The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 102
Curriculum and Goals 2000. OBE was developed by Benjamin Bloom and made famous by his
book Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Handbook II published in 1964. Bloom stated: “A
large part of what we call good teaching, is the teacher’s ability to attain effective objectives
through challenging the students’ fixed beliefs.” OBE has been used to not only challenge but to
alter students attitudes and “fixed beliefs.” OBE is one of the major causes for the dumbing
down of America. Where ever it has been implemented, student achievement has fallen. OBE's
first test was in Chicago, over the five year test period, students test scores plummeted.

Dr. Samuel L. Blumenfeld, writing for WorldNetDailey.com, writes that OBE is based
on New Age philosophies totally incompatible and in complete opposition to Christianity:
The answer is to be found in the New Age philosophy that was the moving
spirit behind OBE. Carol Belt, a former school board member in Englewood,
Colo., was chairman of a Strategic Planning committee in charge of drawing up
“vision statements” about the future. She writes: “As background material to help
with the process I received materials on globalism and books by 'futurists.' One of
those books was 'The Aquarian Conspiracy,' authored by Marilyn Ferguson. I was
told that it was the 'best reference' to the 'new curriculum' that was coming into
our school district. I read the book and decided if the 'future' that Marilyn
Ferguson was predicting was in fact going to become a reality, I wanted no part of
it. I discovered that this was the 'foundational book' of the 'New Age' movement.”
To help the teachers in Littleton become effective change agents, they
were required to attend training sessions given by the Strategic Options Initiative.
The trainees were requested to read the second, third, and ninth chapters of “The
Aquarian Conspiracy.”
Marilyn Ferguson writes in Chapter Nine, “You can only have a new
society, the visionaries have said, if you change the education of the younger
generation. Yet the new society itself is the necessary force for change in
education.... Of the Aquarian conspirators surveyed, more were involved in
education than in any other single category of work.... Tens of thousands of
classroom teachers, educational consultants and psychologists, counselors,
administrators, researchers, and faculty members engaged in colleges of education
have been among the millions engaged in personal transformation.”
In other words, American schools... have been completely paganized by
educators who have adopted the occult philosophy of the Aquarian Conspiracy. It
is a philosophy in conflict with Judeo-Christian teachings, and it is a philosophy
that opens the door to satanism. It is impossible for a member of the Aquarian
Conspiracy to be indifferent to Christianity. He or she must oppose it, for
Christianity is based on absolute biblical principles that condemn pagans. And
that is why the public educrats are so adamantly opposed to any acknowledgment
of the biblical God in the schools.
