Due to an increase in requests for my 1985 booklet Back to Basics
Reform Or...OBE *Skinnerian International Curriculum?
http://www.deliberatedumbingdown.com/pages/back_to_basics_reform.html
(48 pages), which is now out-of-print, the author has decided to make
the booklet available free on this website. This will enable the
reader to understand how the long-planned controversial restructuring
of education from academics to workforce training, necessary for the
planned global economy and United States participation in a socialist
world government, was finalized between 1980 and the present time,
and to take action to put a stop to education restructuring. Although
the 150-year history of this unconstitutional agenda is documented in
the deliberate dumbing down of america...A Chronological Paper Trail,
1999, Back to Basics Reform Or...... lets the reader peek into the
laboratory of the change agents at the U.S. Department of Education
in the early eighties, when and where the author worked as a Senior
Policy Advisor, with access to confidential planning. The author was
fired for leaking a very important document to the press. However,
since she knew she would get fired for doing so, she managed to
remove all the incriminating documents from her office prior to
leaking the one most important document. Much of the information
gleaned from these purloined documents is found in "Back to Basics
Reform Or...". The period about which the author writes was the
period during which the Pavlovian/Skinnerian Outcomes Based Education
was institutionalized for all students, not just the minorities who
had been victimized by the federally-funded method since the mid-
sixties. When the Skinnerian/Pavlovian method necessary for work
force training...mastery learning/direct instruction, OBE... "worked"
(dumbed down the minorities), obviously through no fault of their
own, it was decided to use this "successful" method on all American
children, which is what we see happening today through Goals 2000,
The School to Work Opportunities Act, and most recently, The No Child
Left Behind Act which mandates the use of scientific research based
reading instruction which is based on the animal training methods of
Pavlov and Skinner. Once all teachers have been retrained in this
method to teach reading, it can be used for teaching/training in all
subjects, but it is especially well-suited for work force training
and computer-assisted-instruction. It is referred to by knowledgeable
education researchers as " Limited Learning for Lifelong Labor"!
Nationwide distribution of this little booklet could have resulted in
the abolition of the unconstitutional U.S. Department of Education,
something President Reagan had promised the American people during
his campaign for President. This would, of course, have stopped the
controversial education restructuring we see today. However, that was
not to be since the major conservative organizations in our country,
now referred to as neoconservative, successfully boycotted the
booklet, and, although 50,000 copies were sold at the grassroots
level, it is unlikely that more than a few elected officials ever had
the opportunity to read it and act upon its recommendations. Please
use the two versions of this booklet as you wish, but especially get
the booklet into the hands of your elected officials at the local,
state, and federal level. They are the ones you should lobby for
abolishing the unconstitutional Department of Education. If we want
to bring traditional academic education back to the local level, in
the hands of locally elected school boards, teachers, and parents,
and to restore education to its legitimate role in the creation of
upward mobility for our children, i.e. freedom to chose one's
occupation, the U.S. Department of Education, which is in partnership
with the U.S. Department of Labor and the United Nations, MUST be
abolished. Abolishing the Department of Education would also deal an
almost lethal blow to the change agents' plans to put us under the
United Nations global economic system. The rats would have to jump
off their sinking ship!

There can be no better time than right now to contact your elected
officials since all Americans, including public school teachers,
administrators, state Governors, school board members, parents,
Congressmen and Senators, etc. are up in arms over the Leave No Child
Behind Act which mandates national testing which obviously calls for
a national curriculum geared only to training our children as human
resources for the global economy!
