-Caveat Lector-
I wish I could take credit for writing the following, but it was written by
someone else. Although it was written in response to another problem, the
following indicates one of the reasons for the zero tolerance trend in the
schools. Parents should be aware of the book Education in the New Age by
Alice Bailey to understand what is happening in their children's schools.
Treating one's fellow man with respect should be a result of knowledge and
thinking for oneself and not a result of forced conformity, repression and
groupthink.
"I think the key statement here is psychological training, which has
effectively
replaced academic specialization in teacher training. This goes back to the
New
Age conspiracy, which was labeled the "Aquarian Conspiracy" by author Marylin
Ferguson in 1981. Please note that the official vehicle for the new age
movement, Theosophy, was founded over a hundred years before Ferguson's
blockbuster book was published.
As of the late forties, theosophical medium Alice Bailey of Lucis Trust
predicted that the education of the new age would be characterized by
teachers trained as
psychological facilitators for globalism and political correctness, rather
than
specialists in certain fields of knowledge.
"The general trend of his education will be more psychological than in the
past
and the information thus gained will be geared to his peculiar situation. All
children have certain assets and should be taught how to use them; these they
share with the whole of humanity, irrespective of race or nationality."
Education in the New Age

"The errors and mistakes of the past techniques are obvious but there is no
need
to waste time in emphasizing them or in piling up instances. What is needed
is a
realization of the immediate opportunity, plus the recognition that the
required
shift in objectives and change in methods will take much time. We shall have
to
train our teachers differently and much time will be lost as we grope for the
new and better ways, develop the new textbooks and find the men and women who
can be impressed with the new vision and who will work for the new
civilization.
I have sought only to emphasize principles and I do this with the recognition
that many of them are by no means new but that they require new emphasis. I
have
endeavored to show that now is the day of opportunity, for everything has to
be
built up again, for everything has been destroyed in the greater part of the
world. The war has demonstrated that we have not taught aright. A better
educational system should, therefore, be worked out which will present the
possibilities of human living in such a manner that barriers will be broken
down, prejudices removed and a training given to the developing child which
will
enable him, when grownup, to live with other men in harmony and goodwill. This
can be done, if patience and understanding are developed and if educators
realize that "where there is no vision, the people perish."
"An international system of education, developed in joint conference by
broadminded teachers and educational authorities in every country, is today a
crying need and would provide a major asset in preserving world peace. Steps
towards this are already being taken and today groups of educators are getting
together and discussing the formation of a better system which will guarantee
that the children of the different nations (beginning with the millions of
children now demanding education) will be taught truth, without bias or
prejudice. World democracy will take form when men everywhere are regarded in
reality as equal; when boys [88] and girls are taught that it does not matter
whether a man is an Asiatic, an American, a European, British, a Jew or a
Gentile but only that each has an historical background and history which
enables him to contribute something to the good of the whole, and that the
major
requirement is an attitude of goodwill and a constant effort to foster right
human relations. World Unity will be a fact when the children of the world are
taught that religious differences are largely a matter of birth; that if a man
is born in Italy, the probability is that he will be a Roman Catholic; if he
is
born a Jew, he will follow the Jewish teaching; if born in Asia, he may be a
Mohammedan, a Buddhist, or belong to one of the Hindu sects; if born in other
countries, he may be a Protestant and so on. He will learn that the religious
differences are largely the result of man made quarrels over human
interpretations of truth. Thus gradually, our quarrels and differences will be
offset and the idea of the One Humanity will take their place."
"Much greater care will have to be given in picking and training the teachers
of
the future. Their mental attainments and their knowledge of their particular
subject will be of importance, but more important still will be the need for
them to be free from prejudice and to see all men as members of a great
family.
The educator of the future will need to be more of a trained psychologist than
he is today. Besides imparting academic knowledge, he will realize that his
major task is to evoke out of his class of students a real sense of
responsibility; no matter what he has to teach - history, geography,
mathematics, languages, science in its various branches or philosophy - he
will
relate it all to the Science of Right Human Relations and try to give a truer
perspective than in the past upon social organization."

Just read on to some of Bailey's other 24 books, such as The Externalization
of the Hierarchy, or Discipleship in the New Age, or The Reappearance of the
Christ."
