The system is, above and beyond all else, the priority. In the words of one world futurist, in unpublished papers, people are but atoms in a molecule and radical atoms must be exterminated for the greater good of the collective whole. In other words, those who refuse to conform, refuse to inculcate the wanted behaviors, must be isolated or exterminated for the good of the system.
The first experiments in systems philosophy were, believe it or not, the U.S.S.R. and Nazi Germany. In both, dissidents were incarcerated or exterminated for the greater good of the collective whole. All really does mean all, and all must conform. While education reform advocates disparaged the traditional education system as "homogenous," homogenous is truly a goal of systems education.
Both the U.S.S.R. and Nazi Germany failed, theorists believe, because of the lack of data and the means to analyze it. These same theorists also believed that by the year 2000, technology would be far enough advanced and be fast enough to process large volumes of data accurately in a short period of time. The fallacy, of course, is that technology is the outreach of the fallible human mind.
A parent contacted me one time. Her daughter was having nightmares, something that had never occurred before. I suggested the mother find out what the child was being exposed to in the classroom. The mother did and was shocked to discover her daughter was being subjected to morbid, sordid, sadistic stories intended, specifically, to unfreeze, change and refreeze the child's existing belief system. When the mother confronted the teacher, the teacher's response to her was, "Well, I hope you aren't trying to force your morals, standards and values on your daughter." The teacher was the wife of a pastor. The family subsequently pulled all their children from the public schools and placed them in private schools.
Parents don't want to believe this type of thing is going on in their child's classroom but it is happening in classrooms nation-wide under systems education. Remember, the goal is homogenous children who all display the behaviors deemed necessary to achieve and maintain the sustainable global environment of the "created future."
What is this type of curriculum intended to achieve? A critical thinker. What is a critical thinker? In the words of one critical thinking guru, schools don't want a Naïve Nancy or a Selfish Sam, schools want a Fairminded Fran, someone who thinks right and wrong are situational; what is right today maybe be wrong tomorrow in a different situation; truth is always "in flux" with no absolutes. A Fairminded Fran is a dialectic thinker; someone who truly believes that perception is reality; who runs on feelings rather than cognition.
The dialectic thinker is at the opposite end of the spectrum from a didactic thinker who runs on facts, who believes in absolutes, who believes right and wrong are static, not situational. A dialectic thinker is easily manipulated while a didactic thinker is not; therefore not given to abandoning individual principles for the group principles derived by consensus.
While education reform advocates scoff at the claim that schools are brainwashing children, that is exactly what they are doing. These are the same tactics that Edward Hunter describes in his book, Brainwashing, published in 1958, about the "men who endured and defied the most diabolical red torture" at the hands of Marxists. What is happening in America has a name; it's called transformational Marxism, the quiet atrophy (as opposed to violent overthrow), via gradualism, to the Marxist state. As already apparent in the growing chaos of America, transformational Marxism is the pipe dream of dialectic thinkers.
People wonder why we have kids taking guns to school and killing teachers and other students when, for years, guns hung on gun racks in unlocked pickups in school parking lots with no problem. When a young man walked into Frontier Junior High in Moses Lake, Washington on February 2, 1996, and shot a teacher and two students to death, and injured a third before being subdued by another teacher, I told Washington State legislators then that it was only the beginning. You cannot put children through such a heinous, mind-twisting, unnatural process without a few going off the deep end. It is of note that the Moses Lake School District was one of the schools that participated in the first round of the Schools for the 21st Century pilot project in Washington State.
In Nazi Germany and in the U.S.S.R., under systems education, the same characteristics began to appear in children that are appearing in American children today. It seems we haven't learned much from history. And the awful truth is that left to his own devices, absent God, mankind will self-destruct every time.

Charter schools are the epitome of what Joseph C Fields envisioned when he wrote Total Quality for Schools; A Suggestion for American Education (ASQC Quality Press, 1993),
"Parents supply a resource to which educators apply a variety of processes. These processes include a thirteen-year sequence of assessment to match quality standards to develop a graduate that meets customer requirements." (p 14-15)
"Parents learn that they must provide the best ready-to-learn student possible." (p 22)
"Consider too the parent as 'vendor' of a precious resource, the child. In the internal customer concept, the parent is serving the teacher. Teachers could identify reasonable specifications for parents relative to the home learning environment and certify parents who will cooperate. Guardians and agencies would be included in the assurance of a well-prepared student to inquire, acquire, and require." (page 53)
"Citizens would no more be allowed to put obstacles in the way of public educators than to interfere with public medical, police, or fire protection personnel who are doing their duty. (page 53)
Is it any wonder that Secretary of Education Duncan is pushing charter schools?
Duncan's remarks were made in support of the "Race to the Top" agenda of the occupier of the White House, usurper of the Oval Office. That agenda, however, is not about producing well-educated, intelligent children able to reach for the star or stars of their choice; the agenda is about the deliberate dumbing down of America to the "higher standards" of third world countries.
In order for the United States to coalesce other nations in pursuit of the sustainable global environment, the middle class must be exterminated, leaving the two classes characterizing all third world nations: the elitists who rule with a heavy hand, and the poor who live in squalor with no hope of anything better.
This is the feudal system of the Dark Ages, when ignorance and lack of education kept people repressed, when witchcraft, paganism and Gnosticism permeated the culture just as it is today.
