DeWeese: Destroying America from Inside the Classroom
I have reported many times in the pages of the DeWeese Report about how public school classrooms are being used, not for the teaching of academic knowledge, but for behavior modification to change the student’s attitudes, values and beliefs. Barack Obama is now driving to control classroom curriculum based on United Nation’s Globalism. Many parents want to deny this is happening. “Not in my child’s school,” they tell me. If you still don’t believe it’s happening in EVERY school that takes public money, then read below, open your eyes, and know the truth about what happens to your child in the schools you send them to every day.
“My 14- year-old Daughter Pearl is a freshman at Ft. Myers High School and my 11-year-old daughter Lily is in 5th grade at Three Oaks Elementary. Here are some of the things they have relayed to me concerning what they have been learning in our public schools:
1. Lily said, “I would rather just shoot myself in the head because it would be a less painful death that to suffer and die from global warming.”
2. Pearl has been studying the Watergate scandal for three weeks. She had to memorize the name of everyone involved (people I’ve never heard of) for a test.
3. Both girls have been taught to fear the extinction of the polar bears.
4. Both girls have had numerous lessons about various aspects of the Native Americans and the brutal treatment thereof.
5. Both girls have studied the Pueblo people and Mexican pottery.
6. Neither girl has spent much time studying our American forefathers.
Letter to the Editor from a parent in Fort Myers, Fl.
“This is not a church. It’s a school and it’s a public school. I have to do things that include every child. So what we do is celebrate winter.” – Principal Erik Brown, Walsh Elementary in Waterbury, Connecticut discussing the schools “Winter celebration” where even Santa Clause and Christmas trees are banned.
“By first grade I was sexually active with many friends. In fact, a small group of us regularly met in the grammar school lavatory to perform fellatio on one another.” – From a book entitled “Reflections of a Rock Lobster: A story about growing up Gay,” by Aaron Fricke. Just one of the books included on a list issued for school use to promote homosexuality. The organization behind the list is the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) founded by Kevin Jennings – now Obama’s Czar for the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools.
“How may citizenship change in the Nation’s Third Century?” — Question in the New Civics textbook entitled “We the People.” The book is published by the Center for Civics Education (CCE) and was funded by the federal government. CCE received over $110 million in federal grants to produce the textbook which is now widely used in classrooms across the nation.
The answer to the above question on citizenship, according to “We the People” appears on page 202:
• “The achievements of modern technology are turning the world into a global village.”
• “National corporations are becoming international.”
• “The culture we live in is becoming cosmopolitan, that is, belonging to the whole world.”
• “The issues confronting American citizens are increasingly international.”
• “Issue of economic competition, the environment, and the movement of peoples around the world require an awareness of political associations that are larger in scope than the nation-state.”
Do you see any room in that answer for learning about the strengths and virtues of national sovereignty? What conclusions will a child take from such indoctrination? As I said, the curriculum is about behavior modification to prepare the children to be global citizens – the Republic and all of its marvels – be hanged.

Well, the compulsory public education system is not very old–late 19th century, and was established as a main pathway to educate boys to become soldiers. Its also one of the more SURPRISING developments during the industrial revolution in that it violated long held traditions of parents being in charge of their children, and removed children from the workforce. Over time, the horrible results of nationalistic education are evident in the efficacy of Hitler’s campaign, Stalin, etc. For years, schools were oppressive places that tried to mold children according to adult agendas….and there was a HUGE backlash…culminating in the diminution and devaluing of personal achievement and individuality, and bureaucratic bombardment with multiculturalist agendas. Perhaps this is creating a general ennui in the populace? I mean, I was born in 1975, but at least I grew up during some of the Cold War, and I identify with those of my generation who were taught at least some pride. On the other hand, I would like to see more accurate world history taught in schools, and not just that Sherman and Columbus were good dudes. But to be a true intellectual is discouraged in secondary schools–students are more concerned with blending in and being popular, pissing away their lives through conforming rather than making a real difference.
And globalization has been going of for quite a while, with the US unfortunately becoming the strong arm of the globalist regime. But I was proud to go to public school when foreign students still took so much pride in just how glad they were to be in the USA–their home countries were awful! And I will never forget them. Asians, Russians, southeast Asians, all so proud, glad to devote all their time to study. Thats something that probably didn’t happen at any other time in the history of public education in America, due to segregation and the separation of communities into ethnic divisions.
As an aside, if we do have to send them to school, at least lets get the Fed out and return control to local School Boards. That’s the way it used to be in this country. hb
Your right fast eddie. I’m glad you were able to do that. I wish more parents would. hb
Hippybiker I finally disagree with you. The answer is homeschooling. Forget the babylonian public school system. Get your children out and teach them yourself. When you do that you can instill YOUR values in their lives. I don’t trust anybody. Let alone some gubmit empoyee to train my children. The Bible clearly states ” Train up your children”. Not “Send your children to school”.
I am very blessed to have a wife that made a commitment to stay home, live on what I made and teach our seven children. We were never able to buy a new vehicle, rarely ate out, never went to movies, didn’t have cable, don’t have a boat, no motorcycle, no camper, don’t even own our home, … you get the idea. Am I sorry we did that. NO!!!! If you send your children to somebody else, don’t bitch when you don’t like the results.
When it comes apart, I don’t have to worry about finding a group to hang around with. With my 4 boys, I have my own group of five. And I can and will trust them with my life. And that is a wonderful feeling. Blood is thick. No worry about infiltrators. Woe to any stupid misguided gubmit employee that wants to come and get our guns. It WILL be the last act of tyranny you will attempt.
Death to the new world order.
The problem is, our schools have become “Baby Sitting Centers” and parents are not active in their communities. If you care about the future of your children, get active and help run the bad Principles and Teachers out of your schools.
