Public Education Against America: The Hidden Agenda

This book is right on the money. As a non-teaching individual who has a degree in secondary education, AND certification/teaching license to accompany that degree, I can personally attest to most everything in this book. There are some opinions in there that are the authors own...but thats to be expected--ITS HIS OWN BOOK! The facts, however, are well-documented and sources are adequately and abundantly supplied. It will really open the eyes of anyone even remotely considering the possibility something other than public school. And I'll throw this in for free....studies have shown that children who have not been "brought-up" in the public schools are actually more adept to handling themselves appropriately social situations....so don't use social skills as the only reason for sending a child to the public schools. (I keep two copies of this book at my home...a personal copy and a loaner copy to others who might want reasons for why my wife and I home-school and don't want a lot of statistical info.)

Public Education Against America reveals what's going on in public school that most parents don't know or refuse to believe. There really are people in high places pulling the strings to ensure your kids don't acquire the reading skills necessary to develop a good vocabulary or the writing skills necessary to develop those all-important thinking skills. If your child can think, they can't control him or her the way they do the millions of functionally illiterate public school graduates who depend on government support because their lack of learning makes it impossible for them to suppport themselves. Even worse, the same folks limiting core knowledge and thinking skills are successfully brainwashing your kids with the fundamentals of Humanism -- Darwinism, Moral Relativism and Socialism. If you don't believe it, read Maddoux' book and scores of others like it that are being published every year. These books are all saying the same thing -- someone is trying to control knowledge, all knowledge. That someone is your enemy and mine. Please get your kids out of Big Brother's schools before it's too late!

Before I read this book I already knew that our public education system had serious problems. Reading this book was not only informative it was also scary. It puts in detail how the public school system is brainwashing innocent children and taking the place of the parent. It points out that the education system is undermining the parents role as the upbringer and spiritual guardian of their own children telling them that everything their parents teach them is wrong. Also many insert their socialist and pro-marxist agendas into the minds of children from Kindergarden and up. The recomendation is to pull your children out of public school NOW!!!

I have read at least half a dozen books by people with widely diverse interests, but they are all saying the same thing--our kids are being systematically brainwashed into the atheistic worldview that is secular humanism. This book is the only one that explains exactly how the educators are doing it. It shows parents exactly what to look for, and how speech codes disguise what is really being taught. I know there are parents out there who think this is only going on in California and Massachusetts, but I can testify that these techniques have been used in Kansas for at least 20 years. They are the reason I pulled my kids out of the public schools. When my son was inducted into the gifted program, I couldn't understand why they had to do psychological profiles on him. Now I know. I spent some time in the education program at one of the public universities in Kansas and dropped out of it because they were training future teachers in the techniques described in this book. This book is a must read if only because it shows parents what to look for.

Whether you lean to the left or the right or are middle of the road this is a must read for all parents, educators and students! This book is not an attack on teachers. It is a revealing look at what is going on and the curriculum in today's public schools. Few realize the federal mandates and control imposed on all public schools and even fewer realize the basis of the curriculum which is being taught to our children, that often includes politicians and educators themselves. The book reveals the influences of the "Hegelian dialectic" and the psychology used to shape our children into what the secular progressives would have them to be. It reveals how our children are stripped of their values and lead to accept the values of an almost anything goes socialistic society. Only those far left and extremely liberal will not enjoy this book, and that is only because it reveals their dirty little secrets.
