The United States' failure to educate its students leaves them unprepared to compete and threatens the country's ability to thrive in a global economy and maintain its leadership role, finds a new Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)–sponsored Independent Task Force report on U.S. Education Reform and National Security.

The Task Force includes thirty-one prominent education experts, national security authorities, and corporate leaders who reached consensus on a set of contentious issues.



Fear factory expanding to the classrooms now? :rolleyes:


No? Maybe? Who exactly are these folks? Any takers?

Can't just say national security authorities, and corporate leaders and everyone is just going to be like "Uh...umkay"...I mean look what has happened so far with this corporate merge of power with the state. Who seems to be losing in that scenario? Any guesses? Heck, this is a neocon's dream.

They've confused education with schooling. This country puts too much emphasis on schooling.

If you're goal is to have everyone working in ivory towers with a diploma nailed to the wall, the country will not sustain itself.

The CFR wants school kids to be educated to be good global citizens in the New World Order ruled by the United Nations.

Yep I see it happening too.

Right now they are in the process of making them too dependent on others in this country and abroad. They can get them addicted to student loans, welfare, and foreign products; then they drop the hammer and cause a depression which will give govt more power over them.

Every single thing they are doing is playing a role in this. Foreign policy, welfare, bailouts. They can keep postponing the consequences for a while but it can't last.
