OUTSIDE OF JOHN DEWEY, WHO ARE THE OTHERS WHO HAVE DONE THE MOST DAMAGE TO OUR CHILDREN THROUGH THEIR EDUCATION?
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER - The 1st Education Board (GEB) was created in 1902 after this man donated $1M to the cause and the cause was control and brainwashing. This fund grew to $180M and its purpose was to support and encourage PROGRESSIVISM. Rockefeller believed that by keeping the poor youth in vocational type jobs, it would aid "his" type of progressives to have more control over the country. Although the GEB financially aided hurting schools financially, time and again their recommendations focused on vocational training and no college encouragement. The board's mindset was as Rockefellers - that a child's future was laid out for them when they were born so if your father worked the coal finds or was a carpenter, you were never to reach for any higher goals. Never, Ever, think that the GED and those involved in this form of cruelty had nothing to do with the beginning of the Education Unions and the current School Board Systems.

PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER - Although it was Andrew Johnson who launched the 1st Dept. of Education in 1867, and it didn't go well at all. President Andrew Johnson signed the Department of Education Act in 1867 reluctantly, and only after he had been assured it was harmless. It was a meek agency. Congress authorized it to have just four employees including the Commissioner – and with limited powers to “collecting such statistics and facts as shall show the condition and progress of education in the U.S. Even with the departments set limits of authority, many in Congress were not happy seeing the whole move as an "unconstitutional" power grab and a data gathering bank. Much happened that 1st year, and in 1868 when Edu. Comm Barnard gave his report to Congress, Congress rebuked him and his ideas/requests. He resigned!
Interestingly at that same Congressional mtg, Rep. Andrew Rogers (D-NJ) declared: “I am content, sir, to leave this matter of education where our fathers left it, where the history of our country left it, to the school systems of the different towns, cities and states…[This legislation] proposes to collect such statistics which will give a controlling power over the schools systems of the states.”
