Charlotte T. Iserbyt has compiled a list of patriots, from many walks of life and professions, many of whom have passed on, and those still with us, all of whom she feels deserve recognition for their efforts in educating the public on the preservation of the United States Constitution and The Republic for which it stands. Educators are noted by an asterisk *.

We would like to mention several thousand patriot Americans who funded National Citizens Alliance full-page advertisement in Washington Times which called for/supported cancellation of 1985 United States-Soviet Union (Reagan/Gorbachev) education, cultural, and everything else agreements.

This page is a work in progress. We hope to add links to each of the names, so that you might further explore the work of these patriots. If you feel there is a name missing from these lists, a misplaced name, or you would like your name removed, please email info@deliberatedumbingdown.com

CAREER U.S. AMBASSADORS, FOR WHOM ISERBYT WORKED:

Richard B. Parker, U.S. Ambassador, Near Eastern Affairs
Edward L. Waggoner, U.S. Ambassador, Near Eastern Affairs
Douglas MacArthur II, U.S. Ambassador to Belgium

He was captured by the Japanese and held in a prison camp for 2-3 years until the end of the war when he was assigned to General Douglas MacArthur’s headquarters in Tokyo. He returned to the USA in the late forties and I believe he started writing his bi-monthly newsletter in the early fifties and continued until his passing away in the 1990s. His wife was known to us as Ginny Bell.

Bessie Burchett* (“Education for Destruction” 1941)
Extraordinary and courageous self-published exposé of how communists infiltrated public education in the nineteen thirties and forties written in 1941 by Bessie Burchett, Ph.D. Head of the Department of Foreign Languages, S. Philadelphia Public School for Girls. This is an absolutely fascinating book which, if possible, rivals that of Major George Racey Jordan, also included on this website. Burchett even includes a photo of poster on a classroom wall with USSR printed on it. She goes into great detail regarding the beginning of sex education, the questioning of right and wrong by students, the anti-American bias in the curriculum. She, of course, suffered the wrath of the radicals up against whom she went. A must read for everyone, but for teachers especially!

It was during that training (change agent used Havelock’s Innovations in Education, A Change Agent’s Guide ) that Iserbyt was instructed in “how to identify the resisters in community; resisters to all the rot” and how to get them on board. She is probably the most important person in the “education of Charlotte” in the “miseducation of America”.]

Have you ever heard of any of these late great researchers/writers/activists in the mainstream media? A JoAnn Abrigg, Cong. John Ashbrook, Don Bell, Marilyn Boyer, O. Jerome (Jed) Brown, Shirley Correll, Bettina Dobbs, Norman Dodd, Ruth Feld, Ann Frazier, Rosalind Haley, Maureen Heaton, Jo Hindman, Mary Larkin, Betty Lewis, Gene Malone, Robert Morris, Arch Roberts, Elisabeth Russinoff, Antony Sutton, James Townsend, and Joan Veon.

To clarify the problem with ‘choice’:

Excerpt from Don Bell Report (Ginny Baker Texas contribution): “The Interagency Day Care Standards,”, 1971, states that “Any agency, public or private, which receives federal funds directly or indirectly through a grant or contract… or by way of a voucher plan” must meet all program requirements (ed) that are set down for public schools. Acceptance of Federal funds is an agreement to abide by the requirements.

Then, in 1981 the American Legislative Exchange Council, formed by Paul Weyrich (“We are radicals who want to change the existing power structure. We are not conservatives…”), mailed to 16,000 state and federal officials and legislators, a suggested educational voucher. Thomas A. Shannon, Executive Director of the National School Boards Association, said, “Tuition Tax credits for private schools profoundly change the character of private education. Private schools that operate with public money will be subject to public regulations.”
