UNESCO Control of Education Goes Back to Goals 2000

UNESCO control of American education harkens back to Goals 2000 and before.

“The President and the secretary have the high ground on this… The program is working, and it is defining a new federal role in education.” ~ Jennifer Davis, then deputy assistant secretary of education responsible for Goals 2000, in effect since 1994.

But does the federal government legally have a role in public education? Not according to the US Constitution.

Back in 1997 when NH activists were fighting NH’s acceptance of Goals 2000 alongside activist Eleanor Campbell, including this writer, you often heard bureaucrats making such falsely conclusive statements. And they still refuse to acknowledge that UNESCO influence is what is driving education today. One cannot deny the fact that the current public school curriculum has been exposed as politically charged nonsense. Education industry opportunists and activists openly declare that students are seen as vessels for carrying along certain political and social ideas that UNESCO, and now our federal government, would like to see in order to change our governmental structure.

Fact is, the federal government constitutionally has NO say in what goes on in local educational matters. But if parents and taxpayers do not demand a return to local control, public education will continue to be an instrument of the foreign bankers, and UN NGOs which create international rules which they expect countries to follow.

Revisiting this article from 1997, we see the same complaints expressed that we now hear about Common Core. Perhaps these parents and taxpayers had a point?

UNESCO’s role in US education goes back a long way. In 1953 schools were encouraged to start UNESCO ‘clubs’.

The push to make American education comply with UN goals, resolutions and treaties is part of the bigger picture called Agenda 21.

And the late Henry Lamb, UN expert, on UNESCO: “Since its beginning, the United Nations Education, Science and Cultural Organization has been trying to impose an international curriculum to prepare students for world government. More than 500 U.S. schools are now using the International Baccalaureate program, and the Department of Education has just awarded a $1.2 million grant to expand the program in middle schools in Arizona, Massachusetts and New York.”

Arne Duncan’s recent speech is proof that our Federal Department of Ed is totally devoted to UNESCO’s goals.
