The Fall of the Republic - Alex Jones documentary on the shadow government and the engineered economic collapse
Most Americans live blissfully unaware of the complete crisis that they are in because the central bankster-owned and controlled MainStreamMedia refuses to give them the facts. They live their lives relying on the tell-a-vision and the glossy magazines to give them their reality and because all they receive at every turn is propaganda they have no frame of reference for discerning what is really going on in the world.
Their position in life is the same as the prisoners in Plato's Cave. They spend their life looking at the shadow play that their slave masters project on their flat-screen mental prisons never understanding how their very thoughts and reality are being manipulated.
For those who are interested in learning what the MainStreamMedia isn't telling them then I recommend the films of Austin-based radio talk show host and documentary filmmaker Alex Jones. His last documentary, The Obama Deception, which we featured here on The Ashburn Elementary School Reporter, has been the #1 documentary in the world with over 20,000,000+ views on the Internet alone with hundreds of thousands of copies distributed in truth actions around the country. I personally have distributed copies to the Ashburn Elementary PTO and everyone who attended the 2nd Loudoun County Flu Meeting.
Fall of the Republic takes over where The Obama Deception leaves off getting into the details of how the Central Banksters and their government puppets are engineering a complete collapse of the US Dollar as the information revolution (like this blog and the embedded documentary here demonstrate) is finally cutting through the Central Banksters' MainStreamMedia propaganda matrix and exposing their crimes.
Finally, here is an overview from the DVD extras of a group called Oath Keepers that was filmed at the Oath Keepers' muster on Lexington Green on April 19th, 2009. You can see this author standing in the front row as he takes the oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic by retired Navy SEAL Captain Larry Bailey. Whether you are wide awake to the realities of the world or just waking up and turning off the tell-a-vision for the first time, please get these documentaries to your friends who are active duty or veteran military, peace officers, or fire fighters. Time is short...
Oath Keepers - DVD Extra from Fall of the Republic
The Loudoun County Health Department, under the leadership of Dr. David Goodfriend and supported by Loudoun County Schools Superintendent Edgar Hatrick and, I am assuming since she is allowing it in her school, Ashburn Elementary School Principal Dr. Barbara Holley, is planning on injecting students at Ashburn Elementary School tomorrow with potentially dangerous vaccines of specious efficacy. While the program is voluntary, I have attended the past two Loudoun County informational meetings and have watched Dr. Goodfriend overstate the efficacy of flu shots in general while dramatically understating the dangers of vaccination. I have repeatedly asked Dr. Goodfriend to explain why autism has gone from from 1 in 10,000 kids in 1983 (10 vaccines on the CDC’s mandatory schedule) to an astounding 1 in 100 kids today (36+ shots on the CDC’s schedule) while unvaccinated populations such as The Amish, California unvaccinated kids surveyed by Generation Rescue, 30,000+ patients of Homefirst Medical Services in Chicago, and The Hopewood Children to name a few don't seem to have anything approaching full spectrum autism.
I just found out about this today and have a call and email out to the Loudoun County Health Department to confirm whether the vaccines administered will be:
H1N1 Vaccine or Seasonal? Injections or Nasal Mist? If Injections: Thimerosal or "Thimerosal Light" - I say "Thimerosal Light" because the FDA/CDC's definition of "Thimerosal-Free" still allows up to .3 mcg of thimerosal / mercury.
Important:If the gov't (Loudoun County Health Dept) is planning on using the MedImmune H1N1 Nasal Spray Flu Mist then they will be spreading an untested LIVE VIRUS that has the ability to be "shed" by students who receive the nasal spray (See Section 14.5 on the insert,More Here) By breathing, coughing, and sneezing students that have been nasally inoculated can spread the live virus to kids, teachers, and parents who were educated enough NOT to roll the dice on an untested vaccine. In the one study that was done to study if the live virus in the vaccine could be spread to children who were not inoculated the rate was found to be 2.4%. I, personally, would advise all parents, teachers, and school employees to stay home the next two days to avoid being contaminated if the district is planning on using the H1N1 Nasal Mist.
While I haven't yet heard back from the Loudoun County Health Dept on the specifics of tomorrow's program here is what has been reported about the H1N1 vaccinations in general with respect to their mercury content:
Remember all those talking heads on TV that keep saying that mercury is gone from vaccines and won't be in the H1N1 flu shot? They are misinforming you.
Does the Swine Flu shot have mercury in it? The answer is yes... some of them.
If you decide to get the shot, INSIST on seeing the vaccine package insert. If you are offered a shot that is drawn from a vial, that will be a mercury containing vaccine.
Keep in mind that many parents of children with autism reported that their child received a shot from a multi-dose vial, and then saw the nurse throw the bottle away. Mercury is a heavy metal, and if the nurses who use that vial do not "shake vigorously before use" then the mercury settles at the bottom and the last person to get a shot drawn from that vial gets a "hot shot" with all the mercury in it.
This week the FDA released the vaccine package inserts for the upcoming H1N1 vaccines: ____________________________________________________________________ The H1N1 Sanofi Vaccine Package Insert:
"Sanofi Pasteur 449/454 Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine" 10 September 2009_v0.3
FULL DOSE MERCURY VACCINE - 25mcg
EPA says that safety limits are .1mcg per kg of weight per day, which makes this vaccine safe for anyone who weighs 550 lbs!

____________________________________________________________________ The H1N1 CSL Vaccine Package Insert - Version 2.0
"Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine, a sterile suspension for intramuscular injection, is supplied in two presentations: • 0.5 mL preservative-free, single-dose, pre-filled syringe. • 5 mL multi-dose vial containing ten doses. Thimerosal, a mercury derivative, is added as a preservative; each 0.5 mL dose contains 24.5 micrograms (mcg) of mercury."
MERCURY VACCINE - 2mcgEPA says that safety limits are .1mcg per kg of weight per day, which makes this vaccine safe for anyone who weighs 550 lbs!
Does your kid weigh 550 lbs?
IF you are getting the shot, read the packaging, make sure it is Hg free. And think twice about getting this shot.
____________________________________________________________________ Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics Limited BLA 1750 September 2009 Influenza A (H1N1) Vaccine
"Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine, a sterile suspension for intramuscular injection, is supplied in two presentations: • Prefilled single dose syringe, 0.5-mL. Thimerosal, a mercury derivative used during manufacture, is removed by subsequent purification steps to a trace amount (≤ 1 mcg mercury per 0.5-mL dose) (3, 11) • Multidose vial, 5-mL. Contains thimerosal, a mercury derivative (25 mcg mercury per 0.5-mL dose). Thimerosal is added as preservative."
"a trace amount" - Mercury at nanomolar amounts can cause mitochondrial damage so severe that it causes cells to self destruct.

Pay close attention to Section 17.2 where they discuss that patients are CONTAGIOUS after getting the nasal form of this vaccine.
This can actually ...spread the disease that the CDC is supposedly trying to prevent.
Note that the adverse reactions section reports that a side effect of the H1N1 flu shot in about ten percent of recipients is..... the flu itself. ___________________________________________________________________
The studies looking at flu deaths in the elderly didn't actually measure a true cohort population but the "healthy elderly" that were more likely to be able to go out and get vaccinated and less likely to die of the flu. The "frail elderly"had a 60% higher baseline death rate negating the supposed protection the flu shot provided.
In 2004 when vaccine production was running behind schedule and 40% of the population didn't receive vaccinations there was no corresponding increase in mortality.
In years when the flu strain has been mismatched (more on this below) as was the case in 1968 and 1997 when none of the specific strains of flu chosen for the vaccine program in the summer actually corresponded to the circulating strain of the flu in the winter there was no (0) zilch, nada increase in death rates from the flu and/or the various illnesses it can exacerbate.
"In 1989, only 15 percent of people over age 65 in the U.S. and Canada were vaccinated against flu. Today, more than 65 percent are immunized. Yet death rates among the elderly during flu season have increased rather than decreased."
Every year the World Health Organization and the CDC survey flu strains and pass along their findings to a committee that decides which flu strains should be included in next years flu shot. They are almost always wrong as they were in 2008 when the predominant type A flu virus was the H3N2 strain; 87% were the "Brisbane" strain. And 93% of the type B flu bugs was from the "Yamagata" lineage. Last year's flu vaccine's H3N2 component was the "Wisconsin" strain; the type B component was from the "Victoria" lineage. In 2007, when the Brisbane strain was predominant in Europe, the "Wisconsin" vaccine was the primary component and estimated to be only 52% protective against infection.
In addition to the studies listed above I can share some personal anecdotes: My next door neighbor chose two weeks ago to get a flu shot for herself and her two kids. They all came down with the flu. Her husband who was not vaccinated did not contract the flu even when living in a household with 3 carriers. I have a business acquaintance who came down with the flu after getting the seasonal flu shot. A friend's mother-in-law is a hospice nurse in Kentucky and was forced to receive a flu shot 19 days ago and became very ill right after receiving the shot and is still sick to this day. She was tested and doesn't have the flu but was sickened by the shot. I am sure everyone knows the story of the Washington Redskins Ambassador who is now permanently disabled after receiving a seasonal flu shot. UPDATED: Since I wrote this article I attended the Ashburn Elementary School Halloween Parade on Friday, October 31st. I arrived early and there were two moms in one of son's classroom discussing the flu. Both moms had gotten their kids the government's flu mist the previous week and both of their kids had come down with the flu. The vaccine is the pandemic...
Why would anyone want to roll the dice with children's developing brains over the flu??
A reminder of what mercury does to brain cells: (Video Here)
I attended the Loudoun County Government and Loudoun County Health department's meeting on the H1N1 Flu Crisis. I am working on a much longer and much more detailed story on the meeting and their last meeting but I did want to get something up on the evidence that the CDC has been covering up the correlation between autism and vaccines. Vaccines are by far the #1 suspect in the sky-rocketing rates of autism and neurological problems that has seen autism skyrocket from 1 in 10,000 kids in 1983 (10 vaccines on the CDC’s mandatory schedule) to an astounding 1 in 100 kids today (36+ shots on the CDC’s schedule).
Besides the voluminous evidence below that the CDC has been caught lying on multiple occasions, simple common sense should be enough on this issue:
Many kids develop autism or suffer adverse reactions such as febrile seizures immediately after getting vaccinated. At 2:54 on this video you can see an autism conference where parents of autistic kids are asked to raise their hands if they can document with video evidence that their kids were normal prior to receiving a vaccine. You can see hundreds of hands waving in the crowd. This footage was censored by the CBS news magazine program 60 Minutes's coverage of the conference in a story on autism.
Testimony of Congressional Researchers Dr. Mark and David Geier
Over and over again during both Loudoun County meetings Dr. Goodfriend kept referring to studies done by the CDC. Many good Doctors, nurses, and health professionals have been making their vaccination recommendations based on data supplied by the CDC. What these good doctors, nurses, and health professionals don't understand is that the CDC has been caught lying on multiple occasions about the link between vaccination and autism/neurological problems including changing data in studies and denying/frustrating/delaying the efforts of independent researchers to even access the CDC's data in their Vaccine Safety Datalink database. This is especially egregious because the database (and the salaries of the CDC officials involved) is paid for by taxpayer dollars and if the CDC's real mission was improving public health then they would be encouraging research.
I have found the video below the best general overview into the duplicity and criminality of the CDC. In the interview below, Dr. Mark and David Geier discuss their experiences as they attempted to carry out a Congressionally-mandated examination of the CDC's Vaccine Safety Datalink database to determine whether the increased use of thimerosal-containing vaccines is responsible for the Autism epidemic. Hear the Geiers discuss how the CDC blocked their Congresionally-mandated investigation at every turn and what the Geiers discovered.
Testimony of Congressional Researchers Dr. Mark and David Geier - Part 1
So Why Do Good Doctors, Nurses, Health Care Workers, and Parents Continue to Vaccinate Kids Many are ignorant to the facts concerning vaccination's connection to autism and neurological defects, many nurses know or have suspicions but can't speak up for fear of losing their jobs, and many medical practices have become financially dependent on the money that vaccination brings in both selling the shots and, for some small portion of unscrupulous doctors, treating the aftermath.
I believe the #1 culprit is a psychological phenomenon known as Cognitive Dissonance. The brain has a defense mechanism where it will outright reject information that conflicts with previously learned information especially if that new information causes pain.
I believe most doctors, health professionals, and parents refuse to examine the evidence for the connection to vaccination and autism because to do so would mean having to admit they have been conned by the eugenicists at the CDC and in the billion dollar pharmaceutical industry. They would have to admit that they have been hurting kids instead of helping them and have brain damaged millions of children. So it is easier to simply ignore the evidence:
"I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives." -- Leo Tolstoy

Documentaries: Vaccine Nation (2008) Another powerful documentary from Autism: Made in America director Gary Null on the truth about the history of vaccines and how they have NEVER been proven to be safe and effective for anyone, the legacy of governmental deception and cover-ups associated with vaccines, and the corruption within the scientific community and how vaccine studies are seriously flawed.
A good friend of mine who works in the government school system saw the graph above from yesterday's article: American Idiots. He was puzzled how we could could be achieving such horrible results when we spend more per pupil than Finland and keep the kids in school longer. He picked up his mouse and began to research the subject and discovered that Finland doesn't add Fluoride to the water. I helped him fill in some more of blanks.
The government school system will continue to mandate vaccinations under the color of law, feed kids unhealthy food in the cafeteria, and pump IQ-reducing fluoridated water from the fountains because the goal at the top is to dumb down the population so they can't understand how they are getting raped by the central banksters.
It’s not enough the government has its hooks in America’s children most of the year. Now Obama wants to do away with summer vacation and have children spend more time in the government’s indoctrination centers.
“Obama says American kids spend too little time in school, putting them at a disadvantage with other students around the globe,” reports the Associated Press. “Now, I know longer school days and school years are not wildly popular ideas,” the president said earlier this year. “Not with Malia and Sasha, not in my family, and probably not in yours. But the challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom.”
It’s interesting Obama would use his kids to make a point about children around the country in public schools. Obama’s kids attend Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., a private school that charges $29,000 a year in tuition. Theodore Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton sent their children to Sidwell. Vice President Al Gore’s son, Albert Gore III, also graduated from Sidwell Friends. It’s an exclusive school that prepares the children of the elite to lord over the rest of us.
In addition to eliminating summer vacation, the government wants to increase the hours kids spend in government indoctrination camps every day.
Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan told the AP kids need to be in school and away from their parents more because of dismal academic performance.
In fact, as H. L. Mencken noted in 1924, compulsory education is not about test scores and academics — it’s about state control of children. Mencken said the aim of public education is not “to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence…. Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim … is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States… and that is its aim everywhere else.”
John Taylor Gatto, a retired school teacher, talks about the real purpose of public eduction — state controlled consciousness.
Former teacher John Taylor Gatto explains that the purpose of so-called public education is to teach children to follow orders and not question authority. Public education is about undermining the autonomy of the family.
“Institutional leaders have come to regard themselves as great synthetic Fathers to millions of synthetic Children, by which, I mean, to all of us. This theory sees us bound together in some abstract family relationship in which the State is the true Mother and Father, hence it insists on our first and best loyalty,” writes Gatto in his essay, We Need Less School, Not More.
In a review of Gatto’s book, Dumbing Us Down, Ron Miller writes that the crux of Gatto’s critique is that:
"in the past 125 years, social engineers have sought to keep American life under tight central control. Compulsory schooling is a deliberate effort to establish intellectual, economic, and political conformity so that society can be managed efficiently by a technocratic elite. “School,” claims Gatto, “Is an artifice that makes …. a pyramidal social order seem inevitable, although such a premise is a fundamental betrayal of the American Revolution.” Along with the media — especially television, which Gatto criticizes harshly in another essay — schooling removes young people from any genuine experience of community, any genuine engagement with the world or immersion in lasting relationships. It robs them of solitude and privacy. Yet these experiences are what enable us to develop self-knowledge and to grow up “fully human,” argues Gatto, and he asserts that our most troubling social pathologies, such as drug abuse and violence, are the natural reaction of human lives subjected to mechanical, abstract discipline."
As a social engineer for the global elite, Education Secretary Arne Duncan wants to place state indoctrination at the very center of society. “Aside from improving academic performance, Education Secretary Duncan has a vision of schools as the heart of the community,” the AP reports.
Charlotte Iserbyt served as Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement in the U.S. Department of Education, during the first Reagan Administration. Iserbyt talked with Alex Jones on January 24, 2008.
Obama’s message is clear — the state owns your children and now demands they spend more time in dangerous and often violent indoctrination centers that teach them not only how to become obedient robots and docile workers on the global slave plantation, but also teaches them about sex, suicide, and situational ethics instead of rational and independent thought.
Dr. Barbara Holley
Principal
Ashburn Elementary School
Ashburn, Virginia 20147
Dear Dr. Holley,
I am publicly requesting that my kids not be exposed to any propaganda efforts by the current illegitimate central bankster puppet President Barack Hussein Obama. I understand through news reports that President Obama is scheduled to address children in the government school system via telescreen in a creepy, 1984-meets-Stalin/Kim Jong-Il televised address tomorrow. It is even creepier that Obama (and his speechwriters) have been caught using the techniques of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) in his speeches(Detailed Analysis, Video Overview). To make maters worse the Obama administration, like other fascist regimes before them, have been targeting the youth with initially voluntary programs like City Year while publicly announcing their intentions to make these programs mandatory under the guise of "Universal Civil Defense Training". This week alone the Department of Homeland Securityannounced a program to co-opt the nation's 3.4 million Girl Scouts. Troubling to say the least.
Obama's Red and Black Jacketed YouthCorp - The "City Year Program" with video and audio quotes from Obama and his Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emmanuel discussing their vision for a "Civilian National Security Force" and mandatory government service.
I would hope that even a basis knowledge of the strategy and tactics of totalitarian, fascist governments would lead an educated, objective school administrator to rebuke such an obvious attempt to indoctrinate impressionable children. However, the Obama bumper sticker on your car, the fact that you held a mock election without including third-party candidates, and school assignments such as the one I photographed in the hall below, forces me to memorialize this request that my children not be subjected in writing.
Worshipful biographies of Madison Avenue-created puppet Barack Obama are featured/promoted in the Ashburn Elementary School Library
I am making this letter public to provide links and videos to explain the processes being used in the schools and MainStreamMedia to other parents, teachers, and administrators who may not be as familiar with the stratigies and tactics of fascist/totalitarian governments or the public statements of the Obama administration with respect to targeting the youth for mandatory public service and "Civilian National Security Forces".

Democrats and followers of the Obama cult of personality are annoyed at “rightwing” parents who do not take kindly to government indoctrination of their children via telescreen.
A previous cult of personality.
It’s just an education pep rally, they insist, and the Republicans and other domestic terrorists — as Obama’s komissariat now call the opposition — are attempting to politicize the event and use it to attack the president.
Domestic terrorists with children all around the country are outraged by the stunt and many of them plan to keep their kids out of school on Tuesday.
“White House officials said they were surprised and frustrated by the reaction to a speech they said amounts to an educational pep talk. [White House spokesman Tommy Vietor] said the speech will be released Monday to give parents time to review it and decide for themselves. ‘There’s a tradition in Washington of attack first, ask questions later,’ he said. ‘There is a “ready, fire, aim” approach to political attacks. It’s unfortunate that politics has been brought into this,’” CBS News reported on Friday.
In fact, the White House has already modify the propaganda it plans to deliver to a captive audience of highly impressionable children — captive in sense most public schools are locked down prisons, many with metal detectors and armed guards.
The Department of Government Education sent to the memory hole preparatory materials posted on its website last week in response to widespread outrage. In the original version, children were encouraged to worship at the altar of the Obama cult of personality.

Dean Wormer: Did you boys see your grade point averages yet?
Hoover: They're not posted yet, sir.
Dean Wormer: I've seen them. Mr. Kroger, two C's, two D's and an F - that's a 1.2 grade average. Congratulations, Kroger, you're at the top of the Delta pledge class.
[Bluto gives Kroger a congratulatory nudge]
Dean Wormer: Mr. Dorfman.
Flounder: Hellooooo.
Dean Wormer: 0.2. Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son. Mr. Hoover, president of Delta House - 1.6. Four C's and an F. A fine example you set. Daniel Simpson Day has no grade point average. All courses incomplete. Mr. Blu- [looks up to see that Bluto has stuck pencils up his nose] Mr. Blutarsky. Zero POINT zero.
Dean Wormer was correct. Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life. An immeasurable swath of America has not heeded his advice. Doug Casey refers to these people as Boobus Americanus. According to the CDC, 66% of adults over the age of 20 are overweight or obese. That is approximately 140 million adults. Somewhere between 15 and 20 million Americans can be classified as alcoholics. As many as 50% of those on welfare are alcoholics. There are 225 million people over 18 years old and 32 million of them do not have a high school degree. There are 32 million adults or 14% who are illiterate (23% in California, 22% in New York, 20% in Florida, 17% in New Jersey). The United States’ spending per pupil in public schools at $9,266 is in the top 5 in the world. New York and New Jersey spend $14,000 per pupil and one-fifth of their adults are illiterate.
This video was posted by Dr. Joseph Mercola who runs Mercola.com the world's most visited natural health website and the most popular newsletter covering health issues. I found it published under the title "Proof of What Happens When You Get Too Many Vaccines" There was a note in the article that accompanied the video noting that it's original title was "Proof of How Bad the US Educational System Is". Dr. Mercola, like myself, is a tireless campaigner against vaccination, water fluoridation, and monopoly AMA medicine.
I recently came across the work of Dr. Andrew Moulden, MD, PH.D who is a neuropsychologist, medical doctor, and medical researcher who has been investigating how vaccines damage tissue through impaired blood flow and blood 'sludging" in the microscopic vessels throughout the circulatory system. You can find his research at www.BrainGuardMD.com or you can watch the video below. I thought one of the most interesting parts of the video can be found around the 11:50 minute mark where a speaker at a conference for parents with Autism asks the assembled parents to raise their hands if their kids were fine before they were vaccinated. Hundreds of hands go up. Kinda makes you wonder why the government compulsory school system mandates vaccination and pumps the kids full of Fluoridated water.

It says right there on the tube that it is poisonous...
Dumbest Generation Getting Dumber By Dr. Walter E. Williams
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is an international comparison of 15-year-olds conducted by The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that measures applied learning and problem-solving ability. In 2006, U.S. students ranked 25th of 30 advanced nations in math and 24th in science. McKinsey & Company, in releasing its report "The Economic Impact of the Achievement Gap in America's Schools" (April 2009) said, "Several other facts paint a worrisome picture. First, the longer American children are in school, the worse they perform compared to their international peers. In recent cross-country comparisons of fourth grade reading, math, and science, US students scored in the top quarter or top half of advanced nations. By age 15 these rankings drop to the bottom half. In other words, American students are farthest behind just as they are about to enter higher education or the workforce." That's a sobering thought. The longer kids are in school and the more money we spend on them, the further behind they get.
While the academic performance of white students is grossly inferior, that of black and Latino students is a national disgrace. The McKinsey report says, "On average, black and Latino students are roughly two to three years of learning behind white students of the same age. This racial gap exists regardless of how it is measured, including both achievement (e.g., test score) and attainment (e.g., graduation rate) measures. Taking the average National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) scores for math and reading across the fourth and eighth grades, for example, 48 percent of blacks and 43 percent of Latinos are 'below basic,' while only 17 percent of whites are, and this gap exists in every state. A more pronounced racial achievement gap exists in most large urban school districts." Below basic is the category the NAEP uses for students unable to display even partial mastery of knowledge and skills fundamental for proficient work at their grade level.
The teaching establishment and politicians have hoodwinked taxpayers into believing that more money is needed to improve education. The Washington, D.C., school budget is about the nation's costliest, spending about $15,000 per pupil. Its student/teacher ratio, at 15.2 to 1, is lower than the nation's average. Yet student achievement is just about the lowest in the nation. What's so callous about the Washington situation is about 1,700 children in kindergarten through 12th grade receive the $7,500 annual scholarships in order to escape rotten D.C. public schools, and four times as many apply for the scholarships, yet Congress, beholden to the education establishment, will end funding the school voucher program.
Any long-term solution to our education problems requires the decentralization that can come from competition. Centralization has been massive. In 1930, there were 119,000 school districts across the U.S; today, there are less than 15,000. Control has moved from local communities to the school district, to the state, and to the federal government. Public education has become a highly centralized government-backed monopoly and we shouldn't be surprised by the results. It's a no-brainer that the areas of our lives with the greatest innovation, tailoring of services to individual wants and falling prices are the areas where there is ruthless competition such as computers, food, telephone and clothing industries, and delivery companies such as UPS, Federal Express and electronic bill payments that have begun to undermine the postal monopoly in first-class mail.
At a Washington press conference launching the McKinsey report, Al Sharpton called school reform the civil rights challenge of our time. He said that the enemy of opportunity for blacks in the U.S. was once Jim Crow; today, in a slap at the educational establishment, he said it was "Professor James Crow." Sharpton is only partly correct. School reform is not solely a racial issue; it's a vital issue for the entire nation.
Now, what are the things that government schools dare not teach?
They dare not teach the spirit of the Constitution as set forth in the first official document of the United States, the Declaration of Independence. They dare not teach it because it says that all men, not just the majority, are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
A man isn't free to pursue happiness when the majority in any school district, state or nation can coerce him to pay for a school that he believes violates the principles upon which this government was formed.
The school teachers dare not emphasize this part of the Declaration of Independence. They dare not explain the true meaning of this statement. If they were successful in explaining and teaching the true meaning of these ideologies, there would be no gun-run schools.
Again, they dare not teach that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just power from the consent of the governed. They have to completely repudiate the ideas of the American way of life. They have to teach the old-world philosophy of the divine right of governments, only now they call it the divine right of the majority rather than the divine right of kings.
They dare not teach in government schools the meaning of liberty. It is doubtful whether any teacher in gun-run schools dares define the kind of liberty the Founding Fathers mutually pledged to each other their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to support. If the government schools successfully taught the meaning of the liberty our Founding Fathers had in mind, there would be no government schools that starve the intellects of our children.
The government schools dare not teach the meaning of the Golden Rule. If they were successful in getting their pupils to understand that they should not force other people to pay for something they did not want, then they could see that it was a violation of the Golden Rule to force others to pay for their schooling.
They, of course, dare not teach their pupils to believe that if it is wicked and a violation of the Golden Rule for one man to do a thing, it is still wicked and a violation of the Golden Rule if 49 per cent or 99 per cent of the people do the same thing. They, thus, dare not teach the youth that the ideal government, the only kind of government that can be of value to mankind, is one that is limited to the use of defensive force and never has a right, under any circumstances, to initiate force.
I want to continue suggesting things that tax-run schools dare not teach.
They dare not teach the First Commandment: "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me" because they are bowing down and worshipping the will of the majority rather than the eternal laws of God that no man made and no man can unmake.
They dare not teach "Thou shalt not covet," because they are violating the Coveting Commandment.
They believe they do not need to teach well enough that people will voluntarily pay their salaries. They get their pay by violence rather than by rendering service well enough so that those who pay them believe they are benefited by their employment.
They dare not teach discipline and self-reliance because they are not disciplining themselves enough to render such service that they can be paid voluntarily. The teachers take the shortcut and use a police club to get their money. That certainly is not discipline, nor is it self-reliance.
They dare not teach thrift and the harm that comes from getting into debt. They dare not do this because the government burdens every child and every person in the United States with a monstrous debt.
They dare not teach respect for individual initiative because government schools are based on lack of respect for other people's initiative. They are based on the theory that "We've got the power and the individual is helpless and we're going to make him pay for anything our agents think is education."
They dare not teach humility and meekness because the means used by government schools are the exact opposite of humility and meekness. Are believers in tax-run schools so sure they are right that they are willing to initiate force to make people support their ideas of education? They see themselves as so exalted that they have lost all humility and meekness. And remember, "He who exalts himself shall become abased."
They dare not teach children to reason. They have to teach them not to recognize a contradiction or a dilemma. If the pupils were taught to reason, they would recognize the tyranny that is bound to follow making people pay for things and ideas they abhor.
They dare not teach the harm that follows socialism, communism, collectivism and fascism for to do so would let pupils realize that aggressive force is part of socialism, communism, collectivism and fascism.
"Hitherto the plans of the educationalists have achieved very little of what they attempted, and indeed we may well thank the beneficent obstinacy of real mothers, real nurses, and (above all) real children for preserving the human race in such sanity as it still posses."
C.S. Lewis
They dare not teach that what man wants must be obtained on a voluntary basis. They dare not teach this because they get what they want on an involuntary basis.
They dare not teach the difference between socialism and private ownership of property. They dare not explain that under socialism the only way a man can benefit is by injuring another, as in the case in compelling people to pay for schools they think will destroy the country.
They dare not explain that in free enterprise, including free enterprise in education, the gain of one is the gain of all.
Tax-run schools dare not teach love and charity because they are using aggressive force. They seem to think that aggressive force is better than persuasion by love and charity.
They cannot teach patience because they are so impatient about getting what they seem to believe is an education that they dare not wait to persuade those who should employ them to pay their salaries.
They cannot teach peace and goodwill because they are an example of the opposite of peace and goodwill. They are an example of initiating force, of threatening to get from others by aggressive force what they think they should get.
They cannot teach that the government is a servant of individuals because they believe it should be supported by giving it a monopoly to use aggressive force to make people pay. They can only teach that it is a master of the individual.
They cannot teach justice because their method of supporting the schools is based on injustice — arbitrary, initiated force.
They cannot teach that each man is responsible for his own life because they deny that by using force to take part of man's energy against his will, and man cannot be responsible for his life unless he has the right to choose.
There is nothing more important for parents than their duty to see that their children are treated fairly and have an opportunity to learn from schools that can teach these great moral principles and axioms. It is not the money we're wasting in our tax-run schools that is so important, but it is that our children are not being taught the moral laws that tax-less schools can teach.
It is because children can be taught what is right in tax-less schools and they cannot be so taught in tax-run schools that I am obliged to do what little I can to get parents to see that they are not doing their duty to their children by sending them to tax-run schools.
What we need above everything else is more people devoting more time to seeing that the youth of the land are instilled with belief in the great moral laws, the Golden Rule, and the Declaration of Independence. Government schools cannot teach successfully the will to learn. The best way to teach anything is by example. But the superintendent and managers of the schools themselves are not enough interested in the will to learn to be willing to answer questions as they would before a court to determine whether what they are doing is in harmony with what they profess to believe. If there is anything a man of integrity should want to learn, it is whether what he is doing is in harmony and consistent with what he says.

It's back to school time! This is for all the parents and their children who attend public school. I attended public school all my life, until September 2002 when I began attending a private, Christian school. The differences are incredible!
Reading, writing, and arithmetic used to be what a child learned in school. Is this what you think your child is getting in school?
Throughout most of my time spent in public school, the kids in my classes only read one or two books throughout the whole year. I was identified as being smart/dumb enough to go to "Gifted and Talented a.k.a. Advanced Placement classes. The Advanced Placement courses have now been replaced with IB classes, which are part of the International Baccalaureate Organization, UNESCO, United Nations. In this class, we were assigned numerous short stories to read, mostly about the myths of other countries, and about their religions. This class bragged it was a higher-level class, in which advanced students could "maximize" their learning capacity. I was busy learning about the religions and cultures of other countries, but never knowing such authors as Henry van Dyke, Washington Irving, O. Henry, or even Henry Wadsworth Longfellow until I attended private school. These authors and others like Mark Twain and Emily Dickinson are purely American, and the basis for all literary writings in America to date. Why were they never taught to me? Even in the so-called advanced classes we never read "Rip van Winkle." Instead, we were assigned books like "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, which gave the details of killing babies and living in a world where no one was special and a person's worth was based on his/her ability to conform to the group. Was I being conditioned?
Candi Cushman, education analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said you don't have to look back 20 years to be concerned about Jennings.
"Parents should be most concerned about the harmful and radical policies he could enact today that would negatively impact public schoolchildren," she said.
Under the quise of "safe schools," GLSEN promotes classroom activities that not only give biased portrayals of Christian and socially conservative viewpoints, but also turn students into lobbyists for its extreme left causes.
For example, GLSEN has suggested that students ask for a "queer-friendly prom" and to "launch a campaign to create a gender-neutral, all-genders or multi-gendered bathroom at their school."
Jennings has stated that he used the term "safety" as a "calling card" to open the door.
"This is all very frightening to parents and students of faith who expect government-funded schools to be neutral and respectful toward all viewpoints, including theirs," said Cushman, "but now we have someone in charge of the 'safe schools' office with a proven track record of twisting 'safety' into political activism."
Editor's Note: Another one of the quality administrators running the government education system and another example of the hidden curriculum of government schools. The appointment says a lot about Barack Obama as well. Being homosexual doesn't make you a bad person but pushing a Gay and Lesbian political agenda in the government schools and graphically depicting homosexual sex practices (I.E. "Fisting") to children does.
One of the major world arenas in which Hegelian philosophy and the materialistic anti-psychology of Wundt has been applied is that of education. In 1819 in Prussia the first compulsory schooling for children was instituted. According to educator John Taylor Gatto, society in Prussia was divided "into children who will become policy makers; children who will become assistants to policy makers (the engineers, architects, lawyers, and doctors); and the children who will be the vast, massed, used.
"Prussia sets up a three-tier school system, in which one half of one percent of the population is taught to think. They go to school called academie. Five and a half percent of the population go to Realschulen, where they partially learn to think, but not completely, because Prussia believed their defeat at the hands of Napoleon was caused by people thinking for themselves at times of stress on the battlefield. They were going to see to it that scientifically this couldn't happen. The lowest 94%, (that's some pyramid, right?) went to volkschulen, where they were to learn harmony, obedience, freedom from stressful thinking, how to follow orders. They worked out a system that would in fact guarantee such results. In the volkschulen, it was to divide whole ideas (which really simultaneously participate in math, science, social thinking, language and art) into subjects which hardly had existed before, to divide the subjects further into units; to divide the time into small enough units of time. With enough variations in the course of a day, no one would know what was going on." [1]
The Obama Deception - A Documentary Film by Alex Jones
Alex Jones, the Director of The Obama Deception, reaches out to Obama Supporters
To understand how the ruling elite have been able to manipulate the policies and programs of the education system you first need to understand how the ruling elite manipulate the political system.
Once you understand how the ruling elite set up and control the fake Left-Right political paradigm then you understand how they are able to maintain their agents and allies in the educational bureaucracy year after year.
The Obama Deception is radio talk show host and documentary filmmaker Alex Jones' latest expose on how the world really works. Alex pulls the curtain back and lets you see up close and personal how the elite created, educated, groomed, and marketed Barry Soetoro to the world as Barack Hussein Obama.
The film exposes: * The Wall Street funding of Obama and its representation/quid pro quo in his Administration * Obama's connections to The Bilderberg Group, The Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission - (Chart Showing Bilderberg, CFR, and Trilateral domination of multiple administrations.) * Obama's bold face lies on everything from when he is going to pull the troops out of Iraq to expanding the war in Afghanistan * Promising the American people there would be no lobbyists in his administration and then hiring some of the world's slimiest corporate lobbyists from Monsanto and Raytheon.
