Excerpts follow:<\/p>\n<ul><em>I am convinced that the battle for humankind\u2019s future must be waged and won in the<br \/>\npublic school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a<br \/>\nnew faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects the spark of what theologians<br \/>\ncall divinity in every human being.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>These teachers must embody the same selfless dedication as the most rabid fundamentalist<br \/>\npreachers, for they will be ministers of another sort, utilizing a classroom instead of a<br \/>\npulpit to convey humanist values in whatever subjects they teach, regardless of the education<br \/>\nlevel\u2014preschool day care or a large university.<\/em><br \/>\n<em><br \/>\nThe classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the<br \/>\nnew\u2014the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with all its adjacent evils and misery, and<br \/>\nthe new faith of Humanism, resplendent in its premise of a world in which the never-realized<br \/>\nChristian idea of \u201clove thy neighbor\u201d will finally be achieved.<\/em><\/ul>\n<p>Take a look at the chart below entitled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usgovernmentspending.com\/breakdown\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;US Government Spending Breakdown: Federal, State, Local for 2015 &#8211; Charts.&#8221;<\/a> Total Federal, State and Local education spending = $0.9 trillion dollars, of which $141 billion is federal funding.  Defense Department spending, in contrast, is $0.8 trillion dollars.

This is a fact due to tax-funded school choice and charter schools (without elected boards) being carved in stone  by President Trump, his  Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, and approved by the U.S. Congress.     Implementation of the lifelong learning\/school to work agenda  required removal of locally elected school board members. Locally elected boards would never have allowed such a shift from academics to workforce training.  <\/p>\n<p>Not allowing taxpayers  to vote on education, the biggest budget item, is the first domino to fall, followed by not allowing us to vote on other budget items all the way down to the  salary for your town&#8217;s dog catcher.<\/p>\n<p>Didn&#8217;t Americans fight the American Revolution over the issue of taxation without representation?  <\/p>\n<p>Here is the plan out of the mouth of a so-called libertarian\/conservative leader:<\/p>\n<p>Willard W. Garvey, Executive Director of the National Center for Privatization, in a letter to President Ronald Reagan, date April 6, 1984, said:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Privatization is now an idea whose time has come&#8230;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.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The following notation was printed on the letterhead of the above-mentioned letter:<\/p>\n<p><em>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.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Our nation has lost its constitutional and moral roots and is like a ship, without a compass, tossing around in a raging sea, not knowing in which direction to navigate, how to escape the looming disaster.  A doctor can&#8217;t cure an illness without understanding the source of that illness.  Americans are so dumbed down, in every way, but especially historically,  they can&#8217;t and don&#8217;t want to see the forest for the trees.  It&#8217;s less stressful to play on Facebook, Twitter, etc.  <\/p>\n<p>It took billions of dollars over a period of fifty years to turn Americans into willing slaves of the unconstitutional system being implemented as I write, using a federally-funded, non-academic,  humanistic (atheist), brainwashing\/lifelong\/global workforce training curriculum, over which taxpayers no longer have any control. <\/p>\n<p>The New York psychiatrist was &#8220;spot on&#8221; about John Dewey and TV causing the demise of the USA; John Dunphy was &#8220;spot on&#8221; about implementation of humanist\/atheist\/globalist brainwashing philosophy through the schools; and Willard Garvey was &#8220;spot on&#8221; regarding the nail in the coffin:  removal of elected boards (representative government).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1953, before I left the USA for a 20-year period overseas, a close friend of mine&#8217;s father, a well known N.Y.C. psychiatrist and sculptor, who ordinarily said little over the dinner table, predicted that the USA would go down due to Professor John Dewey, communist educator, and television, which had just reared its ugly [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-article"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/deliberatedumbingdown.com\/ddd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/deliberatedumbingdown.com\/ddd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/deliberatedumbingdown.com\/ddd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deliberatedumbingdown.com\/ddd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deliberatedumbingdown.com\/ddd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1088"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/deliberatedumbingdown.com\/ddd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1088\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1120,"href":"https:\/\/deliberatedumbingdown.com\/ddd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1088\/revisions\/1120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/deliberatedumbingdown.com\/ddd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deliberatedumbingdown.com\/ddd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deliberatedumbingdown.com\/ddd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
