Couldn't agree with you more regarding Charlotte Iserbyt , her research showing how we've been deliberately dumbed down is irrefutable and her knowledge is second to none. Another website worth looking at is American Deception, it's managed by her son, Sam.

The following quotes say it better than i can and it's only going to get worse

"Every child in America entering school at the age of five is insane because he comes to school with certain allegiances to our founding fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It's up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well - by creating the international child of the future"

• Dr. Chester M. Pierce, Psychiatrist, address to the Childhood International Education Seminar, 1973

Teaching school children to read was a "perversion" and high literacy rate bred "the sustaining force behind individualism."

• John Dewey, Educational Psychologist

“The world is changing education must also change. Societies everywhere are undergoing deep transformation, and this calls for new forms of education to foster the competencies that societies and economies need, today and tomorrow. This means moving beyond literacy and numeracy, to focus on learning environments and new approaches to learning for greater justice, social equity and global solidarity. Education must be about learning to live on a planet under pressure. It must be about cultural literacy, on the basis of respect and equal dignity helping weave together the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development.”
