Muddle Machine

I would like to thank Mr Ansari for his critique. I am working in a vendor company that produces textbooks for American publishers. What Ansari said:

"They are processed into existence using the pulp of what already exists, rising like swamp things from the compost of the past. The mulch is turned and tended by many layers of editors who scrub it of anything possibly objectionable before it is fed into a government-run "adoption" system that provides mediocre material to students of all ages."

was absolutely true. And again:

"Textbook editors swarm to events like the five-day International Reading Association conference to pick up the buzz. They all run around wondering, What's the coming thing? Is it critical thinking? Metacognition? Constructivism? Project-based learning?"

Such things indicate that the American educational machinery fallen into the hands of couple of perverted business men who followed the model of Balam for rewards (awards).

No wonder American children of this present decades perform poorly compare to some of the Asian and Europian counterparts.
I would like to compare such activities with the followings:

Where is truth in them when the pen of Scribes reveal absolute lies.

Huge amount of money that are supposed to be invested for original arts (truth) invested on duplicates (lies) and the return will be poor - recession and devaluation!

When you sow chaff you will reap vanity.

Your milk is watered and your wine adulterated

The searcher of hearts will not keep quite. As He said to prodigal Isreal - I have planted you as high-ranked wine among the Nations and how you became a wild wine!

The need of America is not new system of education but the old system (fear of the eternal and loving Father in Heaven) that showered innumerable blessings upon this country.

The dire need of America is - prophets who will warn the Balams who run after money. Prohets and men fo God like Jonathan Edwards, David Brainard, Charles Finny, Moody, Leonard Ravenhill, A. W. Tozer who said about Leonard
“Those who know Leonard Ravenhill will recognize in him the religious specialist, the man sent from God not to carry on the conventional work of the church, but to beard the priests of Baal on their own mountain-top, to shame the careless priest at the altar, to face the false prophet and to warn the people who are being led astray by him.

May God raise up prophets to save the remnants.
