Conform: Exposing the Truth About Common Core and Public Education (2) (The Control Series)

I have found all of Glenn's books to be informative and easy to understand. The foot notes make it clear that what are in these books is the "Agenda" of the Evil and Corrupt people that want Control of our lives and want us to Conform. Bill Gates and "BHO" are the kind of people that are the master mind's of these types of schemes. We need to know more of their plans....we can hear it in their own words from their mouth. Most, if not all can be found on "You Tube" or the "Blaze" so anyone can see them talking about it. You may not like Glenn Beck's books but no one can discredit them. I have "Amizon Prime" so get my books at my home quickly. Given a choice I will take the Truth....may we all learn to accept it and always choose Liberty and Freedom for everyone over Lies and Tyranny. I can see the next of the Books being called "Culture" The important part of any cultural system is of social control, or the design of various means by which members of society are encouraged/forced to conform to cultural norms. BHO and the likes of Bill Gates know this all to well.

If you love your country, your family, your children, your freedom and yourself, read this book. Glenn Beck has exposed a school curriculum so insidious that it will set the next generation of kids back so far that they will never catch up with the rest of the world. This system, once adopted nation-wide, will put our declining country into its final death throes. Who would have thought all those years ago that Khrushchev would be right when he said, “We will bury you.” This is our last chance to save our country from a total collapse. The author states that “The dumbing down of America is good for one group and one group only; those who currently have all the power and control. By maintaining a failing system they are forcing a collapse that will have only one ‘savior’; the federal government. And they are ready to take full control of our hearts, our minds, our bodies, our very souls. To say that we need an educational revolution is an understatement. “For all practical purposes,” the author says, “public education has been the exclusive realm of the teachers’ unions for the past five or six decades.” Now the education system is under the control of union bosses who have more interest in enhancing their own careers and bank accounts than in our children. This should not have happened, but it did, through our indifference, laziness and neglect, and we are now paying for it big time. Now it’s time to fix this mess ourselves or lose our country. Common Core won’t fix it. It will just make matters infinitely worse and cause the total collapse of our educational system. Apparently it was engineered to do just exactly that. Unions reward bad teachers, even though it’s always been crucial to have a good teacher in every classroom. They have created a reward system at our expense that is all out of proportion to what teachers do in order to obtain and retain members. Schools incessantly ask for more and more money. They say they can’t educate the kids without it. Yet the biggest majority of the money goes to their employees, at the behest of the unions, not to educate the kids. Unions have helped to create low standards for teachers so that they don’t have to have degrees in the subjects they teach, indeed they don’t really have to know anything about those subjects at all. Teachers’ colleges have low standards. Since they have monopolies on teacher education, they do as they please and apparently spend a lot more time on the propaganda designed to make our kids hate us and us to hate each other and the rest of the world. Fundamentals go by the wayside and are replaced with “progressive” ideas about education that will blow your mind for their sheer idiocy. Did you know that Bill Gates (alias Darth Sidious) owns Common Core. I wondered for years why he was so interested in children. This author cleared it up for me. He has created “Q Sensors” to put on each and every student’s body so the teacher can monitor their every reaction as they sit in the classroom. Just imagine how much money Gates will make when he sells these gadgets to every school in the country. And who really knows what those “Q Sensors” are really designed to do. They could have something in them to give electric shocks to the kids to punish them. How do we know. My question is why do we need them? Would you really want them to put one on your child? Did Bill Gates have a hand in designing Common Core so that it delays the teaching of Algebra until the ninth grade instead of the seventh so that a science or technical student wouldn’t be getting pre-calculus until he reaches college? According to some distinguished educators, this precludes getting into elite colleges and also prevents students interested in science and technology from being able to graduate from college in these fields because they have not gotten the proper foundation in pre-calculus in high school. Sounds like Gates is trying to eliminate the competition. I guess with no one competent in science or technology it will be easier in the future to force the population to go back to using windmills and other primitive ways of getting energy and transportation. Although I’ll bet you a nickel that Bill Gates and our federal officials won’t be going low tech. Some educators are saying that American students enrolled in Common Core will be set back two years academically. Compare that with large numbers of home-schooled children who are a year or more ahead of their classes. But they are planning to put Common Core books in private schools and educational materials for Home Schoolers so that if a student doesn’t learn in the weird way that they are trying to sell us, they won’t get graduation certificates or even be able to pass tests because of the even weirder way the tests are designed. There is an interesting excerpt in the book where a parent appears before a school board and illustrates for them just how absurd the Common Core curriculum is. Those who are advocating it admitted that it is designed to hold everybody back. Is that what you want for your children and for yourself? I could go on and on about what’s in this book, but you need to read it for yourself. And while you are at it, Google “Why Did Texas Reject Common Core Standards” and scroll down and read the comments by one lady who lives in a Common Core state about how she found out that Common Core was put in without telling the parents. She discovered it when she tried to help her six-year-old with his homework and wasn’t able to, and his teacher told her to keep hands off. To me that means she has lost her children. They are now owned by the government body and soul. Until I looked on a map I had no idea that there are only a few states that rejected Common Core. That makes me feel so sad. The children in all those many states are lost, sold out by the people who were supposed to protect them. We all need to wake up and do something about this or someday our kids will be playing “The Hunger Games,” or be hunted because they are “Divergent.” The future is upon us. We have to decide what it will be. Don’t sell our kids out to the zombie makers or if you have found out that you have and didn’t know it, take them back. Search the Internet for information. Glenn Beck is not the only one talking about what has happened without informing the people and without their consent.

This book has a lot of data in it and it's an excellent resource. It looks at our education system and acknowledges both the positive side and the negative. What works and what doesn't. It offers suggestions on ways to put our system back on top. It looks at teachers and the unions. Some might think it's anti-teacher, but it stresses the contributions of creative and dedicated teachers and the need to reward them and remove teachers who shouldn't be in a classroom. It also goes into the creation of Common Core. As I read it I realized its the same as Outcomes Based Education which was introduced about 20 years ago. The adoption of those standards has helped bring us to where we are now. I would recommend this book if you are looking to understand what's happening in our schools today and how you can help change things.

Glenn Beck does it again. Having left Fox and developed privately, the most advanced set of 21st century studios and a unique online TV broadcasting strategy, Beck hits it out of the park with this book. Page after page exposes the shocking facts behind Common Core. He reveals how America's educational system has fallen into the hands of bureaucrats, many of whom are products of the radical 60s. The idea of "one approach fits all" via standardized testing has led to corporate corruption aligned with the Department of Education, all at the expense of our most sacred resource - our children. And that is only the beginning, the author outlines the "data mining" and systematic intrusion of private family information through questionnaires associated with each student in K-12 and beyond. Parents need to read this book and instead of accepting what Beck exposes, they need to read the reference sources provided in the book for each fact revealed. Parents need to learn and understand that Common Core is "rotten to the core". They need to act before their children get brainwashed by the Common Core constituency.

Every parent with school aged children have to read this book!
