New York, NY 10018 (212) 279-0707 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (continuation) BEVERLY ECKMAN: And it is to create a mindset that is a mob -- mob temper tantrums, so to speak, mob rule. Now they call it something else. They call it "the delphi" technique, or they call it "consensus", but it comes down to the same thing. GARY NULL: Give us an example of how these educators or the behavioral scientists are doing this. BEVERLY ECKMAN: Okay. Do you mean in curriculum or in testing? GARY NULL: In both. BEVERLY ECKMAN: Okay. Well let's look at our testing first because I think this will give us a kind of a hint of what's going on. You know, these tests are kept very, very secret. A parent can't get hold of them. A TEACHER can't see them. A United States senator can't even see them. This is what really tipped us off, in the first place, that something very peculiar was going on. So let's talk about some of these tough questions: the ones that they're exempting from freedom of information and hiding from parents so that the kids, supposedly, won't know the answers, and so that the validity of their precious tests won't be compromised. Well, here's a real toughy: "Morton has been playing hard all afternoon with his friends. He comes home a few minutes before supper. If I were Morton, I would take a shower or a bath before supper when I knew: A) I had already taken a shower that morning. B) I didn't smell too bad. (Notice the grammar on that one.) C) I would miss my favorite TV show." Or how about this one: "Norma is home alone. She gets a headache. She goes to the medicine cabinet and finds her mother's headache pills. If I were Norma, I would take one of my mother's pills when I thought: A) it was the same kind of headache my mother gets. B) the pill might stop my headache quickly. C) my parents might not like me to take it." You have to think about that one, but you don't have to think about it too hard if you understand what they're looking for in all this. And what they're looking for is .... There are six things: 1) Locus of Control: In other words, who controls you? Is it your parents, yourself or your peers? Basically, these are the three choices. 2) Willingness to Receive Stimuli: Do you take it all in or do you shut some of it out? 3) Amenability to Change: Are you flexible, in other words. Will you change easily or are you going to be a hard-liner? 4) Level of Group Conformity: The way they put it is, "willingness to conform to group goals and willingness to obey authority," which sounds good (the "obey authority" part) until you realize that the authority they're talking about is not necessarily an authority figure who is recognized, such as parents or the police or something of that nature. They're talking about any figure that passes itself off as an authority figure. So these are the things they're looking for. And if you look at these questions IN THAT LIGHT, then you see something totally different in them. Here is another one: "I was elected class president. I came home to tell my parents the good news. They told me that my dad had taken a job out of the state and we were going to move in two weeks. So I had to withdraw from school and move. If this happened to you, how much time would you spend on each thing below? 1. being upset 2. trying to find someone to stay with, so you could remain in school 3. planning a going-away party 4. fighting with your parents 5. reading about the place you were going to move to" "When I make a plan to do something, something usually goes wrong. Check one: very true of me, mostly true of me, mostly untrue of me, very untrue of me." I mean, we're laughing, but it really isn't funny. And there is page-after-page of this stuff. Some of it is simply questions like: "How many, or what kinds of books and magazines are in your house?" and they give you choices. "How many times a week do you eat breakfast?" "Do your parents or guardians enjoy hearing about school?" "Do they think the school is doing a good job?" "A person is of a different religion than his or her church. In this situation I would feel either: very comfortable, comfortable, slightly uncomfortable or very uncomfortable." It just goes on and on. In Texas, we got one that says: "How many Christians are on your street?" "What is your least favorite country?" And that is a multiple-choice question, by the way. And this one you will really like -- especially your audience, I think. There is a list of nineteen nationalities here: Irish-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Italian-Americans (so on and so forth), Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Eastern European-Americans, Japanese-Americans, (and so on). Then the questions follow. And here are some of the questions: "Which of the above do you think is responsible for the decline of the U.S. economy?" "Which of the above do you think is more likely to raise a large family; that is, eight or more children?" "Which of the above do you think is most subject to criminal activity?" "Which of the above do you think would be most likely to eliminate an entire race?" How about THAT one? "Who most influences the way you feel about other races?" "If you could eliminate an entire race, would you?" "If `yes', which one?" "Have you, or would you ever physically assault someone because of their sexual preference?" ..... and so on and so on.
