FEMINISM: MASK FOR MARXISM?
|
|
|
|
Tom Valentine's guest on *Radio Free America* (Shortwave, 5.065
|
|
MHz, mon-fri, 9 pm cst) on December 28, 1994 was Andrea Pearson,
|
|
editor-in-chief of a newsletter called "Americans In Exile"
|
|
[contact info to be included below]. Ms. Pearson has some non-
|
|
politically correct views on feminism, etc. Note that views
|
|
expressed in the following do not necessarily reflect my own
|
|
views or those of Conspiracy Nation.

TOM VALENTINE:
|
|
I can tell ya, being a student in high school in '49, '50, '51,
|
|
'52, that that wasn't true.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ANDREA PEARSON:
|
|
Oh it certainly isn't true...
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
Our class valedictorian was a girl! [i.e., young wommon; cf.
|
|
*Politically Correct Bedtime Stories* by James Finn Garner.]
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
Oh yes, absolutely. There *is* no gender inequity in education.
|
|
And yet, in the Gender Equity in Education Act what we end up
|
|
with is a massive system -- not only re-writing of history,
|
|
textbooks intended to create certain opinions in children
|
|
regarding gender roles, but really disgusting things like parent
|
|
education about gender roles and their influence on learning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
All right. I want to take this up in more detail when we come
|
|
back.
|
|
|
|
My guest is Andrea Pearson. And we're talking about the gender
|
|
war, and Marxism. I'm Tom Valentine. This is *Radio Free
|
|
America*.
|
|
|
|
[...break...]
|
|
|
|
We are *live*, again. And on the other end of the telephone is
|
|
Andrea Pearson. And we're gonna be continuing to talk about the
|
|
Gender Equity in Education Act. I profess a great deal of
|
|
ignorance here on this subject.
|
|
|
|
Andrea, I believe you put out a little newsletter or something on
|
|
this, don't you?
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
Yeah, I sure do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
Tell me about that, too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
Well, anyone who's interested in obtaining the newsletter can
|
|
either write to me or call me. The address is: Americans in
|
|
Exile, P.O. Box 2636, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, 01202. And my
|
|
phone number is (413) 499-3593.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
Oh, I have that number! I thought maybe you had a different
|
|
number for that. O.K. It's "Americans in Exile". Ah-hah! Are
|
|
*you* an "American in exile"?
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
I think that most people who have the traditional belief systems
|
|
about what marriage is, what the parents' role is towards their
|
|
children, and so forth and so on, *are* "exiled" in America
|
|
today.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
O.K. Andrea, will you send out a sample if people write to you
|
|
and say that they'd like to see it?
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
Yeah, I sure will!
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
O.K. Good. We got that done.
|
|
|
|
Now, this Gender Equity in Education Act. (I *should* know all
|
|
about it.) I don't know a thing about it. When'd they pass this?
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
It was passed in 1993.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
Oh, last year!
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
Yeah. And what it does is, it allows, first of all, for the
|
|
connection of major government systems: Health and Human
|
|
Services, uh there's... They call it "The Link-up for Learning".
|
|
And what it does is, it puts together a *huge* federal-level
|
|
method for tabulating where students are: their socio-economic
|
|
status, their race, their sex, and so forth...
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
Oh, is this the thing that Beverly Eckman has helped uncover in
|
|
her book about education?
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
It's very likely that it may be related to that. I don't know if
|
|
she's aware of this or not. But one thing that it says here (I'm
|
|
reading), it says, "improve inter-agency communications and
|
|
information sharing, including developing local-area
|
|
telecommunication networks, software development, database
|
|
integration and management." And this is with major areas of the
|
|
federal government. There's a federal inter-agency task force
|
|
that's been set up "consisting of the Secretary of Education,
|
|
Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, and
|
|
heads of other federal agencies, as appropriate." This is a huge
|
|
bill. It's $360 million in the first year.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
All right, now, this is strange. Most Americans, including
|
|
myself, would think that's awfully innocuous -- telling the
|
|
bureaucrats of our government to get together and computerize.
|
|
But what you're saying is, by having government bureaucrats get
|
|
together and computerize, they are micro-managing lives in a way
|
|
that is detrimental to our traditional society.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
Well it *is* invasive to the family. But it's also particularly
|
|
disturbing that the kind of things that they're paying attention
|
|
to are the gender role socialization within a particular
|
|
student's family. And also, you know this bill provides for so
|
|
much, it's difficult to talk about *all* of it. But...
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
Well, wait a minute: gender role socialization inside a
|
|
particular family??
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
That's right.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
How do they go about doing this? What do they do?
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
Well, one thing is to change the textbooks so they're considered
|
|
to be "gender equitable". Another thing that they do is, they put
|
|
monies into different parts of the country: "At least one grant,"
|
|
(and I'm quoting here), "in each of the ten federal regions."
|
|
That's *their* words.
|
|
|
|
Also, in the U.N. [United Nations] treaty, they talk about this
|
|
same sort of thing being put into the education system. We're
|
|
getting into conformity with U.N. law here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
All right, does that mean... I'm trying to get this in a
|
|
practical, down-to-earth, 1950s mentality -- which I'm stuck with
|
|
when it comes to education and school. That means that boys don't
|
|
go to wood shop anymore, and girls don't go to "home ec." [i.e.,
|
|
home economics]
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
Uh...
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
They all go to sex education.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
Well... It's not that simple. There's "set-asides" for pregnant
|
|
teenagers. It allows for the erection of day-care centers --
|
|
either next to the school or nearby the school, with
|
|
transportation provided. It provides for all kinds of special
|
|
privileges for girls...
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
I got ya. All right.
|
|
|
|
Andrea is my guest, Andrea Pearson and the American in Exile. And
|
|
we're gonna open up the phone lines to you.
|
|
|
|
I'm Tom Valentine. This is *Radio Free America*.
|
|
|
|
[...break...]
|
|
|
|
All right. We are back, live. My guest is Andrea. Andrea Pearson,
|
|
the producer of "Americans in Exile" newsletter, out of Post
|
|
Office Box 2636, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, 01202.
|
|
|
|
And Andrea, this Gender Equity in Education Act sounds like a
|
|
massive thing, sort of like the crime bill. And it slipped
|
|
through in 1993. There wasn't a lot of fanfare, was there?
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
There wasn't a lot of fanfare. I'd be surprised if most Americans
|
|
knew about it. I think that they'd be *horrified* if they knew
|
|
what was in it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
Well I'm... I don't even fully understand yet. We've been talking
|
|
about it, but um... It's a big bill, and you say it's horrifying.
|
|
Yet I don't sense the urgency. Somehow, we're not getting it
|
|
across, of how bad it is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
Well, one thing that seems to me like a real whopper is, that an
|
|
"at risk" student is defined here. And this is the definition.
|
|
(I'd like to read it, 'cause I think it's so serious): "Many 'at
|
|
risk' students suffer the effects of inadequate nutrition and
|
|
health care, overcrowded and unsafe living conditions and
|
|
homelessness, family and gang violence, substance abuse, sexual
|
|
abuse and child abuse, involuntary migration, and limited English
|
|
proficiency, that often creates severe barriers to learning" the
|
|
knowledge and skills, and so forth.
|
|
|
|
Then it later... This is one thing that they're going to give
|
|
grants to support, is grants to local education agencies to
|
|
improve educational performances of "at risk" students by
|
|
removing barriers to their learning.
|
|
|
|
The trouble is, is with Bill of Rights, is that what *happens*
|
|
is, the government starts stepping in and saying that poverty,
|
|
and someone who's unemployed, may in fact be... uh, that
|
|
constitutes "dysfunction" within a family. And you know as well
|
|
as I do that this monstrous "child protective services" industry
|
|
that's been set up, [it] gobbles up people.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
They abuse it. I mean, we have had... We've had people (and
|
|
you've probably heard 'em on this show) that are *very* concerned
|
|
about the social welfare abuse system, where a child can actually
|
|
point a finger at the parents and yell, "Mommy and daddy are
|
|
treating me bad!" -- and the State's gonna come in and throw
|
|
mommy and daddy in the slammer and put the kid in a foster home!
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEARSON:
|
|
Oh sure. And what it does is, it integrates services,
|
|
regulations, databases, eligibility procedures, and funding
|
|
sources, "focusing school and community resources on prevention
|
|
and early intervention strategies, to address student needs
|
|
holistically."
|
|
|
|
Now the trouble is, is that what's happening in this country is
|
|
we are having Marxism imposed with the force of law on the
|
|
people. And Marxists believe that children should be in the care
|
|
of the State. Now the forceable removal of children is one thing.
|
|
But the coercion of the child away from the American culture and
|
|
values, their Christian, or Judeo-Christian values, is something
|
|
that I think would disturb a lot of people. And the roles of
|
|
husband and wife are something that our government has an
|
|
unhealthy interest in.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VALENTINE:
|
|
Well frankly, the federal government especially has *no* business
|
|
in *any* of these things, that you're talkin' about. The schools
|
|
should be run by the local school districts, or the people who
|
|
are sending their kids to that school oughtta run that district.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Did you know that this Feminism, that she's talking about, had
|
|
this Marxist agenda? And it's been insidious! You know, they...
|
|
What was it that somebody said? "You don't lose your freedom in
|
|
one big fell swoop. You lose it little by little." I think that's
|
|
what's happening here, Andrea.
