The afterword, glossary, resources, appendices and index have all been removed from the 2011 version. Of utmost importance is the addition of &#8220;Update&#8221; which covers the final, but long-planned, institutionalization, since publication of the original book in 1999, of three activities, relatively new to the reader: (1) the use of unconstitutional tax-supported (public\/private partnership) charter schools run by unelected boards. These schools use non-graded Skinnerian computer instruction to train for the planned economy (school to work); (2) global values-changing education, including International Baccalaureate programs and (3) restructuring of our nation&#8217;s representative governmental structure, using regionalism (socialism) with its unelected councils (soviets), and communitarianism.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Deliberate-Dumbing-Abridged-Charlotte-2011-05-03\/dp\/B01FGMTF02\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Purchase at Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/DeliberateDumbingDownOfAmericaCharlotteIserbyt\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read online at Archive.org<\/a> &#8211; you can flip pages, enlarge type.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download the PDF (7.4 MB)<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/deliberatedumbingdown.com\/ddd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DDDoA.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America: A Chronological Paper Trail (1999-09-01) by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Download the PDF Update (less than 1 MB)<\/strong>: IMPORTANT!
