"One does not need agree with Samuel Blumenfield and Alex Newman on everything to agree that Crimes of the Educators makes a compelling case that America’s public education system must undergo radical change if future generations are to have any chance of living in a free and prosperous country."

"The very title of this book, Crimes of the Educators, indicates that its authors don’t dwell merely on the dismal product of America’s government-led education system. Blumenfeld and Newman show that planning for the abysmal failure was created more than a century ago. These two superb researchers don’t lament only what has occurred, as lamentable as the product of government schooling has become. They expose the plan, name its planners, and then provide solid recommendations for reversing America’s educational catastrophe."

"This chilling exposé reveals that from John Dewey to Bill Gates the progressive utopians continue their long march through our nation’s K-12 public schools. Their end goal? A dumbed-down America where phonics, patriotism, and even the Almighty take a back seat to creating a collectivist society of passive proletariats."

"Sam Blumenfeld and Alex Newman have launched a counter-Fabian American Revolution in education with this book as they meticulously document the agenda of Dewey and his progressives and demonstrate how Dewey and his change-agents shifted education from a modality that taught how to think critically into one of behaviorism and collectivism. Parents, students, teachers and taxpaying Americans will be shocked by the findings in this book. All the pieces of the puzzle fall together as Crimes of the Educators demonstrates exactly why our education system seems so disjointed and detrimental to the development of our students. Blumenfeld writes about how Dewey and his ilk considered phonetic reading to be a “fetish” and how their pictographs have directly caused illiteracy, dyslexia, ADD, and a host of other social ills. This should be required reading for all Americans who care about the future of their children and of the country."

"We all have markers in our political growth, milestones we remember our whole lives. One such milestone for me was reading Sam Blumenfeld’s NEA: Trojan Horse in American Education. A true pioneer in educational reform – and now joined by Alex Newman – Sam has done it again with Crimes of the Educators. The timing couldn’t be better. If one book can tear down the liberal wall against school choice, this will be it."

"Crimes of Educators presents the culmination of over four decades of research into the causes for the decline of education in America. Blumenfeld and Newman have utterly exposed those most responsible for improving education and explain how they have purposefully pursued educational policies and teacher training methods that have contributed significantly to its decline. Beyond painting a dark picture of the educational landscape and identifying the perpetrators, they give practical recommendations for restoring excellence in education."

Crimes of the Educators by Samuel Blumenfeld and Alex Newman is must reading for every parent. The failure to teach children to read in the first grade means that they fall farther behind with each passing year and become bored and resentful of school. The title of this book used the word “crimes” and that is not too strong a word to describe what has been done to American children.

Samuel L. Blumenfeld is the author of eight books on education, including: Is Public Education Necessary? NEA: Trojan Horse in American Education, The Whole Language/OBE Fraud, and Homeschooling: A Parent's Guide to Teaching Children.

Alex Newman is an international journalist, educator, and consultant who is currently based in Europe but has lived on four continents. He has a degree in journalism from the University of Florida and has worked for numerous publications in the U.S. and abroad.
