THE RAINBOW SWASTIKA
A REPORT TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE
ABOUT NEW AGE ANTISEMITISM
by Hannah Newman -- freeway@netvision.net.il
"We need change agents in charge of those schools,
not preservers of entrenched interests and encrusted practices."
(Vanderbilt University Professor Chester Finn, Jr.,
chief architect of "America 2000")
H. Education for the New Age
The above quote from Professor Chester Finn was published in 1991, in his article,
"Reinventing Local Control" (_Education Week_, Jan.23, 1991, p.40) Under the Bush (Sr.)
administration, Finn was given a mandate to "fix" American education; his efforts were seen
as successful enough to earn him the title, "The Wizard of Education" (name of article by
Thomas Toch, _US News and World Report_, Jul.15, 1991, p.46) While the choice of a
moniker associated with witchcraft may [or may not] have been unintentional, his call for
"change agents" is both deliberate and prophetic regarding the U.S. Department of
Education's endorsement of a major tool in laying the groundwork for the New Age. And if
Finn leaves any doubt as to which "encrusted" or obsolete practices were slated for "change",
we have only to survey the fruit of his efforts: "America 2000", later renamed "Goals 2000".
[Or simply see below.] This is merely the U.S. version of an education being promoted
worldwide. It is deeply religious in nature, as we will see - "separation of religion and state"
in America notwithstanding.
Alice Bailey wrote an entire volume on this subject: _Education in the New Age_. "What is
man; what is his intrinsic purpose in the scheme of things?" is the question she poses to
launch the NA child on his/her educational journey. It is a question asked repeatedly
throughout human history, yielding a rich variety of answers. Only now, there is to be one
answer only - the Right Answer. The Hierarchy's Answer. As for the traditional "3 R's", the
nuts and bolts of education, the Hierarchy named as one of the "goals" of the New Education:
"to give true meaning to 'reading, writing and arithmetic'" - that is, to perceive the "higher
realities" rather than to practice the basic academic skills; to recognize "the higher mind"
rather than discipline one's own mind through scholarship. (p.16) [If anyone has been puzzled
why OBE has adopted "creative literacy" (a spell-it as-you-feel system) and other subversive
unlearning tools which are making a hash of American academic standards, they need search
