President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the first agreements with the Soviet Union in 1958, including an education agreement—something that would not come as a surprise to those familiar with the White House-directed plan to merge the United States and the Soviet Union explained to Norman Dodd in 1953 by Rowan Gaither, president of the Ford Foundation. Similar agreements have been signed from that time forward. The most important education agreements negotiated between the Carnegie Corporation and the Soviet Academy of Science, and those signed by Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev in 1985, remain in effect to this day. The forties and fifties set all the essential ingredients in place for implementation in the sixties of a system of education geared to behavior and values change.

Arresting... Disturbing... Exciting

NOW for the First Time—the AMAZING STORY OF COMMUNISTS’ INIQUITOUS CORRUPTION OF AMERICA’S SCHOOL CHILDREN

HOW does the small Sovieteer minority control loyal teachers in our schools and colleges? HOW are anti-American, anti-religious, anti-Christ textbooks forced upon teachers and students? WHY are Washington and Jefferson ridiculed, while Marx and Lenin are canonized in the schools? WHY are boys and girls of 13 taught free love, sexual promiscuity, and other degrading subjects?

WHAT’S GOING ON IN OUR AMERICAN SCHOOLS ANYWAY?

The answers to these and other dismaying questions are all found in Education for Destruction

[A]n eyewitness account by Dr. B.R. Burchett, former Head of Department of Latin in the Philadelphia public school system. It is a fearless and devastating exposé of Communism in America’s schools, its concealed objectives, hidden motives, serpent-like power, and its vicious demoralization of children and adolescents. EVERY parent... EVERY educator... EVERY clergyman should read this book! [emphasis in original]
