Can She Back Those Statements Up?

The Preface of Deliberate Dumbing Down of America is packed with very important information. In previous posts I have tried to catch the highlights. There is one more section that I would like to share before I move on. In the following quote, Iserbyt makes some very strong even shocking comments. These may seem radical. Now, it is up to us to decide whether her opinion is backed by hard evidence or if it is just a radical theory. Read the following quote and in future posts we will look at the evidence that she has given us to support her theory.

“Ronald Havelock’s change agent in-service training prepared me for what I would find in the U.S. Department of Education when I worked there from 1981–1982. The use of taxpayers’ hard-earned money to fund Havelock’s “Change Agent Manual” was only one out of hundreds of expensive U.S. Department of Education grants each year going everywhere, even overseas, to further the cause of internationalist “dumbing down” education (behavior modification) so necessary for the present introduction of global workforce training. I was relieved of my duties after leaking an important technology grant (computer-assisted instruction proposal) to the press.

Much of this book contains quotes from government documents detailing the real purposes of American education:

• to use the schools to change America from a free, individual nation to a socialist,

global “state,” just one of many socialist states which will be subservient to the

United Nations Charter, not the United States Constitution

• to brainwash our children, starting at birth, to reject individualism in favor of

collectivism

• to reject high academic standards in favor of OBE/ISO 1400/9000 egalitarianism

• to reject truth and absolutes in favor of tolerance, situational ethics and consensus

• to reject American values in favor of internationalist values (globalism)

• to reject freedom to choose one’s career in favor of the totalitarian K–12 school-to-work OBE process, aptly named “limited learning for lifelong labor,” coordinated through United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Only when all children in public, private and home schools are robotized—and believe as one—will World Government be acceptable to citizens and able to be implemented without firing a shot. The attractive-sounding “choice” proposals will enable the globalist elite to achieve their goal: the robotization (brainwashing) of all Americans in order to gain their acceptance of lifelong education and workforce training—part of the world management system to achieve a new global feudalism....

….Just as Barbara Tuchman or another historian would do in writing the history of the other kinds of wars, I have identified chronologically the major battles, players, dates and places. I know that researchers and writers with far more talent than I will feel that I have neglected some key events in this war. I stand guilty on all counts, even before their well-researched charges are submitted. Yes, much of importance has been left out, due to space limitations, but the overview of the battlefields and maneuvers will give the reader an opportunity to glimpse the immensity of this conflict. In order to win a battle one must know who the “real” enemy is. Otherwise, one is shooting in the dark and often hitting those not the least bit responsible for the mayhem. This book, hopefully, identifies the “real” enemy and provides Americans involved in this war—be they plain, ordinary citizens, elected officials, or traditional teachers—with the ammunition to fight to obtain victory.” (Preface; xix-xxi)
