Italics are mine – Frank Trejo – Yesterday’s News Today
This article demonstrates how socialism affects our society, especially the loss of pride and common sense by those that teach. Also, many businesses are forced to send employees to take educational remedial courses because of the lack of verbal skills. Isn’t this a shame? Even though this article was written in the ‘80s and things may have gotten better in the quality of books – one thing is still true today – many young people in the corporate world are sent somewhere to better their communication skills.
Billions of taxpayer monies are spent for schools and we still get people who have difficulties understanding a simple thing as basic communication skills. It’s reported that 25% of our people are illiterate. This is intentional folks. This is done for obvious reasons. Scroll through this web site and you’ll conclude that the phrase “Americans are dumb-down” is quite true.
Personally, my writing skills leave much to desired but my excuse is that I was a high-school drop-out. I often thank my lucky stars that I did quit otherwise I’d be worse off.

University of Denver Physics Professor Matio Iona, who has received top awards from the American Association of Physics Teachers, spends much of his time these days’ watch-dogging error-filled school textbooks. These idiots, rails the professor, who grabs his hair at the slight of erroneous textbook material and offensive examples, how absurd can they be? Each error the Professor finds is a source of his passion and frustration.
For 15 years Iona has sent countless letters to editors, written endless columns and presented papers ad infinitum on persistent mistakes in science textbooks for grade school, high school, and college courses. Such mistakes include text, captions, and pictures, which the professor describes as nonsense.
One particular physics textbook erroneously portrayed the laws of force and distance, the laws of air movement and buoyancy in addition to 28 other misleading explanations. Books for grade school, he said, “are not written by knowledgeable authors but by editorial staffs. They’re biology teachers, if they have anything to do with science. But the editorial staffs are mostly English teachers.
“I am absolutely flabbergasted that they can’t do any better than they do. It’s a mystery that the college professors who use these books don’t complain.”
It’s not that the current editions of school textbooks have suddenly become a storehouse of errors, but these same errors are repeated through several editions of the books despite critique and complaints. Again, parents of public school children are faced with the question of quality in education.
Mistakes, misleading information, and nonsense in textbooks can only lead to a generation of misinformed Americans. Can this great nation afford another generation of misinformed individuals? … end of article

The following article is yet another example of workings by communists in our society who were slowly conditioning people to accept big brother. This story took place in the ‘80s but more were starting to occur after JFK was assassinated. Shortly thereafter, the communists began the take-over of our institutions. Why is our country in such turmoil? Socialism bankrupts the morals of people. OUR White House has become a moral sewer.
We are in danger of losing our country. The communists in control are blatantly giving us the middle finger. They are demonstrating what “abuse of power” is all about. There is no semblance of honest and legal governance – Our Congress is being run by criminals. You better throw out the communist Democrats in Congress in Nov. otherwise President Pinocchio is going to do a lot of damage especially when he gets the opportunity to appoint communists to the Supreme Court. Whatever damage he causes we can repeal but impeaching Supreme Court Justices is highly improbable.
The following is a reprint from a Council of Constitutional Churches from Southern California. I don’t know if this church still exists. (1987)
PASTOR, WIFE JAILED FOR SCHOOLING CHILDREN AT HOME
Pastor T.M. Taylor and his wife were jailed in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa because they were teaching their kids without certificates from the Communist state! Ministers who protested on the court house lawn were harassed and dispersed by sheriff’s bullnecked badgetoters.
We wonder if these goons were wearing their hammer and sickle badges and swastika arm bands. North Dakota is presently rated as the worst state for those wishing to educate their kids at home. Amerika is already here, friends – and the Soviets didn’t do it! The bright side of this is that evidence indicates that the home school movement is growing rapidly across the nation as parents seek alternatives to the Public Fool Systems…end of article.

Letters to the Editor (of the Washington Times – 9-21-2009
College and the modern American
Our modern universities are filled with cowards. Prior to Vietnam, young people made life choices based upon their future ability to provide for a family. Those who were able and willing to choose college did so in the pursuit of scholastic credentials that would support productive jobs such as engineering, science and even real education. Most high school grads still did not attend college, instead filling the job positions that were the backbone of the financial productivity of our country.
Vietnam changed all that with the creation of the “2S” school deferment. Suddenly, every college in the country was filled with boys trying to avoid the draft. Since the motive was the draft avoidance rather than future productivity, our students were chasing degrees in political science and other non-productive areas. Within a few short years the mindset of America was that everyone had to go to college and, indeed, everyone deserved to go to college, even if it meant that someone else paid for them to go. (spread the wealth)
The “2S” deferment created the imbecilic children that fell in love with drugs, took to the streets by the thousands to protest what they knew nothing about and turned our colleges into nothing more than useless baby sitters spitting out grads who learn nothing about the responsibility to pursue productive futures that will, in turn, create the opportunity for future generations. These losers, having no tangible education, became our college professors, having never led productive lives, are a menagerie of “fox in charge of the hen house” lunatics who know nothing of reality outside of the glorified welfare that their income represents and are a “protected species” in their anti-American indoctrination of their students.
I was one of these losers and I am truly fortunate to have had to quit college and get a job to survive. The army, a tour of Vietnam, marriage and children… I became a man. Unfortunately, most were able, with daddy’s money, to continue on in college and remain children to this day. And I don’t even want to start with the women. They did not have the draft to face and still embraced the childish mindlessness that our colleges spew. (Patrick Weir – Chatsworth, California)
It was during this time of upheaval in our colleges that the communists influence was felt. I well remember students waving Mao’s (China) little red book during demonstrations. In the book you’ll find political correctness that is so prevalent in our society. It is thought control (communistic) and is helping to destroy our country from within, so much for our First Amendment. Except for a few decent Democrats in Congress most all others are progressives now but I still refer to them as communists. Anyone in elected positions that doesn’t honor our Constitution is an enemy of our country. That holds true for some Republicans.
10th Plank Communist Manifesto – Government controlled Education
Most all unions in the public sector (government) are controlled by the communists. The NEA is dominated by radicals. I venture to say many within don’t understand the agenda, just concern about their job. Recall, through the years you’ve read or heard stories of teachers unions fighting vouchers – home schooling – charter schools…etc. They want to maintain control of the young minds.
The SEIU (Service Employees International Unions.- 2.2 million members) is headed by a communist by the name of Stern. He is the one person who has the most visits to chat with President Pinocchio at the White House. His Union contributed millions to the presidential run by Pinocchio. What is Stern’s goal? To unionized everybody in the medical industry. He uses his goons to disrupt peaceful demonstrations by people exercising their 1st Amendment right of peaceful assembly.
Why do we allow this to happen – I mean – letting these bastards get away with this type of tyranny against the American people? The thugs menacing our people at voting venues during the last presidential election were allowed to walk away because of U.S. Attorney General Holder. Some Republicans asked for an investigation but were shut down by the Committee Chairman in charge – a Democrat, of course.
What we need is an Uncle Sam’s Lobby. We need an organization that will standup to these bastards when they show at conservative functions and gatherings, or polling places. We need a chapter in every major city of this country ready to fight at a moments notice. And yet, I’m sorry to say, nothing good ever happens when people like me suggest things which we consider sound. I still have hope, though. This is why I always close by…I love you, America…and…
