The Gates of Hell, The Educational Establishment and Behavioral Disorganization September 7, 2005 Curtis Kekoa III I haven't written anything for a while; as of late the gates of hell are trying to withstand the truth about the failed government school system.  As a result, I've had to "bone up" on the subject which has taken a lot of time away from producing anything on the website.  But because hell's gates can't withstand the Truth, I'll be back to regular writing in no time. One would be pleased to know, however, that my research about Caesar's grasp of a failed edumacadational system and the sheeple's dependence upon it for baby-sitting has revealed even more juicy evidence of not only the system's failure, but also of its destructiveness to true education, bolstering my argument for an exodus of Christians and non-Christians from the clutches of professional buffoons, leeches and rapists, otherwise known as teachers, school administrators and educational bureaucrats. One of the items of my research, NEA:  Trojan Horse in American Education by Dr. Samuel L. Blumenfeld, chronicles the NEA - the National Education Association, a misnomer - from its inception in the 1800's until 1984, when the book was published, and the NEA's assault upon education.  What Blumenfeld reveals is a conspiratorial web of "educational" provocateurs bent upon socializing the United States through a centralized "educational" system by means of intentionally dumbing-down and literally disabling the "educated."  The following is an excerpt from the book concerning the reading method taught in government schools and its destructive, yet expected result:
	"It is known that in 1934, when the negative effects of look-say [reading method] were already becoming known to the professors who were promoting the method, a group of about 200 Americans spent the summer in the Soviet Union attending the Anglo-American Institute of Moscow University.  They were offered a variety of courses [...] all taught by Soviet professors in English.  We don't know if there were any teachers of reading among them, but the New York Times of July 23, 1934 reported that politically and socially the students were 'of many types, ranging from members of students' radical organizations to Groton graduates planning to enter Harvard or Yale next fall.' "According to researcher K. M. Heaton, one of the courses taken by Americans was something called 'psychopolitics,' that is, the application of psychology and the principles of mental health to the conquest of the United States by the communists.  It is well known that Soviet psychologists had experimented with methods of artificially inducing behavioral disorganization in human beings.  In fact, the major experimental work in that field was conducted by Soviet psychologist Aleksandr. R. Luria, whose book, The Nature of Human Conflicts, was translated into English and published in the United States in 1932.  The translator was Dr. W. Horsely Gantt of Johns Hopkins University who himself had spent the years 1922-1929 in the Soviet Union, working for five of those years in the laboratories of Prof. Pavlov on the physiology of the brain [...] By the 1930s, a very cordial and intimate relationship existed among Soviet and American psychologists and psychiatrists.   "In Chapter One [of his book], Luria writes:  'Pavlov obtained very definitive affective "breaks," an acute disorganization of behavior, each time the conditioned reflexes collided, when the animal was unable to react to two mutually exclusive tendencies.'" "It is known that by imposing look-say teaching techniques on an alphabetic writing system, one can artificially induce dyslexia, thereby creating a learning block or reading neurosis.  Reading disability is a form of behavior disorganization induced by the look-say method, because look-say sets up two mutually exclusive tendencies:  the tendency to look at written English as an ideographic system, like Chinese, and the tendency to look at written English as a phonetic system because it is alphabetic. "The alphabetic system is in harmony with the spoken language because it is based on it.  But the ideographic look-say system is in opposition to the spoken language because it is an entirely separate system of graphic symbols with no direct relation to any specific language [...] In look-say, the written word is treated as a picture that can be interpreted by the reader in any way he or she wishes. "It is obvious that American psychologists know as much about all of this as the Russians.  In fact, the article on reading in the 1911 edition of the Cyclopedia of Education, written by Henry Suzzallo of the Teachers College, explained all of this quite clearly.  And Luria's experiments indicate that psychologists know how to artificially induce dyslexic behavior.  True dyslexia is so rare a condition, that it was virtually unheard of before 1930.   But artificially induced dyslexia is today the most common learning disability in the United States.  And that is why in the Soviet Union, look-say is not taught [...] The behaviorist educators have always known about that artificially induced dyslexia could be eliminated overnight by switching the primary school books back to intensive phonics [...] If literacy is ever to gain ascendancy in the United States, it will have to be done outside the public education system which is totally controlled by the behaviorists" (129-132).
Thank you, Dr. Blumenfeld.  In case anyone was wondering like I was about why our country doesn't read or write effectively and why its glued to a television set, you just read the answer.  Believe it or not there's so much more, and researching the destructive nature of the government's school system continues to almost no end.  Can you see the gates bowing in on themselves?
