The Weekly Sam: How Liberals Have Made Public Education A Criminal Enterprise

Published May 26, 2022 | By Hal Shurtleff

The link below is for one of Sam’s unpublished manuscript from 2013.  He ended up collaborating with Alex Newman to publish Crimes of the Educators in 2014-Sam’s last book before his death in 2015

http://blumenfeld.campconstitution.net/Manuscripts/How%20Liberals%20Have%20Made%20Public%20Education%20a%20Criminal%20Enterprise.pdf

This is the forward from the book:

Progressive utopians are criminals! They are genocidal psychopaths who have killed more
human beings in the last 100 years than any other ideologues in history. They don’t limit their
murder just to individuals, but to entire nations, as in National Socialist Germany’s war of
extermination against the Jews, the Soviet Union’s war against anti-communists, Cambodia’s
slaughter of the educated middle class, and communist China’s cultural war. And all of this was
done in the name of creating a new utopian society. In the United States the socialist utopians
adopted a new and unique method of destroying a nation: by dumbing it down, by destroying
the brain power of millions of its citizens.

The plan to dumb down America was launched in 1898 by socialist fanatic John Dewey in an
essay entitled The Primary Education Fetich. In it he showed his fellow progressives how to
transform America into a collectivist utopia by taking over the public schools and destroying the
literacy of millions of Americans. The plan has been so successfully implemented that it is now
a fact that half the adult population of America are functionally illiterate. They can’t read their
nation’s Constitution or its Declaration of Independence. They can’t read their high school
diplomas.

The method of achieving this was by simply changing the way children are taught to read in
their schools. The utopians got rid of the traditional intensive phonics method of instruction
and imposed a look-say, whole-word method that forces children to read English as if it were
Chinese. The method is widely in use in today’s public schools, which is why the American
public education system now consists of failing schools that cannot teach children the basics.
This can only be considered a blatant and sadistic form of child abuse.

And this abuse escapes detection because of the cleverness and deception of the perpetrators.
In his essay, Dewey warned his colleagues about being too hasty. “Change must come
gradually,” he wrote. “To force it unduly would compromise its final success by favoring a
violent reaction.” In other words, deception would have to be used in order for their plan to be
successfully implemented. They learned quickly how to deceive trusting parents and taxpayers.

They also learned how to manipulate politicians. They also knew that the children would be
powerless to resist their abuse. And teachers have been taught to blame academic failure on
the children and not themselves. Indeed, many of them revel in the idea that they are
transforming America to suit their own social interests.
Of course, most teachers are unaware that they are complicit in this evil conspiracy. They
simply do what they were taught to do by their professors of education. Few become aware
that their professors deceived them and prepared them to create failure. Most of these
teachers are as much victims of the system as the students they are teaching.

The purpose of this book is to expose the kind of crimes that are being committed every day
against American children and the nation in the name of education. Most parents trust the
public schools because they are supposed to represent the cherished values of our democratic
republic. But the unhappy truth is that today’s public schools have rejected the values of the
Founding Fathers and adopted values from 19th century European social utopians that
completely contradict our own concepts of individual freedom.
What are the crimes being perpetrated by the educators against America and its children? The
first most serious crime is Treason. In April 1983, The National Commission on Excellence in
Education said in its final report, A Nation at Risk:

If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre
educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of
war. As it stands, we have allowed this to happen to ourselves.

In other words, our educators are engaged in a deliberate dumbing down of America, of
sabotaging the intellectual growth of our children, and depriving Americans of the most
productive use of their own lives. This is a criminal act of war against the American people and
should be called what it is:

 Treason.

The deliberate dumbing down of an entire nation is genocidal in its impact on that nation’s
culture and intellectual future. No group of educators should have been permitted to impose
on American schools a program that is the antithesis of true education. But when deception is
practiced on the scale that is beyond public understanding, it becomes a crime as specific as
perjury under oath.

A second serious crime is child abuse by deliberately inflicting physical harm on a child’s brain
by using teaching methods designed to produce dyslexia and learning disabilities. Brain scans
now prove beyond a doubt that the sight, or whole-word, method of teaching reading creates
dyslexia and functional illiteracy by forcing children to use their right brains to perform the
functions of their left brains. Deliberately impairing a child’s brain ought to be a punishable
offense.

A third serious crime is contributing to the delinquency of a minor by teaching pornographic sex
education and “alternative” lifestyles that lead to pre-marital sex, venereal disease, and
unwanted pregnancies. More children are now born out of wedlock than ever before, creating
one of America’s most serious social problems. More American children are living in poverty
because of their parents adopting an irresponsible lifestyle based on liberal morality.

A fourth serious crime is destroying a child’s belief in biblical religion, a moral crime that leads
children into secular humanism, atheism, nihilism, and Satanism which can result in self destructive, murderous behavior. School shootings, massacres, arson, teen suicide, student depression, self-destructive behavior are the result of a school curriculum that denies the
existence of God and His loving protection.

A fifth serious crime is that of pushing drugs on millions of children by promoting the use of
powerful mind altering drugs such as Ritalin or Adderall, which are as potent as cocaine, to
alleviate such school-induced disorders as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention
Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). Some of these drugs have even caused sudden deaths
among athletic teens.

A sixth serious crime is extortion, by defrauding taxpayers of billions of dollars in the name of
school improvement and reform which never take place. The money is used by the educators to
buy more miseducation. The present reform movement is promoting the implementation of
Common Core Standards, which will not improve education but cost the taxpayers billions of
dollars. You cannot have high standards without high literacy, and high literacy has no place in
the new curriculum.

How do you deal with such criminality? First you have to be aware that it is taking place. Then
you must make your political leaders aware of what is going on in the schools. Most political
leaders wear blinders when dealing with education. For example, when it comes to
reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, our Washington legislators
tinker with its many titles in the hope that somehow education can be improved. But what
they fail to understand is that what goes on in the schools is based on an agenda that

Progressive utopians put in place decades ago and have no intention of deviating from it. Only a
massive outcry by an awakened public will force our state and national legislators to recognize
the crimes taking place in the name of education and put a stop to them.
There is no doubt that what goes on today in the public schools of America are criminal
activities of such a serious nature that millions of American children suffer their consequences
for their entire lives. We all recognize obvious child abuse when we see it. But the kind of
abuse that goes on in our schools escapes detection because of the cleverness and deception of
the perpetrators. Indeed, it is easier to believe a credible lie than an incredible truth.

Our educational leaders have learned how to deceive parents and the taxpaying public and get
away with it. They know that the children are powerless to resist their abuse. And they know
how to blame academic failure on the children and not themselves. Indeed, they revel in the
idea that they are transforming America to suit their own social interests. Only an enlightened
public will be able to put a stop to this degradation of American education.

President Biden is wrong.  Putin and Covid 19 are not responsible for inflation.  Inflation is nothing more than an increase in the money supply.  Since Biden, his handlers, and, Congress have opened the fiat money spicket, they are responsible.  Here is a timeless presentation made by the late Gary Allen in 1974:

The U.S. Supreme Court Rules 9-0 in Camp Constitution’s Christian Flag Lawsuit

Published May 2, 2022 | By Hal Shurtleff

I received a call today at 10:30 AM from Roger Gannam, one of the attorneys at Liberty Counsel who has been involved with our lawsuit from the very beginning.  He informed me that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in our favor 9-0.  Since then, I have conducted a batch of media interviews.  First, I want to give God the Glory.  His Hand was in this case from the beginning.  I want to thank the folks at Liberty Counsel that did an incredible job, and all of the people who support and make Camp Constitution possible.  The main mission of Camp Constitution is to teach people the U.S. Constitution.  I think that this issue has given the nation a good lesson on the 1st Amendment.  Below is the news release from Liberty Counsel announcing the decision.
SUPREME COURT HEARD RELIGIOUS VIEWPOINT CASE

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the City of Boston violated the Constitution by censoring a private flag in a public forum open to “all applicants” merely because the application referred to it as a “Christian flag.” The High Court stated that it is not government speech, and because the government admitted it censored the flag because it was referred to as a Christian flag on the application, the censorship was viewpoint discrimination, and there is no Establishment Clause defense.

Justice Breyer wrote the opinion in which Chief Justice Roberts, Sotomayor, Kagan, Kavanaugh, and Barrett joined. Justice Kavanaugh filed a concurring opinion. Justice Alito filed a concurring opinion in the judgment, in which Thomas and Gorsuch joined. Justice Gorsuch filed a concurring opinion in the judgment, in which Thomas joined.

In Shurtleff v. City of Boston, Liberty Counsel represents Boston resident Hal Shurtleff and his Christian civic organization, Camp Constitution. Shurtleff and Camp Constitution first asked the city in 2017 for a permit to raise the Christian flag on Boston City Hall flagpoles to commemorate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day (September 17) and the civic and cultural contributions of the Christian community to the City of Boston, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, religious tolerance, the Rule of Law and the U.S. Constitution.

 

The High Court wrote that “Boston did not make the raising and flying of private groups’ flags a form of government speech. That means, in turn, that Boston’s refusal to let Shurtleff and Camp Constitution raise their flag based on its religious viewpoint ‘abridg[ed]’ their ‘freedom of speech.’”

“We do not settle this dispute by counting noses—or, rather, counting flags. That is so for several reasons. For one thing, Boston told the public that it sought ‘to accommodate all applicants’ who wished to hold events at Boston’s ‘public forums,’ including on City Hall Plaza. App. to Pet. for Cert. 137a. The application form asked only for contact information and a brief description of the event, with proposed dates and times. The city employee who handled applications testified by deposition that he had previously ‘never requested to review a flag or requested changes to a flag in connection with approval’; nor did he even see flags before the events. Id., at 150a. The city’s practice was to approve flag raisings, without exception. It has no record of denying a request until Shurtleff’s. Boston acknowledges it ‘hadn’t spent a lot of time really thinking about’ its flag-raising practices until this case. App. in No. 20–1158 (CA1), at 140 (Rooney deposition). True to its word, the city had nothing—no written policies or clear in[1]ternal guidance—about what flags groups could fly and what those flags would communicate,’” the Court wrote.

In addition, the Court wrote, “Here, Boston concedes that it denied Shurtleff ’s request solely because the Christian flag he asked to raise “promot[ed] a specific religion.” App. to Pet. for Cert. 155a (quoting Rooney deposition). Under our precedents, and in view of our government-speech holding here, that refusal discriminated based on religious viewpoint and violated the Free Speech Clause” (emphasis added).

There are three flagpoles outside City Hall that fly the U.S., Massachusetts and Boston flags, plus a fourth flag on Congress Street, which runs parallel to City Hall. For 12 years from 2005-2017, Boston approved 284 flag-raisings by private organizations with no denials on the flagpoles that it designated as a “public forum.” Had the flag been referred to as anything but Christian, the city would have approved it. The flag itself was not the problem; it was the word “Christian” describing it in the application that was the issue. The year before Camp Constitution’s application (2016-2017), Boston approved 39 private flag-raising events, which averaged three per month. In 2018, Boston approved 50 private flag raising events, averaging nearly one per week. One included a flag of a private credit union.

The Justices commented on the longstanding test known as the “Lemon Test” which has been used to determine if a law violates the First Amendment. Its name comes from Lemon v. Kurtzman, in which the Court ruled that a Rhode Island law that paid some of the salary of some parochial school teachers was unconstitutional. This test has proven to be unworkable and has led to inconsistent and contradictory decisions on the constitutionality of 10 Commandment monuments and cross monuments like the “Peace Cross.”

Justice Gorsuch, joined in a concurrence with Justice Thomas, stated, “It’s time to let Lemon lie in its grave.”

Justice Gorsuch continued, “How did the city get it so wrong? To be fair, at least some of the blame belongs here and traces back to Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U. S. 602 (1971). Issued during a “‘bygone era’” when this Court took a more freewheeling approach to interpreting legal texts, Food Marketing Institute v. Argus Leader Media, 588 U. S. ___, ___ (2019) (slip op., at 8), Lemon sought to devise a one-size-fits-all test for resolving Establishment Clause disputes. That project bypassed any inquiry into the Clause’s original meaning. It ignored longstanding precedents. And instead of bringing clarity to the area, Lemon produced only chaos. In time, this Court came to recognize these problems, abandoned Lemon, and returned to a more humble jurisprudence centered on the Constitution’s original meaning. Yet in this case, the city chose to follow Lemon anyway. It proved a costly decision, and Boston’s travails supply a cautionary tale for other localities and lower courts. The only sure thing Lemon yielded was new business for lawyers and judges.”

“Ultimately, Lemon devolved into a kind of children’s game. Start with a Christmas scene, a menorah, or a flag. Then pick your own “reasonable observer” avatar. In this game, the avatar’s default settings are lazy, uninformed about history, and not particularly inclined to legal research. His default mood is irritable. To play, expose your avatar to the display and ask for his reaction. How does he feel about it? Mind you: Don’t ask him whether the proposed display actually amounts to an establishment of religion. Just ask him if he feels it “endorses” religion. If so, game over,” wrote Gorsuch.

In his concurrence, Justice Kavanaugh wrote, “A government violates the Constitution when (as here) it excludes religious persons, organizations, or speech because of religion from public programs, benefits, facilities, and the like.”

In his concurrence, Justice Alito wrote, “I agree with the Court’s conclusion that Boston (hereafter City) violated the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of speech when it rejected Camp Constitution’s application to fly what it characterized as a “Christian flag.” But I cannot go along with the Court’s decision to analyze this case in terms of the triad of factors—history, the public’s perception of who is speaking, and the extent to which the government has exercised control over speech—that our decision in Walker v. Texas Div., Sons of Confederate Veterans, Inc., 576 U. S. 200 (2015), derived from Pleasant Grove City v. Summum, 555 U. S. 460 (2009). See ante, at 6–12. As the Court now recognizes, those cases did not set forth a test that always and everywhere applies when the government claims that its actions are immune to First Amendment challenge under the government-speech doctrine. And treating those factors as a test obscures the real question in government-speech cases: whether the government is speaking instead of regulating private expression.”

Justice Alito continued, “But courts must be very careful when a government claims that speech by one or more private speakers is actually government speech. When that occurs, it can be difficult to tell whether the government is using the doctrine “as a subterfuge for favoring certain private speakers over others based on viewpoint,” id., at 473, and the government-speech doctrine becomes “susceptible to dangerous misuse….To prevent the government-speech doctrine from being used as a cover for censorship, courts must focus on the identity of the speaker. The ultimate question is whether the government is actually expressing its own views or the real speaker is a private party and the government is surreptitiously engaged in the “regulation of private speech.” Summum, 555 U. S., at 467…. Consider first “the extent to which the government has actively shaped or controlled the expression.” Ante, at 6. Government control over speech is relevant to speaker identity in that speech by a private individual or group cannot constitute government speech if the government does not attempt to control the message. But control is also an essential element of censorship.”

Liberty Counsel’s Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “This 9-0 decision from the Supreme Court strikes a victory for private speech in a public forum. This case is so much more significant than a flag. Boston openly discriminated against viewpoints it disfavored when it opened the flagpoles to all applicants and then excluded Christian viewpoints. Government cannot censor religious viewpoints under the guise of government speech.”

Happy Birthday Illuminati Founded May 1, 1776 Bavaria, Germany

Published May 2, 2022 | By Hal Shurtleff

May 1, marks the anniversary of the founding of the Illuminati.  While some historians believe that the organization ended after it was banned in Bavaria in 1784, other historians believe that it went underground, was responsible for the French Revolution, that its second-generation members founded the Skull and Bones, and commissioned Karl Marx to write The Communist Manifesto.  While it is unlikely that the original organization exists today, its ideological heirs have carried on its mission to destroy Christianity and create a one-world government. We know that they will ultimately fail but they have wreaked much havoc and misery over the past years and continue to do so.

There have been several books published in the early days of the Illuminati’s existence including Proofs of a Conspiracy, Memoirs of Jacobinism and Proof of the Illuminati.   Rev. G.W. Snyder sent a copy of Proofs of a Conspiracy to George Washington who replied:

“It was not my intention to doubt that the Doctrines of the Illuminati, and principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more fully satisfied of this fact than I am.”

Several years ago, while our annual family camp was in session, we took a field trip to the Rindge, NH Historical Society where I found copies of Proof of the Illuminati for sale.  When I asked  Karla MacLeod, the  museum’s president, why this book was at the museum, she informed me that the author Rev. Seth Payson was the pastor of the Congregational Church.  He wrote the book in 1802, and it was the basis for his successful campaign for  state senate.  Camp Constitution Press reprinted the book.  A free PDF version is available here:  https://campconstitution.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Proof-of-the-Illuminati-by-Rev-Seth-Payson.pdf

NO SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE IN WORCESTER, MA

Published May 1, 2022 | By Hal Shurtleff

This is from our friends at the Catholic Action League.  We believe that if the U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor in our case Shurtleff v Boston,      https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/shurtleff-v-boston/ the City of Worcester and other cities run by far-leftists, would cease this activity.  We salute Bishop McManus and the folks at the Catholic Action League for standing up to those who are working to destroy the soul of our nation.

 

NO SEPARATION OF CHURCH
AND STATE IN WORCESTER
The recent call by the Bishop of Worcester, asking a Catholic school in his diocese to forgo symbols inconsistent with their Catholic identity, has now resulted in an intervention by a municipal agency.

On April 3rd, Bishop Robert J. McManus issued a public statement questioning the display of homosexual pride flags and Black Lives Matter banners at Worcester’s Nativity School, a middle school affiliated with the USA East Province of the Society of Jesus.

The Bishop asked “Is school committing itself to ideologies which are contrary to Catholic teaching? If so, is it still a Catholic school? As the Bishop of this diocese, I must teach that it is imperative that a Catholic School use imagery and symbols which are reflective of that school’s values and principles so as to be clear with young people who are being spiritually and morally formed for the future.”

The Bishop’s due diligence in trying to preserve the Catholic character of a Catholic school was met with a firestorm in the media, defiance from the school, criticism from the state Attorney General, unsolicited advice from the NAACP, and a petition at the Jesuit administered College of the Holy Cross denouncing him as “ignorant and bigoted.”                                

Now, a dispute between a Catholic bishop and a Catholic school has become an object of concern by a government entity. The Worcester Human Rights Commission, an executive agency of the City of Worcester, whose members are appointed by the City Manager, has decided to involve itself in this matter.

In an online meeting earlier this month, the Commission voted to ask the city to raise the homosexual pride flag at Worcester City Hall to support the school’s resistance to the bishop. Commission member Ellen Shemitz said “Even given what’s happening with some of the news from the Catholic Church, and how that impacts some of the schools in this region, it seems like it could be timely.”

The Catholic Action League called the Commission’s interference “an unheard of, unprecedented, and unconstitutional intrusion by a government bureaucracy into an issue of church doctrine.”

Catholic Action League  Executive Director C. J. Doyle made the following comment: “For generations, the political Left has never missed an opportunity to lecture Catholics about the separation of church and state. Now, a city agency takes sides in a church dispute, and the same civil liberties crowd which sees school bus transportation for Catholic school students as a threat to the Constitution, is silent.”

“The Attorney General of the Commonwealth, Maura Healey, has inserted herself into this controversy, saying ‘Nativity and other schools should be allowed to fly those flags,’ adding ‘…I speak as a Catholic…’ Healey, of course, is a partnered lesbian who once confessed she owed her electoral success to Planned Parenthood.“

“What is happening here is a crude, unconcealed, and heavy handed campaign of intimidation. If the media, the government, and powerful interest groups can combine to expose a Catholic bishop to universal reprobation, for exercising his lawful authority in his own diocese, then freedom of religion becomes, at some point, academic.”

“The anti-Catholic Left has power and is willing to use it, and has totalitarian instincts, and is willing to act upon them. Catholics must relearn what our immigrant ancestors understood, but what modern generations of Catholics have forgotten—that anti-Catholic bigotry is a reality in American society, and Catholics must be courageous in resisting it.”

On April 27th, C.J. Doyle appeared on Greg Kelly Reports on NEWSMAX TV, defending Bishop Robert McManus.
