This is an extremely well-documented, fact-filled book exposing the deplorable condition of our public school system. I don't see how anyone can argue with the facts---the book is loaded with quotes from those in the educatinal system and excerpts from public school books / curriculum, and he sites each source. I highly recommend it...in fact, I have loaned my copy out to at least 12 people and every one of them, without exception, loved the book...most of them purchased their own copy after reading mine. The information contained in this book will scare you, especially if you have children in the public schools. Unfortunately, most parents have no idea what is really going on in their child's school---this book is a "wake-up call!" Once you begin reading, you won't be able to put it down.

Here is a Korean War Veteran, Father, Grandfather and former School Superintendent who tells you like it is and backs it up with facts! I am giving this to everyone I know. This wonderful author has spit in the eye of the NEA/CTA/and every other brainwasher in this country including the First Lady from New York, Ms. Rodham with the absolute truth about what their plans are for our Nation's children. I am happy to say, not mine. We're homeschooling our kids and they will not be part of the STW program and the socialist agenda for American children. Get this book! You'll read it in two days and you'll want everyone you love to read it too!

Our church gave this book out to everyone in the congregation (700+), but whether you are christian or not, conservative or liberal, you will want to read this book. Everything that Mr. Stormer says he backs up with quotes, statistics, etc. It is unbelieveable, but true.

This is a must read for all Americans concerned about our public educational system. It is a real eye-opener revealing the plans and goals of education "reformers". As stated in their own words, "we no longer see the teaching of facts and information as the primary function of education", which is very obvious by the numbers of high school graduates who can not read, write or do math at an acceptable level. Instead of the 3R'S, programs such as GOALS 2000, OBE, or STW are all part of the plan to create "a new social order". Read about how the national health care plan which was defeated in Congress is finding it's way in the back door in the form of medicaid reimbursements to school based health clinics. The signing up of school districts with the promise that "the potential for dollars is limitless" is being aggressively pursued across the country. Income eligibility guidelines are being reshaped in some states to include all children up to the age of 21 no matter what the family income. I fear in our country, we are like the frog that was placed in lukewarm water and very slowly the temperature was turned up, lulling him into complacency until it was too late for him to escape. Over the past 65 years or so there has been such a gradual change in the goals and philosophy of public education that we also have been lulled into complacency and fail to see the danger lurking. I urge concerned citizens to read this book and pass it on to someone else. Hopefully we will wake up before it's too late and we find we have no hope of salvaging our education system and most importantly our children, the future generation.

This is an in-depth analysis about the many problems in the public school system in America. While reading it I often thought of Thomas Sowell's damming account of the public school system as detailed in his book "Inside American Education." John Stormer covers many of the same areas and expresses many of the same concerns, but John Stormer does it from a religious standpoint. Both books are very concerned about the declining academic standards in the public school system, both books are explore how children are being brainwashed in public schools, and both books are very concerned with the political agenda of the NEA.

John Stormer starts off by saying that before you can decide on what is the purpose of an education, you have to think about:

1) What is the nature of man?
2) What is his purpose?

Most public school officials have a humanist point of view about the nature and purpose of man. John Stormer points out this leads them in fundamentally different directions than most Christian want to go.

John Stormer quotes a number of professional educators who over the years have declared their intent to remake society, to "fix it up." His opposition to this appears to be what drove him to write this book. He is concerned about the declining academic standards, and the first chapter documents how each year students are performing worse and worse in math, spelling, reading, history, and so on. Most of the rest of the book focuses how in different ways public schools are trying to remake society.

There were a number of interesting points made in the book. For example John Stormer points out that it doesn't take years to teach Sex Education, the basics can be taught in an hour, maybe a couple hours if you really take your time. The reason Sex Education is taught for so long is to wear down the values being taught at home. Many at public schools are looking to have schools replace the family.

If you are concerned about the decline in American Education over the last fifty years, but you aren't interested in a religious point of view, check out "Inside American Education." If you are a Christian, and want more information on what is happening in public schools, this book is a good one to check out. "None Dare Call It Education" is well written and well documented.

This book is mandatory reading for anyone who really cares about himself/herself, our children, and about the future of our country. It not only tells you what is going on behind your back using the educational systems already in place, but tells you what you can do about it. "None Dare Call it Education" coupled with Dr. James L. Hirsen's books, "The Coming Collision, Global Law vs. U.S. Liberties" and "Government by Decree" are the best way to find out what we're not being told by our own government. Wake up to those who only use "for the childen" as a lever to control us. If we don't pay attention now, there will be a very different life for ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren; don't ever be fooled into thinking "It can't happen here."

There is a very good review of this book in the Sept.15,'99 issue of the New American, to which I would like to direct the readers. Not only we see _what_ is going on, but also _why_. The Biblical silver chain, a chain which once connected generations to one another and kept the entire society together, a chain once forged in every human soul by the educational process, is now effectively broken.

I have been researching the cause of decline of education in America for over 20 years for a book of my own, and I can tell you that John Stormer's book is correct. If anything Stormers book is not strong enough. The Communist-like Humanist movement in control of public education today is treason of the worst kind---they are working to turn our own children into the enemies of everything we stand for. You need to read this book today while there is still some opportunity to stop these wicked and deceitful people.

Although this book contains some fluff, it makes an outstanding point. Anyone who thinks that the children who attend public schools are better educated than those who attend private or home school need to do some serious research. The public school system is a complete FAILURE and it just keeps getting worse. My children have experienced home, public, and private schools. After one year of public school, they were never allowed to go back. The format of this book may not be for everyone but it is worth every parents time to investigate what is going on in the public school systems of America.

John Stromer has written a book that for the most part is precisely what I have been witnessing first hand since first grade, and into middle school with my children. We are fortune that homeschooling is possible for us and has been one of the best decisions we've ever made as a family. Our schools are in desperate need of change. The moral decline and lack of respect in our schools is appaulling. When you have teachers that are telling you that homeschooling is a good decision, you know something is wrong! Much of what Mr. Stromer writes in his book is extremely accurate and is cause for alarm for the future of our country.
