Public Schools – Ann’s Comments

Posted on by

I had to post these excellent comments and insight from Ann…

From Ann (Public Schools)

Part #1 –

Back in the 80s, I did homeschool my children for a time in California. I thought things would be better when we moved to Idaho. But back in the early 90s, I saw things I didn’t like in public schools there so started studying the education system hard. When I called the Federal Department of Public Education, I pretended I was a teacher and asked for the new Outcome Based Education project so I could understand it better. They sent a huge packet with everything I needed to know. The thing is…it was not from the Department of Education. It was from the Federal Department of Labor!

Also, as far as the “Critical Thinking” tag goes it is still around just not called “Critical Thinking.” You see, whenever some of the public gets wise to one of deep-states programs and speaks negatively about it, they change the name so we think they got rid of it.

“Critical thinking” is a kind of thinking in which you question, analyze, interpret, evaluate, and make a judgment about what you read, hear, say, or write. It should be a very good thing but back when it was the buzzword and used with the deep-state’s intentions in the education programs, it was used to critically think about everything students learned from their parents at home. It certainly wasn’t used to think for yourself and analyze what you were being taught at school.

When those of us who were wise to this started speaking out against it [questioning what students learned from parents], then it kind of disappeared, in name anyway. If you are wise to their use of language it is easy to pick up on their double-speak. If not, you think you are getting something good when it’s really not good.

My friend, Julie, and I studied that pamphlet [from the Department of Labor] and read other books on our Education System. We called our Idaho Department of Education to ask about this new thing. They told us that there were community planning meetings all around the state so they could get parent’s input. We asked when the meetings were and they had already happened!

Turns out they were secret! No one ever heard of them! It was Bulldozed! To make a long story short I did what every good person who wants to be informed and have a good impact on education does. I started asking questions. The next thing I knew, I was INVITED, by letter, to join the 5-year planning commission to implement this new program into our district. I knew I was invited because I was a parent, an elementary home-schooler with teens at the high school, and a Christian. I thought it was wonderful! I could do my duty and check and make sure that none of the crud made its way into the schools.

At my first meeting, there were 25 to 30 people. Maybe only 5 of us were parents. There were teachers, administrators, and people at the district level. Very interesting. I knew enough to figure out pretty quickly that there was one certain person (a stranger) who seemed to bring up ideas and do it in such a way that other people around the table would take it and run with it. No one seemed to notice that ‘they’, meaning the community, didn’t actually have the idea themselves. They felt they did! I call this person the ‘gatekeeper.’ He was planted. It was his job to bring the idea and to implement this new program in such a way that the community thought the whole thing was theirs. I also learned pretty quickly that if you objected to something, all discussions stopped, and all effort was placed on you to whittle you down until you did agree. Very demeaning and ugly. They did not proceed until you agreed. It made a person scared to comment at all!

And here’s the rub I discovered; if you said nothing to object, it meant you agreed! It’s called CONSENSUS. I hate that word! The object was to have a final product in which all tenants of local society had a say and they created a plan for the school district. My name would have been listed on the Education Plan for the district even if I did not agree with the plan!

Luckily hubs lost his job and we moved. I was never so glad to get out of that evil situation. It was evil to me because I knew enough to recognize the evil. Very important in these latter days! When all was said and done, all school districts in the USA had the same plan. All school districts also thought their plan was unique and their own!

Satan has an overall plan. The plan is to take away our free agency. It always has been. The best way for him to do this, and it’s worked all through the Earth’s history, is through government. How can he do this through the government? He starts in school. Actually, he starts in colleges to raise progressive teachers who then go teach in elementary schools.

Remember how Hitler did it? He had his core of youth that were trained (brainwashed) and eventually even turned in their parents. (Oh, nothing like that would ever happen here in the USA!) It’s been going on in our country for a long time now. It comes under various names like Outcome Based Education, Goals 2000, No Child Left Behind, Quality Education, and Common Core just to name a few.

Like I said before, it seems like the name changes when people figure out that it might not be so good. Satan is good at that. He keeps the same programs but changes the names to fool everyone. It works too! It works because IT SOUNDS GOOD! How can it be a bad thing to have a “Quality” Education? I call it ‘double-speak’ much like politicians. You and I have a good mindset so think they want the same for our children. They have a whole different plan and want people to be followers…workers…submissive. “Quality” to them means something completely different because they have a whole different plan for all of us.

Once Julie and I started studying and figuring it all out we taught what we discovered in neighborhood meetings. There are many Christians out there who understand the signs of these last days. They would invite us and we gave 3-hour discussions in their homes, not to convince them to homeschool but to give them the knowledge to decide what was best for their families. They were thankful. In ALL of our teaching moments, not one LDS member invited us to talk to them!

The LDS Church is all for education, but the members are slumbering to educate themselves. When I ask that question they always say the same thing, “Because it’s too political and I don’t like to think about politics!”
