Publisher's summary

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 20th 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, 19 other locales scored higher than US students.
  • In science, 22 education systems scored above the US.
  • 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.

Too Important Not to Read

From July 1989-December 2021, I taught high
School music. All by three of those years were in California public schools. I felt like a frog in boiling water. I was experiencing a death by a thousand cuts. I now have a resource to help me understand the feeling I was being left behind in the “government” school system. It is not a public school system. When you read this book, you will see how the “government” school system is changing our nation to one we will not recognize.

For our nation to have a chance not to be the next socialist / Marxist nation, a nation that does not believe in the individual, but the collective, please read this book.

An answers and solutions book

Authors explains why and how our systemic failing public schools. Our district high school average reading proficiency is 21% and math 14%. Arizona public schools are ranked nation's 46th. When informed conservatives get elected to the school board we hope to implement solutions Mr. Blumenfeld and Newman have recommended.

Must read

This book is a must for everyone.
The authors make the connection from the history of education, reading methods, learning disabilities, the dumbing down of America/illiteracy, the leadership in our country and around the world, and the need to pay attention and rise up. The information is heavily researched and logically presented. They give hope for homeschoolers and others to implement phonetic reading and critical thinking.
If you want to know why our country is where it is today and where we are quickly headed, you will benefit greatly from this book.

Exposing the Government Schools

As someone who was homeschooled in the '80s and 90s, long before it was popular, I saw and continue to see, firsthand, the destructive effects of the government education system. This book exposes why the schools have failed so many.

Wow This book is fantastic

Every parent with kids should be required to read this book. Do you have to teach your kids phonics at home before you send them to school. What a great book!

A Must Read for anyone who cares about education and our country

This is a must read. It gives great insight into how we got to this abysmal place, and how we can correct it.
A few things I wish the author would have gone about differently: I would love to be able to get more people to read it, but because the author goes so hard after anyone who is secular, that will be a big turnoff for many.
The author should have also made more of an effort to distinguish between the everyday teacher who generally has no idea of the nefarious agenda and isn’t part of it.
