Currently, the teachers seem afraid of being sued if they teach how the First Amendment used to be taught, that is how it was taught up to at least 1947. You see it was the Supreme Court of 1947 that unconstitutionally reversed the 200 year established intent of America to have the Bible available to the children. Such a change should not have happened except and unless by national vote, but it was allowed to happen by the bluff of a run-a-way supreme court, also referred to as the court that rebelled against God, reversed the Constitution, and got away with it by the ignorance and preoccupation of the people.

A Harvard Education Professor said at an educators' seminar, The children are sick when they first enter school. They believe in God, family, absolute values, and nationalism (i.e. America); but we can fix that by the time they leave elementary school. They will believe in science, the values of man, evolution, humanism, relative values, and in the U.N. as the best hope of the world to solve the problems of mankind where religion and nationalism have failed.

The Humanist magazine stated, "We are winning the battle for the hearts and minds of the children in the classroom over the rotting corpse of Christianity." John Dewey, the acknowledged Father of Modern Education was an acknowledged atheist who penned the Humanist Manifesto I.
No teacher's training is complete without an understanding of the importance in America of the signatures and supporters of the Humanist Manifesto 1, Humanist Manifesto 2, and Humanist Manifesto 3. No students learning is complete without an exposure to this titanic battle for the soul.

The next document related to this is the U.N. Plan for World Governance released in 1999 and planned meeting by Oct. 2000. They also have similar plans in effect now for ten years in America for world education for world governance. Just as Bill Clinton's Assistanct Secretary of State has pronounced that America would be under the U.N. in this century.
They are preparing the way through our school curriculum.
Do not ignore the pronouncements that have been made from our highest officials.
Study to show the truth. Ignorance for any excuse is inexcusable when it comes to training up children. Nations have been re-molded in a few years through powerful control of school curriculum for its children.

As our founding fathers warned, America was too strong to be defeated by external attack,... if we lost what was given to us, it would be by internal forces slowly disintegrating the strong roots of liberty from within. Now, for 53 years, America has slowly allowed its roots to be dug up and replaced little by little, until finally people even mis-quote the First Amendment and don't know the others either.

Much less do they know the original intent of the First Amendment or of The Northwest Ordinance which allowed for the entrance of states into the Union only if they had godly schools. And the explanations from the first five presidents and the first five supreme courts are totally avoided, omitted from any federal-state subsidized text-book.

This gigantic cultural shift in America is omitted from our students texts. They have been robbed of their heritage roots. So far as they know the First Amendment has always been taught as it is now. Talk about a rewriting of history, just revisit Brave New World and 1984 for a clear example of how rewritten history affects the youth and the nation.
