"... it is essential that we create a seamless web that literally extends from cradle to grave and is the same system for everyone -- young and old, poor and rich, worker and full-time student."

"... a seamless system of skill development that begins in the home with the very young and continues through school, post-secondary education and the workplace."

-- National Center on Education and the Economy

Do Americans agree with these social engineers that it takes a village (the government) to raise, educate, and provide jobs for our children?


Tangled Web -- A Summary

Oklahoma Deception?
What About Other States?

Joe Esposito

[Tangled Web]
Is your children's future
caught in a tangled web?

Last year I had the privilege of serving on Governor Frank Keating's Oklahoma School-to-Work (STW) Executive Council. We were assigned to oversee the implementation of STW in Oklahoma. This alerted me to the extent of deceptive activities related to STW and allowed me to obtain enough of the puzzle pieces to see what is happening with education restructuring and workforce development here in America. Therefore, I have spent the last twelve months researching documents on STW.

The result of my research, Tangled Web, is a cumulative report incorporating research of original documents concerning STW (or Community Careers). Now we have the truth in their own words about what STW really is.

In my opinion, STW appears to be a total restructuring of education as well as of the workforce in America by Vocational-Technical Educators. Their purpose is to bring the United States into line with the European system of government control. This transformation is being accomplished through the Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) from the Department of Labor. SCANS incorporates Total Quality Management (TQM), a concept defined, and process designed, by W. Edwards Deming, J.M. Juran, and Philip Crosby. TQM is a program which intentionally changes personal values to conform to those of the customers -- management or government. (Parents and students are no longer considered to be the customers.) TQM is a concept from America's Choice: High Skills or Low Wages, by the National Center on Education and the Economy (NCEE) (Marc Tucker, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Ira Magaziner, et al.).

It is one thing for management to coerce employees to participate in TQM, but it is another thing for the federal government, or any government, to participate in Total Quality Management. A person can always leave his job, but one should not have to leave the country.

If you wish to learn more about STW and TQM I highly recommend the book, The Witch Doctors: Making Sense of the Management Gurus, by John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge, published by Times Books, a division of Random House. It is hot off the press and is a must-read book. The book tells the results of a two-year research project conducted by John Micklethwait (Business editor of The Economist) and Adrian Wooldridge, management correspondent of (The Economist). "It is the first book to deflate the hype and self-promotion surrounding management theory to get a clear look at the truth about management." Quoted from book cover.

Quoting from their introduction...

Shelley once claimed that poets are the unacknowledged legislators of mankind. "Today that honor belongs to management theorists. Names such as Drucker and Peters may not have the same ring as Wordsworth or Keats; yet, wherever one looks, management theorists are laying down the law, reshaping institutions, refashioning the language and, above all, reorganizing people's lives." (pg. 3)

Across the Atlantic, the Clinton administration, with its obsession with think tanks, Renaissance weekends, and the like, is even more steeped in management theory. In early 1995 it emerged that Bill Clinton had consulted both Princess Diana's mentor, Anthony Robbins, and Stephen Covey, another motivation expert. Hillary Clinton's incomprehensible but apparently omniscient health plan was largely written by a management fanatic, Ira Magaziner. Vice President Al Gore spends most of his time reinventing government in line with the latest management thinking. And a belief in the power of management is one of the few ideas that crosses party lines -- as the Drucker-reading Speaker Gingrich bears witness. [emphasis added] (p. 9)

What about Hillary's labyrinthine education and workforce plan -- School-to-Work? It appears many people have not yet connected the ongoing change in education and the workforce as the same deceptive plan as the health care plan.

To-Do List to Stop the Money Flow:

    Write letters:

    To Governor Frank Keating [(or the Governor of your State)] and your State Senator and Representative. Tell them we do not want the Federal School-To-Work program, nor do we want Oklahoma Vocational Technical Educators to restructure education and/or "the workforce."

    Spread the word to create a groundswell.

    [Without constitutional reform, good luck! For several years, as people have seen this coming, thousands of letters have been written -- to governors, to legislators ... all to no avail. It is just as if no one had lifted even one finger in protest. Without restoration of constitutional boundaries for our government, we will never be able to hold our public servants accountable. The reason? Money talks more loudly than words. Where is the money? Remember what Keynes said:

      By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.
      John Maynard Keynes

    The Constitution Party is the only Party committed to restoring the constitutional boundaries. Such restoration is the only way to stop the flow of money. -- ED]

    Summary of the book,Tangled Web,
    researched and compiled by Joe Esposito

    A culmination of Laws passed by Congress (with no public debate -- and for which they had not one shred of constitutional authority) has already begun to make radical changes in our lives -- and especially in the lives of our children. Following are ...

    Excerpts from, and a link to,
    the fully documented report.

      Introduction
      "School to Work" and "Total Quality Management" are deceptive terms for what is being sold piecemeal (to each according to what he would like to hear) to educators, to parents, to industry, and to labor. But the whole pie, when in place, will look very different from the individual pieces. The real losers will be the children.

      School to Work and SCANS
      "Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills. Without the public's knowledge and without being codified in law, SCANS is being used to radically transform education and the workforce into ONE system in the United States."
