Perhaps I've misunderstood you, but I must disagree. We certainly have this problem here in Australia.Because it's not a universal issue, as in only the US seems to have this problem,

I bought a book on this subject called 'Invisible Eugenics - how the medical system and public schools are killing your children' by a researcher named Marc M. Rich. I haven't read the whole thing yet, but so far I would recommend it. Here is a short excerpt that relates to your post:I actually see a U.S. Army connection to the curriculum issue, which is interesting. Because the shift in the curriculum happened in the late 1970's, I was under the impression that it had a different origin.

In the mid 1800s a small group of wealthy elites started to envision a scientifically managed eugenical society. They were inspired by the utopian concepts described by philosophers such as Plato and Jean Jacques Rousseau. Rousseau, who was influenced by Plato's Republic, expressed his belief that a group of select people would rule the masses through social engineering in his 1762 publication, Emile.
In order to bring about their utopia, the financial elite needed to shape the ideas and behavior of the populace. Methods had to be devised to limit people's ability to think independently. They needed to manufacture citizens who were obedient and intellectually retarded. The traditional family was seen as another obstacle.
Because schools play a basic role in the development of people, the early indoctrination of all children through forced schooling was their solution. Starting in the late 1800s wealthy long-established families such as Morgan, Astor, Whitney, Carnegie, and Rockefeller, used their tax-exempt foundations and large corporations to form a unified public school directorate for the purpose of controlling public education. This would eventually include government agencies and universities.
Frederick T. Gates, Director of Charity for the Rockefeller Foundation, proclaimed in a 1913 General Education Board paper, The Country School of Tomorrow: “The present educational conventions fade from our minds... We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science. We are not to raise up from among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters.”
There was an inner-circle of US colleges and universities that formed the core of their movement. It started with Harvard University in the 1860s; another group that centered around Johns Hopkins University started in the 1880s; in the 1890s more groups at the University of Chicago and Columbia University were formed. Eventually it would include: Yale, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Princeton, Brown, Duke, Cornell, Stanford, University of Virginia, University of Michigan, University of California (Berkeley), Boston College, Boston University, University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill), University of Pennsylvania, Vanderbilt, and Amherst.
The Early Progressive Movement
The financial elite's takeover was made possible by an army of progressive educators who infiltrated the schools. Their progressive ideas originated from two movements. One from the field of behavioral psychology known as behaviorism, the other from secular humanism, also known as the religion of humanism. Many of the behaviorists and progressive educators who formed the early movement were also eugenicists.
The impetus for these progressive philosophies came from a group of Europeans in Germany, France, Great Britain, and eventually the US. The German line, included psychologists such as Ernst Heinrich Weber, Gustav Theodor Fechner, and Wilhelm Wundt, all from the University of Leipzig.
A French line went from French Psychiatrists such as Philippe Pinel and Pierre Marie Félix Janet, to Sigmund Freud and Carl G. Jung. The British line included eugenicists like Charles Darwin and Sir Francis Galton. The US group consisted of those influenced by Galton and Darwin in Britain, such as Charles S. Peirce, William James, Thorstein Veblen, and John Dewey, as well as those who studied under Wundt in Germany, such as James Earl Russell, Granville Stanley Hall, James McKeen Cattell, Charles Hubbard Judd, and Edward Thorndike.
The early progressive educators in the US that launched the movement were in close contact through their networked academic institutions. They were educated and held teaching positions at Columbia, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Chicago. With foundation funding, they published their works and established the credentials that allowed them to get appointed to positions in government and university chairs. They had already usurped the top administrative positions in many American schools by 1917.
By the early 1950s they had obtained strategic positions in premier colleges of education around the US that trained superintendents and principals. From these posts, they appointed only teachers that they approved. By the early 1960s a significant number of these progressive teachers had been placed throughout the US. When this happened, education changed from an emphasis on academic basics, to the realm of behavior modification.
I haven't seen his name mentioned on Clues Forum before, but he may a known dis-info person. If so, I'd like it if anyone in the know can show me where he is repeating deception because his material seems legit and he comes across as sincere as well as having a very clean a direct style of writing, but I am not an expert on all the subjects he covers and he himself may have fallen for some rubbish, as we all have at one point or another.
