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 :

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 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."

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."
