Synopsis

Utopian dictators like Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Mao are criminals – genocidal psychopaths who have killed more human beings in the last hundred years than any other ideologues in history. They don't limit their murder to individuals, but to entire nations.

In the United States another form of utopians, the "progressives," have tried to destroy traditional America by strategically dumbing down her people. America's future is being crippled on purpose in order to fundamentally transform the nation, its values, and its system of government. Laid out a century ago by progressive luminary John Dewey, the fruits of his schemes are plain to see today. Dewey got rid of the traditional intensive phonics method of instruction and imposed a "look-say," "sight," or "whole-word" method that forces children to read English as if it were Chinese. The method is widely used in today's public schools, which is a major reason there are so many failing public schools that cannot teach children the basics. This can only be considered a blatant form of child abuse.

American author and veteran educator Samuel Blumenfeld and journalist Alex Newman have taken on the public education establishment as never before and exposed it for the de facto criminal enterprise it is.

Crimes of the Educators reveals how the architects of America's public school disaster implemented a plan to socialize the United States by knowingly and willingly dumbing down the population, a mission closer to success than ever as the Obama administration works relentlessly to nationalize K-12 schooling with Common Core.

The whole-word method of teaching children to read – introduced by John Dewey and colleagues in the early twentieth century and which permeates Common Core – is a significant cause of dyslexia among students. Public education's war against religion, the "great American math disaster," promotion of death education, and the government's plan to lower standards for all so "no one is left behind" is destroying the logic, reasoning, and overall educational prowess of America's next generation.

According to the Program for International Student Assessment, which collects test results from 65 countries for its rankings.

• In reading, students in 19 other locales scored higher than U.S. students
• In science, 22 education systems scored above the U.S.
• In mathematics, 29 nations and other jurisdictions outperformed the United States

Journalist Henry Mencken said it best in 1924 when he wrote that the aim of public education is "to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality."

It is time to hold the Department of Education accountable for the crimes of the educators.

Review

"One does not need agree with Samuel Blumenfield and Alex Newman on everything to agree that Crimes of the Educators makes a compelling case that America’s public education system must undergo radical change if future generations are to have any chance of living in a free and prosperous country." — Ron Paul, former Congressman and Presidential candidate

"The very title of this book, Crimes of the Educators, indicates that its authors don’t dwell merely on the dismal product of America’s government-led education system. Blumenfeld and Newman show that planning for the abysmal failure was created more than a century ago. These two superb researchers don’t lament only what has occurred, as lamentable as the product of government schooling has become. They expose the plan, name its planners, and then provide solid recommendations for reversing America’s educational catastrophe." — John F. McManus, President, The John Birch Society

"This chilling exposé reveals that from John Dewey to Bill Gates the progressive utopians continue their long march through our nation’s K-12 public schools. Their end goal? A dumbed-down America where phonics, patriotism, and even the Almighty take a back seat to creating a collectivist society of passive proletariats." — Isabel Lyman, author of The Homeschooling Revolution

"Crimes of the Educators by Samuel Blumenfeld and Alex Newman is must reading for every parent. The failure to teach children to read in the first grade means that they fall farther behind with each passing year and become bored and resentful of school. The title of this book used the word “crimes” and that is not too strong a word to describe what has been done to American children." — Phyllis Schlafly, president of Eagle Forum and author of twenty-two books

"Crimes of Educators presents the culmination of over four decades of research into the causes for the decline of education in America. Blumenfeld and Newman have utterly exposed those most responsible for improving education and explain how they have purposefully pursued educational policies and teacher training methods that have contributed significantly to its decline. Beyond painting a dark picture of the educational landscape and identifying the perpetrators, they give practical recommendations for restoring excellence in education." — Donald Potter, lifelong educator and editor of First Readers Anthology

"We all have markers in our political growth, milestones we remember our whole lives. One such milestone for me was reading Sam Blumenfeld’s NEA: Trojan Horse in American Education. A true pioneer in educational reform – and now joined by Alex Newman – Sam has done it again with Crimes of the Educators. The timing couldn’t be better. If one book can tear down the liberal wall against school choice, this will be it." — Bob Just, family activist, WND columnist, and veteran national talk show host

"Sam Blumenfeld and Alex Newman have launched a counter-Fabian American Revolution in education with this book as they meticulously document the agenda of Dewey and his progressives and demonstrate how Dewey and his change-agents shifted education from a modality that taught how to think critically into one of behaviorism and collectivism. Parents, students, teachers and taxpaying Americans will be shocked by the findings in this book. All the pieces of the puzzle fall together as Crimes of the Educators demonstrates exactly why our education system seems so disjointed and detrimental to the development of our students. Blumenfeld writes about how Dewey and his ilk considered phonetic reading to be a “fetish” and how their pictographs have directly caused illiteracy, dyslexia, ADD, and a host of other social ills. This should be required reading for all Americans who care about the future of their children and of the country." — Chuck Morse, author of The War Against Judaism
