The History of Dumbed-Down Education in America – from Mann to Dewey to Obama and Beyond
In this short and insightful speech, international journalist and educator Alex Newman, co-author of Crimes of the Educator, explains the history of dumbed-down government education in America. He starts with the founders, goes on to Prussian school-model supporter Horace Mann, to Rockefeller-backed “progressive” education godfather John Dewey, all the way to the Common Core backed by Obama. Newman also explains where this is all going–a global education regime for dumbing down humanity–if it’s not stopped. Along the way, Alex also accuses the education establishment of massive crimes against children and America. One of the biggest ones involves deliberately reducing the literacy of the American people using “whole word” or “look-say” or “sight word” methods of teaching reading instead of what works: phonics.

4:49 to 5:45 you went off the rails into La La land. Pornographic sex education in KINDERGARTEN? Who is or was doing that? SCHOOL TEACHING SATANISM?!? You did a great disservice to your presentation and this important topic with this right wing propaganda.
lol I don't read because i discovered many years ago that what man writes is for a profit not necessary for the Truth.
Morons!
5:13 I was looking at this video until it hit this part, nope, religion has no place in the education system. While it is a pretty terrible system, the lack of religion is not the reason for that, immediate dislike. You can be for reforming the education system and all that but once you bring religion into it, you have lost the plot.
Awesome research and presentation.. Thank you for confirming my suspicions from my own research… " None are more hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely think they are free.."— Johannes Wolfgang… Grace and TRUTH to all..
A gross misreading/non-reading of Dewey, who published 37 volumes. Dewey argued against "progressive education" in Experience and Education 1938. Dewey would never argue for a wholesale education "system." He thought each school needed to be responsive to the needs of its communities. This speaker has merely mined Dewey for quotations that he can twist. He has not read Dewey's corpus. Not a chance.
This is by far one of the BEST VIDEOS on YouTube!!!!
No religion should be taught in school.I was not born thinking I had a creator other than my parents. I did not have any thoughts of god until my brainwashed Christian uncle tried to force religion on me when I was 8 years old.Religion and education are both systems of control. Do not take my word for it do your own research
