Read A Book 2: Unschooling

The Ijebu Drums take the view that adults should help the young develop organised intellect, independent thought, and active productivity. The education system is proving to deliver the opposite of these virtues. The Home-Schooling movement recognises this deficiency in schooling. Whether it is funded or managed by private, public and faith authorities, schools appear to be training the young to be only obedient, mono-dimensional, hyper-consumers.

This responsible adult on The Power of Home Schooling and Power of HomeSchooling Book Review Part 2 has recommended some books and activities for adults.

Here is a partial listing of the books mentioned.
The Unschooling Handbook: How to Use The World As Your Child's Classroom by Mary Griffith
addresses the issues and diffi culties of unschooling in this practical guide. The book hel ps parents to raise self-reliant, self-motivated learners an d helps children to fulfil their true potential.

Raising Children Who Think For Themselves by Elisa Medhus
is a prescriptive parenting book with many qualities that give it a broad appeal. It reveals the one force tipping the scales of society towards the dead-end and perilous road of moral decay: We are taught to govern ourselves through external influences rather than through our inner voice of reason. In other words, we are externally directed instead of internally directed, and sadly we raise our children to be the same. Fortunately, it is never too late to address this problem: a child of any age will benefit when they learn how to follow their own inspiration and rely on their intuition.

The Teenage Liberation Handbook: How to Quit School and Get a Real Life and Education by Grace Llewellyn
argues that school is the antithesis of democracy, that children and teenagers are being deprived of their freedom and trained for life in totalitariasm and they are learning less than they would out of school. It makes the obvious point that schools destroy people's love of learning replacing it with a system based on fear of failure. It then offers advice on how to quit school including persauding your parents. The next section explains how to use different resources available in the community in order to learn and the final section explains the possibilities open to unschoolers to earn money . Every teenager should read this book, but so should every teacher, parent and politician.

War Against The Weak: Eugenics and America's Campaign To Create A Master Race by Edwin Black

[BTW. It seems that the deliberate dumbing down of schooling, health, nutrition and other life choices across the world is part of an eugenic campaign. Today the program for condom use hardly questions the sterilisation effects of spermicidal chemicals used in condoms or of the trace elements and condom material left behind in the female organs. Already, the spate of forced abortions in some communities is likened to an eugenic genocide. Maybe this book casts some further light]

They Came Before Columbus by Ivan Settima
People from the African continent arrived in the Americas well before the person known as Christoper Columbus is recorded to have discovered it (hence, the New World) for Europeans. As in Australia, New Zealand, parts of Africa, and the Americas itself, European settlers killed off many of the natives.

Milk contains proteins and hormones, fat and cholesterol, pesticides, viruses and bacteria (including bovine leukaemia, bovine tuberculosis and cow immunodeficiency virus), all combining to produce an array of ailments in humans. It investigates possible conspiracies which may have influenced the FDA and Congress as well as the scientific and medical establishment to deliberately disguise the dangers of consuming milk and dairy products.

Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau

The Nazi Connection: Eugenics, American Racism and German National Socialism by Stephan Kuhl
The Nazi movement rested on an occult mythology shared among many in the European elite. As such, its beliefs and rites, including royal hierarchy and racialist supremacy, are also widely shared and may be the basis of many European 'values', economic activities, and social policies - certainly in Germany, UK and USA. Many of the Nazi scientists were helped to leave Germany at the end of the European World War Two to settle in UK, USA and South Africa and to continue their work. This work continues in the Human Genome Project and in the man-ufactured diseases Ebola, Mad Cow Disease, and AIDS.

White Flight: Atlanta and the Making of Modern Conservatism (Politics and Society in Twentieth Century America by Kevin Kruse
a myth-shattering book. Focusing on the city that prided itself as 'too busy to hate,' Kevin Kruse reveals the everyday ways that middle-class whites in Atlanta resisted civil rights, withdrew from the public sphere, and in the process fashioned a new, grassroots, suburban-based conservatism [that powered the new Republican and Democratic parties]. This important book has national implications for our thinking about the links between race, suburbanization, and the rise of the New Right.

Race to the Frontier: "White Flight" and Western Expansion by John Dippel
Why did so many thousands of settlers pull up stakes and undertake the arduous journey to the frontier in 18th- and 19th-century America. While the desire for a more prosperous future figured prominently in their decisions, so did another, largely overlooked factor - the presence of slavery and the growing number of blacks, both free and slave, in the eastern half of the United States. Poor white farmers, particularly those in the Upper South, found themselves displaced by the spreading of the plantation system. In order to survive economically they were chronically forced to move further inland. As they did so... they sought to erect legal barriers to prevent slavery from taking hold as well as to deter the migration of free blacks who would otherwise compete for jobs and endanger white society.
