Selected Quote from the Book:

=====

Among the elementary measures the American Soviet government will adopt to further the cultural revolution are the following;

The schools, colleges, and universities will be coordinated and grouped under the National Department of Education and its state and local branches. The studies will be revolutionized, being cleansed of religious, patriotic, and other features of the bourgeoisie (middle class) ideology. The students will be taught on the basis of Marxian dialectical materialism, internationalism, and the general ethics of the new socialist society."

Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld continues to warn of the revolutionary effects of progressive education.


Author Warns of Schoolhouse "Revolution" (http://thenewamerican.com/culture/education/7066-author-warns-of-schoolhouse-revolution)


The federal government is now spending close to $70 billion a year to support a criminal enterprise in America, said Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld (http://www.howtotutor.com/sam-bks.htm), an educational consultant and author of Revolution via Education And Other Essays (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1891375253/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=libert0f-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1891375253). The "criminal enterprise" of which he speaks is the American public school system and $70 billion is the annual budget of the U.S. Department of Education. Speaking before about 20 people at a John Birch Society breakfast meeting at the Common Man Restaurant in Concord, NH Saturday morning, Blumenfeld counted a number of crimes being committed in the name of education in America, starting with treason.

To make his point, the author reached back nearly three full decades to the report in 1983 of the National Commission on Excellence in Education, which told of a "rising tide of mediocrity" that had engulfed American education, a tide so devastating in its effects that, in the words of the report: "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."

2011 - American Education Fails Because It Isn't Education (http://www.thenewamerican.com/opinion/967-tom-deweese/7097-american-education-fails-because-it-isnt-education)

The problem with education isn’t low-paid teachers and crowded classrooms — instead, it is the result of a cynical, deliberate attempt to dumb-down America to promote a radical political agenda. by Tom DeWeese

2010 - How the Progressives Changed the Way Reading Is Taught in Our Schools (http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/opinion/sam-blumenfeld/5403-how-the-progressives-changed-the-way-reading-is-taught-in-our-schools)

Many parents wonder why American primary schools don’t teach children to read in the proper phonetic manner. The answer is that high literacy is not part of the system’s social or academic agenda. by Sam Blumenfeld

2011 - Whole Language: Educational Tool of Humanist Radicals (http://thenewamerican.com/opinion/sam-blumenfeld/7131-whole-language-educational-tool-of-humanist-radicals)

The ultimate goal of the Whole Language movement — described by its promoters as “nothing short of a grass-roots revolution in education” — is the replacement of our biblically based Christian civilization by a pagan, socialist, world government. by Sam Blumenfeld

2011 - The Great American Math Disaster (http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/opinion/sam-blumenfeld/6399-the-great-american-math-disaster)

American children are no longer being taught arithmetic, which deals with quantity, in public schools, but instead they are taught math, which includes more than our simple counting system based on Arithmetic. by Sam Blumenfeld

2011 - Book Review: The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America (http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/reviews/books/6204-the-deliberate-dumbing-down-of-america)

Charlotte Iserbyt has put her great exposé of the dumbing-down agenda of American education on the Internet, so that anyone can now read it and download it free of charge. The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America is a big book and so very important that anyone interested in the future of this country must read it. I wrote a Foreword for the book that basically explains what Charlotte achieved by her incredible research based on documents she took out of the files of the Department of Education in Washington, where she worked as a Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) during the first Reagan administration. She is the consummate whistleblower, with an overwhelming sense of responsibility as a public servant and a parent. by Sam Blumenfeld
