Thanks for your hard work getting the word out about the use of
the dialectic in the school system.
Having studied this for quite some time now, I was really glad to
find your web site as another resource for teaching others about what's really
going on in our schools today. I linked
your site from mine so others will make use of it. We have an 11 year old (almost 12) and have
seen this demonic agenda creeping into our rural area and it gets worse every
school year.
Thank you and God Bless,
Kevin
I just want to say first, I truly enjoyed navigating the site. The
links and articles, interdispersed with the
quotations from biblical text made my day (Schools for the 21st Century)
I found Learn~usa following
your old email address via an assigned article on the Dephi
technique in a class I am taking. After reading the article, (which in and of
itself causes me to question "just what did really happen" when
reflecting on some meetings that I have attended in the last year), I think I
got it!!!.
Interesting perspective and more interesting is that I have seen it happen
before. Also of interest was the helpful links section. Thanks for an
informative and info packed site.

I have just spent the last hour reading some of you essay's and articles. I feel compelled, for personal
reasons, to write this email today. You are 100% right. I know from personal
experience.
This is not the first time I have read your papers concerning the
public school system. My personal research on this subject has led me back to
your work. It is not an easy subject to encapsulate. It is, as I have found, a
problem so big and complex that I don't think I will live long enough to fully
understand the entire system.
In the early to mid eighties I was a grade school student in the
Washington state school system. I was a bright, healthy, student who was always
at the top of the class. My father was a
veteran … my mother (a registered nurse) …
[they] married and decided to raise a family. I would consider both my
parents to be highly successful and intelligent people. … I am quite
certain they had our best interests in mind before and after we were born.
My perceptions of our world before entering the public school system
were common. The schools have nothing but the best of intentions. I would learn things, that's what the schools do. I would have an
"educational" experience. The schools are educational institutions.
The problems really started in the fifth grade. The math
curriculum from third grade to sixth grade consisted of and ended at long
division. My father, a math major at the time, noticed that my math book
was completely inaccurate.
He pointed the mistakes out to the principle in a meeting and they
said, "we weren't aware of that but it doesn't
matter because that's the way we’re going to teach it next year". This is
how it all started.
I soon realized why it was of no concern to them that the books
were wrong. They don't care about facts.
Facts can be disputed, argued, found non factual. They were in the
business of dictating a moral code. There is no individual, there is no winner
or loser, there is no reason to question us. We will
tell you what is true. We are all "equal".
There were times when the teacher would bang a gavel on her desk
to quiet the room down. Rolls of tape were thrown at the students who were not
behaving. (on one occasion giving a boy a bloody nose
after being hit in the face)
I left class quite often, against my teachers warning, and attempted
to talk with the principle about these physical assaults but I didn't get very
far. I was eleven...I never would have guessed that my attempts to report
this were going to cost me for years and years.
I could go on and on and on. I don't want to bore you.
I just wanted to thank you for all the work you are doing and I
hope someday we will be in the Majority.
Thanks again, Let me know if there is any
way that I can help.

After our school board convened a huge committee to rezone the
district (so that they can shift blame if the plan goes awry), a friend wrote
and said, "Seems like you sent something out one time about how they
manipulate groups. Do you still have it?"
I pulled your treatise on the Delphi Technique and sent it
all over the place. It's causing quite a stir as people are realizing
what they did to them, and they don't like it!
Thanks again for all you do.

Your web-site has proved to be an invaluable resource for
concerned citizens, parents and educational advocates here in Reading,
Massachusetts.
For years, we have struggled against deceptive, controlling public
officials, misguided, uninformed citizens and opportunistic special interest
groups. Thanks to your web-site, we were
finally able to put a “name” to the tactics and techniques frequently used to
marginalize and discredit us when we ask questions (and we hope you don't mind
the link we have to the “About Consensus and Facilitation” section of your
site).
Informed citizen of Reading, Massachusetts
Love your website!
Ben
God's Grace and Peace. Just viewing your site and had to jot you a
note to say how very informative your site is, any home schooling parent is the
best teacher there is.
Our Prayers and God Bless

Dear Lynn:
I am a parent of 4 daughters all of whom are in NYC public
schools. We have, for the past three
years, been subjected to the "consensus - democratic" method you so
wonderfully describe on your website. I
am as appalled as you are, and think that your
"Delphi Technique" and all your pages are truly the best account of
the deterioration of our American way of life I have ever read.
Betsy
I am happy to have found your site. It is very frustrating to me that even facts
about the plans of our school system do not really disturb some people. I guess they do not sense any harm from such
implementation of ideologies that have historically oppressed citizens. Resistance may certainly generate real
problems. I was a homeschool parent who
lost custody of my sons in a contested divorce.
My objections to enrollment of my children in the public program gave an
opportunity to make all kinds of claims against me. I was labeled deficient in many areas, fears,
paranoia etc.—a bunch of foolishness trumped up by experts for the court. I just want to thank you for your
conscientiousness and discipline in the research and publication of info.
Lynne
Lynn, I have known about you for at least 5 years, I even
wrote you about trouble with my boys (2 sons) school quite some time ago. Jackie and you, especially your site, have
been a great help in locating the resources I needed to make the decision to
remove my boy's from "public edu" and place
them in a small private Christian school, they went from failing grades to honor
students and have great self esteem as well now. See story - Two are the Class of 2002
We fought the system, found it was futile, and opted out! Success was achieved! PTL [Praise the Lord]
Am I outside the box? I
often wonder "What Box?"
I do thank you for your information and links ever so much, I have
often sent your links to others for "educational ammo"
You and your families adversities have
always been thought of and in my prayers.
Thank you Lynn

Lynn M. Stuter's website (this is a website
that all should visit, from parents and their children to teachers,
researchers, all the facets that make up resource providers and generational
land stewards, and all consumers - the truth that is here is undeniable!)
I feel so much better just knowing that such a site as Lynn's
exists!
Julie
Absolutely awesome website!
Keep up the good work.
Katie
Basically, my concern is for all of the above. I'm an Adult Basic Education teacher here and
have a real concern for our education system. It's my opinion that the government is going
to try out a few things with the GED test next year and try and institute it
into the HS area. Most of it is probably
already done on a certain level anyway.
I enjoy your site. My daughter is
graduating from U of I in May of 2001 with her masters in education and its a real concern to her father and I. She is buying into all of this crap in
education and leaving her Christian upbringing behind her. I hope she will read some of this material on
your site. Thanks.....
Linda
The information on your site is priceless. I was researching information on the
Dialectic process and after two hours, of the "Aspen Institute" and
the praise of Hegel, I found your site.
I often wonder what I can do to stop this "evil" process of
using the Dialectic process in public policy and education, but I feel as if I
am a small cog in the machine. As I have
gone through college, and I have seen and experienced
the vendettas of Hegel’s followers and teachers whenever someone adheres to
their beliefs. One of my favorite quotes
on the subject is "Stand for something or you will fall for
anything." I support you and what
you are doing.
Mark
I was just looking for some info today and went to your
website. I had to let you know how
helpful and useful your site is. Thanks
for all your hard work!
Cathy
I just started to look over your page. It appears to be well informed with good
information. I will visit and, as
questions come up, will ask. I know that
we need to return all education to the local level and get the power out of the
fed. No matter what I read of here, I am
convinced that getting the power out of the feds starts with getting rid of the
taxing power. No money, no power! Keep up the good work.
Jim
I found the page on Youth Violence & Drugs. Just wanted to say it was excellent. The best I have seen and it really helped me
out. The profile of shooters and the
drugs they were on at the time was just the research info I needed. So thanks.
Also the links were great, covered every topic I needed, thanks
for such a great website. Really helpful.
Eleanor
I found your site long ago!
It's fantastic!
I revisited it yesterday evening and forwarded on Karen Holgate's great article to some friends and a board member
involved in Christian school education.
I must commend you on your superb analysis of Systems
Dynamics! You've summarized it
beautifully!
Kathy
Thankyou for
your website.
Fern
I've been scouring your web-site!
WOW!!! I thought I knew a lot
about OBE and STW and Goals 2000... I've looked at a lot of stuff for the last
couple of hours now and I am learning more every minute.

Thank you so much for your valuable website.

My son is 7 and in second grade.
This year he started a new school in a small town we just moved to. Because of a problem with neighbors, I
learned that police, social services or any government agency is able to come
to the school and speak with my son without my knowledge. What really blew me away was how the
principal thought that this was just fine.
I quickly got online and got a copy of student rights and gave one to
the school and one to my son to keep with him.
The funny thing is the school won't let parents on the grounds without a
background check. One time, when we
called about something, a woman at the office referred to my child as
hers. Everything on your website rings
so true but I am still struggling with the decision to pull my son out. However, it is nice to know that I am not
alone, that I am not crazy because that is how the school has attempted to make
me feel.

…Information I gained from the loop has been very helpful with my
fight against the growth in education.
Perhaps most helpful was understanding the
various consensus building methods and frauds perpetrated on the public, and
understanding the vocabulary of the educrats.
Like most other professions, educrats speak in code. If you taught for thirty years, you
understand it as well as I understood military code terms. However, no citizen can go up against the
system without understanding the language.
For that I am most appreciative of the loop. Lynn Stuter's web
site is very useful in this regard. …
Ray
Dear Lynn; I finally tracked down how to spell your name, and
visit your website. I heard you a couple
months back on the Weissbach radio talk show on 570
KVI. From what I heard, you were great!
… You are a fighter, and that is what freedom is about, to a large degree.

I am a mother of 3 little girls … I was going to home-school, but
my husband was against it. I spent the
past year looking for support and information on public schools. It seems a lot of parents don't even see any
problems with public school, or on the other end, the parents don't want to
deal with it and choose homeschool. I
wish I had found your web-site a year ago.
What I am doing now is building a home-page for moms like me who need
some info, prayer groups and just support.
I was wondering if I may put your link on my home-page?
Doreen
Great Job!!!!! Keep up the
good work!
Art
What a great looking website!
Thanks!
Paula
Having spent 2 hours on your pages of information, I just want to
say what a great thing you have done. I
have been aware of and concerned about some of this information, and now
everything is in one place. My children
are grown, but I do have grandchildren in school, and many friends with school
children. Some are aware of a few of these
things, but your information is so complete and I intend to pass it on to them.
Thank you for the completeness of the information.
Mary
Excellent web site!! You
are doing a much needed service by getting the word out in an understandable
way!
Lance
I just discovered your great webpage. Please do not change it until I have had a
chance to read the entire contents. I
have been looking for a source that put together STW, restructuring, OBE,
etc. I have been uncomfortable with the
whole process as a school board member here in Washington State but have not
had all the background information from which to begin my education.
Thanks for being there.
Dan
I really like your web pages.
I just have hit about 20 so far and have found out a lot that I did not
know. Thank you.
Eric
Wow! Just have to tell you
what a great site you have. I hope to
build one soon, but I am in envy of you.
You are doing a great job. 10
million more like you and we would have this problem licked! Keep up the good work.
Marlene
What you wrote about the Delphi Technique is very chilling – it
explains exactly what is going on here in Michigan.
Troy
Congratulations! Although
in my search I have found good websites by folks against the Goals 2000 scheme,
yours is the only one that is well cited.
Thanks for you work,
Sandra
THANK YOU for a terrific website.
I'm sending it around, if you don't mind. Good job!
Sam
Glad you are doing this, Lynn!
Great job.
Have bookmarked your site. Take care,
Larry
Your web site is awesome!
God bless you.
Susan
Thanks for all the work you have put in on your web site. A co-worker pointed it out to me today. I have been pointing to your work The
Delphi Technique since I first started my web page. Now that I know you have your own site, I
hope that you won't mind if I point to it from mine.
Thanks again,
Wes
Your web site is just great!
So much work! I really appreciate
the ease in which everything can be found.... Thank You!
