Miller: I know everyone is familiar with John Rosemond, and I know he has made a presentation for the school system. I would like to share an article with you that he has written that uses some of the terminology we are talking about. In talking about social engineering, I tend to think about what is being taught to our children in health classes relative to reproduction. McCall: Could you be specific? Miller: Today I spent an afternoon with 15 high school students and they told me that in the course of their education, abstinence was mentioned maybe one time, but sex was mentioned numerous times. To me, this is social engineering. McCall: Could you tell me the makeup of these students? Were they black, white, male or female? Miller: Mixed. All of what you have said. McCall: Well, you can manipulate students. I know that I can take a group of students and manipulate them to provide me with the information that I want. In order to obtain unbiased information, I would think that a different approach then taking students off to a meeting such as the one you've mentioned would be a better method. However, is this enough evidence to substantiate that we are conducting social engineering in our system? Do you feel the report is justified in drawing the conclusion that our school system is teaching social engineering, bias against truth, brainwashing, and situational ethics? Miller: Well, brainwashing is very strong language, but I don't doubt that situational ethics and social engineering are taking place. I feel like we have a whole generation of young people who do not know, or how to distinguish between, right and wrong. Long: The study committee had a break and then you got back together. Did everyone come back to the meetings? Miller: Carol Hoover "evaporated." Robert Privette resigned. This is a consensus report. Everyone that was on the committee was requested to write an outline on what they saw as impact items for this report. We came together as a group and we have a consensus report. Again, everyone was asked to write a report; Carol Hoover did not. Why she selected not to participate, I do not know. The option was offered. Fanjoy: The committee sort of fell apart. We started getting back together in April. I agree with a large part of the report, but not all of it. It's just the nature of a report to be critical and not positive. The committee was somewhat disorganized. We should have finished it in six months. Long: I would like to thank the discredit the reportused the report at our retreat. I don't want anyone to think we are trying to Nicholson: When our goals come out that we worked on at our retreat, I think the committee will be able to relate to these. The study was a big part of our retreat. ,So me gets f the report was negative. As we all know, when one bad thing happens statement at a a sin the report reported, but when good things happen they are said that most of our communication is considered to be positive media spin which borders on overt propaganda. t Miller: I feel like everyone should come together as a partnership for the schools, especially when you have someone like John Rosemond come out and say that public school is no longer the best option. It's something you're going to have to deal with. Let's make public
