School Indoctrination is Nothing New..Planned 100 years ago..

The videos of young school children singing the praises of bho- a narcissistic- progressive-socialist- did not surprise me...
The Dark Side has been at the re- writing of American history and indoctrination in the schools for over a century...
Thus-teachings in the LA schools such as -learning the Koran-and imitating Muslim behavior to breed 'tolerance' for Muslims after 9-11 ----or the expunging of history of the character and vision of the likes of George Washington were overlooked...it was all done under the guise of PC tolerance or just a slow removal of true history...
It was PLANNED:
John Dewey and his 'pals' got together and actually planned the operation...(there were others afterward - but - these were the front-runners--Ayers and Alinsky were to follow)

When I decided to Homeschool my off-spring-it was purely for the pupose of teaching basics like phonics-arithmetic-and logic--
When our off-spring was 8 months old-my husband and I attended our first Homeschoolers Convention...
I was taking care of baby while husband attended an history seminar...
I was surprised when he came to find us-eyes a-glare-arms gesturing...
"Carol, you've got to hear this guy! Either we've been lied to or he's a kook!"
The man was Marshal Foster -Mayflower Institute -
That was the year of 1984--
My 180 turn had begun...
Note:I was a union rep for the Federation of Teachers...
I was pro-death---

Read it and weep
We've been asleep

John Dewey (October 20, 1859 – June 1, 1952) was an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer whose ideas have been very influential. Dewey, along with Charles Sanders Peirce and William James, is recognized as one of the founders of the philosophy of pragmatism and of functional psychology. He was a major representative of the progressive and progressive populist^[1] philosophies of schooling during the first half of the 20th century in the USA.^[2]

Although Dewey is known best for his publications concerning education, he also wrote about many other topics, including experience and nature, art and experience, logic and inquiry, democracy, and ethics.

In his advocacy of democracy, Dewey considered two fundamental elements—schools and civil society—as being major topics needing attention and reconstruction to encourage experimental intelligence and plurality. Dewey asserted that complete democracy was to be obtained not just by extending voting rights but also by ensuring that there exists a fully-formed public opinion, accomplished by effective communication among citizens, experts, and politicians, with the latter being accountable for the policies they adopt......

He was a long-time member of the American Federation of Teachers.

Along with the historian Charles Beard, economists Thorstein Veblen and James Harvey Robinson, Dewey is one of the founders of The New School for Social Research.
