The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) is a group of foreign countries that have put together a curriculum for schools internationally. The Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which states that “since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed”.
This all sounds great and innocent until you begin reading through hundreds of pages of documents that reveal the one goal of a 'one world of one mind'. This was what I got out of it.
I found that most of the books written for the curriculum were written by some of the same teachers that teach the courses. Hmm, that's an easy way to teach your own philosophy. Also, tolerance to other students includes removal of the flag and pledge of allegiance in some of the 600 school that the IBO is taught in. The course is bent on removing all barriers from all people for the one goal of international tolerance. I won't make this entry long, so I am putting the things in here that burnt me the most. There are plenty of others. This curriculum is based out of Switzerland. Why can't we teach our own children. What will happen to the history of America? I have looked at the books they require for reading and they even have excerpts from them worth a visit for yourself. One take on the Cold War was that 'socialism' is a good way of governing if you get everyone behind you on it. Yeah, we want this stuff in our schools.
This is not a curriculum, it's an agenda.
This was taught as a class but is now being taught as a philosophy. The teaching of tolerance without boundaries is dangerous to our culture. This is one reason I believe that our 'offensive' pledge of allegiance is being removed from our schools.
Here are a few websites you can visit. Be sure to follow the links as I did, I got obsessed and spent hours reading. If you have any comments or questions please ask while the stuff is still fresh in my head.

I would suggest that you be sure what you children are learning.

Was this presentation made at the college or at a public school?
ReplyDeleteOne thing that is unfortunate is that, due to financial difficulties, many school systems are looking at the overall bottom line when purchasing textbooks rather than sitting down and reading the content. Many textbooks in recent years have been quite inaccurate. And, as you know, as further research has been done many science and history books have been rewritten as new accurate data is discovered.
This wasn't a presentation. It is the cirriculum that the school is using. I don't know the exact books as I am not in the school but they have their own book store online. I found out about it because I went to Oberlin's Prospect School website to see about the pledge and this is where I saw the IBO, then the clicking and learning began. The United Nations is in favor of this as well. I am all for people getting along, and being civil, but not at the expense of my own liberties.
ReplyDeleteWhich school? Public or private - College?
ReplyDeleteIt is the Oberlin Board of Education that is considering this for all their schools. The agenda about the pledge is going to be April 14th at the Prospect school.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone publicly speak out? This would never happen in my hometown and its schools.
ReplyDeleteImmigrants wouldn't stand for this no matter their faith or land of origin. Some of the most patriotic people I know came here from the Middle East escaping oppression.
