US Dept. of Education funding UNESCO programs

IB Program is the U.N. on Steroids

Today’s IB (like most ordinary K-12 curriculums) operates in partnership with UNESCO, and therefore is consistent with United Nations dogma. The IB is U.N. dogma on steroids, and redistribution of wealth is an overriding, subliminal theme.

The biggest difference between the American creed and IB is that our Declaration of Independence insists that government is beholden to the people; it does not exist to protect itself. This view puts teeth into the notion of inalienable, individual rights, which is one reason socialist-leaning schools here at home gloss over the Declaration — as if it were Thomas Jefferson’s unsolicited opinion.

Under the U.S. Bill of Rights, government has only those rights that the people say it has. The U.N. takes the position, in its Universal Declaration on Human Rights (Universal Declaration of Human Rights [UDHR], Article 29, Section 3), that: "rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations” [italics mine]. This small phrase is key: Under the UDHR, people have only those rights the United Nations (ergo, government) says they have.

Take, for example, Flora High School in Richland County, Columbia, South Carolina. It started offering the IB program when the U.S. Department of Education announced $1.2 million targeted to fund the IB program in middle schools (2007). The idea was that they would become “feeder schools” for the IB’s high school diploma program in low-income school districts around the country. (This, by the way, is a typical method of extending potentially unpopular government programs: to start with one state, offer huge bucks to promote it as a “pilot project”; then, get the bugs out and take it national.)

The Earth Charter comprises the backbone of IB science, ethics, literature and history programs, because that is UNESCO’s approach to foreign policy issues. Briefly, the primary elements of the Earth Charter are:

• Earth worship (pantheism).
• Socialized medicine.
• World federalism.
• Income redistribution among nations and within nations.
• Eradication of genetically modified (GMO) crops.
• Contraception and “reproductive health” rights (inc., legal abortion).
• World-wide “education for sustainability” which means planned communities and citizens told where they must live.
• Debt forgiveness and different standards for third-world nations.
• Adoption of gay rights and the right of children to all sexual materials and literature.
• Elimination of any right to bear arms.
• Environmental extremist positions, including global warming, bans on pesticides and genetically enhanced vegetables.
• Setting aside biosphere reserves where no human presence is allowed, which means the government may come in and take your land for its own higher purposes — something that is now being debated in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution are fundamentally opposite from the U.N.’s UDHR. A few examples:

• The right to bear arms — UDHR has no right to bear arms.
• No double jeopardy — UDHR does not prohibit double jeopardy.
• Church/state separation — UDHR promotes earth-worship spirituality.
• Limited government — UDHR has no limits on government.
• Reserved powers — UDHR has no reserved powers.
• Recognition of natural law — UDHR does not recognize natural law.
• Guarantee that property cannot be taken by government without just compensation — UDHR has no such guarantee.

Note this was being implemented in South Carolina in 2007... predates the current administration that tends to get blamed for everything... i'm not saying they aren't responsible for pushing us over the cliff with all the debt. I'm saying this plan was devised and set into motion many years ago.

Ladies and gents, this was part of the Agenda 21 created when GHW Bush signed the Rio Treaty in 1992, as far as the U.S. beginning to use formal U.N. curriculum in our DOE. These people are using our schools to brain wash our children AGAINST the U.S.A. Another reason we should get rid of the federal Dept of Education, and allow local school boards to work with parents to set the curriculum. Parent cannot continue to abrogate their responsibility for knowing what their children are being taught.

more importantly, yet another reason to...

Get US Out! of the United Nations

I'm telling you, getting out of the U.N. will go a long way toward fixing much of what ails us.

From the U.N.'s "Earth Charter"

In 1987 The World Commission on Environment and Development (known as "the Brundtland Commission") launched Our Common Future Report with a call for a “new charter” to set “new norms” to guide the transition to sustainable development.

Following that discussion about an Earth Charter took place in the process leading to the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, but the time for such a declaration was not right. The Rio Declaration became the statement of the achievable consensus at that time.

In 1994, Maurice Strong (Secretary-General of the Rio Summit) and Mikhail Gorbachev, working through organizations they each founded (Earth Council and Green Cross International respectively), launched an initiative (with the support from the Dutch Government) to develop an Earth Charter as a civil society initiative. The initial drafting and consultation process drew on hundreds of international documents.

An independent Earth Charter Commission was formed in 1997 to oversee the development of the text, analyze the outcomes of a world-wide consultation process and to come to agreement on a global consensus document.
