(p.132). Following instructions to "deal with the whole problem of parenthood" (p.133)
through education, parental training programs are offered under OBE to bring the entire
family into NA education, under the label of "enlightened social engineering". This is not to
produce family harmony so much as to eradicate conflicts with home-taught values - conflicts
in which "the educational institution frequently comes under scrutiny and must pull back."
(Professor John Goodlad, member of the Governing Board of UNESCO's Institute for
Education. See "Guide to Getting Out Your Message," _National Education Goals Panel
Community Action Toolkit: A Do-It-Yourself Kit for Education Renewal_, p.6. Goodlad
repeats this comment in Foreword, _Schooling for a Global Age_, p.xiii.) Professor Goodlad,
who also served with Bill Clinton in the 1980s on the UNESCO Commission on Global
Education, warned colleagues that "most youth still hold the same values as their parents", a
situation which may cause society to "decay". ("Report of Task Force C: Strategies for
Change," _Schooling for the Future_, no.9, 1971) As for older family members, Number Five
of the Eight National Goals enshrined in "Goals 2000" not only specifies that OBE
performance be used to determine job placement after graduation, but suggests that the adult
workforce be required to undergo OBE training to continue to be employable.
4g. OBE Foot in the Door at Home: By the mid-1990s, at least one state (Ohio) made the
"parental educational or training program" compulsory in certain cases, with refusal to attend
constituting "parental education neglect" - not only a "misdemeanor" but theoretically
grounds for removing the children from the home. (See "Ohio Revised Code", 1996, Sec.
2919.222) Elsewhere, the PAT program (Parents As Teachers) was gradually introduced until
it became federal law under Goals 2000 (1994): In this framework, parents have the "right" to
teach their own children, provided that they fulfil the same "duties" expected of teachers. In
such a framework, social service workers can be authorized to inspect homes and rate parental
performance (not only in the context of home-schooling, but in general childraising and
values education) - with the option of removing "poorly taught" children. Likewise, parents
who refuse to accept social services in the PAT framework can be classified as having homes
with children "at risk". (see "Revised Risk Factors Form", Parents As Teachers National
Center, Inc.) The "Parental Rights and Responsibilities Act" of 1996, thought by many to
provide balance to this issue, merely reinforced the PAT concept, conditioning those "rights"
on the "responsibilities" redefined by the New Education. The National Assessment of
Educational Process (NAEP) test given to students every four years (grades 4, 8, 12) includes
both academic material and a survey about the child's home life and family habits, another
way of pinpointing "problem" families.
For the moment, privately run schools are still able to filter out a good bit of this
indoctrination. The majority of these are under the auspices of Christian or Jewish religious
institutions. But even parents of these children may not rest easy, especially the Jews. NA
"change agents" have penetrated Jewish life in other ways, as we will see in the next section.
