The late great patriot Maureen Heaton, author of The Impossible Dream, 1990, provided all of us education researchers with the 1972 plan out of California Governor Reagan’s office to “collapse local government”, thereby implementing communist unelected regional government.
Patriots in California, including those working for California State Government, supported Maureen Heaton’s initial exposure of Governor Reagan’s 1972 agenda, and stopped this 1972 plan, only to ultimately have the most important regional government scheme (school choice/charter schools with unelected boards) unconstitutionally piloted in the USA from 1990 to 2018. The axe fell when when President Trump (Mr. Make America Great Again) placed his seal of approval to this unconstitutional system and appointed longtime school choice/charter school proponent, Betsy DeVos, as Secretary of Education, aka Charter School Implementation Commissar).
HISTORY AND DOCUMENTATION TAKEN FROM THE DELIBERATE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA – A CHRONOLOGICAL PAPER TRAIL, 1999
1. EARLY IN 1981 THE PRESIDENT’S TASK FORCE ON PRIVATE SECTOR INITIATIVES WAS installed at 734 Jackson Place, N.W., Washington, D.C. Membership listed on The White House letterhead read like a “Who’s Who” of individuals in government agencies, universities, tax-exempt foundations, non-governmental organizations, business, media, labor unions, and religion. The names of some individuals on the task force follow: William Aramony, president, United Way; The “Effective” Eighties : c. 1981 176 William J. Baroody, Jr., president, American Enterprise Institute; Helen G. Boosalis, mayor, City of Lincoln, Nebraska; Terence Cardinal Cooke, archbishop of New York; Governor Pierre S. Dupont, Delaware; Senator David Durenberger; Luis A. Ferre, former governor of Puerto Rico; John Gardner, chairman, Independent Sector; Edward Hill, pastor, Mt. Zion Baptist Church; Michael S. Joyce, executive director, John M. Olin Foundation; Edward H. Kiernan, president, International Association of Police; Arthur Levitt, Jr., chairman, American Stock Exchange; Richard W. Lyman, president, Rockefeller Foundation; Elder Thomas S. Monson, The Mormon Church; William C. Norris, chairman and CEO, Control Data Corporation; George Romney, chairman, National Center for Citizen Involvement; C. William Verity, Jr., chairman, Armco Steel, Inc.; Jeri J. Winger, first vice president, General Federation of Women’s Clubs; Thomas H. Wyman, president, CBS, Inc.; and William S. White, president, C.S. Mott Foundation.5
This totally new and un-American concept of partnerships between public and private sector has been readily accepted by our elected officials who ignore its roots in socialism and its implications for the discontinuation of our representative form of government and accountability to the taxpayers. Under the “partnership” process, determining responsibility when something goes wrong is like pinning jello to the wall. Such a change in government, if presented in clear language to citizens at the polls, would be rejected. However, when implemented gradually, using the Marxist-Hegelian Dialectic, citizens don’t even notice what is happening. The shift is away from elected representatives. In time, after voters have become even more disenchanted with the candidates and election results, fewer and fewer citizens will vote. At that point a highly-respected member of the public will enter the picture to propose a solution to the problem: some sort of compromise toward parliamentary form of government found in socialist democracies which will be acceptable to Americans unfamiliar with the protections guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. One says to oneself, confidently, “This will never happen.”
Look around you. What do you see? Site-based management in your local schools, transferring decision-making, traditionally exercised by elected school boards, to politically correct appointees and the creation of unelected task forces at all government levels; proposals to “separate school and state” which make no mention of governmental and social structure consequences—efforts to have government money (taxes) pay for services delivered by private religious or homeschools, etc., with no public representation. There can be no accountability to the taxpayers under a system so alien to the United States’ form of representative government. How clean, neat and tidy.
Wholesale destruction of an entire, wonderful system of government without firing a shot. As a U.S. Department of Education liaison with The White House during the early days of this initiative this writer, Charlotte Iserbyt, inquired of one of President Reagan’s political appointees whether this initiative, was not corporate fascism; a politically incorrect question that resulted in someone else replacing me as Liaison with The White House.
2. Read following text from 1984 letter to President Reagan from Willard Garvey of the The Center for Privatization. How do you like the names of organizations, including Heritage Foundation, involved in this privatization treason?
3D, page 202: A letter to President Ronald Reagan was written by Willard W. Garvey, Executive Director of the National Center for Privatization, dated April 6, 1984. An excerpt follows:
“Privatization is now an idea whose time has come… The knowledge, communication and computer industry can make political representatives obsolete. Privatization might well be the theme for the 200th anniversary of the Constitution. Privatization is essential for national salvation.”
The following notation was printed on the letterhead of the above-mentioned letter:
The National Center for Privatization is supported by the following groups and individuals:
Heritage and Reason Foundations; Pacific and Manhattan Institutes; VOLUNTEER; National Center for Citizen Involvement; International Executive Service Corps; United Way with its Services Identification System; National Legal Center for the Public; churches; labor unions, Peter Drucker and Milton Friedman.

4. An article entitled “Industrial Policy Urged for GOP” was published in the the Washington Post on May 14, 1984. Excerpts follow:
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — A conservative study group founded by supporters of President Reagan is about to issue a report that advocates Republicans shed some of their deep-rooted antipathy to a planned economy.
An industrial policy accepted by both political parties and by business and labor is essential to revitalize America’s dwindling clout in the world economy, according to the study’s editor, Professor Chalmers Johnson of the University of California.
“The Industrial Policy Debate” is to be issued today by the Institute for Contemporary Studies, a think-tank founded by presidential counselor Edwin Meese, Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and other Reagan supporters.
“What we are really trying to pose is a serious debate that has become stupidly politicized by both parties,” Johnson said. “We are trying to get the question of an industrial policy for the United States to be taken seriously by people who don’t really believe in it—above all Republicans.
“Americans must come to grips with economic policy or go the way of England. We have probably got a decade before it becomes irreversible.”
In the United States, he said, “The whole topic we are trying to address is so caught up with politics and the particular positions of industries that it is very hard to disentangle what we mean by economic policy.”
While the Democrats are “planning to throw money at the northern Midwest ‘rust’ belt” to get votes, Johnson said many Republicans “are painting themselves into a corner by attacking the very concept of industrial policy—arguing that it violates the sacred principles of private enterprise and free trade.”
He cited as a valid and successful national economic policy “the kind of government business relationship” that has made Japan a leading economic force in the world. “A government- business relationship is needed in a competitive capitalist economy,” he said.
“Reaganomics without an accompanying industrial policy to guide it, has been costly,” Johnson said.
