"One of the most profound crises-and perhaps the most fundamental one-confronting the United states of America, is the catastrophic situation in our educational .institutions. Despairing parents have long recognized that the effects of America's broken-down educational system on students' capacity to think, are threatenjng to become as devastating as the drug plague. " An EI R Special Report The libertarian conspiracy to destroy America's schools Perhaps you think you "already know" about the crimes of the National Education Association. But do you know that our education system may now be one of the biggest threats to national security? This remarkable report takes up the defense of American education in the thoroughly documented, polemical style EIR is famous for. It was prepared by Carol White and Carol Cleary, who previously collaborated on the book, The New Dark Ages Conspiracy. It includes: • Documentation on how the National Education Association has, over decades, progressively rewritten public school curriculum to foster the amoral celebration of infantilism. The result: rampant illiteracy and a hideous paradigm shift associated with the "me" generation, to such lifestyles as "free" love, homosexuality, pederasty, pornography, violence, and satanic cults. • The names of those who created the crisis and how they did it-facts which have not been published by other reports such as the one put out by the National Academy of Sciences, describing the collapse of U.S. education, particularly in the sciences. 152 pp. Order your copy today! • The alternative to this fast-approaching dark age in culture: orienting Price: $250 education toward transmitting the classical heights of Western Judeo-Christian civilization.
