"The way to redefine a word is to
get the new
definition repeated as often as possible.... This, so far as words
are concerned, is the public opinion battle for belief in your
definitions, and not those of the opposition. A consistent, repeated
effort is the key to any success with this technique of propaganda." (L.
Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology)[1]
"A racist is one who is both privileged and
socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system.
The term applies to all white people... living in the United
States...." (The University of Delaware)[2]
"The redefinition of words is done by
associating different emotions and symbols with the word than were
intended." (L. Ron Hubbard)[1]
"The University
of Minnesota...
intends to redesign its admissions process so that it screens out
people with the 'wrong' beliefs and values -- those who
either do not have sufficient 'cultural competence' or those who... will not be able to be
converted to the 'correct'
beliefs and values even after remedial re-education."[3]
Letter to University of
Minnesota
The
University of Delaware has about 7,000 students living on campus. It requires
these students "to adopt highly specific university-approved views on issues
ranging from politics to race, sexuality, sociology, moral philosophy and
environmentalism." Students are "pressured or even required" to make statements
that comply with the school's views.[4]
Being quiet about their beliefs isn't enough to keep
students out of trouble. They are interviewed, one-on-one, with intrusive
questions. If they fail to give politically correct answers, then a report
is written about them, and they are subjected to "treatment" -- compulsory
re-education. (This is a state university, which means that it is supported
by taxes. Therefore, people who would be appalled by such things are
required by law to support them financially.)
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education
(FIRE) has produced an online video about this brainwashing. In interviews
with students and professors, it shows how the university's Office of
Residence Life used a variety of methods to "coerce students to change their
thoughts, values, attitudes, beliefs, and habits" so that they would
"conform to a highly specified social, environmental, and political
agenda."[5]
One of the university's views is that all whites of
European descent are, by definition, racists. That would include William
Wilberforce, a white Englishman who spent his life working for the abolition
of slavery.[6] Hard to believe? Then read these
current definitions from the "University
of Delaware Office of Residence Life Diversity Facilitation Training
(PDF)
“A RACIST: ...all white
people.... By this definition, people of color cannot be
racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system, they do
not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities,
or acts of discrimination." (Page 3)
“REVERSE RACISM: A term created and used by white people to
deny their white privilege. Those in denial use the term
reverse racism to refer to hostile behavior by people of
color toward whites.... In the U.S., there is no such thing
as 'reverse racism.'" (Page 3)
“A NON-RACIST: A non-term. The term was created by whites to
deny responsibility for systemic racism, to maintain an aura
of innocence in the face of racial oppression, and to shift
responsibility for that oppression from whites to people of
color (called "blaming the victim")."(Page 3)
The "racist" label would apply to James Reeb, a white
American man who was beaten to death by segregationists on March 11, 1965,
because he participated in Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s march for civil
rights in Selma, Alabama.[7]
It would also include my friend Sheila, a white woman
who also participated in that civil rights march in Selma. Although timid by
nature, Sheila could be strong when it came to standing up for what she believed
in. She risked her life to participate in that march, and she had to face police
dogs and cattle prods. But the University of Delaware says that Sheila is a
racist because she is white.
It would also include white couples who adopt black
children. And it would include whites who marry blacks. According to the
university, these people are, by definition, racists -- no matter how they
behave, and no matter what they believe.
So according to the University of Delaware, "racism" has
little or nothing to do with behavior, beliefs, and motives. It is all about the
university's philosophy and ideology. What men and women actually think, and how
they actually behave, is irrelevant.
There was strong resistance to this program at the
University of Delaware. As a result, it was discontinued in October 2007.[8]
But in May 2008, the program was revived. And it still
has the same definition of racism.[9]
The University of Minnesota has proposed a similar
program. It apparently intends to change its admissions process in order to
screen out potential students who have "wrong" beliefs and values. Present
students whose beliefs don't conform to the university's ideology, and who do
not change their beliefs as a result of mandatory re-education, would not be
able to get degrees. In other words, successfully completing their studies, they
would be refused the degree that they earned because of their personal beliefs.[10]
This program of indoctrination is especially aimed at
future teachers. The Teacher Education Redesign Initiative is a group whose
objective is to "change the way future teachers are trained" at the University
of Minnesota. It requires teachers to embrace (and teach) its worldview, which
sees America as being "an oppressive hellhole: racist, sexist and homophobic."[11]
Many American colleges are indoctrinating students
instead of educating them. This widespread problem is documented in Jim Nelson
Black's book "Freefall of the American University: How Our Colleges Are
Corrupting the Minds and Morals of the Next Generation."
(Thomas Nelson, 2004)
This process involves coercion, mind control, and the unconstitutional lack of
free speech and freedom of conscience. It also involves "service learning"
-- sending students into troubled neighborhoods where they are trained to
justify immorality and despise traditional values. What does this do to the ability
of students to think logically and to deal with objective facts?
Replacing real education with indoctrination creates a
generation of students whose beliefs and behavior are ruled by propaganda and
feelings
instead of facts and logical thinking. These victims of contemporary
brainwashing can easily be manipulated by clever
slogans, clever music, and clever TV ads. It is a perfect set-up for
power-hungry politicians.
Back in the fifties, countless Western
prisoners-of-war faced
Communist brainwashing in Asia and the Soviet Union.
Only
those whose faith and values were anchored in unwavering truth were able to resist the
disorienting assaults on their minds. Genuine Christians
demonstrated a spiritual resistance that baffled Communist change
agents and even converted guards. Never has it been more important
to stand firm in God's Word, train our children to reject
compromise, and stand together in God-given strength as we face a world that hates our values
and mock our God!
"What shall we then say to these things?
If God be for us, who can be against us?"
(Romans 8:31)
"The LORD is on my side; I will not
fear: what can man do unto me?"
(Psalm 118:6)
