4.0 out of 5 stars Eye opening book telling a truth about our education system, April 11, 1997

By A Customer

A short book with a big message. Read it for yourself to see just how much outside influence from the 19th and 20th centuries is being utilized to dumb down our children and turn them into 'animals'. A lot of the current buzz words that you hear today are ideas that have been thrust upon our phyche until we've been conditioned to believe it. You can't ask for more of an eye-opening experience than the one that this book brings to pass.

5.0 out of 5 stars Acorns, Oaks, Mistletoe and Poison Ivy ..... Consider this, February 25, 2000

By	Tom Hall, CTC (Glendale, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Leipzig Connection (Basics in Education) (Paperback)

This book is 5 Stars - not because it is a blockbuster, but more in the sense of The Tao Te Ch'ing - it has a basic nourishment simply put and straight. The Leipzig Connection simply traces development of "modern" "progressive" "20th century" "education" theory and practice from basic kernel (acorn) in the Psychology Labs of Late 19th Century Germany, from plant to graft to fully invasive tendrils resulting in the 20th Century culmination of an educational system realizing that a simple classic "Oak" had been subborned into a useless tangle of creepers.

Or skip the poetry, just appreciate the elegant clarity and direct purpose of this slim volume.

A MUST for EVERY student of education, educator, educational theorist, or intelligent adult.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why this book is a MUST READ, March 29, 2002

By	"kenkem" (Downey, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Leipzig Connection (Basics in Education) (Paperback)

This book tells the true and complete story of what happened to our educational system, and how it was ruined by Rockefeller money through the introduction of psychology (and later psychiatry)into the system. Going right along with this destruction there is another very well documented book titled "World Without Cancer" by G. Edward Griffin (an independent researcher not connected with the authors of The Leipzig Connection), which tells how the Rockefellers turned our MEDICAL educational system into a profit center for themselves---a system which promotes drugs (which they make and sell) and surgery, which necessitates the use of their drugs---and away from other more promising avenues. If you want further documentation on the destructive influence of the Rockefellers read Ida Tarbell's famous book "THE HISTORY OF THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY". Then there's "Why Johnny Can't Tell Right From Wrong" by William K. Kilpatrick and "Dumbing Down Our Kids : Why American Children Feel Good About Themselves but Can't Read, Write, or Add" by Charles J. Sykes, both of which detail the depths to which the Rockefeller financed psychological fiddling of our school curriculums has taken us. But essential to a complete understanding of any of the above is an understanding of the story related in "The Leipzig Connection". It really is a must read.
