Experience tells us that ‘would-be kings’ have utopian dreams that become nightmares...
Everything about control and uniformity flies in the face of God’s intentions. He created a diversity of flora and fauna on this earth, unique and beautiful and endlessly inspiring to mankind, who He endowed with free will. The new education law squashes everyone’s free will.
It is becoming obvious that decisions being made in Washington, D.C. are not in the best interests of the people of the United States. Why is that?
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
The Every Student Succeeds Act was signed into law by President Obama this week. No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is now defunct but something much more nefarious has been cemented into place until 2020.
It doesn’t take over 1,000 pages to undo the disastrous policies of NCLB so we know the primary purpose of this law was not that. What does this law do?
It insists on federal control of education even though it was advertised to give control back to the states. Both Cuomo and the federal government are very adept at using “foundation money” as well as taxpayer dollars to create grants.
Grants are used to circumvent local control. The grants go to organizations that implement whatever the federal government and Cuomo want to achieve. They want uniform teachers in uniform schools mind controlling uniform students – under constant surveillance with data collection to make sure we all comply.
“Pay for Success” in this law means Goldman Sachs stands to make money when districts deny special education services to students who should be receiving them. Under Title I, Part D (ii) pay-for-success initiatives, keeping special education students under 1% is now incentivized. That’s just plain evil.
But what is the agenda that drove this law into being? Charlotte Iserbyt discovered a document that was brought to the attention of congress in 1961 by the late John M. Ashbrook. He delivered a speech entitled, “The Myth of Federal Aid to Education without Control.” (Congressional Record: pp. 11868-11880)
In this speech, Ashbrook reveals a Health, Education, and Welfare publication, titled, “A Federal Education Agency for the Future,” which is a 1961 report of the Office of Education. He states that the report is a blueprint for complete domination of our schools from Washington.
The report calls for more federal participation in formulating educational policies such as teacher preparation, curriculum and textbooks as well as recommending implementation of international projects in cooperation with UNESCO. Keep in mind this was before there was a federal Department of Education.
The most damning quote from the report is this: “The tradition of local control should no longer be permitted to inhibit Office of Education leadership.”
Ashbrook went on to point out, “the battle lines are now drawn between those who seek control and uniformity of our local schools and those who oppose this further bureaucratic centralization in Washington.”
Everything about control and uniformity flies in the face of God’s intentions. He created a diversity of flora and fauna on this earth, unique and beautiful and endlessly inspiring to mankind, who He endowed with free will. The new education law squashes everyone’s free will.
When we took prayer out of school in 1962, we took the idea of submission and gratitude to our Creator out as well. We are the result of random chance. Evolution has been presented as truth when it is only a theory which defies logic without evidence.
If mankind is constantly evolving… eventually man can become a god himself. If there is no Creator, no ten commandments, no absolute standard of right and wrong--any action can be justified.
The United Nations has drawn up an action plan, titled Agenda 2030, which contains 17 specific goals to be implemented by each country. The UN would like to be the centralized authority that will enforce uniformity on the world “for the good of the planet and future generations.” Our schools are presently infused with UN propaganda.
Centralization and uniformity for the purpose of total control has been the goal of many people. Stalin, Hitler, and Mao all had similar dreams of utopian control. Although these totalitarian ideas have been thoroughly repudiated, nobody reads history any more.
Darwin’s book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, Or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (1859), inspired totalitarian worldviews. The principle of ‘survival of the fittest’ has been used to justify genocide, abortion, and forced sterilization.
For Marx and Stalin it was class struggle; for Hitler it was racial struggle. Darwin was Mao’s favorite author. Hitler used evolution to justify eugenics in his aim to create a perfect society. That is Darwin’s legacy.
Darwin had doubts about his theory which we should revisit. He expected transitional forms to eventually be found in the fossil record. One hundred and fifty years later, none have been found. The Cambrian explosion defies his theory.
Where is the quest for truth about this? To raise a question about evolution sets one up to be mocked. How is being forbidden to ask questions science?
Education previously provided children with some basic academic skills, the ability to use logic to identify truth, and the opportunity to practice rhetoric in speaking and writing to argue from a point of view.
When we remove God from our frame of reference, we remove the concept of God’s calling for our children to use their unique talents and abilities to glorify Him. Remove God and our children end up worshipping idols like money or fame which are empty which is why they turn to drugs.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and knowledge of the Holy is prudence. Proverbs 9:10
Darwinism has set us up for what is happening today. Random chemicals big banging us into existence is a deadly philosophy that allows an education law to be turned into a prescription for the New World Order. Our children are not seen as beautiful human beings created in the image of God with unique talents. They are drones to be trained by the state from age three.
Congress has no conscience. The agenda of the UN permeates our classrooms. One has only to enter the "Meditation Room" at the U.N. headquarters in New York to recognize the dark antichristian origins of the spiritual philosophy which has conceived and pervaded the United Nations.
Spiritual wickedness in high places must be exposed if we want to save our children and our nation. This is no longer a political battle.
