I have nothing to add to this author other than suggest you read "When a Nation Forgets God" by Erwin Lutzer and buy the documentary film "IndocriNation:Public Schools and the Decline of Christianity in America (2011) ," which describes our public school system as "pagan."
Here are excerpts from the article:

The Nazi Party didn’t take control of Germany until 1933, but the Hitler Youth were numbering over one thousand members as early as 1923. By 1925, they ballooned to five thousand members. Less than ten years later, they numbered over two million.

| He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future. – Adolf Hitler |
Hitler understood the power of controlling the youth of the country. He used many different methods to increase his influence over the young, from setting himself up as a father figure, to holding huge rallies and directing their focus at a specific “enemy.” He also worked to keep them ignorant, letting them learn only what he felt they needed to know.
In 1937, Hitler ordered all German children into the government schools. He said:
“The Youth of today is ever the people of tomorrow. For this reason we have set before ourselves the task of innoculating our youth with the spirit of this community of the people at a very early age, at an age when human beings are still unperverted and therefore unspoiled. This Reich stands, and it is building itself up for the future, upon its youth. And this new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.”
Homeschooling was officially outlawed in Germany. Hitler wanted the state to have total control over the education of the nation’s youth. He knew that they were the key to his success, the key to a totalitarian rule.
Today in Germany, decades after his death, parents are being persecuted for homeschooling. The German government is still enforcing Hitler’s laws. And they are once again becoming more aggressive in their methods of enforcement.

John Dewey, considered the father of modern education, was a fan of the early Soviet Union’s eduactional system. In a December 5, 1928 issue of the New Republic, Dewey wrote of “the marvelous development of progressive educational ideas and practices under the fostering care of the Bolshevist government.”
Dewey is also quoted as saying, “Children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society which is coming where everyone is interdependent.”
In 1932, Dewey wrote “Individualism Old and New”, where he stated, “We are in for some kind of socialism, call it by whatever name we please, and no matter what it will be called when it is realized.” According to Wikipedia, Dewey opined:
…that fixing the problem with culture is one in the same with that of liberating the individual; by abolishing culture driven by private pecuniary gain and reaffirming the importance of community and industrial cooperative control, Dewey argues that the individual will be harmonized with his communities and liberated to achieve true progress.
Two years later, Dewey was named Honorary Life President of the National Education Association (NEA). Today, the NEA is the largest labor union in the United States. It is also one of homeschooling’s biggest enemies.
The National Education Association has voted to abolish homeschooling every year since 1988. NEA resolution B-75, passed in 2007, read:
Instruction should be by persons who are licensed by the appropriate state education licensure agency, and a curriculum approved by the state department of education should be used. The Association also believes that home-schooled students should not participate in any extracurricular activities in the public schools.
This is similar to other resolutions it has passed. In the eyes of the NEA, the government is the sole authority on what should be taught and who should be allowed to teach it. It is this socialist mentality that has created the negative view of homeschooling in America, as illustrated by the Second District Court of Appeal’s decision.

This attitude manifests itself across the nation, from judges to social workers...
In one instance, a social worker in Michigan demanded entry into the family’s home and that they be allowed to strip search the children. When the mother refused to allow entry, the social worker threatened to get the police and shouted over the mother’s protests. What could have been so important that it was worth violating a citizen’s Constitutional rights?
The family was accused of allowing their two boys to listen to Christian music. The tipster said that the children ate their cheerios dry and received nearly all their socialization through their church. The tipster asserted the children were not in school. Furthermore, the anonymous tipster said the fourteen- and ten-year-old were seen outside playing without adult supervision and the mother pinched and hit her kids in church to keep them quiet.
Situations involving social workers demanding entry into private homes or demanding to see children without the presence of parents has become such a concern that the Home School Legal Defense Association has written a list of tips on how to handle the situation. Every day there are more parents who need such advice.

Comment by American Infidel on March 18, 2013 at 10:07am I was concerned this morning when I heard Glenn Beck talking about this very subject, and talking about the German law, but he made no mention of the fact that the law he is referring to was put in place by the Nazi Party in 1938, and has been on the books in Germany since then. How odd that the German nation repealed all the Nazi-era laws except one or two, and the anti-homeschooling law was one that they chose to leave in place.
I am praying today for all the homeschoolers in our nation. They need our prayers and our support, and giving to the Home School Legal Defense Association is a good idea, too.

Comment by Chris Jurrians on March 17, 2013 at 5:37pm @Gail Engelhardt, Here is everything you will need to take on common core. What is on this web site will make your hair curl. This is where the battle will take place...in the public indoctrination centers aka your local public school. If your state partook in the Race to the Top, your state is using the common core lessons. Rupert Murdoch is involved in common core as is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and other so-called "foundations".
Michigan has a bill pending to withdraw us from the common core. I am giving testimony Wednesday as to why it is bad, along with many others. One brave legislator has decided to take on our state board of education. As we have a progressive governor who disguises himself as a republican, and likes to feed at the trough of federal dollars, it is going to be a hard slog.

Comment by J.R.Wallon on March 17, 2013 at 2:56pm THERE USED TO BE A SAYING,"THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE NATION RULES THE NATION" THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO BE BOTH MAMA AND PAPA...WITH ALL THE ILLEGITIMATES AND THOSE PARENTS WITH THEIR HANDS OUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Comment by Ranchman on March 17, 2013 at 12:29pm We all know what the govt is doing, to homeschooling families and everything else. We have nowhere near the funding and organization, even at a grassroots level, that the Left has. George Soros alone is worth an estimated $24 Billion dollars and is literally pouring billions into completely destroying our way of life. He's anti-capitalist, yet has earned every penny of his money in the free market; he's a Communist, yet has lived a very fruitful life under a free society; and is working to dumb down our kids,but his kids and family all received a world-class education. The hypocrisy of the Left (aka Marxists) is astounding and it should be obvious to everyone that the only thing that matters to these people is their bottom line. Nothing they come up with is good for anyone but themselves and their own pocketbook. If we allow these evil people, who want to spread their filth of communism in our communities, to succeed, we only have ourselves to blame.
I don't mean to be so cynical. It's just that after having studied current world events for the last ten years or so, together with being a Vet and serving under the "leadership" of the UN for two years (on the Korean DMZ in the truce village), I've seen my share of hypocrisy. I don't see any way to defeat these so-called "Progressives" who are really just evil Communists unless we all stand united against them. That's EVERYONE. They're attacking every aspect of our way of life. They need to be stopped, but simply signing petitions and "voting the bums out" doesn't seem to work anymore, does it?
This guy makes a lot of sense. Although it might be a little too much for some, after you watch this, ask yourself if you really think there's another way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkAn3VIe1yQ
Comment by Kenneth A Immeke on March 17, 2013 at 12:05pm The fact that people would elect a man (Obama) with 20 years as a member of Trinity black Theology church which is pro-Castro pro-Chavez and anti capitalist or communist church shows a lack of education on just what horrors of mass murder & starvation communists have inflicted on nations. One good book that should be required reading in schools is a documentary by Jasper Becker (hungry ghosts: Mao’s Secret Famine).
Comment by Rich Knoch on March 17, 2013 at 11:53am This Regimes goal is cradle-to-grave-control of its citizens . . . they seek to subdue Free-Thought.
Free Thought and Free Enterprise has made the USA the world's Economic Engine. This regime is replacing that with the Fed's Virtual Cash . . . a guaranteed disaster that guarantees our future to Dust-Bins of history!
The easiest way to implement their cradle-to-grave goal is through public indoctrination and brainwashing; i.e., public education as ordained by the Fed's Department of Mis-Education. Race-to-the-Bottom is a current example, with its first standard being pre-determination of a students future career while in high school.
Ask yourself and friends . . . . did you know what you wanted to become, while in high school . . . and did you reach this goal, or, along the way, achieve another one that was more self satisfying?
Goals should be set, but not fixed, so self-determination, changing-your-mind and goals, are allowed to occur.

The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was created in 1938 to investigate alleged disloyalty and subversive activities on the part of private citizens, public employees, and those organizations suspected of having Communist ties. Reorganized from its previous incarnations as the Fish Committee and the McCormack-Dickstein Committee and with a new chairman, the cantankerous Martin Dies of Texas, HUAC's strident attacks on the Roosevelt administration prior to the outbreak of the war did not suit the political mood of a nation that was largely in favor of FDR's leadership. All that changed, however, in the postwar atmosphere of fear and contempt for the Soviet Union, at which time HUAC's activities commanded broad popular support and consistently attracted major headlines.
Through its power to subpoena witness and hold people in contempt of Congress, HUAC often pressured witnesses to surrender names and other information that could lead to the apprehension of Communists and Communist sympathizers. Committee members often branded witnesses as "red" if they refused to comply or hesitated in answering committee questions. In perhaps its most famous investigation, HUAC-member Richard Nixon, after weeks of dramatic hearings, was, at the final hour, able to reveal that Alger Hiss, a former State Department official, had lied to them about having "ever been a Communist." More importantly, however, the questioning style and examination techniques employed by HUAC served as the model upon which Senator Joseph McCarthy would conduct his investigative hearings in the early 1950s. Following Senator McCarthy's censure, however, and his subsequent departure from the Senate, the American public grew increasingly wary of the "redbaiting" techniques employed by HUAC and others. The work of the committee continued to decline in importance throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s until the committee itself was renamed the House Internal Security Committee in 1969, prefiguring its eventual abolition in 1975
Comment by Jack Kemp on March 17, 2013 at 11:33am DebraJoe, you can start reading about Senator Joseph McCarthy in Ann Coulter's book "Treason." As for the U.S. House of Representatives Unamerican Activities Committee (long time disbanded), a lot of the writing about them - as with McCarthy - will be critical or negative. However, even an honest scholar critic who lists a lot of facts could teach you much in their work.
I'm not trying to give you a hard time by nitpicking, Debrajoe, but you need the exact names involved if you are going to look these topics up.
Comment by Debrajoe Smith-Beatty on March 17, 2013 at 11:04am Senator Macarthy House of Un-American activities 1945-1947. We need to read up on that. We need to adopt some of the Senators tactics.
