The U.S. Constitution failed to specifically protect Americans from
indoctrination in a fixed set of beliefs by governmental agencies known
as "public" schools and institutions.
The system produced a nation knowing little or nothing about its true
behavior, as this and other grievances show to a candid world. As
Michael Parenti noted in his book "Against Empire; Democracy for the
Few", the educational system was brainwashing at worst, and a failure to
develop an informed electorate at best;
"I graduated with a Ph.D. in political
science from Yale University and was
never told what my country was doing
in the world."
The educational system lent itself to molding minds rather than opening
them to the full spectrum of human reality and assisting each individual
to develop fully in the manner of one's choosing. More emphasis was
placed on the U.S. "wheel" than on the spokes that empowered it,
creating a one-sided view of the world.
Individuals were denied the right to choose from diverse subjects most
appropriate to their natural diverse propensity, desires and needs, as
may be decided by themselves, or in free association with parents and
advisers.
Curriculums were set from the top-down by governing boards, with
students required to study certain subjects for "graduation", and only
from textbooks written by authors approved by system operators. Subject
matter that was not within the range of "normal" experience or
scientifically explainable phenomena, was most often not a choice, a
subtle form of brainwashing.
Academic research, education exchange programs, conferences and symposia
were used for disinformation and misinformation purposes by such Secret
Government agencies as the CIA. Special targets for covert education penetration
included the National Student Association, the Asia Foundation, and the East-West
Center.
The extent to which Secret Government pursued even indirect brainwashing
tactics was evidenced in the spending of taxpayers funds to make thousands
of subscriptions to the New York communist newspaper Daily Worker for
several years in order to make it appear stronger than it was in fact.
With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural
Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and
Democratic Ideals, government is barred from brainwashing tactics and
individuals are empowered with free choice in education.
