TREASON

We are mostly interested in the first segment of this video, which ends about 40 minuets in. This appears to have been taped in the Clinton years--the 90s

You Tube Link


We see here that the push for World Governmentby faceless-nameless power brokers. has been underway for decades. In this context, it becomes clear that our local politicians, who are facilitating this scheme in Hawaii, are only cogs in a far-greater movement. 

My intuition tells me that Hawaii has been specifically targeted as a model fiefdom of this new world government...for a number of reasons. One reason is because Hawaii is an ideal target due to its unique state-wide education system. Here, a central government has the unique opportunity  of influencing (or indoctrinating) an entire generation of youth--every keki.  ...without having to worry about resistance from individual school distrticts.

And, this, by all appearances, is the agenda that our current governor is aggressively pursuing. His state-run early learning programs; mandatory kindergarten; attempts to allow public funding to private preschools...are all part of a comprehensive agenda to prepare our kids for impending World Government. 

Due to the nature of this new world government, our keki will need to learn to surrender their sovereign, individual rights. And that is what they are learning now. Our kids are in great danger.

International Bureau of Education

If you have any doubts that our National Education standards--currently called Common Core--are derived from and aligned with international education standards, click here
[Find Hawaii on the list of states and check the strategic plan.]

You may also wish to explore the World Core Curriculum. Common Core appears to be a dumbed-down version of this.



Then, there's the U.N.'s Agenda 21 Chapter 36 on Education. They have succeeded in "Reorienting education towards sustainable development." world wide. Hawaii is no exception.

This 'sustainability' education lies at the very basis of our educational system in all public schools and publicly-funded charter schools in Hawaii.

In other words, the claim that Common Core is a state-led initiative is a complete ruse....or more accurately a big, fat lie.


Additionally, the so-called Pono Choices--our perverted and very dangerous sex education program--is a UNESCO agenda as well. *

The claim that Pono Choices originates in The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Center on Disability Studies  is just another lie. The CDS just added a few cheesy Hawaiian words with new convenient definitions.

My favorite is "Aloha" which now means "Having mutual respect for each other." [Isn't that special?] This new definition is straight from the UNESCO tolerance propaganda.

Also see this video for more sex-ed lies.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs7-rSM9gos

And it's about to get worse, with programs called "New Civics" and "Next Generation Science Standards"...which are all apart of the U.N. sustainability indoctrination...designed to fill our kids with fears of global warming and programming them with collectivist propaganda. The U.N. counterparts to these education schemes can be found here and here respectively.

Dr. Duke Pesta, sums up the nature of these additions to the Common Core-aligned curicula in this video :


[You Tube Link]
Add the Microsoft  link between Common Core and UNESCO, and the agreement between Ronald Reagan and Micheal Gorbachev to combine the education and science of the Soviet Union and United State of America, and there should be little doubt that we  have been betrayed by our own governments--state and federal; and that our children are in great danger.

Early Learning


Important information for toddlers 
"The Common Core Standards in Hawaii are identical to the other states who have adopted these standards".

From UNESCO website::

Early Childhood Care and Education

http://www.unesco.org/new/en/education/themes/strengthening-education-systems/early-childhood/

"Early childhood is defined as the period from birth to eight years old. A time of remarkable brain growth, these years lay the foundation for subsequent learning and development.
UNESCO advocates for Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) programmes that attend to health, nutrition, security and learning and which provide for children’s holistic development. It organized the first World Conference on ECCE in September 2010, which culminated in the adoption of a global action agenda for ECCE called Moscow Framework for Action and Cooperation: Harnessing the Wealth of Nations. As a follow-up to the World Conference, UNESCO works in partnership with Member States, partners and other stakeholders to encourage timely and effective implementation of the Moscow Framework so that all young children develop their potential to the fullest."

More from UNESCO
Four globalist educators are asked:
What are the three most important skills a child should learn?


"Firstly, they need to learn about culture – culture is a kind of glue, it keeps us together. It’s like tea with sugar – it creates flavour and the colour we need. Secondly, values and respect. Do we respect our parents and elders enough? Are the gaps here increasing? We need to keep in mind that education comes from home – our families are the first “teachers” in our lives. They are crucial to us so respect and values are important. Thirdly, history – we should know our past so we can improve our future.” --Sikander Sabeer, National Youth Movement for UN Post-2015 Development, Sri Lanka

"Children should be thinking critically about who they are and how they relate to their world around them, in a social and political perspective with a focus on peace, equity and sustainable development. They must be learning how to be literate and numerate, be problem solvers and be resilient.” --Urvashi Sahni, Study Hall Education Foundation, India

“For a child to work across a huge spectrum of life, they will need life skills, core values and the opportunity to unlock the treasure within.” --Govind Singh, Council of Pacific Education, Fiji

"They need soft skills to be good citizens, vocational skills for employment and basic education to equip them with knowledge.” --Vutha Lay, NGO Education Partnership, Cambodia

Core Corruption

From the Washington Post February 13, 2013

A year ago, Robert Scott, then the commissioner of education in Texas, shook up the ed world when he said that standardized test-based accountability had led to a “perversion” of what a quality education should be. He’s no longer the Texas commissioner, but Scott is still worth listening to. He just gave a speech to Georgia legislators in which he detailed how he was pressured to sign on to the Common Core Standards before they were written.



Partial Transcript from Scott's testimony--copied from the Washington Post:

"My experience with the Common Core actually started when I was asked to sign on to them before they were written. … I was told I needed to sign a letter agreeing to the Common Core, and I asked if I might read them first, which is, I think, appropriate. I was told they hadn’t been written, but they still wanted my signature on the letter. And I said, ‘That’s absurd; first of all, I don’t have the legal authority to do that because our [Texas] law requires our elected state board of education to adopt curriculum standards with the direct input of Texas teachers, parents and business. So adopting something that was written behind closed doors in another state would not meet my state law.’ … I said, ‘Let me take a wait-and-see approach.‘ If something remarkable was in there that I found that we did not have in ours that I would work with our board … and try to incorporate into our state curriculum …

Then I was told, ‘Oh no no, a state that adopts Common Core must adopt in its totality the Common Core and can only add 15 percent.’ It was then that I realized that this initiative which had been constantly portrayed as state-led and voluntary was really about control. It was about control. Then it got co-opted by the Department of Education later. And it was about control totality from some education reform groups who candidly admit their real goal here is to create a national marketplace for education products and services.

Even more troubling to me was the lack of transparency. … These standards sere written behind closed doors. … We didn’t know who the writers were until the project was complete."

Teaching Communism

The three videos below are about teaching Common Core. Note that the emphasis, in each, is on cultivating collectivism, or group problem solving, or "group think."
Ask: Does this approach to education inhibit individualism and the students' ability to think for themselves?

Also note that the same theme--sustainable development--is driven into our kids' heads from Kindergarten through 12th grade.


Ask: Is this education or indoctrination? 

The second video (below) introduces The Next Generation of Science Standards  which are aligned with Common Core.
Pause this second video at 3 min, 35 sec. and read the subliminal message, in the sample lesson, regarding stabilizing the population. 
Ask: What is that doing in a physics lesson?

Video 2: "Preparing for the Next Generation Science Standards" [NGSS]

We might also ask: "What happened to the scientific method?"

Ask: What happened to Galileo? What happened to Aristotle, Ptolemy, Kepler, Newton...Einstein? Is there no room for these giants in Next Generation Science?
Ask: What the hell is this guy talking about?

The third video explains how every school subject is  embedded in (or intertwined with) every other subject, in the Common Core approach. 
Ask: Why? Doesn't this produce kind of a mush of education? How can a student tell one subject from another? Are they only learning one thing? And, if so...What?

Video 3: Connections Between Practices in NGSS, Common Core Math and CC English Language Arts.

After reviewing these videos (and there is more on line), 

Ask: Is Common Core wasting our kids time? Are they really learning anything? What is the real Agenda behind this education? What will be the mind-set of the generation Common Core is producing? 

Ask: What sort of government will Hawaii have when they become of age?

"The philosophy in the classroom of one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next" --Abraham Lincoln


If you think Hawaii might be an exception to the rule, please refer to Common Core Standards Hawaii for clarification:
 "The Common Core Standards in Hawaii are identical to the other 
states who have adopted these standards."

Even more Credit
Here we have an array of video clips featured on the The Learning Channel.  Some of these look pretty reasonable. And there are some excellent teachers featured here.

Though, I keep in mind a couple of things:
One is that these are heavily edited, designed to promote CC.

Another, is that the Common Core Standards and curriculum changes at the whim of the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. The NGA  and CCSSO share the copyright for the standards, and thereby, maintain strict control over the standards. So a year from now, they could be entirely transformed.

Some of the more-reveling videos that were once featured on this website have been deleted. Though, below, I have selected three class sessions that I found disturbing, in spite of the purge.

Ask: Is this Shakespeare or Boot Camp

Ask: What are they really preparing these kids for?

Ask: Is this appropriate for our 5th graders in Hawaii (or anywhere)? Where are these kids being guided to? Do these kids look like they are enjoying learning? Are they really learning anything worth while?
