Charlotte Iserbyt: Deliberate Dumbing Down of the World

Deliberately dumb

“Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt’s new book, ‘ the deliberate dumbing down of america’ is without doubt one of the most important publishing events in the annals of American education in the last hundred years.

“John Dewey’s ‘School and Society,’ published in 1899, set American education on its course to socialism. Rudolf Flesch’s `Why Johnny Can’t Read’ published in 1955, informed American parents that there was something terribly wrong with the way the schools were teaching children to read …

“But Iserbyt has done what no one else wanted or could do. She has put together the most formidable and practical compilation of documentation describing the well-planned ‘deliberate dumbing down’ of American children by their education system.’” Samuel L. Blumenfeld, writing on “Deliberately dumbing us down,” Dec. 2 on World Net Daily at worldnetdaily.com

Charlotte Iserbyt served as Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education, during the first Reagan Administration, where she first blew the whistle on a major technology initiative which would control curriculum in America’s classrooms.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." ~Ronald Reagan, 40th president of U.S.

    Ronald Reagan, 40th president of U.S. during his Presidency the US stopped directly funding the nations public schools, telling America that the funding allocated for education, would be passed directly to the states which would henceforth be responsible for education. As soon as the state people got the money, they put their kids, who could not read and write themselves, on the education payroll as teachers. See the looted and destroyed school book repository in Detroit with a tree growing among the abandoned books.

    Then get as many pseudo intellectuals and wankers like Chomsky or Harold Bloom, or the arch wanker himself Karl Sagan on TV get them to tell the public about a big bang, then tell them nineteen Arabs brought down the WTC on 911, and that the live link from NY to the President’s speaking engagement in Florida on 911 was anything but proof of treason in the White House.

    Get the same idiots to tell you Adolph Hitler gassed the Jews… it was an inside job, the Ashkenazi Jews wanted to eliminate all non Zionist Jews so they came up with the Holocaust and blamed it on AH. Podhoretz and Kristol want to bomb Iran, they are traitors who are working to the destruction of the USA.

    I’m a US citizen born overseas. When I came here at age 16, I was a mediocre borderline bad student. I studied hard and memorized just to barely scrape under the door to get to the next level. When I attended the public school in the USA, I studied as I use to do overseas but when the result of the test came out, I had the highest score out of all three classes. Guys, from an outsider looking in, I can tell you now, what Alex and Charlotte is saying is true. You guys are lagging behind. Some of the things I was introduce to in a US highschool, I remember learning in 4th grade overseas. This issue needs to be addressed. First step to everything is acceptance.

    This is a deliberate fault of the ruling-class. I’ve been around the US for over 40 years now, and the dumbest thing about the American working-class is their complete disconnect with the reality of their ruling-class leaders.

    The ruling-class of the USA fears the little people and deliberately programs to be stupid and incompetent, because a capable and intelligent working-class represents a potentially powerful revolutionary force which, history records, has been known to overthrow its wealthy ruling-class time and again.

    The US ruling-class are not stupid. They recognize that history repeats itself and have deliberately made the working-class dumb so that they pose less of a potential threat to the absolute power of the ruling-class that runs the US government. This dumbing-down is no mistake; it is a deliberate act engineered by the ruling-class because they like hording all the wealth and power and want to keep it that way forever.

    Show me tiny pieces clean
    Fitted each and none between
    Guide this sluggish matter gray
    From savage dark to light of day

    Good info, but an 80-year-old wrinkled white-haired granny woman trying to look 30 years younger by sticking on a horrible looking brown wig STILL looks like…an 80-year-old wrinkled granny woman pretending she’s 50 wearing a god-awful brown wig. The lady speaks the truth…if only we could just listen, instead of watch…her credibility would rise 100%.

    To paul a. who submitted his/her comment on Jan 25th

    What an utterly banal,insulting comment about a person who has spent years trying to expose the deliberate dumbing down of people such as yourself. I was educated in the UK. I’m assuming that you received your “education” in the US and that good manners was not part of the curriculum.

    To paul a. if she was a 50 year old wearing a white wig… would that give you a stiffy ole boy?

    To Paul A. That was great use of Irony! Due to a dumbing down of the general population, you fooled others into thinking you were serious! Bravo!

    This is the problem: some people work really hard and become rich, and they have kids, and the kids do not have a clue about hard work. When their parents die, what we are left with are a bunch of spoiled brats in positions of power who don’t know their ass from a hole in a ground. Want an example? George W. Bush. Then they get easily threatened by other people willing to work hard, and so we get tyranny. It’s just that simple, isn’t it?

    Are my comments being posted or not? This is a test and only a test. People who claim to be upholders of truth, and who supposedly believe in the First Amendment, Free Speech and are supposedly against censorship, are themselves censoring the comments of those they don’t like, and comments that are nothing but truth and have absolutely nothing wrong with them, and/or comments that say absolutely nothing illegal or inappropriate in any fashion.

    I see that Freddy Fatt has accused a Jewish group of orchestrating the Jewish Holocaust, and has expressed a bit of empathy for Adolph Hitler (…Hitler was blamed for the holocaust). He/she is a holocaust revisionist. What a freakish anti-Semitic rant!
