Most fools think this means teaching them languages and about other cultures, but it's not so. It is making them aware they must share the wealth across the nations, global socialism, under one authority, which won't be the constitution.<br /><br />There are many many books written on the subject, namely the one written by the education department head from 1980. It's called Deliberate Dumbing Down and tells how we are taking directions from the UN, a very war-like and controlling entity, to manage our school curriculum. This on its face is absurd! To teach children languages and about other cultures you simply need people who know the subject areas and know how to teach... you do not need some OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY organization... whose motivation is admitted by them right on their website at www.ibo.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864992991756418300.post-33689420657722235552010-08-05T02:49:12.234-06:002010-08-05T02:49:12.234-06:00To Utah Teacher,

That is all this IB program is about -- stealing our money and instilling world socialism in our students' brains.

In our classes such as TOK (Theory of Knowledge) we learn things like overcoming bias (which this supposed UN conspiracy would be, bias). IB essentially shows it's students how to be open minded and understanding enough to resist the kind of brainwashing and propaganda that they are supposedly giving us. <BR/><BR/>Essentially, it would be easier to brainwash children in remedial classes, so watch out! Helpful, peaceful organizations may be taking over the minds of our special needs... I think you should go investigate the Red Crosses infiltration of the minds of our nation's retards, as they now feel like saving people. LOCK UP YOUR CHILDREN!... If you could not tell, this has been sarcasm.<BR/><BR/>Much of the curriculum is so similar to other rigorous classes such as AP, that the classes are combined (eg. AP US History and IB US History, AP Calculus and IB Calculus, AP Physics and IB Physics, AP Language and Composition and IB English SL, etc.)TJ Clarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864992991756418300.post-975378696666654022008-04-01T16:48:00.000-06:002008-04-01T16:48:00.000-06:00The part about having to sign the 'world governmen...The part about having to sign the 'world government' mission on my contract was FROM 1992 under GOALS 2000 so the situation is worse than you think.<BR/><BR/>There is a lot more to the 'changes' going on in our schools.<BR/><BR/>If you love totalitarianism and are willingn to give up the form of government we supposedly have in this country (natural rights) then I am sorry for you.<BR/><BR/>But don't deny that the push is on, in our schools and even churches who are pushing for more taxation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864992991756418300.post-17055004900351576592008-03-03T22:19:00.000-07:002008-03-03T22:19:00.000-07:00Anonymous, I linked to two EdWatch articles that c...Anonymous, <BR/>I linked to two EdWatch articles that contain the same bologna that Sen.

We can spend millions on vouchers because private schools with no public accountability provide superior education but we can't spend a small pittance to help our public schools provide the "first-class" curriculum the Legislature keeps demanding. Amazing. Who keeps electing these parochial, close minded, short sighted political hacks? Would the Utah voter please wake up and do a better job?Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769749102433609062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864992991756418300.post-91941714576155103302008-02-22T07:30:00.000-07:002008-02-22T07:30:00.000-07:00You are apparently the poster over at the Trib who...You are apparently the poster over at the Trib who goes by NH and claims to be from New Hampshire. I'm sure most anti-UN activists in New England are up reading minor education blogs from Utah hours after they are written. <BR/><BR/>You are lying to support your anti-UN feelings. I know the administrator at a school that offers the IB program and have seen that your claims about the lack of skills are false. I believe you are lying about the world government paper and where you're from.
