Reform Education?

"We have a great school, there is nothing wrong with our school, none of that goes on like that in our schools."

Does this sound familiar to you? If so read the book titled The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America. In that book you will see the chronological paper trail of Education in America. On page 194 you will see the following: "THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FUNDED TWO IMPORTANT PROJECTS IN 1983: 1) 'FRAMING A FUTURE FOR EDUCATION' for Kansas; and 2) 'Strategic Planning and Furthering Excellence in Millard Public Schools' for Nebraska, both of which were assigned to Dr. Shirley McCune of the MidContinent Regional Educational Laboratory (McREL) as project director. These two projects, based on the work of the New Age Naisbitt Group founded by John Naisbitt who authored Megatrends, served as national pilots for OBE restructuring of America from a 'representative democracy' to a 'participatory democracy -- moving from a left versus right politics to a 'politicis of the radical center,' in Dr. McCune's words. McCune became famous (or infamous) during the National Governors' Association conference in Wichita, Kansas in 1989 when she said: What we are into is the total restructuring of society. What is happening in America today and what is happening in Kansas and the Great Plains is not simply a chance situation in the usual winds of change. What it amounts to is a total transformation of society... Our total society is in a crisis of restructuring and you can't go into government or into business and hide from the fact that what we are facing is the total restructuring of our society." THIS IS A MUST READ BOOK!
