This collection of testimonies from hearings on the Hatch Amendment in 1984 is very eye opening - particularly because many of these teaching methods are still being used today, and the ideological bent of the public schools has gotten increasingly immoral and humanistic. I attended a "top" public school district from 1999-2012 and then got a bachelor's and a master's degree from a public university, and was taught using many of these methods. Clearly the Hatch Amendment was never enforced, and the NEA and DOE use curricula and teaching methods that impose an anti-Christian worldview. This has been going on for many years as American students fall further and further behind other developed countries in math, science, reading comprehension, writing, etc. Today, kids are being strategically exposed to postmodernism, critical race theory, globalism, liberal Feminism, queer theory, transgenderism, and other ideologies that are fundamentally opposed to the Judeo-Christian worldview. Now that I am a parent, my husband and I are increasingly discussing homeschooling, as we are both products of public schools and had to be extremely mentally and emotionally resilient to retain our faith as Christians and don't want our children to have to face so much opposition at such a tender age. This important work by the brilliant and inspiring Phyllis Schlafly is a must read for any parents concerned about the "values" taught in their public school system.

Well, that just about explains everything that's going wrong with our country over the past 50 years. I knew that schools were pushing radical agendas on our children, for at least the past 10 to 20 years or so, I didn't realize it had been going on for so long. It's making me question and try to remember what I was taught in public school in the 70s.
