Editorial Reviews:

America's educational system has been hijacked. Radio talk show legend Marlin Maddoux exposes the plots and methods used by the academic elite to capture the hearts, minds, and values of the next generation. Through the use of "political correctness" on college campuses, Moral Relativism in high school sex ed classes, brainwashing techniques starting in kindergarten, and much more, Maddoux reveals how public education has eroded the faith and values of American children in an ongoing effort to create a godless, humanistic society. Thoroughly researched and documented, this is one book that every taxpayer, parent, and college student must read.

"Marlin Maddoux was one of America's leading conservative voices. His insights into the heart and soul of America still ring true today. I highly recommend his book, Public Education Against America. He exposes the hidden agenda of secular bias against Christianity, morality, and decency in our public schools. Don't miss this flaming exposé. It will stir your heart to action." Dr. Jerry Falwell Founder and Chancellor Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA

"It takes courage to face your failures. In Public Education Against America, Marlin Maddoux bravely exposes the truth about American public education-it has failed. This book is a wake-up call for every concerned citizen. I pray that we all heed its call before it is too late." Josh McDowell Josh McDowell Ministries Author, Evidence That Demands A Verdict and More Than a Carpenter

"Well-researched and thoroughly documented, the prophetic voice of Marlin Maddoux is just what every concerned parent needs to hear. It's time to take back our children's education before it's too late. Our country's future may just depend on it." Don Wildmon Chairman, American Family Association

"It is my fervent prayer that every parent, every taxpayer, and every citizen concerned with the direction of this country will read this book and learn what really is going on inside America's public school system. I is only after we have been educated ourselves that we can stand and make a difference in the education of our children." Tim LaHaye Author, Left Behind series

"Martin Luther once warned, 'I am much afraid that schools will prove to be the great gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth.' Now comes a volume documenting modern rationale for Luther's fears. I am pleased to recommend this book by the late great Marlin Maddoux. He is gone, but not forgotten." Dr. D. James Kennedy President, Coral Ridge Ministries Sr. Pastor, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church

Summary: Right on the Money!!!
Comment: This book is right on the money. As a non-teaching individual who has a degree in secondary education, AND certification/teaching license to accompany that degree, I can personally attest to most everything in this book. There are some opinions in there that are the authors own...but thats to be expected--ITS HIS OWN BOOK! The facts, however, are well-documented and sources are adequately and abundantly supplied. It will really open the eyes of anyone even remotely considering the possibility something other than public school. And I'll throw this in for free....studies have shown that children who have not been "brought-up" in the public schools are actually more adept to handling themselves appropriately social situations....so don't use social skills as the only reason for sending a child to the public schools. (I keep two copies of this book at my home...a personal copy and a loaner copy to others who might want reasons for why my wife and I home-school and don't want a lot of statistical info.)

Summary: Know Thine Enemy
Comment: Public Education Against America reveals what's going on in public school that most parents don't know or refuse to believe. There really are people in high places pulling the strings to ensure your kids don't acquire the reading skills necessary to develop a good vocabulary or the writing skills necessary to develop those all-important thinking skills. If your child can think, they can't control him or her the way they do the millions of functionally illiterate public school graduates who depend on government support because their lack of learning makes it impossible for them to suppport themselves. Even worse, the same folks limiting core knowledge and thinking skills are successfully brainwashing your kids with the fundamentals of Humanism -- Darwinism, Moral Relativism and Socialism. If you don't believe it, read Maddoux' book and scores of others like it that are being published every year. These books are all saying the same thing -- someone is trying to control knowledge, all knowledge. That someone is your enemy and mine. Please get your kids out of Big Brother's schools before it's too late!

Summary: some harrowing information
Comment: This book will probably reach only the Christian right, and that would be a shame, because there is a lot of good information in this book that applies to all parents who have children in public school. It also affects all those who plan to live in the United States for the next 30 years.

For instance, the first chapter is on schools that not only indoctrinate young children in Islam, but require the children to actually practice Islam by memorizing a prayer in Arabic and actually praying that prayer, and by fasting at the right time, by taking a Muslim name for themselves, etc.

Other chapters deal with indoctrination of children against patriotism and against war. The book quotes David Horowitz that, "There are more Marxists on the faculties of American colleges than in the entire former communist bloc." (p. 65).

The main problem with this book is not only its restriction to the Christian right, but the fact that the author does not understand the full extent of the threat we are up against. When he is not reciting the usual epithets of "political correctness" or worse still "liberalism", he repeatedly calls it "secular humanism." The New Ideology is not humanism. It is not even liberalism. Yes, it is NOT liberalism. Liberals would allow you to have your say and not call you names for saying it. And the threat of the New Ideology is not that it is secular. If you want to know what the New Ideology is and learn more about how it has undermined education in this country, read While America Sleeps: How Islam, Immigration and Indoctrination Are Destroying America From Within. This New Ideology is formidable and its control of public education is a threat to the very existence of the United States as a democracy.

Summary: Absolutely preposterous
Comment: How any sane indiviual could honestly believe a single bit of the garbage presented in this book is beyond me. It is laced with blatant propaganda designed to paint liberals as sinister Communists bent on the utter annhilation of Christianity, when in reality, most have much milder views, and many are in fact Christians. Some of my favorite points: schools encourage children to think for themselves. Heaven forbid! We certainly wouldn't want kids to have their own opinions or ideas! Words such as "indoctrination" and "agenda" are cleverly used in place of the more realistic terms "teaching" and "goals." Perhaps the very best part is the absolute hypocrisy. Maddoux goes on and on about how freedom of speech is under attack by the so-called "New Left" and how liberals are trying to eradicate liberty in order to esablish a socialist, humanist, every-other-sort-of-negative-ist society. That's interesting...I wonder what he would say conservatives are doing by attempting to rid the country of anything not explicitly Christian (freedom of religion?). The bottom line is that Christian teachings have no place in public schools. If you are so terrified of your children being exposed to anything other than Christianity, home school them or send them to Christian schools. As much as it may shock and dismay some people, not everyone is a Christian. It is not the job of public schools to teach children morals and values. That is your job as a responsible Christian parent.

Summary: Indoctrination of the innocent
Comment: Before I read this book I already knew that our public education system had serious problems. Reading this book was not only informative it was also scary. It puts in detail how the public school system is brainwashing innocent children and taking the place of the parent.

It points out that the education system is undermining the parents role as the upbringer and spiritual guardian of their own children telling them that everything their parents teach them is wrong.

Also many insert their socialist and pro-marxist agendas into the minds of children from Kindergarden and up.

The recomendation is to pull your children out of public school NOW!!!
