Pearson – the British Company That Controls Our American Education PEARSON - THE BRITISH COMPANY THAT CONTROLS OUR AMERICAN EDUCATION SYSTEM There is a growing cancer in this country. It is not fostered neither by China, Russia or Iran, nor by the Latin American countries exporting thousands of their people to our borders. The culprit is a global British corporation, namely, Pearson Education. A year ago this British corporation published a textbook entitle, “By the People: A History of the United States,” for Advanced Placement students. Although this book is nothing beyond pure revisionist history, global British corporation, Pearson Education, markets its revisionist view of our history as an accurate and truthful balanced presentation of United States’ history. In other words, Pearson Education is telling students that what they have presented in their book as our history actually happened. Keep this issue in mind while you read the following excerpt from Pearson’s American “history” book: “Clinton’s supporters feared that the election had been determined by people who were afraid of a rapidly developing ethnic diversity of the country, discomfort with their candidate’s gender and nostalgia for an earlier time in the nation’s history,” the textbook reads. “They also worried about the mental stability of the president-elect and the anger that he and his supporters brought to the nation.” Two major glaring points come across in this one textbook snippet. First, this book was developed for only Advanced Placement students, and therefore is geared toward those students presumably being groomed for the “better” colleges and universities – the so-called elite. So what this book does is take the still yet very impressionable best and brightest in our high schools and condition them to have a negative view of a Republican president and his conservative followers, a conditioned view that is then further ingrained in our colleges and universities. As for the second point - where is the balance? This revisionist account of history depicts President Trump as mentally ill and his supporters as racists. By the same token, the book follows suit with our liberal mainstream media and totally ignores the whopping collection of issues ranging from incompetency, to racketeering, to treasonous behavior that surrounded Hillary Clinton during her candidacy. Issues such as: Benghazi, her email scandal, Uranium One, her Clinton Foundation pay-for- play scheme, etc. Pearson’s book also neatly ignored the fact that President Obama had saddled the country with high taxes and regulations, causing an eight year sadly anemic economy, along with a destabilization of the middle class. The country was desperate for a change that promised a return to American economic growth as well as a stable, growing and prosperous middle class. Trump campaign platform promised this kind of change. He wanted to “Make America Great Again.” He subsequently delivered on his campaign promises. In contrast to Obama, Trump's cutting the high taxes and choke hold business restrictions of the Obama years has allowed the country to enjoy the most robust economy in our nation's history. Still the authors of our new history want gifted students to believe that the current president is borderline mentally insane and his supporters are “irredeemable deplorables.” As I will show, Pearson, a global British corporation, is the cornerstone of our education system, or, as it has evolved with the help of Pearson, our indoctrination system. Supported in full by school boards, teacher unions and even teachers themselves, Pearson strives to inculcate our impressionable youth with a one-sided globalist narrative of how the world should be. Their goal: ensure that all students graduating from college venture out into the world thoroughly indoctrinated against the unique greatness of their own country and its capitalist system. What is Pearson Education? Pearson Education is a British-owned education publishing and assessment service. It services schools and corporations around the world. Over the past 25 years Pearson has managed to gobble up both American and global textbook and educational units. Companies devoured by Pearson include: Addison Wesley, Peachpit, Prentiss Hall, eCollege, Longman, Simon & Schuster, Harper Collins, Harcourt Assessment and International Education, among others. Using these acquisitions as a base, Pearson then formed Pearson International and Pearson North America and put them under one company, Pearson.. This company concentrates on all levels of education, including professional. Pearson operates in 70 countries but Ssxty percent of Pearson’s sales come from North America. Pearson North America is headquartered in New York City. Pearson's school brands include: BTEC, Bug Club, Edexcel, Fronter, GradPoint, Schoolnet, and SuccessNet. Pearson's higher education brands include eCollege, Mastering/MyLabs, Revel, and online tutoring (Smarthinking). As previously mentioned, Pearson’s goal is to inculcate the world public with a progressive narrative, starting at the youngest possible level. In June 2010, Pearson plc received notification that the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA), founded by Muammar Gaddafi's son, held over 24 million shares of the company making them the largest investor. Upon their discovering this fact, the company feigned outrage. It also raised its dividend that year by nine percent, the largest increase in the past decade, providing a windfall profit to the LIA. The Council on Islamic Relations (CAIR) designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the Muslim Brotherhood all have invested in Pearson Education through the LIA. Two years prior to the Obama administration’s Race to the Top initiative in 2007, the FBI uncovered documents revealing the goals of the Muslim Brotherhood, including its subsidiary organizations like CAIR. That group planned to indoctrinate American K-12 students by teaching Islam and denigrating America. The seized documents were part of the 2007 Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terror- funding trial in U.S. history. Why the Change in Focus? With the United Nations push for global education, Pearson wanted to corner the market on educational materials and assessment techniques. Supported by the United Nations, they saw themselves as controlling scientific social engineering. Pearson would become the ultimate purveyor of indoctrination, the very shaper of humanity. They received a big boost from President Obama, who let them in the door when he redid Common Core. Obama already had applied social engineering at the lowest level. He poured funds into the Center for American Progress (CAP) so three and four-year old kiddies could attend a full-day public preschool program. His secretary of education at the time, Arne Duncan, bragged that “parents will have to be working two to three jobs in the future to support their families.” Thus public schools would become the hub of every community open 24/7, providing meals and health care, and managed by a non-government organization. The then President Obama next took over Common Core with $4.35 billion of “stimulus” funds. To get a chunk of the federal money, states had to: a) follow Common Core; b) evaluate teachers; c) use college-career ready standards; d) collect personal info on pupils for a national database; and e) turn around or close failing schools. Even kindergarten pupils were put on track for college or the workforce. The program, which was falsely labeled a voluntary state initiative, was anything but. The substantial amount of federal funds was simply too great to reject. It literally forced states to conform. Spawned by Connect All Schools, the new Common Core was part of One World Education developed and sponsored by the Qatar Foundation with a heavy anti-Christian, pro Islam focus. Obama turned over the development of the curriculum to Qatar Foundation International (QFI), the Washington-based branch of the parent foundation. QFI was funded by the nations of Qatar, Libya and Saudi Arabia, all of which had financial interests in Pearson Education. Not surprisingly, QFI contracted with Pearson to develop materials and implement the new education initiative. The LIA helped fund Pearson's effort, along with Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the Muslim Brotherhood, including CAIR. Now a huge global corporation, Pearson not only wrote new Common Core curricula and training materials, but also evaluated teachers in certain states. It trained K-12 teachers to develop lesson plans and had university professors conduct anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian seminars. A study by the Citizens for National Security (CFNS) showed that a) Pearson K – 12 textbooks had positive misinformation about Islam and negative material about Christianity; and b) CAIR had been targeting American public schools for Islamic indoctrination. About the same time, Project Veritas caught on camera a former Pearson marketing executive textbook publishing admitting to the anti- Christian, pro-Islamic agenda of Common Core. Pearson Education now solely administers the Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA). Additionally, no state or federal oversight exists for university programs (under Title VI of the Higher Education Act) that train K-12 teachers to develop lesson plans and seminars on “Middle East Studies.” Pearson developed these programs and teacher training materials which were largely funded by Saudi Arabia.

  • INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION Ladies and Gentlemen, May I Start
    Pearson Breakfast Presentation at CGS 2010 Annual Meeting, December 2, 2010 INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION Ladies and Gentlemen, may I start by saying what a considerable privilege and honour it is to be here at the Council of Graduate Studies annual meeting here in Washington DC and to able to participate on behalf of Pearson in such a distinguished event. Pearson has been a corporate partner with the Council for the last two years, and this is a relationship we value extremely highly. Perhaps on a personal note could I say how gracious and committed a partner Debra Stewart has been. If I may today, I would like to devote the next 30 minutes to five areas: some broad forces shaping the world of education how we should innovate as leaders in education the particular challenge presented by digital, what I call internet transformations how Pearson is responding; and lastly, some questions for the future Perhaps I might start with a few remarks about Pearson. It can trace its origins back to 1724 in London, when Thomas Longman founded Longman ‘at the sign of the ship’, the sign of a pub which has become one of our enduring logos. This is the Thomas Longman who published Dr Johnson’s Dictionary. Through the years we have had many Pearson Breakfast Presentation at CGS 2010 Annual Meeting, December 2, 2010 manifestations, including in oil and here in the United States in construction, where for example the engineering firm S Pearson & Son built the Hudson Tunnel in New York. As recently at the 1990s we were regarded as a conglomerate, owning a wide range of assets including Royal Doulton china, a stake in Chateau Latour wine, and Madame Tussauds.

She is interested in collection development, statistical analysis of library use data and intellectual property searching. Erdmann is also Purdue's Representative to the Patent and Trademark Depository Library Program and is active in the Engineering Libraries Division, American Society for Engineering Education and the Patent and Trademark Depository Library Association. Page 14.314.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 Changing Library Vendor Contracts: A Case Study in Acquiring E- Books from an Online Book Vendor Abstract Safari Tech Books Online offers several options for providing computer books to campus users. Purdue University used the vendor for 1 ½ years and discovered that the current titles option was not working as well as expected. The option included providing access to the current year and two previous years for all available publishers and was less labor-intensive for the library staff. A statistical analysis was done that examined the use patterns, including most heavily used books and publishers, as well as books with and without catalog records. This paper discusses the new option chosen and compares the statistical use patterns before and after the change. The university library ultimately changed its plan to more closely meet user needs by limiting the number of publishers, maintaining high use titles, and selecting specific titles as needed. Additionally, problems that were encountered before and after the change are discussed.
