Instead, these educators use the money to buy more miseducation. The present reform movement promotes the implementation of Common Core State Standards, which will not improve education but cost the taxpayers billions of dollars. You cannot have high standards without high literacy, and high literacy is not a goal of the new curriculum.

How do you deal with such criminality? First you have to make the public aware that it exists. Then you must make your political leaders aware of what is going on in the schools. Most political leaders wear blinders when dealing with education. For example, when it comes to reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, our Washington legislators tinker with its many titles in the hope that somehow education can be improved. But what they fail to understand is that what goes on in the schools is based on an agenda that progressive utopians put in place decades ago and have no intention of deviating from. Only a massive outcry by an awakened public will force our state and national legislators to recognize the crimes taking place in the name of education and put a stop to them.
