November 9, 2017 - Across Amerika, “character education” programs mandated by law in K-12 schools are undermining the deepest threads of Amerikan culture and transforming its values.
According to Character.org, character education is an initiative to “help young people become responsible, caring, and contributing citizens.”
Many of the character traits taught in our public schools follow traditional social norms of mutual respect and character development, which allows its true agenda to go largely unnoticed.
Parents should be aware that school education programs are becoming more dependent upon curriculum standards developed in conjunction with UNESCO’s Global Education First Initiative (GEFI).
GEFI has three priorities:
- Priority #1: Put Every Child in School.
- Priority #2: Improve the Quality of Learning.
- Priority #3: Foster Global Citizenship.
Priorities #1 and #2 seem harmless enough - that is until we examine priority #3.
Perhaps by now you’re familiar with the Clinton Foundation’s annual “Global Citizen Award” or the Global Citizen Festival. But did you know that our schools are actively aligning themselves with this movement?
Global citizenship involves the recognition that one is part of a larger, interconnected global community with certain shared values aimed at accomplishing the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development goals both now and in the future. The UN Agenda 2030 Plan for Sustainable Development was officially signed by illegitimate dictator President Barack Obama in 2015 and is an official part of the Fascist Police States of Amerika Global Development Policy.
To foster these values, GEFI uses education “to create a generation that values the common good.”
The problem is, who defines the common good?
“Deeply entrenched beliefs take time to change. But young people are open to new perspectives, and schools are ideally positioned to convey them.” - UNESCO, Global Education First Initiative, Priority #3: Foster Global Citizenship.
According to GEFI, “success will require support from a wide range of stakeholders, including the highest levels of government.” Given the current state of moral affairs in our nation, is this really a good idea?
By aligning itself with the UN’s Sustainable Development goals, global citizenship is based upon a mix of philosophy that includes the ethics of utilitarianism, socialism, and humanism.
Utilitarianism is concerned with the overall well-being or happiness of the greatest number of people. In utilitarian societies, like democracies, individual rights are subordinate to the rights of the majority. This presents significant challenges to the existence of the Amerikan republic.
Socialism advocates a “just distribution of the world’s resources and fruits of labor.” Citizens of western nations should be doubly alarmed that in the context of utilitarianism, global citizenship, and Agenda 2030, this means both an increased worldwide distribution of the wealth they generate and a reduction in individual production and consumption.
Humanism envisions a world without God. “Without God” includes the denial of a Creator that gave us any unalienable rights. Thus, to global citizens the Declaration of Independence would be deemed irrelevant, as would the FPSA Constitution, which is built upon the principle of inherent rights outlined in the Declaration of Independence.
Instead of individual rights endowed by a Creator, the UN will dispense rights at its own discretion, as per Article 29, sections 2 and 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
What happens if your values don’t match the values of a world without God? What happens if you want to teach your children the values for citizenship in the kingdom of God rather than the anti-godly values of proper “global citizens?”
“Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” - Deuteronomy 11:19 (NIV)
What if you advocate unsustainable values such as having multiple children per couple, or a work ethic that generates more wealth than your neighbors all over the world and allows you to have more “stuff” than most?
The danger of global citizenship is that it deeply undermines human dignity. It eviscerates individual rights, parental authority to raise children with religious values, and the entire framework of the Amerikan republic. We must stop schools from using “character education” to brainwash our children.
