\u201cGentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about Glasnost

\u201cThe argument that the two parties should represent
\nopposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the
\nother of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to
\ndoctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties
\nshould be almost identical, so that the American people
\ncan \u2018throw the rascals out\u2019 at any election without leading
\nto any profound or extensive shifts in policy.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America \u2014 A Chronological Paper Trail”, will change forever the way you look at your child’s education. Written by whistleblower Charlotte T. Iserbyt, it is the result of what she discovered while working in the US Department of Education and her subsequent research on the subject. First published in 1999, the original edition of the book contains 743 pages replete with documentation of the policies, conversations and events that led up to the way our educational system is run today.<\/p>\n

“Exposing the Global Road to Ruin Through Education” is an 8-DVD\/CD Set containing speeches and round tables featuring Charlotte Iserbyt with some of the country’s foremost education researchers. It covers everything from one teacher’s experiences in the globally-controlled classroom, to a speech by Rosa Koire, author of “Behind the Green Mask”. Koire spoke on the dangers of regionalism. Regionalism is the path to globalism, and an attempt to replace local control and influence every aspect of our lives.<\/p>\n

Predictions made in this book \u2014 “Back to Basics Reform or OBE Skinnerian International Curriculum” \u2014 published in 1985, 1993, and 2004, have come true. The book \u2014 which spells out clearly how OBE, Goals 2000, No Child Left Behind, and School-to-Work would be implemented \u2014 was boycotted by major conservative organizations. Read it and ask yourself “Why?” The book has sold 50,000 copies to grassroots organizations.<\/p>\n

“Soviets in the Classroom” \u2014 first published in 1989 \u2014 is an important piece of work which outlines the agreements made between our government and the Soviets with regard to education. Included is a timeline starting from the 1930s on, which lists important events related to this transformation.<\/p>\n
