Globalist Indoctrination in Our Schools

On February 20, 2006, the Board of Education of the Upper St. Clair public schools ignited a firestorm in this normally tranquil community near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, by voting to eliminate the UNESCO-backed International Baccalaureate Organization program in their elementary, middle, and high schools.

It's all here.

But what's it all about?

The board acted partly for fiscal reasons. Too much money was being spent on an elitist program that benefited too few students, they reasoned, especially since equivalent Advanced Placement courses would still be available to interested students.

However, the issue has also become the fault line for the cultural war dividing our country today. Some board members were troubled by the secular, one world government ideology that underlies the International Baccalaureate program. The program has faced similar challenges around the country, claiming that its curriculum is contrary to American values.

This is some scary stuff...the insidious teaching of global socialism in our schools. The article gives an in-depth look at the program and UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) that is well worth the read. Jake and I don't have kids but, if we did, you can bet your bottom dollar I'd be making sure they weren't being taught this crap.

Taxpayers’ money is being used to teach this tripe in our public schools all over the country, whether as part of the International Baccalaureate program or in separate courses. There is no intellectual balance to enable students to truly think for themselves.
