Dewey 'taught atheism, evolution, self autonomy, and socialist worldview'

....

For example, in one essay, LaHaye quotes Wilfred J. Hahn warning that the "New Age" of "Aquarius" was expected to eclipse the "Christian Age" around the year 2000. LaHaye then adds: "ecular humanists have long advocated a one-world government--which, of course, they feel that they alone are qualified to run. John Dewey is famous for destroying the learning process for millions of children and young people because he was more interested in teaching atheism, evolution, self autonomy, and a socialistic worldview instead of reading, writing, and math."

According to LaHaye, "the elitists who control our government-run educational system don't mind; they have prepared our nation's children to be members of the socialist world government which they are planning. Many of them don't realize that control of that government will be taken away from them and end up in the hands of the antichrist."

....

If this is too subtle, let me lay it on the line. LaHaye expects there is an upcoming huge battle between good and Godly Christians and the forces of evil working with Satan's chief End Times henchman, the antichrist.

So the outcome of Tim LaHaye's "non-fiction" writing, the Left Behind series of novels, and the video game, is the training of young Christian evangelicals to rebel against the elected government of the United States when they decide government leaders are in service to the antichrist. And the task for these young Crusaders is to gun down the agents of Satan and their witting and unwitting allies among the ranks of the non-believers.

And from the Left Behind novels, we know this list is likely to include not just secularists, but also homosexuals, feminists, abortion providers, as well as Jews, Catholics, Hindus, and Muslims...especially Muslims.

The title of the article is

The World According to Tim LaHaye: Chapter One
By Chip Berlet


The quoted passages are about 1/3 to 1/2 into the article.

2. I'm a secular humanist and I've never heard anyone propose a

'socialist world government'. Just like the crap LaHaye writes, isn't based on the ancient Christian religion.

5. Yes, Dewey was Satan's instrument, for sure!

"The most basic idea of John Dewey's with regard to education was that greater emphasis should be placed on the broadening of intellect and development of problem solving and critical thinking skills, rather than simply on the memorization of lessons." (Wikipedia)

Oh, yes! Those satanic problem-solving and critical thinking skills must absolutely be responsible "for destroying the learning process for millions of children and young people...."

:crazy:

LaHaye and his fucking idiot followers.... :eyes:

6. Most educators will tell you

that Dewey had it right. The rote memorization and testing route won over Dewey's approach perhaps to the detriment of education.

7. Yup.

Which, of course, is why the test-focused NCLB program is such a flaming "success."

:grr:

8. A socialist world government is a bad thing?

That would be my wildest dream (as long as it's democratic and decentalized)
