MARXISM THROUGH…<\/p>\n

– SCHOOL CHOICE
\n – CHARTERS
\n – COMMUNITY RE-EDUCATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 1985 U.S.-USSR Education Exchange Agreement signed between Presidents Reagan and USSR President Gorbachev<\/strong>, and the extensive Carnegie Corporation-Soviet Academy of Science Agreements which dealt with joint development of computer courseware, etc., related to Marxist Critical Thinking.

This agenda has continued. Of enormous significance is fact that Tony Wagner, the founder in the early 1980s of the far left Educators for Social Responsibility (ESR), is very prominent in the present Marxist U.S. education restructuring. Wagner recommends \u201cThe Finnish Model\u201d for American schools.<\/p>\n

Wagner has very close ties to Donald Davies, editor of Communities and Their Schools (1981), one of four published books resulting from The Goodlad Study. The other three books are: Schooling for a Global Age (Becker), Arts and the Schools (Hausman) and A Place Called School (Goodlad). All are still available at Amazon.com<\/p>\n

Donald Davies is the nation\u2019s foremost leader of the womb-to tomb Community Education movement. This is being implemented across the country under label of community schools, community centers, life long education, workforce training, ALL social services, including taking grandma to see the leaves in the autumn, having an abortion, etc. These government-funded and controlled services are to be provided under the community school district, also known as community schools, community centers, hubs, etc.<\/p>\n

This is all important background information because Tony Wagner has recently assumed the Presidency of Donald Davies leftist group, the Institute for Responsive Education (IRE).<\/p>\n

And, lo and behold! IRE\u2019s website letterhead has the late Theodore Sizer\u2019s Coalition of Essential Schools (CES) listed at the bottom of its letterhead! (Quite a nest of red birds out of Cambridge, Massachusetts!)<\/p>\n

Sizer\u2019s Coalition of Essential Schools, after being approved for charter school corporate developmental funding by the New American School Development Corporation in the mid-nineties, received additional funding from Annenberg.<\/p>\n

Annenberg is connected to Chicago\u2019s Bill Ayers (Weathermen building bomber) and brother of John Ayers, former VP of the Carnegie Foundation for the advancement of Teaching. John Ayers now heads up the School Choice\/Charter School and Community Education agenda out of Tulane University, New Orleans. (This agenda is being touted as the national\/international model!) John Ayers was deeply involved in President Obama\u2019s early Chicago education restructuring agenda and in the setting up of charter schools in Chicago. (See earlier blog articles HERE<\/a> and HERE<\/a> and HERE<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

One excerpt from Soviets in the Classroom… America\u2019s Latest Education Fad, relates to the USA implementation of Marxist curriculum follows:<\/p>\n

A Few Examples: A complete listing of the many shocking exchange activities taking place as a result of the 1985 and 1988\u20131991 agreements would require volumes. A few concrete examples should suffice to convince the reader that all proposals called for in the agreements are being faithfully and fastidiously carried out.<\/p>\n

1. Cambridge-based Educators for Social Responsibility (ESR) project, \u201cEducating for New Ways of Thinking: An American-Soviet Institute.\u201d Two such institute sessions have been held (one in Leningrad the summer of 1989) at which \u201cSoviet and American educators examined classroom theory and practice in critical thinking about social and political issues and worked on recommendations and resources for improving the ways we teach about each other\u2019s country, and on A Source-Book for New Ways of Thinking in Education: A U.S.-Soviet Guide for use by teachers and students in both countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCritical thinking\u201d is the latest fad to hit our children\u2019s classrooms. N. Landa\u2019s Lenin: On Educating Youth, published by the Soviet state-controlled Novosti Press, quotes Lenin on \u201cthinking\u201d as follows:<\/p>\n

“To pose a real question means to define a problem which demands a new approach and new research…. Sometimes accepted truth no longer answers as a solution for a serious and pressing problem. The school should cultivate in pupils the ability to perceive scientifically evolved truths as stages along the endless road of cognition\u2014not as something stationary and set.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
