"Death in the Classroom" making the case for the end of the Dept of Education

"Death in the Classroom" making the case for the end of the Dept of Education


By Tony DiGirolamo

Death Education, and this story, Death in the Classroom, ABC's 20/20, is  a story among many that makes the case for the end of the Department of Education.

It is without a doubt the biggest mistake in the public and private schools as it deals with life and death.

William R Coulson, psychologist, "In schools across America, time is taken from academics to provide children with drug education, suicide education, and sex education courses; the promise is to reduce or eliminate personal experimentation with drugs, sex and suicide. That promise is false. Follow up research shows increased drug use and sexual activity after the typical classroom exercises; and from the popular "death and dying courses," there are preliminary indications that this kind of education also leads to a greater likelihood of violence against the self." (Video)


In 1990 when the program Death in the Classroom was produced, Hugh Downs said: "As Tom Jerrial shows us it seems that there can be unexpected consequences".
What they didn't know was what the consequences only nine years later would be ... The Columbine shooting happened. Death Education was still being taught. And because they said nothing it is still taught nationwide.

Coulson was on the 20/20 program, Death in the Classroom, and said this to Tom Jerrial, "What makes us think that American education is going to do a good job teaching Death Education. We ought to be trembling about the fact that the schools which failed to teach academics are now presuming to teach on matters of Life And Death."

Thomas Sowell in an Op-Ed in 1994 said, "People who today express alarm at the supposed infiltration of "the religious right" into the public schools typically have no idea how widespread, how systematic and how persistent have been the infiltration of directly the opposite ideas which have been pushed by people like Carl Rogers and his then-disciple William Coulson."

… "The issue in the schools today is not religion but education. It is the secular messiahs who have redirected the schools away from intellectual activity and toward psychological tinkering and ideological indoctrination. At least one of those secular messiahs has now decided to alert others to the dangers. For that, all parents owe Dr. William Coulson a debt of gratitude."

How we've gotten here is too complex to put the blame on just these guys, but they did set in stone the philosophy, the religion that set the course against God, The Commandments and the laws of Western Civilization.
The schools should once again be supervised and guided by the local communities and they would be the ones better suited to educate the next great generation.
This presidential election is the one most important to freedom that I have ever seen in my life.
Why is this so urgent to me? I have grandchildren, and their freedom is in danger.
