A Representative Government - for the people, by the people!
ABOLISHING REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT THROUGH EDUCATION: COMMON CORE, CHOICE & CHARTER SCHOOLS
PART 1 of 4 By Anita Hoge
Transforming America One City at a Time:
Is this country at a tipping point? How do you transform our Republic? There are four main issues I will discuss in this article:
• Governance—removing locally elected school officials;
• Funding—ushering in federal choice and vouchers under the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) which will change our system of taxing and financing schools to one where the funding will follow the child (this is also a means to control private schools and expand charter schools);
• Charter schools—replacing your local neighborhood school with a zealous for-profit agenda so that there will no longer be parent or voter input, or elected school boards, specifically with an aim to kill public education.
• Common Core Standards—ushering in a system of individualized, psychotherapeutic learning; the standardization of teaching, testing, and technology in all 50 states; nationalizing education ; and changing traditional education based on academics to a workforce training model.
The combination of all four points above puts this scenario together. It demonstrates that this is the plan for the destruction of our country. The following stories tell the tale.
New Orleans. New York. Chicago. Detroit. Philadelphia. Washington DC, and countless other cities are casting a glimpse in how this nation is being transformed. If these large cities can be transformed, what chance do small cities and towns have to sidestep government takeover? There are both Democrat and Republican fingerprints all over this agenda. Based on a crisis such as a natural disaster, financial bankruptcy, corruption, or some other incident, there is an agenda to take control of a city’s schools by transferring all authority to the mayor or the governor. In 2006, an action guide for mayors was published by the United States Conference for Mayors and funded by the Gates Foundation called, "Mayoral Leadership and Involvement in Education, An Action Guide for Success." It detailed a step-by-step process to gain control over a city, particularly its schools. Similarly, in 2008, the National Governor's Association wrote a report, "State Support for High Performing Charter School Expansion," which was a plan for state governors to expand charter schools. Is this the bigger plan? READ MORE
