"Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to
consider well the end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus
m,
Christ, which is eternal life, and therefore to lay Christ in the botto
as the foundation of all sound knowledge and learning."
Harvard College Mission Statement, 1643
In January 1963, Democrat Congressman Albert S.
Herlong, Jr. read into the U.S. Congressional Record a list
of Communist goals for America. 1 The goals that pertain to
education are listed below. Note: bracketed comments added
by author.
• “Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in
the schools on the ground that it violates the principle
of ‘separation of church and state.’”
• “Discredit American culture. Discredit the family as an
institution. Encourage promiscuity and divorce.” [many
secular universities]
• “Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as
‘normal, natural, and healthy.’”
• “Infiltrate churches and replace revealed religion with
‘social’ religion.” [emergent church movement]
• “Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellec-
tual maturity which does not need a ‘religious crutch.’”
[called evolutionism]
• “Control schools. Use them as transmission belts for
socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften
the curriculum.”[called Common Core]
• “Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line
in textbooks.”
The question is, “How successful has the communist party
been in integrating their philosophy into the American
public school system?” To answer this question we only need
to observe what is being taught (or not taught) in our public
schools today.
Schools today
• disallow the singing of Christmas carols.
• disallow prayer.
• disallow the posting of the Ten Commandments.
• disallow the name of Jesus at athletic events or school
assemblies.
• disallow the teaching of a Creator God.
Schools today
• teach only one view of origins (evolutionism) and
censor all opposing views.
• teach abortion as an acceptable means of birth control.
• teach tolerance (acceptance of all views except biblical
Christianity).
• teach moral relevance (no right or wrong).
• promote gay rights (including same-sex marriage).
In 1959, Nikita Khrushchev (Premier of Russia from
1958 to 1964) stated: “Your children’s children will live under
communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t
accept Communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small
doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that
you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you;
we’ll so weaken your economy until you fall like overripe fruit
into our hands.”
Antonio Gramsci, Marxist and founder of Italian
Communist Party and author of Prison Notebooks (a strat-
egy for conquering America) said, “This [secular humanism]
could be done with a long march through the institutions by
infiltrating the schools, the churches, the universities, the law,
the arts, theater, music, the news media, the courts, television,
and the motion picture industry.”
