How the Frankfurt School Rules Modern Education

Posted on Friday, June 6, 2008 | 0 comments | Permalink |

For some time now, we at CollegePlus! have recognized that the foundation for the modern high school system originated in the minds of a small group of social engineers around the turn of the 19th century in association with famous Darwinian educator John Dewey. They changed the country's school system to produce men and women who were simply told what to think but not how to think.

Now, noted speaker and apologist Brannon Howse has spoken out against the "Frankfurt School," the German philosophy that Dewey was enthralled with and that forms the basis for much of the socialist tendencies inherent in today's school system. Howse interviewed two experts in this area: Dr. Gerald Atkinson, an expert on socialist philosophy, and Geoff Botkin, Christian movie producer and former Marxist now turned believer in Jesus Christ.

Here's how Brannon introduced each interview: Dr. Gerald Atkinson Brannon interviews Dr. Gerald Atkinson who is a retired Navy Commander. Topic: How the philosophies of the Frankfurt School are infiltrating the U.S. Click here to listen now.

Geoff Botkin Brannon interviews former Marxist Geoff Botkin on how "Cultural Marxism" came to America from Germany under the name of "political correctness" when the Frankfurt School leaders came to America in 1933. Mr. Botkin explains how as a Marxist he and his colleagues sought to deconstruct the American Western Culture, the American family and to destroy Christianity. Learn how the Frankfurt School leaders have accomplished much of their agenda and how Christians must respond to defend freedom of expression, religious freedom, parental authority the traditional family and our Constitutional Republic.
