Understanding Common Core

Researcher and author Berit Kjos sent a list of articles that she felt might help readers of the abcsofdumbdown blog. She said that these articles posted on her website www.crossroad.to would help parents understand Common Core and the global steps to its widespread implementation. These articles spell out some significant aspects of the global agenda for education.

I believe some of the articles would help parents understand the dark background and the rising global grasp of Common Core (whether or not the CC name is used.)  I tend to doubt that there will be any real “turning back” in our lifetime here on earth.

One of her articles, "From Freedom to Servitude - Part 3 - Deceit, Delusion and the Destruction of America," explained how people have been dumbed down:

The main strategy behind this transformation has been the dialectic process: group dialogue led by a trained facilitator toward an ever-evolving consensus. The result is a "dumbed-down" population of what Pravda called "sheeple" -- blinded masses following false shepherds. Our nation, once famous for its faith, freedom, wisdom and initiative, has learned to trust--

• feelings instead of facts
• opinions and impression instead of Truth and certainty
• human cravings rather than God's authority
• group consensus rather than God's Word

Here is a list of the articles she suggested reading:

• Purging the Memory of Our Christian Roots
• From Parental Rights to Global Control, Part 1: The UN Seizure of Parental Rights
• From Freedom to Servitude - Part 2: "Service Learning" through Soviet Brainwashing
• From Freedom to Servitude - Part 3: Deceit, Delusion and the Destruction of America
• Assaults on Faith and Family - Part 3: The Ominous "Success" of Re-Education
• The Nazi Model For Outcome-Based Education
• Workforce Development Means Life-Long Indoctrination
• Faith-Based Partnerships ban Truth and Freedom
• Why "Hate crime" laws would ban Biblical Christianity
• The UN Plan For Global Control: A Report on Habitat II
• Local Agenda 21 - The U.N. Plan for Your Community

Berit Kjos is the author of an excellent book, Brave New Schools, opposing education reform:
