Government Printing High School Textbooks.

I couldn't decide whether to put this is the NWO forum of here, but anyway...

This is a long read, but a good one:

Why Is The Government Printing Textbooks?

When this textbook looks at the Bill of Rights, those ten amendments that are the very heart of the protections extended to individual American citizens, insuring that government cannot run rampant over them, neither the Second Amendment, nor the Ninth or Tenth are even mentioned!

You read that quote correctly. In case you don't feel like reading the entire thread, it basically talks about this new textbook being part of the federally mandated curriculum for high school students nation-wide.

I highly encourage you to read the whole thread (at least the first few articles). I am stunned. It looks like the next step toward global government is by teaching our kids a dumbed-down version of American History (and leaving out parts of it altogether), that way the new generations will be less likely to be upset about losing all those constitutional rights they never were taught.

To be honest i am really not suprised. They government will make the pupils learn unuseful stuff that will get them in to a simple job, its all part of there brainwash trechniques. But there are a few exceptional people (everyone on ATS) that will get past there barrier. This is no surprise to many but just a reminder.

That don't teach you anything in school anymore, and if they do its not like they accually listen...It's all about the sports or social activity, they need stricter learning laws.

i dont know about anyone else but i graduated from highschool about four years ago and out a graduating class of about 700 only about 50-100 were actually trying to do great in school...all the others were either on the edge of failing or just doing enough not to fai (many were just copying off of other who happened to do their work that day). Whats sadis this was one of the best High School in theS.E. If this is some kind of government plan to brainwash the children they picked a really bad and tough way to do it since most kids dont really do their work anyways.

Let me make this as clear as I can. The federal government has no business in determining the curriculum of this nation�s schools! It especially has no business underwriting the publication of a book that deliberately subverts key elements of the US Constitution.

I definitely agree with the above statement. I mean, how obvious can they get? So much for trying to make it look like they aren't attempting to turn us all into robots! This is just one more step away from the 'truth', and is one of many steps to be taken.

I think it's been made quite clear by the new standards schools have already adopted (over a relatively short period of time?) that things will not get better and that the apathy of the people makes this easy for the 'Elite Power' to do.


I've moved several times, and have noticed that, while each school is different they are all units of the collective and each show the same characteristics: complete lack of proper discipline, apathy from students and teachers alike, worsening social division and collective ignorance of students, systems already in place amplifying 'importance' of sports instead of learning, sources presented to students/teachers are not even adequate in quantity, etc. (One could obviously go on for a very long time.)

Although the structure in schools is crumbling (and has been), there is still some hope because there are many people who really are trying to teach kids, yet these many (or very few?) caring people who do not consider students to be merely drones with numbers to be punched into the system, merely the fuel which pushes cash into their pockets, are being taken advantage of and oppressed because the government does not even wish the actual 'revamp'ing of the educational system as they want complete control over the chaos and -less- actual education of students.

In 2001, President George W. Bush worked with U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy to pass the federal "No Child Left Behind" legislation, which includes provisions for expanding school-based mental health programs. This fits with the report of The New Freedom in Mental Health Commission, which stressed that "schools must be partners in the mental health care of our children."
___________________________________________________________
Relevant to this, Clinton administration official Mary Jo Bane said almost 30 years ago that "in order to raise children with equality, we must take them away from families and communally raise them." (TULSA SUNDAY WORLD, August 21, 1977) And about that same time, HEW Executive Assistant Eddie Bernice Johnson (who would later become a Congresswoman from Texas) advocated the licensing of parents before they would be permitted to have children. Licensing of parents has also been proposed by Prof. Gene Stephens (THE FUTURIST, April 1981) and Dr. Jack Westman (LICENSING PARENTS, 1994).


Under the American socialism planned for our future, government will increasingly control our lives via mental health screening and education, among other means. Only if the American people resist these efforts as soon as possible will we be successful in thwarting the plans of the power elite.

And this . . . Another way to control students, and so subtely implimented by Bush and previous administrations while preaching that the USA needs to further the education of students! "No Child Left Behind" is just another way of saying "No Child Left To Lash Out Against The Government" and the detaching of children from their families, where schools will take students' raising into their -own- hands, is another way to say that they think The People are too -Incompetent- for such things. Suppose many of them are. But does this mean that the government is any better a 'parent'? Diversity comes from these different up-bringings. If the government raises our children . . . Where will the diversity be--surely not in these newly written, "dumbed-down" versions of history or whatever subject you want to think of--not in the controlling of the thoughts and expectations of The People.

I think that's all I have to saaaaaay. I'm um, not good at making really coherent posts, so feel free to help, um, broaden it, etc! Hope that was an alright view.

Uh... I am in tenth grade and I looked at my high-school text-book and I definiatly saw the ninth, second, and tenth ammendment. >_>.

never mind that last comment. I think that this needs to be stopped, because it'll just ensure all of those that arent informed to be stupid when it comes to going to a trial, and also they don't know their rights. That's very bad, and it got me mad thinking about why they would do such a thing, especially in this period of time. If some group like the NWO came into power, then it would be more then neccessary to keep the right to bare arms, and the 9th and 10th ammendment. Without these in place then those people have as much as rights without the constitution. Plus it said that federalism is a place where the federal branch and the states distribute the workload, which is entirely false within a that; considering that in a federal government, all of the power is given to the states. I feel that this is an extreme violation against everyone when it comes to that this is the most obvious propeganda I've ever seen. I think the NWO might be preparing now, not good.

to bad for them i never read the text books


hehe

Lol, yeah. Teachers either completely rely on the textbook or do all their teaching from their something else, only turning to the books at rare times due to requisites of curriculum.

The reason the government prints the textbooks is because of cost savings (okay, I know you guys went to school -- but you never sat on your local textbook committees, obviously.) Without the subsidies, the texts are a lot more expensive and school districts can't afford that kind of a budget.

In case you didn't notice, the budget has been hammered to feed Bush's policies and tax cuts.

The textbooks have to meet certain standards -- it's an interesting process.

Why don't you all start getting involved in things like this? I can tell that the writer of the article doesn't know a lot about the subject... and it's a shame that you went along with his biased views.

Kinda like 1984, where no authors are needed--machines print the books.

I might also add that the existence of a federal Department of Education is unconstitutional.
