Most likely you've heard Albert Einstein's definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Nowhere is this more obvious today than with political and religious conservatives. They send millions of their own children to public schools that are controlled by the left – where the liberals teach their own "values," "morals" and curriculum. Is it possible that there is a direct link between our country's precipitous slide into socialism and decades of indoctrination in leftist school ideologies? Well, let's remember what some of the most influential educators have said:
John Dewey, father of modem public education and signer of the Humanist Manifesto, said: "There is no room for fixed … or moral absolutes."
C.F. Potter, another educator and signer of the Humanist Manifesto, said: "What can a theistic Sunday school's meeting for an hour once a week and teaching only a fraction of the children do to stem the tide of the five-day program of humanistic teaching?"
Chester Pierce, professor of education at Harvard University, said: "Every child in America entering schools at the age of 5 is insane because he comes to schools with certain allegiances toward our Founding Fathers, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity."
Dr. Sidney Simon, creator of "Values Clarification," said: "Values clarification is a method for teachers to change the values of children without getting caught."
Conservatives have spent millions of dollars trying to reform public schools but with zero success. When children are subjected to 12 years of liberal ideologies, the big majority of them will grow up to think, act and vote like liberals. How long can conservatives hold out against the public schools proselytizing our children to believe in their leftist worldview?
