SCHOOL CHOICE IS AMERICA’S TROJAN HORSE - PT 1
By Charlotte Iserbyt June 12, 2013 NewsWithViews.com
Public and private school choice proposals, being promoted by the Obama Administration, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and the neoconservative Trotskyite/corporate conglomerate, if implemented, will spell the end of traditional education in the United States. Tax-supported school choice proposals affecting public, private, religious, and home school education are the vehicle to change not only the right of Americans to choose what kind of education they wish for their children, but may also result in changing our representative form of government to an "unelected council form of government" due to one form of school choice, charter schools, run by “unelected councils.
Under the proposed school choice proposals, including Parent Trigger laws, education is being surreptitiously converted from academics to socialist work force training, necessary for the United States imminent merging into a global, collectivized economy.
Please see Marc Tucker's letter to Hillary Clinton, 1998, and also a portion of the text of Carnegie Corporation's 1934 plan to bring about a planned economy through the schools, as well as the information in this article explaining the history of this conversion to a "womb to tomb" totalitarian society. Authentic documentation for the content of this article can be obtained here and here. (The latter contains a Free Download of the out-of-print 700-page "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America"). A new abridged and updated (1999-2012) version of the original 1999 copy is available at Amazon.com. The updated version deals with corporate involvement in school to work plans, school choice, International Baccalaureate, the substitution of computers for academic teachers and traditional book learning, UN Agenda 21 (Sustainable Development), and the century-long use of values-destroying mental health programs, etc.
The research used in this article documents the plan to change America from a free enterprise competitive economic system to a planned economy necessary for United States membership in the global economic system. The plan is being implemented in every state in the nation right now! It seems ALL state governors are on board, including Maine's Governor LePage, who we traditional conservatives (NOT Trotskyite neoconservatives) worked our hearts out to get elected as a so-called traditional conservative. LePage was co-opted, prior to his election, by The Maine Heritage Policy Center (affiliated with the national neoconservative Heritage Foundation which has affiliates in most states). Maine Heritage manipulated Governor LePage into supporting all forms of school choice which are essential for work force training. MORE

SCHOOL CHOICE IS AMERICA’S TROJAN HORSE-PT 2
Twenty-nine year public school veteran teacher, Steven Schran. and I attended the press conference of Maine Governor LePage, and Maine Heritage Foundation's clone, Commissioner of Education Bowen, held July 24, 2012 in the State Capitol, to outline the Governor's plan to change our schools from academics to Work Force Training.
Here is the announcement of the press conference we attended:

LePage Administration Sets Education Agenda Reform begins with the ABC’s – accountability, best practices, and choice
AUGUSTA
– Following a report released by Harvard University’s Program on Education Policy and Governance (PEPG), Governor Paul LePage and Education Commissioner Stephen Bowen will hold a media conference in the Hall of Flags of the State House on Wednesday, July 25 to discuss Maine’s educational system and the Administration’s plan moving forward. The conference will begin at 2:00 p.m.
The PEPG report, an analysis of growth trends of student performance in math, reading, and science, ranked Maine 40th out of the 41 participating American states. The study examined test scores from one U.S. series of tests and three series of tests administered by international organizations given to fourth and eighth grade students across the country.
In 1992, Maine was ranked 3rd in the nation in overall test scores, but has fallen nine places since then. Maine is currently ranked 12th in overall test scores – the lowest of the participating New England States.
Governor LePage and Commissioner Bowen will present in more detail the findings of the PEPG report at the conference, as well as discuss initiatives to improve Maine’s educational system.
“This report reaffirms what we already know: that the status quo in Maine is not working,” said Governor LePage. “Our educational system has neglected to put its students first, and has therefore failed them. We have a lot of work to do to rejuvenate our academic performance.”
Education is a key priority of the LePage Administration, and it is a critical component to a prosperous economy. Last year, Governor LePage increased funding to general purpose aid for education by $63 million over the two-year budget.
During the 125th Legislature, the Governor led the initiative to allow charter schools in Maine for the first time, giving more choices to Maine families. The Governor also introduced a series of reforms to improve Career and Technical Education in Maine, bringing it back to the forefront of education and Commissioner Stephen Bowen created comprehensive legislation addressing educator effectiveness, making sure Maine’s educators are evaluated regularly, given the training and support they need to improve, and are held accountable for student achievement and growth.
“We have come to a pivotal moment for the future of Maine’s educational system. We have proof that past methods have not been effective. We now have a chance to change our educational system for the better,” said Commissioner Bowen. MORE
