Creating Anarchists In The Classroom.
(Personal note.)

by
Dean Gotcher

"The school must make room for the deviant student." "This person will be able to discriminate among values and to deviate from the moral status quo." "How such persons can be discovered, and, above all, how such persons can be produced in greater number is the major problem for research in character formation." (Robert Havighurst and Hilda Taba, Adolescent Character and Personality)

"The personal conscience is the key element in ensuring self-control, refraining from deviant behavior even when it can be easily perpetrated." "The family, the next most important unit affecting social control, is obviously instrumental in the initial formation of the conscience and in the continued reinforcement of the values that encourage law abiding behavior." (Dr. Robert Trojanowicz, The meaning of "Community" in Community Policing)

"The guilty conscience is formed in childhood by the incorporation of the parents and the wish to be father of oneself." "What we call 'conscience' perpetuates inside of us our bondage to past objects now part of ourselves:'" (Brown, Life Against Death)

"Authoritarian submission [humbling, denying, dying to, controlling, disciplining "self" in order to do the father's/Father's will] was conceived of as a very general attitude that would be evoked in relation to a variety of authority figures—parents, older people, leaders, supernatural power, and so forth." "God is conceived more directly after a parental image and thus as a source of support and as a guiding and sometimes punishing authority." "Submission to authority, desire for a strong leader, subservience of the individual to the state [parental authority, local control, Nationalism], and so forth, have so frequently and, as it seems to us, correctly, been set forth as important aspects of the Nazi creed that a search for correlates of prejudice had naturally to take these attitudes into account." "The power-relationship between the parents, the domination of the subject's family by the father or by the mother, and their relative dominance in specific areas of life also seemed of importance for our problem [how to 'liberate' children from parental authority, man from God's authority, mankind from Nationalism aka Fascism, etc., so they can be their "self," i.e., "actualize" their "self," no longer seeing their "self" as being subject to a higher authority other then to their carnal desires of the 'moment']." (Adorno) The error in Adorno's 'logic' is all forms of socialism, including fascism must negate the father's/Father's authority, i.e., individualism under God, in order to initiate and sustain themselves.

"In Escape from Freedom, Fromm offered the sado-masochistic character as the core of the authoritarian personality." "The antithesis of the 'authoritarian' type was called 'revolutionary.'" ["Revolutionary" means overthrowing the father's/Father's authority] "By The Authoritarian Personality 'revolutionary' had changed to the 'democratic.'" (Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination)

"We are proud that in his conduct of life man has become free from external authorities, which tell him what to do and what not to do." "Both the sadistic and the masochistic trends are caused by the inability of the isolated individual to stand alone and his need for a symbiotic relationship [some external authority over him] to overcome this aloneness." [Fromm believed that man could] "not take the last logical step, to give up 'God' and to establish a concept of man as a being who is alone in the world, but who can feel at home in it if he achieves union with his fellow man and with nature." "All that matters is that the opportunity for genuine activity be restored to the individual; that the purposes of society and of his own become identical." (Erick Fromm, Escape from Freedom)

"[We] must develop persons who see non-influencability of private convictions [those people holding onto right-wrong thinking, i.e., doing right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., sustaining the father's/Father's authority] in joint deliberations [in the facilitated, consensus, "relationship building," "feelings" based meeting] as a vice rather than a virtue [as being "negative," i.e., the problem instead of "positive," i.e., contributing to the solution—the solution being the negation of right-wrong, judgmental thinking]." ( Benne, Curriculum Change)

"It is not individualism [the child having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline his "self" in order to do right and not wrong according to the father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth, having to stand alone against "the group" when they are doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., "lusting"] that fulfills the individual, on the contrary it destroys him [makes him "neurotic"—caught between doing the father's/Father's will and doing his own will instead, when his will, i.e., his carnal desires ("lusts") of the 'moment,' and his father's/Father's will, i.e., doing right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth are in conflict with one another]. Society ["human relationship based upon self interest," i.e., "building relationship" with others, based upon the child's carnal desires, i.e., one's "self interest," i.e., finding one's identity, i.e., "self" in the other, i.e., in "the group," i.e., in society] is the necessary framework through which freedom [from the father's/Father's authority] and individuality [to be "of and for self" and the world only] are made realities." (Karl Marx, in John Lewis, The Life and Teachings of Karl Marx)

"Once the earthly family [with children having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline their "self" in order (as in "old" world order) to do the father's will, i.e., in order to do right and not wrong according to the father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth] is discovered to be the secret of the Holy family [with the Son humbling, denying, dying to, controlling, disciplining his "self" in order to do the Father's will, i.e., in order to do right and not wrong according to the Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth], the former [the earthly father's authority, i.e., the system itself with children having to trust in (have faith in) and obey the father (their parents), their teacher, the laws of the land, etc.,] must then itself be destroyed [vernichtet, i.e., annihilated, i.e., negated] in theory and in practice [in the children's thoughts as well as in their actions—resulting in children no longer "fellowshipping" with one another based upon the father's/Father's (their parents/God's) commands, rules, facts, and truth but, through dialogue, "building relationship" with one another based upon their carnal nature, i.e., their carnal desires, i.e., their "self interests," i.e., their "lusts" of the 'moment,' 'creating' a "new" world order of "lawfulness without law," i.e., "lawlessness" where the child's carnal nature rules without parental restraint]." (Karl Marx, Feuerbach Thesis #4)

The real nature of man is the totality of social relations." (Karl Marx, Thesis on Feuerbach #6)

"As the Frankfurt School [Theodor Adorno, Erich Fromm, etc., including Kurt Lewin who edited their newspaper] wrestled with how to 'reinvigorate Marx', they 'found the missing link in Freud.'" (Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination: A History of the Frankfurt School and the Institute of Social Research, 1923-1950)

Sigmund Freud believed "the individual is emancipated in the social group." "Freud speaks of religion as a 'substitute-gratification'—the Freudian analogue to the Marxian formula, 'opiate of the people.'" "Freud commented that only through the solidarity of all the participants could the sense of guilt [the guilty conscience for disobeying the father/Father] be assuaged." (Brown, Life Against Death)

"According to Freud, the ultimate essence of our being is erotic, and demands activity according to the pleasure-principle [the child's carnal nature]. The foundation on which the man of the future will be built is already there, in the repressed unconscious [in the child's carnal nature, i.e., in his desire for the pleasures of the 'moment' which the world stimulates and his dissatisfaction with restraint, i.e., the father's/Father's authority]; the foundation has to be recovered [through dialogue, i.e., by putting the child's carnal nature into practice, i.e., into social action (praxis)]." "Eros is fundamentally a desire for union with objects in the world." "Eros is the foundation of morality."(Brown, Life Against Death)

"'It is not really a decisive matter whether one has killed one's father or abstained from the deed,' if the function of the conflict and its consequences are the same [the father/parents no longer exercises his/their authority over the family/their children]." "... the hatred against patriarchal suppression—a 'barrier to incest,' ... the desire (for the sons) to return to the mother culminates in the rebellion of the exiled sons, the collective killing and devouring of the father." (Sigmund Freud in Herbert Marcuse, Eros and Civilization: a psychological inquiry into Freud)

"Third-Force psychology is also epi-Marxian in these senses, i.e., including the most basic scheme as true-good social conditions [an environment void of the father's/Father's authority where children can "actualize" their "self" without fear of judgment or condemnation] are necessary for personal growth, bad social conditions [where children have to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline their "self" in order to do the father's/Father's aka their parents will] stunt human nature,... This is to say, one could reinterpret Marx into a self-actualization-fostering Third- and Fourth-Force psychology-philosophy. And my impression is anyway that this is the direction in which they are going now." "The whole discussion becomes species-wide, One World." "This is a realistic combination of the Marxian version & the Humanistic. (Better add to definition of "humanistic" that it also means one species, One World.)" (Maslow, Journals)

"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." 1 John 2:16

What do all men, women, and children have in common? "The lust of the flesh," "the lust of the eyes," and "the pride of life," i.e., that which is "of the world."

"To enjoy the present reconciles us to the actual." (Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right')

"Self-perfection of the human individual is fulfilled in union with the world in pleasure." (Brown, Life Against Death)

In other words, according to Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, et al., "Lust reconciles us to the world."

"Sense experience must be the basis of all science." "Science is only genuine science when it proceeds from sense experience, in the two forms of sense perception and sensuous need, that is, only when it proceeds from Nature." (Karl Marx, MEGA I/3)

"Experience is, for me, the highest authority." "Neither the Bible nor the prophets, neither the revelations of God can take precedence over my own direct experience." (Carl Rogers, on becoming a person: A Therapist View of Psychotherapy)

In other words, according to Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, et al., "human nature," i.e., "the lust of the flesh," "the lust of the eyes," and "the pride of life" must be the basis of all "science." "Science" is only actual when it proceeds from "human nature," in the two forms of "the lust of the eyes," i.e., "sense perception" and "the lust of the flesh," i.e., "sensuous need," i.e., only when it proceeds from "the world," i.e., from "Nature." In other words "self," i.e., "the lust of the flesh," "the lust of the eyes," and "the pride of life," i.e., "self interest" can not become "actualized" until all that is not of the world, i.e., not of the child's carnal nature, i.e., the father's/Father's authority is negated in the child's/man's thoughts and action.

"Self-actualizing people have to a large extent transcended the values of their culture [their parent's/God's authority aka the father's/Father's authority]. They are not so much merely Americans as they are world citizens, members of the human species first and foremost." (Maslow, Farther Reaches)

"I have found whenever I ran across authoritarian students that the best thing for me to do was to break their backs immediately." "The correct thing to do with authoritarians is to take them realistically for the bastards they are and then behave toward them as if they were bastards." (Abraham Maslow, Maslow on Management)

"... the attack on antieroticism, the Christian & Jewish foundations" ... "is absolutely right.." (Maslow, Journals)

"The family is one of these social forms which ... cannot be changed without change in the total social framework." (Max Horkheimer, Kritische Theori)

"Bypassing the traditional channels of top-down decision making, our objective centers upon transforming public opinion into an effective instrument of global politics." "Individual values must be measured by their contribution to common interests and ultimately to world interests transforming public consensus into one favorable to the emergence of a stable and humanistic world order." "Consensus is both a personal and a political step. It is a precondition of all future steps." (Ervin Laszlo, A Strategy for the Future: The Systems Approach to World Order)

Using dialogue to decide right from wrong behavior (instead of discussion which retains the father's/Father's authority), i.e., "bypassing the traditional channels of top-down decision making" 'changes' the child, the family, the neighborhood, the state, the nation, and the world. You can not arrive at a "consensus," i.e., "worldly peace and socialist harmony" without it.

"In an ordinary discussion people usually hold relatively fixed positions and argue in favour of their views as they try to convince others to change." (Bohm and Peat, Science, Order, and Creativity) Discussion is indicative of the father's/Father's authority, subject to established commands, rules, facts, and truth—deductive reasoning is reasoning from and through established commands, rules, facts, and truth (a priories).

"A dialogue is essentially a conversation between equals." "The spirit of dialogue, is in short, the ability to hold many points of view in suspension, along with a primary interest in the creation of common meaning." (ibid.) Dialogue is indicative of the child's carnal nature, loving pleasure and hating restraint, resenting (excluding) any command, rule, fact, or truth that gets in the way of his carnal desires of the 'moment,' something that we have in common with one another—inductive reasoning is 'reasoning' from and through "appropriate information," i.e., selecting, recognizing, and supporting (affirming) only that information that 'justifies' (guarantees) a person's "feelings," i.e., his carnal desires of the 'moment' and his perception of the situation, rejecting "inappropriate information," i.e., information (any established command, rule, fact, or truth) that gets in the way of his desired outcome. "Outcome Based Education" ("Goals 2000," "Common Core," etc., all being the same in method) is based upon this method of "learning" (curriculum), which is being used in the classroom today—replacing discussion, i.e., established commands, rules, facts, and truth with dialogue, i.e., the student's "feelings," i.e., his carnal desires of the 'moment'—when established commands, rules, facts, and truth (his parents standards) get in the way of his (and the classes) carnal desires, i.e., "self interests" of the 'moment.'

In a discussion you must suspend, as upon a cross your carnal desires, i.e., your "self," i.e., your "self interest" of the 'moment' in order to hear and receive (accept) an established command, rule, fact, or truth. In dialogue you must suspend, as upon a cross any command, rule, fact, or truth that gets in the way of, i.e., that inhibits or blocks dialogue, i.e., that prevents people from sharing their opinions (their "feelings") of the 'moment.' In the field of science where laws of nature have to be observable and repeatable (predictable), opinions or theories might be tossed around but it is only when they become absolute, according to the laws of nature which are already established (just not known by us until then).

Preaching, teaching, and discussing divides on right and wrong. Dialogue unites on common carnal desires.

Discussion, as is deductive reasoning is based upon objective truth, i.e., subject to commands, rules, facts, and truth external to a person carnal desires and dissatisfactions of the 'moment.' Dialogue, as is inductive reasoning is based upon subjective 'truth,' i.e., subject to a person's carnal desires and dissatisfactions of the 'moment.' When theories or opinions, i.e., "feelings," which are made manifest through dialogue are acted upon as an absolute, holding others accountable to them, it is not a law of nature we are talking about or holding to but a belief. Theories or opinions, treated as absolutes makes facts and truth subject to "feelings," i.e., subjective, making the "affective domain," i.e., the carnal nature of the child the standard from which to determine right from wrong. "Behavior science," which is based upon dialogue, i.e., "sensuous needs" and "sense perception," i.e., "sense experience" can only establish the child's carnal nature, which the world stimulates over and therefore against the father's/Father's authority, i.e., discussion, i.e., deductive reasoning, which gets in its way.

"The dialectical method was overthrown—the parts [the children] were prevented from finding their definition within the whole [within "the group"]."(György Lukács, History & Class Consciousness: What is Orthodox Marxism?) By keeping the father's/Father's authority system in the classroom the children were prevented from 'discovering' and uniting upon their common-ist nature.

"... the central problem is to change reality.… reality with its 'obedience to laws.'" (Lukács)

By "focusing upon the family," i.e., focusing upon human relationship in the home—through the use of dialogue making the children, the mother, and the father "equal"—the father's/Father's authority is negated. There is no father's/Father's authority in dialogue, i.e., in the language of human relationship, i.e., in humanism, i.e., in that which is only "of and for self" and the world, there is only the carnal nature of the child, i.e., "the lust of the flesh," "the lust of the eyes," and "the pride of life."

"The child, contrary to appearance, is the absolute, the rationality of the relationship; he is what is enduring and everlasting, the totality which produces itself once again as such [once he is 'liberated' from the father'/Father's authority to become as he was before the father's/Father's first command, rule, fact, or truth came into his life (separating him from his "self" and the world), of (and now for) "self" and the world only]." (Georg Hegel, System of Ethical Life)

By starting with "feelings," i.e., the child's carnal nature, i.e., the child's love of pleasure and hate of restraint, Georg Hegel made everyone "equal," negating the father's/Father's authority in the process. Sounding more like Karl Marx than Marx himself, who was not yet born, Hegel then wrote:

"On account of the absolute and natural oneness of the husband, the wife, and the child, where there is no antithesis [no "top-down," "right-wrong, "Mine, not yours" way of thinking and acting] of person to person or of subject to object, the surplus is not the property of one of them, since their indifference is not a formal or a legal one." (Georg Hegel, System of Ethical Life)

By bringing dialogue, i.e., the child's love of pleasure and hate of restraint, i.e., "human nature," i.e., "the lust of the flesh," "the lust of the eyes," and "the pride of life," i.e., "sensuous needs," "sense perception," and "sense experience," i.e., "behavior 'science'" into the classroom, making it the curriculum, the children are 'liberated' from their parent's authority. Whoever controls the child's method of education (curriculum), determines his paradigm, i.e., how he feels, thinks, and acts toward his "self," others, and the world, as well as how he responds to authority. By the "educator" 'changing' the classroom curriculum (the learning environment) from 1) preaching commands and rules to be obeyed as given, teaching facts and truth to be accepted as is, by faith, and discussing with the students any questions they might have regarding the commands, rules, facts, and truth being taught, at the teachers discretion, i.e., providing they deem it necessary, have time, the students are capable of understanding and are not questioning, challenging, defying, disregarding, attacking authority, 2) blessing or rewarding those students who obey and do things right, 3) chastening or correcting those students who do things wrong and/or disobey, so they might learn to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline their "self" in order to obey and/or do things right, and 4) casting out (expelling) those students who question, challenge, defy, disregard, attack authority (known as "old" school where the father's/Father's authority system, i.e., having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline your "self" in order, as in "old" world order to do right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts and truth was central to education) to where the students dialogue their opinions to a consensus (there is no father's/Father's authority in dialogue, opinions, or in the consensus process, there is only the student's carnal desires of the 'moment,' i.e., the student's "self interest" which the world/classroom environment stimulates, i.e., the "educator" manipulates) the students are 'liberated' from their parent's authority, not only in their thoughts but in their actions as well, with "the group's," i.e., the classroom's (and the "educator's") approval, i.e., affirmation. Instead of the educator basing right and wrong upon established commands, rules, facts, and truth being taught, the "educator" establishes right and wrong upon the child's carnal nature, i.e., upon the child's carnal desires and resentments ("feelings," i.e., "self interest") of the 'moment,' with right being pleasure and wrong being the missing out on pleasure (having to do right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., in order to do the parent's will instead). In order to 'liberate' children from their parent's authority, i.e., from the Patriarchal paradigm, i.e., from the father's/Father's authority system students must, behind closed doors, experience for themselves a "new" world order which is based upon their carnal nature, i.e., their carnal desires of the 'moment' which the world stimulates, talking about and doing things their parents would not approve of or allow if they knew. 'Change' in curriculum and therefore paradigm requires the "educator" to be trained in "force field analysis," how to "unfreeze, move, and refreeze" the students in the classroom, and how to utilize "group dynamics" in order to initiate and sustain 'change'—methods of manipulation parents are not aware of, much less know how to respond to (counter), i.e., 'liberate' ("deliver") their children from when they get home from school. ("What is missing in dialogue.")

"There are many stories of the conflict and tension that these new practices are producing between parents and children." (David Krathwohl, Benjamin S. Bloom, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives Book 2: Affective Domain)

"An examination of the role of education in the revolutionary processes in Hitlerian Germany and Soviet Russia demonstrates that a new controlling group can use the educational system to advantage to bringing about the changes it desires. This illustrates the effectiveness of the educational system in indoctrinating the youth with a desire for the type of society wanted by those in control. . . . To do this they must persist in the maintenance of a new system long enough for controlling interests to be thoroughly indoctrinated in the new social system." (Wilbur Brookover, A Sociology of Education)

"Without exception, [children/students] enter group therapy [the "group grade" classroom] with the history of a highly unsatisfactory experience in their first and most important group—their primary family [the traditional home with parents telling them what they can and can not do]." "What better way to help [the child/the student] recapture the past than to allow him to re-experience and reenact ancient feelings [resentment, hostility] toward parents in his current relationship to the therapist [the "educator," i.e., the facilitator of 'change]? The ["educator," i.e., facilitator of 'change'] is the living personification of all parental images [takes the place of the parent]. Group [facilitators] refuse to fill the traditional authority role: they do not lead in the ordinary manner, they do not provide answers and solutions [teach right from wrong], they urge the group [the children/the students] to explore and to employ its own resources [to dialogue their "feelings," i.e., their desires and dissatisfactions of the 'moment' in the "light" of the situation, i.e., their desire for group approval (affirmation)]. The group [the children/the students must] feel free to confront the ["educator," i.e., the facilitator of 'change'], who must not only permit, but encourage, such confrontation [rebellion and anarchy]. He [the child/the student] reenacts early family scripts in the group and, if therapy [brainwashing—washing from the child's/student's brain (thoughts) respect for and fear of the father's/Father's authority] is successful, is able to experiment with new behavior, to break free from the locked family role [submitting to the father's/Father's authority, i.e., doing the father's/Father's will] he once occupied. … the patient [the child/the student] changes the past by reconstituting it [called role-playing]." (Yalom)

"The child takes on the characteristic behavior of the group in which he is placed. . . . he reflects the behavior patterns [paradigm] which are set by the adult leader of the group." (Kurt Lewin in Wilbur Brookover, A Sociology of Education)

"Change in methods of leadership is probably the quickest way to bring about a change in the cultural atmosphere of a group." "Any real change of the culture [paradigm] of a group is, therefore, interwoven with the changes of the power constellation within the group." (Barker, Dembo, & Lewin, "frustration and regression: an experiment with young children" in Child Behavior and Development)

"Changing a group atmosphere from autocracy toward democracy through a democratic leadership means that the autocratic followers must shift toward a genuine acceptance of the role of democratic followers." "To change a group atmosphere toward democracy the democratic leader has to be in power and has to use his power for active re-education." "The more the group members become converted to democracy the more can the power of the democratic leader shift to other ends than converting the group members." (Benne, Curriculum Change)

"Concerning the changing of circumstances by men, the educator must himself be educated." (Karl Marx, Thesis on Feuerbach # 3)

"A change in the curriculum is a change in the people concerned—in teachers, in students, in parents ....." "Curriculum change means that the group involved must shift its approval from the old to some new set of reciprocal behavior patterns." "... people involved who were loyal to the older pattern [paradigm] must be helped to transfer their allegiance to the new." "Re-education aims to change the system of values and beliefs [paradigm] of an individual or a group." (Kenneth D. Benne, Human Relations in Curriculum Change)

"To create effectively a new set of attitudes and values [paradigm], the individual must undergo great reorganization of his personal beliefs and attitudes and he must be involved in an environment which in many ways is separated from the previous environment in which he was developed." "...many of these changes are produced by association with peers who have less authoritarian points of view, as well as through the impact of a great many courses of study in which the authoritarian pattern is in some ways brought into question while more rational and nonauthoritarian behaviors are emphasized." (David Krathwohl, Benjamin S. Bloom, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives Book 2: Affective Domain)

All "educators" are certified and schools accredited today based upon their use of what are called "Blooms' Taxonomies" in the classroom, incorporating through dialogue "the deviant student's" ideology (Marxism), i.e., the student's carnal desires of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the situation, i.e., the classroom environment (the student's desire for "group" approval and fear of "group" rejection—his "group grade" depends upon it, i.e., "group" approval) generates into the classroom curriculum, in the name of "tolerance." If you tolerate wrong, wrong becomes right, i.e., the "norm," making right wrong. "Relationships" based upon common "self interests," i.e., the student's carnal desires (likes/dislikes) of the 'moment,' which the classroom environment is stimulating negates his parent's authority in his thoughts and his actions, making "right" and "wrong" subject to his carnal desires of the 'moment,' which includes "the group's" approval (affirmation), negating right and wrong being determined by his parents, i.e., by established commands, rules, facts, and truth. Benjamin Bloom's "weltanschauung," i.e., world view (paradigm) was that of two "Transformational" Marxists (Theodor Adorno and Erich Fromm) who merged Marxism and psychology—making it easy to bring Marxism, i.e., hate of the father's/Father's authority into the classroom. One million of "Bloom's Taxonomies" were printed for the Communist Chinese education system back in 1971. (Benjamin Bloom, Forty Year Evaluation) Any teacher questioning/challenging/removing their use in American schools today (public, private, "Christian" schools; pre-school, grade school, high school, college/University, vocational, etc., school) would put their job, i.e., their employment in jeopardy. Benjamin Bloom admitted, forty years after the publication of his first "Taxonomy," Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Book 1, Cognitive Domain, "Certainly the Taxonomy was unproved at the time it was developed and may well be 'unprovable.'" (Benjamin Bloom, Forty Year Evaluation) In the second "Taxonomy," Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Book 2, Affective Domain Benjamin Bloom wrote: "Whether or not the classification scheme presented in Handbook I: Cognitive Domain is a true taxonomy is still far from clear."

"Bloom's Taxonomies" are "a psychological classification system" used "to develop attitudes and values ... which are not shaped by the parents." "Ordering" "different kinds of affective behavior," i.e., "the range of emotion(s)" "organized into value systems and philosophies of life." "It was the view of the group that educational objectives stated in the behavior form have their counterparts in the behavior of individuals, observable and describable therefore classifiable [true science is "observable and repeatable," i.e., objective, i.e., constant not "observable and describable," i.e., subject to an opinion, i.e., subject to 'change']." "Only those educational programs which can be specified in terms of intended student behaviors can be classified." "What we are classifying is the intended behavior of students—the ways in which individuals are to act, think, or feel as the result of participating in some unit of instruction." "The student must feel free to say he disliked _____ and not have to worry about being punished for his reaction." (Book 1, Cognitive Domain)

"Prior to therapy the person is prone to ask himself, 'What would my parents want me to do?' During the process of therapy the individual come to ask himself, 'What does it mean to me?'" (Rogers, on becoming a person) In this way, i.e. through therapy "self" is 'liberated' from the father's/Father's authority (system).

"The individual may have 'secret' thoughts ["lusts"] which he will under no circumstances reveal to anyone else if he can help it [out of fear of being judged, rejected, and/or punished]. To gain access [through getting him or her to dialogue, i.e., to share his or her "feelings," i.e., desires and dissatisfactions of the 'moment' with others] is particularly important, for here may lie the individual's potential [for 'change,' i.e., to become of and for his or her "self" and the world only'liberated' from the father's/Father's authority]." (Adorno)

"The heart is deceitful above all things [thinking pleasure is the standard for "good" instead of doing the father's/Father's will, i.e., having to set aside your carnal desires ("lusts") of the 'moment' that the world is stimulating, i.e., having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline your "self" in order (as in "old" world order) to do the father's/Father's will, i.e., in order to do right and not wrong according the father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth], and desperately wicked [hating the father's/Father's authority that "gets in the way," i.e. that prevents, i.e., inhibits or blocks you from enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates]: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9

You can not see your hate of restraint as being evil, i.e., "wicked" ("desperately wicked") because your love of pleasure, i.e., "lust," i.e., "self interest" (getting in the way) blinds you to it. Like a drug, pleasure (dopamine emancipation), i.e., "self interest," i.e., "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life," i.e., that which the world stimulates blinds you to your hatred toward restraint, i.e., hatred toward the father's/Father's authority, i.e., blinds you to your "wickedness" which is being expressed toward those who are preventing (or trying to prevent) you from having access to the drug, i.e., to pleasure (dopamine emancipation) when you are doing wrong, disobeying, sinning—making you not just wicked but "desperately wicked" in your effort to attain it, keep it, or get it back.

"The affective domain is, in retrospect, a virtual 'Pandora's Box' [a "box" full of evils, which once opened, can not be closed].' It is in this 'box' that the most influential controls are to be found." "In fact, a large part of what we call "good teaching" is the teacher's ability to attain affective objectives through challenging the student's fixed beliefs and getting them to discuss issues." (Book 2: Affective Domain)

"the superego 'unites in itself the influences of the present and of the past [the child's carnal nature, i.e., the child's "feelings," i.e., his or her love of pleasure and hate of restraint—experienced in the past as well as being experienced in the present].'" (Brown, Life Against Death)

"In the more traditional society a philosophy of life, a mode of conduct, is spelled out for its members at an early stage in their lives." "A major function of education in such a society is to achieve the internalization of this philosophy." "Superego development is conceived as the incorporation of the moral standards of society. Therefore the levels of the Taxonomy should describe successive levels of goal setting appropriate to superego development." (Book 2: Affective Domain)

"Part of the dialectics of the process of winning independence from parental authority lies in using the extrafamilial peer group as a foil to parental authority, particularly in the period of adolescence." (Bradford, Gibb, Benne, T-Group Theory and Laboratory Method: Innovation in Re-education)

"It is usually easier to change individuals formed into a group than to change any one of them separately." (Kurt Lewin in Kenneth Bennie, Human Relations in Curriculum Change) The dynamics of "the group" ("group dynamics"), i.e., the persons desire for "the groups" approval (affirming his carnal desires) has a direct effect upon his thinking and acting.

"In the dialogic relation of recognizing oneself in the other, they experience the common ground of their existence." (Jürgen Habermas, Knowledge & Human Interest, Chapter Three: The Idea of the Theory of Knowledge as Social Theory) It is in dialogue we discover our commonality with one another, i.e., our common "self interests" in each other, 'justifying' our "self," i.e., "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life," i.e., what which we have in common, i.e., that which is "of the world" only.

"…there is no more important issue than the interrelationship of the group members." "To question the value or activities of the group, would be to thrust himself into a state of dissonance [where the person is caught between his carnal desires ("feelings," i.e., "self interests") of the 'moment' and his belief (established commands, rules, facts, and truth)]." (Yalom)

"Few individuals, as Asch has shown, can maintain their objectivity [their belief, i.e., their faith in authority, be it in their parent's and/or God's authority] in the face of apparent group unanimity [especially when "the group" is excluding, i.e., rejecting the child because of his "ridged," i.e., "prejudiced," i.e., unadaptable to 'change' "negative" attitude, i.e., his holding onto his parents, i.e., the father's/Father's standards, i.e., preaching, teaching, and attempting to discuss commands, rules, facts, and truth to/with "the group" while "the group" is heading down the road, hand in hand enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the child desires himself, "enjoying" them without him, i.e., excluding (rejecting) him in the process for the way he is thinking and acting, i.e., for not joining with them, 'justifying' their (and his) carnal nature over and therefore against their (and his) parent's authority, i.e., the father's/Father's authority]." (Yalom)

"The individual accepts the new system of values and beliefs by accepting belongingness to the group." (Kurt Lewin in Kenneth Bennie, Human Relations in Curriculum Change)

The "educator" does not have to tell the students to question, challenge, defy, disregard, attack their parent's authority when they get home from school, if they were not doing that already (telling them would be "old school," maintaining the "old" world order of being told even if it was done for the 'purpose' of 'change,' i.e., for the 'purpose' of creating a "new" world order), all they have to do is use a curriculum in the classroom that "encourages," i.e., pressures (out of the students natural desire for approval from and fear of rejection by "the group") the students to participate in the process of 'change,' i.e., in the dialoguing of their opinions to a consensus process, i.e., 'justifying' their carnal nature ("lusts") over and therefore against their parents (the Father's) authority.

"And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." Luke 16:15

"The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil." Psalms 36:1-4

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." 2 Timothy 4:3, 4

Facilitators of 'change,' i.e., psychologists, i.e., behavioral "scientists," i.e., "group psychotherapists," i.e., Marxists (Transformational Marxists)—all being the same in method or formula—are using the dialoguing of opinions to a consensus (affirmation) process, i.e., dialectic 'reasoning' ('reasoning' from/through the students "feelings" of the 'moment,' i.e., from/through their "lust" for pleasure and their hate of restraint, in the "light" of their desire for group approval, i.e., affirmation and fear of group rejection) in the "group grade," "safe zone/space/place," "Don't be negative, be positive," soviet style, brainwashing (washing the father's/Father's authority from the children's thoughts and actions, i.e., "theory and practice," negating their having a guilty conscience, which the father's/father's authority engenders, for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning in the process—called "the negation of negation" since the father's/Father's authority and the guilty conscience, being negative to the child's carnal nature, is negated in dialogue—in dialogue, opinion, and the consensus process there is no father's/Father's authority), inductive 'reasoning' ('reasoning' from/through the students "feelings," i.e., their natural inclination to "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment'—dopamine emancipation—which the world stimulates, i.e., their "self interest," i.e., their "sense experience," selecting "appropriate information"—excluding, ignoring, or resisting, i.e., rejecting any "inappropriate" information, i.e., established command, rule, fact, or truth that gets in the way of their desired outcome, i.e., pleasure—in determining right from wrong behavior), "Bloom's Taxonomy," "affective domain," French Revolution (Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité) classroom "environment" in order (as in "new" world order) to 'liberate' children from parental authority, i.e., from the father's/Father's authority system (the Patriarchal Paradigm)—seducing, deceiving, and manipulating them as chickens, rats, and dogs, i.e., treating them as natural resource ("human resource") in order to convert them into 'liberals,' socialists, globalists, so they, 'justifying' their "self" before one another, can do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., "lust" with impunity.

"Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken." Jeremiah 6:16, 17

Home schooling material, co-ops, conferences, etc., are joining in the same praxis, fulfilling Immanuel Kant's as well as Georg Hegel's, Karl Marx's, and Sigmund Freud's agenda of using the pattern or method of Genesis 3:1-6, i.e., "self" 'justification,' i.e., dialectic (dialogue) 'reasoning," i.e., 'reasoning' from/through your "feelings," i.e., your carnal desires of the 'moment' which are being stimulated by the world (including your desire for approval from others, with them affirming your carnal nature) in order to negate Hebrews 12:5-11, i.e., the father's/Father's authority, i.e., having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline your "self" in order to do the father's/Father's will, negating Romans 7:14-25, i.e., your having a guilty conscience when you do wrong, disobey, sin, thereby negating your having to repent before the father/Father for your doing wrong, disobedience, sins—which is the real agenda.

"And for this cause [because men, as "children of disobedience," 'justify' their "self," i.e., 'justify' their love of "self" and the world, i.e., their love of the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) which the world stimulates over and therefore against the Father's authority] God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie [that pleasure is the standard for "good" instead of doing the Father's will]: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth [in the Father and in His Son, Jesus Christ], but had pleasure in unrighteousness [in their "self" and the pleasures of the 'moment,' which the world stimulates]." 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 12
