You are so very right ! A good place to learn more about the Left’s involvement in “dumbing down” our children is Samuel Blumenfeld’s works, including “N.E.A.: Trojan Horse in American Education” and “The New Illiterates and How You Can Keep Your Child from Becoming One”, and also
“Is Public Education Necessary?”.

Sam Blumenfeld is a former teacher for the New York Public School system, who saw the problems of the system early in his career, (the kids weren’t learning to read correctly, using the Look and Say Method (for instance, remember Dick and Jane? Yep.. Dick and Jane used the Whole Language method, which is more commonly known as the LOOK SAY teaching method.)

Sam has since worked tirelessly to awake the public to the dangers of Public Education..his books are well researched, (with footnotes galore!)..the HISTORY of the modern Educational system is an eye-opener, for sure.

Most of the men who were involved in the formation of the modern public educational system were PROGRESSIVES (SOCIALISTS, in other words) who had an AGENDA. Even though they started as far back as the 1890’s, they didn’t see the achievement of the fruits of their labors until the people were sufficiently Dumbed Down to the point of electing a Socialist to the Presidency, in 2008. And, it WILL get worse - it will never get better, under the Liberal leadership of the N.E.A.(teachers unions) Conservatives have to abandon the Public School system altogether. The Public School system is broken and cannot be fixed.

I personally taught my daugter how to read when she was four years old, using Blumenfeld’s “ALPHAPHONICS” - the book costs 25 dollars, and took less than 6 months to teach her how to read ANYTHING.. Teaching True Phonics WORKS! Teaching The Whole Language Method (Look Say) will continue to produce Functional Illiterates who can’t THINK for themselves..which was the GOAL of the PROGRESSIVES who developed the Whole Language Methodology.

Sam Blumenfeld has produced a number of lectures on the History of the Modern Educational system; and the disaster of haveing an entire nation filled with functional illiterates, which is the result of teaching the WHOLE LANGUAGE methodology.. also, how to teach phonics correctly.. if any of ya’ll are interested in hearing these lectures, let me know, I’ll post them on mediafire, the, I’ll post the link here, so anyone can download them in Mp3 format to listen to them..
