Education or Indoctrination

The Gablers do a great job of comparing America's traditional educational institutions with the modern public school system. For a couple of hundred years the Bible was an integral part of a young person's education in the United States. But that has changed in the past few decades. This book is dated now, but I think it is still thought-provoking and historically important.

Excellent!!

It will open your eyes! I homeschool now, not just for this reason, but now my children will never go back to public school. This book doesnt force homeschool though, it is just an option they briefly mention. They give you ways to fight for better text books in your public school and also your rights as a parent! You may want to read through your childrens books with them as well so you can correct anything they learn that is incorrect or against your values! This has been going on for a long time, I could relate to some of this personally from when I was in school over 10 years ago.. I'm sure it is much worse now! A must read!

A MUST read for all parents!!!!

This book is the story of a Texas couple who get involved in reading school textbooks when one of their sons asks them about a part of American history. When they answer, he says, "That's not what my textbook says!" Upon reading the son's text, the Gablers were appalled to find a very differnt story of American history. This incident lead them to looking at his other texts and ultimately, to reading multiple texts and voicing their concerns to the textbook committee in their state.The book opens with the Gablers being interviewed by Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes. He chooses an excerpt from a text which, upon being read, was SO obscene that it could not be aired!To see what has happened to American education, what the educational "experts" think important and, perhaps, some answers as to what has happened in our schools and how we got to Columbine, read this book. BUT, be prepared to be shocked at what your children are being exposed to in the name of "education" and to be shocked at what they DON'T know. Be SURE to take the test on page 20, a sample from a high school ENTRANCE test from 1911. See how you do.Be forewarned, you may get angry, you may be appalled, you will want answers from SOMEONE as to WHY our children are being exposed to information which cannot be sent through the airwaves due to obscenity laws and WHY the rights of parents are being infringed upon in the name of education. Be ready to wonder WHY the educational "experts" have and are fighting so hard for this information to remain in our children't texts and WHY they are so opposed to parents being informed about the content of texts, and why they are so hostile to parents, like the Gablers, who wish to call them to accountability to us, the taxpaying parents.DON'T MISS THIS BOOK!!
