1. Social promotion into grades
where they are unable to compete, having failed to acquire the basic
skills in the previous year.
2. Math courses in which the
memorization of multiplication tables is neither required, nor
encouraged. Teachers who believe math, an absolute science, can be
absorbed by osmosis.
3. Being in classrooms where the
teacher is now a "facilitator" and students are expected to
learn from each other.
4. School books of every
description in which children are taught to worship the earth or "Gaia",
the earth as God.
5. Deceptive permission slips
sent home where "physical examinations" do not mention the
inclusion of genital examinations for young girls. School health centers
that provide information about sexual behavior contrary to the beliefs
or wishes of parents.
6. Geography courses where
students are asked to make a "Me Map" that has nothing to do
with the nations of the world, locations of oceans, rivers or mountain
ranges, but rather becomes a device to shape the student's social
values.
7. English classes where
students are posed ethical questions including those requiring decisions
as to who should die and who should live.
8. Science courses that falsely
teach that the earth is running out of energy resources, that forests
are disappearing, that the provision of abundant food crops is bad
because of the use of agricultural chemicals that have been safely
applied for decades, and barely hidden advertisements for environmental
groups such as the Sierra Club.
9. The widespread administration
of mind altering drugs to students, often without the parent's
permission or knowledge, for alleged disorders such as Attention Deficit
Disorder.
10. The intrusion of often
poorly trained "social workers" conducting unsolicited home
visits with the power to remove a child they deem to be "at
risk."
