Educating for the 'New World Order'
B. K. Eakman

This is the incredible story of how one gutsy woman stood the whole education establishment on its head and forced a cabinet level government agency to obey the law. What began as a simple citizen complaint against a local school district resulted in a massive investigation and coverup of irregularities in this nation's education system dating as far back as 1965. Education bureaucrats in Pennsylvania never dreamed they would one day be on the losing side of a fight against their Washington counterparts, whom they previously had imagined to be allies. Even less did officials in Washington dream they would be out maneuvered into opening a Pandora's Box of white papers, position papers, working papers, official memos, appropriations, review boards, `secure' lists, and task forces that eventually would reveal one of the most unique and mind boggling cases of misrepresentation in American history. Anita Hoge herself did not expect to be declared winner in a case against the U.S. government — even before it went to court . . . and before she had had a chance to make her case public. A more detailed summary is available online.

Outcome-Based Education

For decades, concerned parents have fought against the sharp increase in national illiteracy and decline in high school test scores, calling for substantial education reform. Yet, recent changes in our nation's school systems have resulted in neither a return to strong, traditional education nor the pursuit of higher academic standard, but rather the implementation of a radical new philosophy known as "Outcome-Based Education." Public concern surrounding OBE is well-founded. Not only is this plan far from the cure-all its supporters claim, it is both a harm to students and an alarming threat to families. Research shows that the phenomenally expensive OBE system:

• limits the involvement of parents in the education process, while supporters claim a "pro-parent" position
• de-emphasizes academics and focuses on subjective goals like "problem solving," "effective communication," and “appreciating others”
• increases the control of education bureaucrats attempts to shape the attitudes and behaviors of students
