Product Description

America's educational system has been hijacked. Radio talk show legend Marlin Maddoux exposes the plots and methods used by the academic elite to capture the hearts, minds, and values of the next generation. Through the use of "political correctness" on college campuses, Moral Relativism in high school sex ed classes, brainwashing techniques starting in kindergarten, and much more, Maddoux reveals how public education has eroded the faith and values of American children in an ongoing effort to create a godless, humanistic society. Thoroughly researched and documented, this is one book that every taxpayer, parent, and college student must read.

"Marlin Maddoux was one of America's leading conservative voices. His insights into the heart and soul of America still ring true today. I highly recommend his book, Public Education Against America. He exposes the hidden agenda of secular bias against Christianity, morality, and decency in our public schools. Don't miss this flaming exposé. It will stir your heart to action." Dr. Jerry Falwell Founder and Chancellor Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA

"It takes courage to face your failures. In Public Education Against America, Marlin Maddoux bravely exposes the truth about American public education-it has failed. This book is a wake-up call for every concerned citizen. I pray that we all heed its call before it is too late." Josh McDowell Josh McDowell Ministries Author, Evidence That Demands A Verdict and More Than a Carpenter

"Well-researched and thoroughly documented, the prophetic voice of Marlin Maddoux is just what every concerned parent needs to hear. It's time to take back our children's education before it's too late. Our country's future may just depend on it." Don Wildmon Chairman, American Family Association

"It is my fervent prayer that every parent, every taxpayer, and every citizen concerned with the direction of this country will read this book and learn what really is going on inside America's public school system. I is only after we have been educated ourselves that we can stand and make a difference in the education of our children." Tim LaHaye Author, Left Behind series

"Martin Luther once warned, 'I am much afraid that schools will prove to be the great gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth.' Now comes a volume documenting modern rationale for Luther's fears. I am pleased to recommend this book by the late great Marlin Maddoux. He is gone, but not forgotten." Dr. D. James Kennedy President, Coral Ridge Ministries Sr. Pastor, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church

From the Publisher

"Political correctness" replaces freedom of speech on college campuses, Moral Relativism slithers into high school sex education classes, and brainwashing techniques take root in kindergarten. These are just a few of the unsettling realities that emerge from today’s public school system. In his book Public Education Against America: The Hidden Agenda, Marlin Maddoux uncovers how America’s public education persistently erodes the faith and values of American children in an ongoing effort to create a godless, humanistic society.

Reading, Writing and Arithmetic went out the door, and in stepped Secular Humanism. Maddoux unveils the truth about what happens behind closed doors in classrooms across the nation. He uses actual events to disclose the warped worldviews that adversely affect how and what American children are taught, blacking out the Christian foundation of our nation and thrusting those values into the abyss of distant memory.

Discover how patriotism is shunned and acts of terrorism defended. Thoroughly researched and documented, this is one book that every taxpayer, parent, and college student must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book matches experience, November 21, 2006
This review is from: Public Education Against America (Hardcover)
I have read at least half a dozen books by people with widely diverse interests, but they are all saying the same thing--our kids are being systematically brainwashed into the atheistic worldview that is secular humanism. This book is the only one that explains exactly how the educators are doing it. It shows parents exactly what to look for, and how speech codes disguise what is really being taught. I know there are parents out there who think this is only going on in California and Massachusetts, but I can testify that these techniques have been used in Kansas for at least 20 years. They are the reason I pulled my kids out of the public schools. When my son was inducted into the gifted program, I couldn't understand why they had to do psychological profiles on him. Now I know. I spent some time in the education program at one of the public universities in Kansas and dropped out of it because they were training future teachers in the techniques described in this book. This book is a must read if only because it shows parents what to look for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Left, Middle or Right can all learn from this book., October 26, 2006
This review is from: Public Education Against America (Hardcover)
Whether you lean to the left or the right or are middle of the road this is a must read for all parents, educators and students! This book is not an attack on teachers. It is a revealing look at what is going on and the curriculum in today's public schools. Few realize the federal mandates and control imposed on all public schools and even fewer realize the basis of the curriculum which is being taught to our children, that often includes politicians and educators themselves. The book reveals the influences of the "Hegelian dialectic" and the psychology used to shape our children into what the secular progressives would have them to be. It reveals how our children are stripped of their values and lead to accept the values of an almost anything goes socialistic society. Only those far left and extremely liberal will not enjoy this book, and that is only because it reveals their dirty little secrets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indoctrination of the innocent, December 29, 2006
This review is from: Public Education Against America (Hardcover)
Before I read this book I already knew that our public education system had serious problems. Reading this book was not only informative it was also scary. It puts in detail how the public school system is brainwashing innocent children and taking the place of the parent.

It points out that the education system is undermining the parents role as the upbringer and spiritual guardian of their own children telling them that everything their parents teach them is wrong.

Also many insert their socialist and pro-marxist agendas into the minds of children from Kindergarden and up.

The recomendation is to pull your children out of public school NOW!!!
