‘Grok contributor Ann Marie appeared on the most recent Capitol Access TV program to discuss the International Baccalaureate Programme being foisted on hapless students in some government schools.

Great job, Ann Marie!

This is how our friend Jane, a retired schoolteacher described IB in a prior post on the subject

“These are politically motivated programs devised by the United Nations and centered out of Geneva, Switzerland, geared more toward the acclimation of students as early as the age of 3 into the role of ‘global citizens’ subject to the rules of ‘global government’ as laid out by UN documents such as the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, Earth Charter, and Agenda 21.”

“Like the Goals 2000 and the No Child Left Behind Act before it, IB schools attempt to instill an early acceptance of these UN ‘world government’ standards and defies local control. These teachings about governmental loyalties are directly contrary to our US Constitutional government and our country’s national sovereignty. These programs seem more about restructuring society and changing attitudes, than educating, and their founders are very up front about it. Even the tests children take would be graded in Geneva.”

And of course, Ann Marie has written about it in several posts as well. In this recent piece, she notes,

While this program doesn’t sell itself as a political indoctrination program for your children, that is exactly what it intends for the students who participate.  Click here to read exactly how the IBO plans on carrying out some of the UNESCO agenda through the IB program.
