Names of funding sources are listed in front of each book.<\/p>\n<p>I found a huge box containing the Goodlad Study, with all funding sources, etc. in a supply room at NIE while working late at night at Dept. of Ed in 1981.  I later ran across this NEA document; you will note it has my ORIGINAL  scribble notes on the cover page and elsewhere. I had lost it and was amazed when I found my copy on the Internet&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>One cannot really understand the education agenda without reading four books published as a result of this study.  Buy them at Amazon. Their cost is mainly postage.  No one cares about what government and foundation-funded  ed researchers have been doing, or for that matter what evil the tax-exempt foundations have been involved in&#8230; proof of that is the shutting down of Norman Dodd&#8217;s investigation of the tax-exempt foundations.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line is the education agenda we are looking at, included in above four books, is  communist.<\/p>\n<p>Second bottom line is:  WHY ARE WE SURPRISED WHEN OUR YOUNG PEOPLE TURN OUT TO BE MARXISTS RUNNING AROUND THE STREETS OF AMERICA, KILLING AND DESTROYING PROPERTY, INCLUDING STATUES OF AMERICAN HEROES?<\/p>\n<p>P.S.  When I called McGraw Hill, after  finding &#8220;the&#8221; box at NIE, the person there promised she would send the four books to me, &#8220;even before she sent them to each of the fifty state school officers&#8221;.
