The "dumbing down of America" is upon us.  For a nation that had been able to point with pride to extraordinary advances in all areas of endeavor carried out by individuals, with no assistance whatsoever from the government, the early years of the twentieth century reflected a “Turning of the Tides.” A socialist philosophy, much of which came from Europe, brought radical changes in economics, politics, and education, which was funded by several wealthy American families and their tax-exempt foundations. The goal of these families is/was to achieve a non-competitive global system for commerce and trade which when stripped of flowery expressions of concern for minorities, the less fortunate, etc., represents the initial stage of the deliberate dumbing down of america, hence creating a global workforce. The planned global workforce training by the Carnegie and Rockefeller foundations was implemented by the US Congress in 1999. Please see following post for a link to the full text.
