“Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about Glasnost
and Perestroika and democracy in the coming years. They are primarily
for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal changes
in the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose
is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep.”
~ Mikhail Gorbachev (1931- ) General Secretary of the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union, the last head of state of the USSR (1985-1991)
in a speech to the Soviet Politburo, November 1987
“The argument that the two parties should represent
opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the
other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to
doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties
should be almost identical, so that the American people
can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading
to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.”

Predictions made in this book — “Back to Basics Reform or OBE Skinnerian International Curriculum” — published in 1985, 1993, and 2004, have come true. The book — which spells out clearly how OBE, Goals 2000, No Child Left Behind, and School-to-Work would be implemented — was boycotted by major conservative organizations. Read it and ask yourself “Why?” The book has sold 50,000 copies to grassroots organizations.

Hispanic Heritage Month takes place September 15 to October 15 every year as a time to recognize and celebrate the many contributions, diverse cultures, and extensive histories of the American Latino community. Beginning in 1968, Hispanic Heritage Month was originally observed as “Hispanic Heritage Week” under President Lyndon Johnson, but it was later extended to a month during President Ronald Reagan’s term in 1988.
Since then, the month has been celebrated nationwide through festivals, art shows, conferences, community gatherings, and much more. The month also celebrates the independence days of several Latin American countries, including: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua on September 15th, Mexico on September 16th, and Chile on September 18th. They also include holidays that recognize Hispanic contributions such as Virgin Islands-Puerto Rico Friendship Day that is celebrated in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
President Donald Trump officially proclaimed National Hispanic Heritage Month in a release on September 14th, saying:
“Hispanic Americans embody the best of our American values, including commitment to faith, family, and country. They serve in our military and protect us as members of law enforcement. In fact, Hispanic Americans make up half of our Border Patrol agents. The Hispanic-American community has left an indelible mark on our government, culture, and economy.”
During Hispanic Heritage Month, the U.S. Department of Education continues to celebrate the exceptional contributions of Hispanic students across America.
