 "In October 1999, the United States Department of Education, headed by education secretary Richard Riley, endorsed as 'promising' a number of math programs including Mathland, which does not teach standard arithmetic operations such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, and instead herds children into groups where they invent their own ways, away from 'teacher-imposed rules.' . . . Everyday Math depends on calculators from kindergarten and one of its grade 5 worksheets includes this gem: A. If math were a color, it would be ____, because ____. B. If it were a food, it would be ____, because ____. C. If it were weather, it would be ____, because ____. The federal panel that came up with these recommendations included Steven Leinwand, author of a 1994 Education Week article in which he argued that 'It's time to recognize that, for many students, real mathematical power, on the one hand, and facility with multi-digit, pencil-and-paper computational algorithms, on the other, are mutually exclusive. In fact, it's time to acknowledge that continuing to teach these skills to our students is not only unnecessary, but counterproductive and downright dangerous.'"

"In 1999, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), not Congress, raised the [unconstitutional] federal telephone e-rate tax by 73%. . . You'll see taxes and other charges itemized, but you won't see the Gore tax (e-rate tax) listed. Why? The Federal Communications Commission has forbidden telephone companies from telling the American people about the tax. . . . [I f telephone companies] use the words 'FCC, federal, required or mandated' to list and identify the e-rate tax on customer telephone bills, they will be subject to FCC retribution. . . ."

"Columnist Paul Craig Roberts recently wrote: 'In effect, native-born U.S. citizens are being ethnically cleansed, not by violence but by their own immigration policy. With the United States taking in 1.2 million immigrants annually, and with that number again entering illegally, cultural homogeneity has been the casualty. . . . One downside to the massive non-European immigration is that, thanks to the liberals' civil rights policies, every one of these immigrants enters the United States as a preferred minority, with legal privileges that native-born citizens of European-origin do not have. . . .'"

To do so increases the schools' intake of federal funds. That makes it all legal for the schools to do about anything they want with your child."
