Before you read the rest of the description, please recognize this Friday is November 11, 2022.  I want to give my heart-felt appreciation and love to our military as we recognize them this Veteran's Day.  Thanks to our military, we have more freedoms than a MAJORITY of the world!  Do the research and see that I am correct about that prior state.  GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY.  Thanks to you, I can have a podcast.  Thanks to our military, we can speak freely!  FIGHT THE GOOD AND RIGHTEOUS FIGHT!***************************************Today we continue this provocative series!  Please do checkout our previous series on "The Imbalance of Ethnic Studies." Starting with this specific episode, we are definitely dividing this chapter into at least THREE PARTS!  This is part two starting on page 131 of the book!  BUY THE BOOK!!  This is an incredible accusation / allegation the author is making.  I want to give more attention to this as we are seeing a strong possibility of "Soviet" influence some 35-40 years later! We need your financial support for our business expenses (podcast / website / marketing / etc.).  We appreciate any amount of money you are willing to give to help continue are mission.  THANK YOU.https://bit.ly/3g7Rn1pMy email is [email protected] My website is https://www.conductingmylife.comThis series will focus on Samuel L. Blumenfeld's NEA TROJAN HORSE IN AMERICAN EDUCATION (1984).  I cannot write that enough... this book was published in 1984.  What does the American Education system look like 38 years after the publication of this seminal work?  Frankly -- a little known work.  If I had read this book in 1989, I wonder how I would have felt about the American Education and / or the National Education Association?There are a total of twenty-one chapters, and I will go through all 21 chapters.  A chapter an episode / week.  Please, do what you can to share this podcast with your friends and other important people!!   Here are several titles of upcoming chapters:Five - TURNING CHILDREN INTO ANIMALSSeven - THE PROGRESSIVES TAKE OVER THE NEANine - THE BIGGEST LOBBY IN WASHINGTONTwelve - THE NEA HELPS PROMOTE FUNCTIONAL ILLITERACYThirteen - THE SOVIET CONNECTIONSeventeen - RADICALISM AND THE NEATwenty - THE HUMANIST CURRICULUM.From 1989-2021, I taught high school music.  Three of those years, I was at a private school!  I have an understanding what the American Education has morphed into and now I have one idea (NEA TROJAN HORSE IN AMERICAN EDUCATION) how the American Education system is where it is today.   Teachers who actually will listen to this series, THANK YOU!  There will be many parts of the book that will challenge you.  Challenge you on ... what a load of crap Blumenfeld is or my goodness... I KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING TODAY and it was happening in 1984 and it is still happening over 38 years later?!Please consider giving the book a chance.  Learn where the angst towards the teachers / American Education System is coming from.  This book helps give an explanation for the angst.https://www.amazon.com/NEA-Trojan-Horse-American-Education/dp/091498103X/ref=sr_1_2?crid=30SHK1DU2M779&keywords=nea+trojan+horse+in+american+education&qid=1655841738&sprefix=NEA+trojan%2Caps%2C1408&sr=8-2
