Do we want to destroy our country and replace it with a more progressive one? Or obey our Constitution and restore the republic?
May 3, 2015
I went to a Common Core Town Hall meeting the other night and I heard the emcee admit that he and other county school board members had been so anxious to get rid of No Child Left Behind that they “fell for” Common Core. They hated NCLB so much that they thought ANYthing would be better. Boy, were they fooled! He also said that the state senate president had admitted to him that the senate had made a mistake in believing the state school board and, therefore, not repealing Common Core. The senators were fooled, too!
I couldn’t help but notice the similarities between Common Core and another C C—the Article V Constitutional Convention. Because the federal government is such a disaster, we feel we must do SOMEthing. But, let’s not be fooled (conned) into doing the WRONG thing.
Notice that—even though the federal government has NO (zero!) constitutional authority to involve itself in education—federal influence is not new. In fact, the growth of public education has been concurrent with the growth of the federal government. Let’s take a look at a book published in 1886—129 years ago, when the constitution was a mere 99 years old. Zach Montgomery, a lawyer and elected office-holder, wrote Poison Drops in the Federal Senate—The School Question From A Parental And Non-Sectarian Standpoint because he objected to mandatory public education. His facts showed that states which followed the “New England System” of requiring public education (anti-parental states in his opinion) produced more criminals, paupers and suicides than the parental states.
In addition, Montgomery accuses all the states (38 at that time) of indoctrinating students through a re-defining of certain words, teaching them the lie that the states are subordinate to a strong centralized federal government. The reason he supposes for such a twisting of historical facts being forcibly fed to the children is that control and corruption of education were necessary to facilitate a takeover of the federal government. I submit to you that the takeover has indeed occurred and the public education fraud continues today in order to support the facade that amazingly still keeps many people from realizing that we have lost “constitutional liberty and the inestimable right of democratic self-government” - and the people no longer have any influence in the governing of the country.
Montgomery writes:
"But they well understand that before striking this blow the minds of the people must be prepared to receive it. And what surer or safer preparation could possibly be made than is now being made, by indoctrinating the minds of the rising generation with the idea that ours is already a consolidated government; that the States of the Union have no sovereignty which is not subordinate to the will and pleasure of the Federal head, and that our Constitution is the mere creature of custom, and may therefore be legally altered or abolished by custom?
Such are a few of the pernicious and poisonous doctrines which ten millions of American children are today drinking in with the very definitions of the words they are compelled to study. And yet the man who dares to utter a word of warning of the approaching danger is stigmatized as an enemy to education and unfit to be mentioned as a candidate for the humblest office."
Because I value individual freedom and abhor collectivism, I feel compelled to alert other freedom-lovers about the dangers of a constitutional convention at this time in our country’s history. I also strongly believe that the forces at work to destroy our country and our society in order to establish a global government are part of a spiritual warfare that is as old as Satan. This is my reason for writing this blog.

Charlotte Iserbyte, in The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, quotes from government documents to prove that American education’s purpose is “to brainwash our children, starting at birth, to reject individualism in favor of collectivism” and to use “the schools to change America from a free, individual nation to a socialist, global 'state,' just one of many socialist states which will be subservient to the United Nations Charter, not the United States Constitution.” Download this book at http://deliberatedumbingdown.com/
