Brainwashing continued

Government School

Do you know what the first lesson you learned in school was? No, it wasn't the ABC's or how to count. It wasn't even to raise your hand when you have to go to the bathroom. The first lesson you learned in Public School was that what you think is not important. What the teacher says is what matters. This sets you up nicely for your entire life. "Listen to the experts and don't think too much." This lesson is further enforced latter. I am sure you remember being taught (about fourth grade?) that the Civil War was fought to free the slaves. Somewhere around eighth grade, however, you were told it was fought over state's rights. If you had a test that asked "Why was the Civil War fought" and answered "to free the slaves" you would be marked wrong. Truth, you see, is relative to who the expert of the moment is and we are to change our views depending on what they tell us.

I was raised in public school but I homeschool my own children (my parents would have homeschooled me had they known it was an option). I am in the position to compare the two.

Public school didn't really care about what I learned, only whether I did as I was told and was a good little girl. I didn't learn much.

Oh this isn't sour grapes from someone who didn't do good in school. I was that quiet little girl in the back of the room that always got straight A's on every test, who every teacher loved, and who was friends with every group in school, even those of different races. I graduated fourth in my class of more than 200 with an A average. I could have easily gone on to college and done very well. I was a "success" you see.

But I never felt like I was learning anything. I didn't really give a hoot what letter some teacher put on a piece of paper. I even quit classes I got A's in because I wasn't LEARNING anything. I could see the problem, even though I couldn't put it into words at the time. What the school really cared about was that I showed up, did as I was told, and didn't cause problems. They didn't give a hoot what I knew and didn't know. Oh, most of the teachers did, sort of, when they weren't too overworked to notice.

Why do I talk about this in an article on brain washing? You see, my research over the last twenty years has led me to believe that the purpose of public school has nothing to do with teaching reading and History. America was far more literate before public school was imported here in 1853. The system that was chosen for import was not the one with the highest literacy rate (actually that was England and our system was already very similar to theirs but with an even higher literacy rate). No, the system that was imported ("all kids except those of the very rich must attend a state run school with state run curriculum") was the one from Germany; the one with the highest obedience rate of its citizens.

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” Psalms 1:1

If you wanted to take a Christian, independent, thinking group of farmers and turn them into Atheistic, socialist, obedient factory workers (as we are today), how would you go about it? You can't stand up and tell everyone they should just change. They would ignore you or tell you why you were wrong.

The way to change what this country was in the mid 1800's to what it is today would be to first pass laws to force everyone to put their children into government schools. You wouldn't go after those teaching their own children at home just yet. Just those that are using private schools (or the much smaller Damn schools) and those that let their children get jobs during the day and teach them at night. After a generation of propaganda making people believe that a superior education is found in government schools, you institute teaching certificates. This forces the old teachers that believe in God out and lets the new teachers taught at your colleges with your "new, scientific (socialist) methods" in. Then you crack down on the homeschoolers and anyone else who resists. You gradually change the curriculum every generation to have less God and more man, less freedom and more security (socialism), less prudent money management and more consumerism (Pro 22:7 "The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." Debt creats a slave class that has no choice but to obey the rich.) Every few years you institute "new" teaching methods that invariably look a lot like the old ones, but make people think you are doing something to improve education. You encourage peer pressure to force those that would otherwise be independent into obedience. You would expect this to take a hundred years or so to complete. Now do our current schools make more sense?

Think about what the teachers were really happiest with when you were in school. My husband tells of his sixth grade class taking a special astronomy study one year. His big brother happened to be taking astronomy at the city college at the same time so he picked my hubby up every day and took him to class with him. At the end of the semester the elementary teacher tried to fail my husband. Why? Because he didn't know the material? No, he knew it better than any student she had taught (seems astronomy is pretty much the same whether you are in a college classroom or a sixth grade classroom. The difference was 1) the college professor presented all the material and expected his students to take away what they could while the grade school teacher only presented the part of the study "appropriate to sixth graders" and 2) the city collage held its astronomy class in an observatory with moving stars on the ceiling. Much easier to understand then the books and charts the sixth grade teacher was using). She tried to flunk him because he missed her classes. That is all. What he knew was irrelevant. How many teachers told you that attendance was a big part of your grade? Shouldn't you have got a good grade if you knew the material even if you never came to class? No, of course not. The whole point of school is to prepare you for the future, you know, show up to work at the factory when you are told, do what you are told, pee when you are told, eat when you are told, go home when you are told. Never mind that many people live without this kind of job and many, many more could. In fact, wouldn't it prepare us better for the future to teach us how to be innovative and think outside the box? Be self motivating and independent? Not for the future envisioned by those that control our education.

Those who funded the importation of the German public school system into this country were all very rich industrial moguls. They believed in evolution and socialisim. They despised individualists and, ironicly, the very capitalist system that gave them their riches. They believed they were superior to everyone else

The entire system we know as “public schools” is designed to make us believe what those in charge want us to believe and to behave as they want us to behave.

Even those teachers that I had that were Christian had been taught by Atheists and were teaching with textbooks written by Atheists.

“The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.” Luke 6:40

If the disciple (or student) is like his master (teacher), than a Christian taught by Atheists will have an Atheist thought pattern, even if they don't realize it. Many teachers that would throw a tissy fit if told to teach that there is no God, unknowingly teach just that by not teaching God in their History and Science classes. If you do not acknowledge God, especially in these subjects, you are saying He had no part in either the History of this planet nor the continued functioning of it. How often do you think in terms of "...are more advanced (evolved) now,” “Primal urges,” “Lucky occurance,” “Modern Wisdom,” “Ignorant Primatives,” etc? In most cases, these are statements straight from Atheisim/evolution. No teacher ever stood up in one of my classes and declared that there was no God, nor that I had to have an abortion or take drugs or quit going to church. That I could easily have ignored or even have openly fought. No, it was much more subtle, wrapped up in the assumption that evolution, Atheism, and Socialisim were true. Never outright stated, but taught just the same.

“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” Colosians 3:17

Tell me, did your math teacher teach in the name of Jesus? How about your History teacher? English? Science?

“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30 Luke 11:23

Was your education "With" Jesus? No? Than it was against Him. You were indoctrinated into an Atheist world view. You were brain washed.

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10
