The Fat Lady Just Started Singing!

Parents! Its the Final Act!

Neo-Conservatives Are Now Advocating Skinnerian Operant Conditioning!

"They" are coming out of their closet full speed. "They," of course, were the ones who pushed for passage of the Skinnerian Direct Instruction/Mastery Learning Reading Excellence Act back in the 1990s, and rejected all our well-documented research regarding the dangers of using the Pavlovian/Skinnerian Operant Conditioning on America's schoolchildren. In fact, they even had the nerve to say it wasn't Operant Conditioning! Who are "they"? I am referring to many well known conservative leaders who have gone up against me for at least ten years, maybe twenty, saying Charlotte was wrong, wrong, wrong.

But what have I been warning about all along? That the total plan for education reform must have this animal training method put in place for the lifelong global workforce training system! And not only have these conservative leaders not OPPOSED the use of this Skinnerian method on our children, but now they are openly SUPPORTING it!

This chart shows what Operant Conditioning does to children:

Here is a definition of Operant Conditioning:

"operant behavior"... [was] popularized by B. F. Skinner.... Operant conditioning is distinguished from classical conditioning... in that operant conditioning deals with the reinforcement and punishment to change behavior. (Source)

Are parents supposed to consider that their children are nothing but animals to be trained, not educated, with no intellect, conscience or soul?

Or do most parents agree with C.S Lewis, the noted English writer, who said:

"If education is beaten by training, civilization dies," he (C.S. Lewis) writes, for the "lesson of history" is that "civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. It is the liberal arts, not vocational raining, that preserves civilization by producing reasonable men and responsible citizens."
[Gregory Dunn, "C.S. Lewis on Liberal Arts Education," On Principle, Vol. 7, No. 2, April 1999, emphasis added]

And parents, why continue to trust these same highly-funded neoconservative leaders who are heading up the resistance to Communist Core, all the while putting in tax-funded school choice and charters with unelected boards (which is a Trojan Horse), which will give them Communist Core a la mode? With no elected boards to whom they can go to complain! Hear it from the horse's mouth. Read the transcript of Reed Hastings calling for an end to locally elected school board representatives and true "choice" in my blog post "Charters Kill True Choice."

Here is how Heartland Institute is advertising this new book REWARDS. Read carefully how this describes the methods of Operant Conditioning -- using the words "incentives" and "rewards." What is NOT mentioned is the "punishment" that you see on the graph above.

If there was ever a time for parents to wake up, it is NOW! This is the last act of the drama that has been unfolding for decades. Stop following the neoconservative agenda. Stop supporting tax-funded school "choice." Stop supporting the transition from academics to lifelong workforce training.

IF YOU REALLY LOVE YOUR CHILDREN, YOU WILL LISTEN NO MORE TO THE LIES BEING TOLD BY THESE NEOCONSERVATIVE GROUPS.

You need to do your own research! Here is a place to start:

The Heartland Institute is an American conservative and libertarian public policy think tank based in Chicago, which states that it advocates free market policies....

Education
The Heartland Institute supports the availability of charter schools, providing education tax credits to attend private schools, expanding federal vouchers for low-income students to attend a public or private school of their family's choosing, and the Parent Trigger reform that started in California. The Heartland Institute argues that market reforms should be introduced into the public education system to increase competition and provide more options and greater choice for parents and their children.

1. Stop following the highly funded Neo-Conservative agenda;
2. Stop this Skinnerian/Pavlovian "slobbering dog" training method;
3. Stop fighting Communist Core, to the exclusion of fighting the Trojan Horse: tax-funded school  choice and charters with unelected boards;
4. Stop supporting the transition from solid academics to lifelong workforce training.

Parents, speak out if you really love your children. Don't listen to the lies being told by these Neo-Conservative groups who simply want to use your children to spin off profits for a global elite, a group to which they all belong (both Republicans and Democrats).
