The Educational Trojan Horse of the New World Order

We are losing our culture, our Western heritage, our religious rights, our freedoms, one at a time in our very country and so few as yet realize it.  The Trojan horse of the new world order is proclaiming “Peace, peace, when there is no peace” as the bible says, and it has many tentacles, one of which, by the progressive mind-set, that seeks to motivate students from early schooling through college toward the discounting of the Christina message in their process of seeking a world revolution under the guise of an ultimate world order of peace.

The Judeo-Christian world-view has been basic in the Western education. The Christian world-view developed from the Jewish teachings in the Old Testament foundation to be combined with the Christian expansion from the New Testament.  But the Progressive thinkers in American education are setting the ground for a revolution toward a new world order, and central in this is to define the so-called new era, as post-Christian, which is basically saying that something needs to replace or has replaced the Christian message and any influence it has had on learning, so as to set the stage of peace for the world of the future.

Karl Marx wrote:  “The political emancipation of the Jew, the Christian, and religious man in general implies the emancipation of the state from Judaism, Christianity, and religion in general.”  (Karl Marx, Selected Writings, by David McLellan, p. 44).  The Judeo-Christian worldview is something Marxism believes will historically wither, and in so doing we will see the classless society.   But the actual fact is that if and as the religious foundation of Christianity fades in various places the very opposite is happening, less freedom, and more bondage.

American public schooling in the attempt to promote and maintain freedom of religion has actually promoted a freedom from religion that is having detrimental effects over the whole academic domain in our land.  The “pie in the sky” that the Marxist ideology accused Christianity of teaching has become the progressive mud pies of a breakdown in academic discipline.  Schooling has become a maze of busy work with teachers and educators fleeing the profession, and a breakdown in over-all school discipline.  It is not working!

The Islamic religion, which parades under the title of the religion of peace, has a similarity to Christianity and Judaism, but it at the same time is very different.  It sets up a morality as most all religions do, but it does not promote freedom in learning.  However,  progressive schooling applauds the expansion of the Islamic thinking in contrast to the Christian, as it seems to be more congenial to the creation of this new world order the Left wishes to develop.

It is a rule from the top down.  The Communists and the Islamists seem to be strange bed-fellows, one secular and the other religious. The Communist perspective and the Islamist perspective at first glance seem opposed, but they find a common ground in respect to their common enemy—the Judeo-Christian worldview which originates from the moral code of the Bible. The Islamic world-view is theocratic, the Communist is socialistic, and the Judeo-Christian promotes freedom of the individual.  Communism and Islam both see education dictated from the top down with the government, Caliph or Party, to determine it all.

The Communist doctrine of the dictatorship of the proletariat flows inevitably from the Marxist-Leninist theory of classes and the class struggle. Marx and Engels opposed the petit bourgeois tendencies that endeavored to reconcile and conceal class contradictions, and they also opposed the anarchists, who called for the immediate destruction of any state organization. In opposition to these ideas, Marx and Engels proposed that it was necessary that the proletariat win political power in order to build a new society. The proletariat needed power in order to “wrest, by degrees, all capital from the bourgeoisie to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the state, that is, in the hands of the proletariat, organized as the ruling class, and in order to increase the total of the productive forces as rapidly as possible,” according to their theory.  (“Manifesto of the Communist Party,” 1848, K. Marx and F. Engels,  2nd ed., vol. 4, p. 446).

Sadly we are observing in America the establishment of the new world order and central in this is the reshaping of American education, to be ultimately set-up by the ruling authority for every person’s life and controlled by the ideologies congenial to this.   Yes, this authoritarianism is developing before our eyes, as the Progressives doublespeak in a way to leads our society unknowingly to the destruction of our culture that has been a free and open society into one of dominating authoritarian policies.  It is increasingly being controlled by a system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single — often authoritarian — party holds power.  State controls are imposed with the goal for the elimination of private ownership of property or capital, while claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people (i.e., a classless society).

Big brother is watching you, determining what you learn and even how you learn it and seeks to program your attitudes in respect to it.   It seeks absolute control by propaganda, surveillance, misinformation, denial of truth, and manipulation of the past, so as to program students to this new world order.  It subordinates the self to the group with much revolving around the theme of removing class distinctions, while at the same time actually creating great division in the name of unity.  It is a psychological plan for centralizing the control of American education, and can you believe it, that it is being financed largely by us taxpayers to in the end move toward a one world government and the supposed peace it promises.  The term “education” has such positive acclaim, that our society is failing to see what is being done to us in the name of education!

The Bible is a Judeo-Christian book, and George Washington said, “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”  John Quincy Adams said, “So great is my veneration of the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectable members of society.”  Andrew Jackson said, “That book, sir, is the rock on which our republic rests.”  And Abraham Lincoln said, “I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man.  All the good from the Savior of the world is communicated through this book.”   Our forefathers set the Bible down as basic to education!

The Biblical perspective from our forefathers is being attacked as not fitting into the so-called separation of church and state.  We have the freedom of religion, and in this respect, one can have whatever he or she desires, so long as it is not contradictory to the right of freedom of religion of others—the abridging of Christianity that would definitely happen, if we were Islamic for their religion rejects freedom of religion wherever it is dominant.

But notice there is a big difference between the “freedom of religion,” and the “freedom from religion.”  If freedom from religion is basically accepted, then there can be no freedom of religion, as freedom from religion would not allow the freedom of religion to be part of it; where freedom of religion allows one the right to have no religion or chose any they wish.   We are seeing many attacks on religion in our land today, and most often it is against Christianity, while other religions, particularly the Islamic is being afforded more and more rights.

One case in particular that motivated me to write this article was a situation at the University of North Carolina concerning a course called “The Literature of 9/11.”  In an article, “Colleges brainwash students into believing 9/11 was our fault”  Paul Sperry (New York Post, September 6, 2015) brings out how that  hundreds of college kids across the country will be taught to sympathize with the terrorists.   Sperry said, “That’s because their America-hating leftist professors are systematically indoctrinating them into believing it’s all our fault, that the US deserved punishment for “imperialism” — and the kids are too young to remember or understand what really happened that horrific day…(that the) Case in point is a freshman-level English class taught at several major universities across the country called “The Literature of 9/11” — which focuses almost entirely on writings from the perspective of the Islamic terrorists, rather than the nearly 3,000 Americans who were slaughtered by them.”

What’s happening in Chapel Hill is not isolated. Presenting terrorists in a sympathetic light and the US as an imperialist nation is standard fare. This educational focus is characteristic of much of academic focus all over the country, as a number of other colleges have similar courses with readings that offer points of view that justify terrorism, painting the United States and its government as wholly evil and immoral while promoting the Islamic culture as being disadvantaged because of having suffered the exploitation of the West.  Courses such as “The Literature of 9/11,” however, do not teach student how to think, but to just accept what the left wants to program them to think.  And this is taking place from the pre-school through college!

It is of note that such courses about Islam most often fail to teach certain facts about Islam such as::  Islamic Sharia law does give equal rights to women or non-Muslims and in no way to they treat all religions equally.  Sharia law limits freedom of speech and makes it so that any criticism or Mohamed or any part of the Koran is punishable by death.  Theft is punishable by the amputation of the right hand.   A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death. A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death. A Muslim man can have four wives.  A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old. A man can beat his wife for insubordination. Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman. A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s). A woman is prohibited from driving a car. A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.  And Muslims are called to engage in Taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam as part of their religious morality.

There is a Trojan horse with many tentacles.  We witness this progressive educational direction encompass and control our education in America with various tentacles.  Communism and Islam are two that are making their gifts to education, applauded by the American establishment, but these tentacles are going to prove most confining to true learning in American educational achievement. It has been said, “The proof is in the pudding,” and this is not tasting good!
