Ezola Foster The Onslaught on Education MUST WATCH

From the 1990s. This lady is incredible and sooooo right Full Transript below:
Ezola Foster speaks about her trials and tribulations as a public school teacher. She also touches on leaders in the black community and how they go against America's founding principles.
Ezola was teaching elementary school in 1965 in inner city Los Angeles when the first ESEA was passed during Johnson's "war on poverty." Replacing the proven reading of phonics with the unproven whole language caused illiteracy rates to soar.

[Applause] to be around people that I can relate
0:15
with I'm usually arguing or debating when I make appearances so it's really wonderful to be here I started teaching
0:24
in 1963 at Watts David Starr Jordan High School and this
0:31
school has really rich history this is a school that was used for busing in Los
0:38
Angeles this was a school that started all of these social programs that we
0:45
have today after the 1965 Watts Riots and the Macomb commission came in and
0:53
decided that one of the causes of the rise was poor quality education and that
0:59
our poor minority our poor disadvantaged and our ghetto and our at-risk children
1:06
needed special programs now I say that because I am so happy that no one told
1:13
me when I was growing up poor that I was at risk and there's a reason that all of
1:20
these euphemisms are placed on our children and it's kind of funny because as I
1:25
think about all the euphemisms that are used I'm reminded of when Winston
1:31
Churchill came to America and a luncheon buffet was given in his honor at which
1:36
Fried Chicken was served and Mr Churchill went up for a second helping and he said may I have a breast
1:43
and his Hostess said oh no Mr Churchill in America it's either dark meat or
1:50
white meat so the next morning Mr Churchill sent his Hostess a beautiful
1:55
corsage with the note I'd be much obliged if you pinned this to your white
2:01
meat and this is the kind of thing that's happening in America these kind of
2:06
euphemisms the reason that these labels are put on our children is because the
2:12
government can then give more money to the schools and the schools can then incorporate more and more programs now
2:21
all of us know how well Phonics work so why is it the schools are not using
2:26
it well because so much money comes in that they experiment with our children
2:33
and that's where your whole language and all that looks uh same method that's
2:38
where it comes from as a matter of fact only recently our governor in California had to bribe the school bureaucracy
2:47
there by saying that if they use phonics he'll give them more money
2:54
and money is really the big problem we have here because the 1965 as a result
3:00
of the Macon condition we were given the elementary and secondary Education Act
3:06
this act is what we have today title one
3:11
chapter one the food program and I tell you these government schools they
3:18
started off Kenny Gordon was not early enough for them to take our children from us they then have child development
3:25
and preschool and of course they use tragedies among families to implement
3:31
even more of their socialist problems of course it was a tragedy that led to
3:37
the latchkey you know the latchkey laws and what did they say we need to keep
3:42
the schools open longer so the children would have a place to play or someone could watch them well if you
3:50
knew what was going on in your schools during the day in government schools you would not have your children there at
3:57
all now in the 33 years that I've been teaching I have seen many many many programs come in when I started in 1963
4:05
it was called values clarification kind of funny to me because my values
4:11
were very clear moral absolutes individual responsibilities civic duty
4:18
and so as I said in that teacher's meeting I kept wondering what do they mean values clarification
4:26
and like most teachers the program as is presented sounds good
4:32
and you don't really know what it means until after it has been implemented and
4:38
it sets in what values clarification meant was that our children were to
4:44
develop their own value system which means that they have a valueless system
4:50
and of course a year before I started teaching we had that 1962 congressional
4:57
act that took God out of our schools and the big lie that was used well we
5:04
have to separate school and religion we have to separate uh church and state and
5:09
this type of thing we know that that is not the reason that
5:15
God was taken out of our schools but it was more than just taking God out it was taking a sense of principles a set of a
5:22
sense of direction for our young children to direct their young lives
5:29
after values clarification I went on to see one program after the other we have
5:35
peer counseling where students are referred to a particular counselor who
5:43
is especially trained for this the students are referred by their teachers
5:50
for whatever reason that the child is not responding to the teacher maybe the
5:57
child has come to class red-eyed like I'm looking after my trip today and the
6:02
teacher assumes that the child is on drugs uh the child may sleep in class and the
6:09
teacher will assume that the child is having some kind of problems and then they are referred to the pure counseling
6:16
what the counselor does is ask them personal questions of what's going on in
6:21
the home and if there's any reason for a referral to Child Protective
6:29
Services that's where you find a lot of parents in a lot of homes that are being broken up from peer counseling we went
6:37
from one program to the other and of course you are familiar with outcome
6:42
based education what does that mean it simply means that the children will show
6:50
a certain Behavior and as a result of that behavior that's
6:57
acceptable to the schools the child will then be given a certificate because
7:03
they're going to do away with diplomas and that certificate will
7:09
allow them to work which gives us our school to work and school to careers
7:15
bill now that was just passed this past April but like many of these other
7:21
programs before it even gets to you it's already been decided
7:26
and that's true with your school boards one of the ways that I got involved in
7:32
um speaking out was in 1987 February of 87 the California State
7:40
Department of Education decided that they would begin teaching homosexuality in our Public Schools grades
7:47
kindergarten through 12. and so I organized a group of parents from Watts
7:53
we called ourselves black Americans for two reasons one we were all black and
7:58
two that was the way to get the media because at that time if you had black or Africa in front of your name they'd come
8:03
out and so as our group began to argue and we presented a testimony as to how
8:11
this is not what's in the best interest of our children it didn't matter because
8:16
as I said it was already decided so from that in 87 we now have coming
8:25
out day in our schools but even before then in in the mid 70s we have what's
8:32
called project 10 that was instituted in our schools now if this program is not
8:37
in public schools here believe me it is on its way I've been talking to small
8:44
districts on my tour and I'm finding out that all
8:49
of these programs that begin in the belly of the Beast Los Angeles Unified
8:54
School District the second largest District in the nation and then expressed throughout America
9:00
well project 10 is a homosexual recruitment program and it was started
9:08
by a lesbian high school counselor in Los Angeles who was entrusted with the
9:13
weekend care of a young student a weekend competition had an affair with a
9:18
girl and then decided from that that 10 percent of all of our students were homosexual and so therefore a counseling
9:26
program was was to be instituted it's not a counseling program it's a recruitment program and I'll tell you
9:34
how it works I had an experience with it now I must say here there are many many fine teachers out there there are many
9:41
good principals many times principals try to ignore some of these programs
9:46
because they know in their heart that it's wrong project 10 have been around as I said
9:52
since the mid 70s but at the particular school at which I was teaching uh past
9:58
11 years two years ago it became very popular on our campus Because
10:04
homosexuals became onto our staff and they promoted it and I happen to have
10:10
done a show that was entitled should homosexuals have the right to marry and raise children
10:15
and my students saw me on the show as they always do they want to talk about
10:20
it and so we took a few moments to talk about and they asked me how did I feel about project 10 and I told them well a
10:28
few days later the director of project 10 walked into my classroom and he said
10:34
he wanted to talk with me so I thought we would walk outside of the door have a
10:39
private conversation but he stopped me in the middle of the floor in front of my class and he said I understand you
10:44
said thus and so about project 10. I said yes I said that and I'll tell you
10:51
what else I said and I gave him my full opinion so when he walked out of the room the students applaud it and I said
10:59
why are you doing that you already know my feelings about project 10 and they said oh no Mrs Foster
11:05
we want you to know that we have to go to his classroom for our math classes
11:12
and on the wall in his classroom he has these huge pictures and posters of
11:18
half-naked men in sexually allowing positions some during your kissing and
11:23
it's so embarrassing we can't concentrate on our map I said have you told your parents well many of their
11:30
parents are here illegally and don't get involved instead have you told your other teachers
11:36
but other teachers tell us we must be tolerant so I went to the principal and he told
11:43
me to mind my own business now my students are my business whether they're here legally or not as long as they're
11:48
under my charge I'm going to treat them right so what I did I went to the room
11:54
to check for myself not only were the pictures up there but then he had copies
11:59
of homosexual papers in which they were advertising for young boys teenage boys
12:07
I could not get anywhere for getting these posters Off the Wall until I went to the media and brought the media in
12:14
and then the posters came down but I'm gone now so I'm sure they're up again
12:19
and the reason that you have this is because you have your gay and lesbian conditions on your school boards and in
12:27
your teachers unions and they are there to promote their political agenda and
12:33
now today we have what's called coming out day where teachers stand before their
12:39
classes Kenny Garden Kenny Garden through 12th grade announced that
12:45
they're homosexual they bring their mate in with them to talk about their lifestyle they wear t-shirts I'm not gay
12:52
my boyfriend is and they're actually encouraging our children to emulate a
12:58
very dangerous and unhealthy lifestyle you might ask where are the parents on
13:05
this well you know we have in our schools today what I call Professional parents
13:13
and many of your so-called inner city schools they have an office on campus
13:19
and they are there to take care of the complaints of good loving decent caring
13:26
parents these professional parents handle their complaints so that they can free the principal from
13:34
having to listen to it are they act for the school board and it used to be that the PTA was a
13:41
volunteer group of parents that would come in we have paid parents
13:47
some of them make even more than teachers and they are lobbyists and as I said earlier these programs are
13:55
already decided before the parents even feel the school board it doesn't matter if they feel the school boards they go
14:01
to these meetings and they want their voices to be heard doesn't matter how much they complain
14:07
it's already been decided and what the school boards will do if they see these
14:13
parents out there then they put put the item off of the agenda longer and longer
14:20
parents may get there at three o'clock because that's the time it's supposed to be heard nine o'clock at night they're
14:27
still waiting for them to hear it so they have all kind of strategies to undermine the parents
14:34
and of course there are many reasons that we have the ills and education that we have today
14:40
now it started long before I entered into the um the teaching profession
14:47
and we can thank the psychologists and psychiatrists with their experimental
14:53
programs on our children and whether it's Skinner or Dewey or Klondike their
14:59
theory was that man has no soul no conscious
15:05
and only react to stimuli and that is the way they have been
15:10
teaching and treating our children but since I have been in the school
15:17
system I blame political movements of the 60s for what's happening in our
15:22
schools today and I'm talking about the Chicano movement the homosexual movement the feminist
15:30
movement and the black movement now how have they impacted our schools your
15:36
Chicano movement now have us with an open border policy they have our schools overcrowded due to
15:44
Illegal immigration they have precious funding going mostly for bilingual
15:51
education that's the biggest funding gold pop there is and to tell you the truth that is why you heard of this
15:58
ridiculous notion Ebonics it was nothing more than about money
16:04
all that meant was that you see before Ebonics
16:10
black teachers and black students were considered Americans and they spoke
16:17
English so they couldn't dip their fingers into this bilingual gold part
16:23
well it was decided then that no we're not
16:29
black we're Africans and no we don't speak English we speak ebonics and as a
16:35
result they got the funding now I was State co-chair along with Senator Ray
16:41
Haynes from California to try to stop ebonics and I say that because Senator Haynes was white if I had to depend on a
16:50
black elected official to have helped me to stop this it would have been dead to
16:55
begin with and they did defeat it and they are now getting money for this ridiculous program that demeans black
17:03
children then you have your feminist movement and what have they given us
17:10
they now have abortion referrals coming from our Public Schools through these
17:16
so-called health clinics which are nothing more than sex clinics and by the way the latest to be
17:22
introduced for all of these programs is called Healthy Start just started in Los Angeles now doesn't
17:29
that sound good A Healthy Start who would not want a healthy start
17:34
what that means now is that we're going to have full-time nurses and full-time doctors on our school campuses so your
17:42
children won't have to tell you that they have an arrow disease or any other problems everything will be taken care
17:48
of right there at school and also they are now setting it up
17:54
where all of the social services agencies are on campus so that if these parents are not yet signed up for a
18:01
social program they will get it and I don't know how many of you have these food programs in your um school lunch
18:08
programs they're called even though they're serving them breakfast as well as lunch and watch out they'll be
18:13
serving them dinner too before it's over with but all of this these lunch
18:18
programs you know when it started out with that 1965 Elementary and secondary
18:24
Education Act it was supposedly because poor children couldn't learn because
18:32
they were hungry if that's not the most insulting thing about poor you know
18:39
being one who grew up poor let me tell you something being poor means your pockets are empty not your mind
18:47
poor children can be trained and educated as well as any other
18:52
if they're taught properly but again all of this was to get the government more and more involved and to
19:00
undermine the parents now I know that your billery
19:05
Administration has already told you that it takes a village to raise a child
19:13
it takes parents whose authority is not undermined by mental and socialist
19:19
government as what we have now in Washington that's what it takes
19:30
and so we have had such a kind of movement and the feminist movement and
19:36
of course the homosexual movement and I've already told you how much influence they have now in our public schools and
19:42
not only that throughout our society whoever would have thought that we would have to
19:48
define marriage and this is what they've done to us
19:54
but most importantly and the one that really really irks me more than any
20:00
others is the black movement and isn't it ironic that the very group
20:07
of people who were brought to America as slaves are being used today to enslave
20:13
all of Americans now that really hurts me being a member of that race and seeing how this
20:21
happened now I have to tell you I really don't remember going from being colored to
20:26
negro but I grew up in the 40s and 50s as a negro it wasn't anything
20:32
denigrating to us all it meant was that our ancestors were brought to America through the slave trade from Africa
20:39
so we didn't think anything NATO we still looked forward to the American dream and America was home to us
20:47
we thank them for coming over here I know I do I'm sorry how they came here but I thank God that they did come
20:53
there's no way in the world I would want to be any place on the African continent today which is something else
21:01
here you have our young children being told that they're African-Americans and
21:06
you ask them what country they're from and they don't even know Africa is a continent and not a country
21:12
and that's the kind of Lies that's going on in our government schools today and
21:18
is being promoted by these political groups because all of these groups I mentioned to you all work together
21:24
they support each other if they're having a rally they all come or if they are standing together on an
21:31
issue whatever the issue may be affirmative action illegal immigration doesn't matter they all coalesce as one
21:39
now when I talk about black leaders which is what I'm going to discuss because I want you to know why you have
21:46
multiculturalism and diversity in our schools today and why you have
21:51
corporations that's demanding that their workers uh learn about diversity
21:58
which is so ridiculous I've been on this Earth more than half a century and as long as I've been in America it's always
22:04
been diverse so I've been wondering what do they mean by that but what they mean is that they want to divide us
22:11
they want to divide America and keep Americans hating each other
22:18
and they're teaching our children hatred and disdain for America by teaching them
22:24
every other culture but their own there's only one culture that should be
22:30
taught in American schools and that's American culture
22:38
at any rate growing up as a negro you know we really didn't have a kind of
22:44
hatred that I see today I can remember in high school like high school children
22:49
today will maybe go to the mall and win those shop well we would leave our high
22:55
school and we go downtown to the big expensive stores and Windows shop and
23:01
there you have the colored only and the white only drinking fountains and I can remember we well you know in
23:08
high school your little Rebels anyway so we would drink from the white fountain and the sales clerks would say now you
23:14
know you're supposed to drink colored water and we say we wanted colored water we drink Kool-Aid and they would laugh
23:22
we'd all laugh about it but if you would listen to the Black leaders today you
23:27
would think we were Lynch for not drinking out of the colored only Fountain and I'm saying that to make the
23:32
point that even though you had laws that separated the people
23:39
segregation Jim Crow laws the people themselves did not hate each other the
23:45
way our children are being taught to hate other races today and that is the difference and that's how I grew up as a
23:52
negro but then when I was leaving college and then in the 60s our name was
23:57
changed to Black Americans and the reason for that that was the height of the black political movement
24:04
and so all of us then were to show that we acted as one whether we were colored
24:11
or negro or black so from then on we became known as black Americans
24:16
well then when the media began to cover the fight against apartheid in South
24:22
Africa the Reverend ain't Jesse Jackson called the press conference and told the
24:27
media from non refer to us as African Americans that's how we became
24:33
African-Americans and the purpose for that was so that all of us would be in
24:39
Goose step with the African National Congress simple as that
24:45
but again look at what it has done to our children and in our schools
24:52
and some of our public schools and these so-called inner city schools or minority
24:57
schools you would be hard-pressed to find Old Glory flying in the classroom at all
25:04
but you will see foreign Flags and for us they make up a flag
25:10
and they call it an African-American flag they make up an African-American Pledge
25:16
of Allegiance they make up a culture and I'm talking about Kwanzaa
25:23
a made-up culture but it's been so accepted with by so
25:29
many people even Texaco got in trouble for not recognizing it as a legal holiday for their employers
25:37
totally made up I worked with the gods of school who made it up at the time in the 60s he formed an
25:44
organization called U.S United slaves he and his United slaves had a shootout
25:50
with the black panthers in the cafeteria of UCLA in which two people were killed
25:55
later he was sentenced for torturing two of his female followers
26:00
he resurfaced changed his name now he's head of the black studies Department in
26:07
one of our major universities in California sprue and more hatred and you know when we talk about these
26:15
black history classes and African-American studies that's nothing more than again promoting
26:22
hatred and there's not very much truth as any at all in some of the studies that they
26:29
give these young people but how do we get to all of this
26:37
now you will hear me talk about the black leaders tonight and I want you to know exactly who I'm talking about I'm
26:44
talking about the NAACP the Urban League the southern Christian
26:50
leadership conference the Congressional Black Caucus the Reverend ain't Jackson
26:56
and his group and Calypso Lloyd and his Nation of Islam now people kind of like
27:02
when I say Calypso Lloyd but he is a Calypso singer-turned Muslim minister
27:08
and so he he knows how to charm people he knows how to entertain people and
27:14
once he snares them in he begins to sprue his hatred and he's already told us he wants a
27:20
separate nation a separate state in America and I tell you with this biller
27:27
Administration giving away so much of what we have to the United Nations I wouldn't be surprised if we woke up one
27:32
morning he would give one of our Estates away because he loves to play that race card Clinton plays the race card better
27:38
than anyone I've seen now the South African-American flag
27:46
you may have seen it if you watch the militia Man March back in 1995 in our
27:51
nation's capital I know you may think it was the Million Man March but it was the militia Man March what it was you see
28:00
when when Jackson brought Farrakhan to prominence in 84.
28:06
Farrakhan made the statement there's going to be a race war in America and young black gang members will be used
28:13
nobody said anything I was at the same time that Jackson
28:18
offended uh the Jews and so of course the Jewish leaders just
28:25
jumped right on that issue but not one black organization said anything when
28:31
Farrakhan said that few months later in early 1985 Libya's
28:36
Gaddafi gave Farrakhan 5 million dollars with that money from 1985 to 1995
28:46
Farrakhan bought out forums and Convention centers throughout America to
28:51
sprue his hatred and then he showed what that million dollars five million
28:59
dollars bought by having his Million Man March I happen to have been sitting in CNN
29:06
Studios at the time that they covered this March and while I was waiting to be interviewed Leon Harris was CNN of CNN
29:13
interviewed a and a blood and there they were with their caps the common
29:20
Revolution the Aurora Uprising next time
29:25
and they told Leon Harris the reason we did what we did to our community
29:31
is because of lack of leadership and that's why we're here for Minister Farrakhan ladies and gentlemen let me
29:38
tell you what these little hoodlums did to the community they beat maim and kill innocent
29:46
children besides selling drugs to them some of these children were killed
29:53
excuse me sitting in their own living rooms watching television that's what they did and who were their
30:01
leaders as they did this the most powerful politician in the
30:06
state of California at the time some say even more than the governor Willie Brown black
30:12
their congressional representative at the time Augustus Hawkins black they're
30:18
a state senator black their State Assembly representative murky Waters
30:24
known to you as Maxine their mayor Tom Bradley
30:31
their city council representative have been on the council so long he was known as the emperor now with all of that
30:39
leadership over Watson South Central Los Angeles you would think we'd have the closest
30:45
knit families the highest achieving schools and the
30:51
safest streets no what we had we had U.S news and World
30:58
Report time Newsweek magazine all writing about us because we were known as The Killing Fields
31:05
the war zone this is Beirut USA and here were these gangsters who
31:13
terrorize the community talking about lack of leadership it's the wrong kind of leadership that's
31:20
really what it was and so what they're doing is that
31:25
they're turning children against each other there's hardly a month goes by in Los Angeles there's not a fight between
31:31
blacks and whites or or blacks and Mexicans or you name it
31:36
they are fighting because they're being taught all of this hatred and this is the problems that that we're
31:43
having in our in our government schools now when I talk about all of these uh
31:50
political movements again recognize that they are in the schools
31:55
they're ingrained they're not going anyplace so that's why we need to take our
32:02
children out if they are in there and I compliment those of you who are homeschooling those of you who have your
32:09
children in private schools and Christian schools because your children will be our hope for tomorrow
32:17
now I know that um many times I'm asked gee all of this is so horrible what are
32:25
we gonna do what we need to do we need to recognize that all of these
32:32
programs that's causing the problems that we're facing in our schools today come from the United Nations education
32:41
scientific and cultural organization UNESCO
32:47
and as long as we remain in the United Nations we will continue to go downhill
32:52
until they have totally controlled us and we're not too far away from that now I tell my atheist friends you know if we
33:00
survive Bill Clinton you've got to believe there's a God
33:05
I believe they do
33:11
now some people may think well you know I'm saying this because of political
33:17
affiliation when I became 21 which was voting age at
33:22
the time I registered and became an active Democrat well how could I not
33:27
everybody in my community we're Democrats I that's all I knew sort of
33:33
reminds me of the little girl who was watching her mother prepare chicken for roasting and she asked her mother she
33:40
says mom why do you cut the Wings off the chicken before you put it in the pot and her mother said oh
33:47
I saw my mother do it so I just do it and so the little girl went to her
33:52
grandmother and she says grandmom I asked mother why she cuts the Wings off the chicken before she puts it in
33:59
the pot and she said she does it because she saw you do it and the grandmother said well
34:04
I don't know my mother did it so I did it so fortunately for the little girl
34:09
her great grandmother was still alive and she went to her and she asked her
34:15
and she said you know I've asked my mom I've asked grandmom and they told me why
34:20
they didn't why did you did you do it and her great grandmother looked at her and she says
34:26
well the pot was too small and that's the only way I could get the chicken to fit
34:31
well you know that's how I was with us Democrats at the time everyone in the community our family were all Democrats
34:38
and so we just did it because they did it but after 17 years in the Democrat Party
34:45
I realized that they they did not represent my strong belief in God my strong belief in
34:53
America my strong belief in family so I switched parties well after 17 years in the Republican
35:01
party I have to tell you today I'm a conservative without a party and that's unfortunate
35:10
but if we really want to take care of our problems if we want America to
35:16
remain as strong as she is free then what we need to do is get out of the
35:22
United Nations because this is where all of these policies and and all of our
35:28
problems are coming from and right now our children in some schools and some of
35:36
these government schools like I told you they don't say the Pledge of Allegiance they don't have Old
35:42
Glory they don't say the pledge of allegiance to America and I think that's because the
35:48
government May find out that the children in Sam The
35:54
Pledge will realize America is a republic not a democracy and so that's
36:00
one of the reasons they have taken away the Pledge of Allegiance because they are teaching our children that we're a
36:06
democracy and our children don't know the difference our children are not being taught the
36:13
Declaration of Independence and again the children might then
36:18
realize that they are entitled to three basic rights life liberty pursuit of
36:24
happiness or property that's all and the government don't want them to know that
36:30
not your government schools because they have the children think that their
36:35
rights are for taxpayers to feed them clothe
36:40
them educate them medicate them the whole bit and of course don't
36:46
mention the constitution in our schools because then our children may realize
36:52
that we have an executive branch and a Judiciary this and a congress that's
36:58
totally ignoring our constitution so these are the reasons that this these
37:05
kind of teachings have been denied our children and I'll tell you I um I really can see
37:15
the results of this as I do some of these talk shows I happen to have done a talk show in which the audience were
37:23
mostly uh blinds and one young man called in and identified himself as such
37:28
and said that he was 30 years old and he wanted to take exception to a comment
37:33
that I had made and what I said was that I believe all of us would be a lot
37:39
better off if we simply followed two important documents the Bible and the Constitution and he
37:47
called in so irate he said now little sister and when they call me little
37:52
sister I know I'm in for bashing them he said how can you say that we aren't
37:58
even mentioning the Constitution and I said I don't know if there's any
38:03
race of people mentioning the Constitution but if there is anyone racing glad it is us
38:09
because of the two amendments that were introduced of the Constitution because of us and
38:16
then he says well you know the Constitution that part about us voting changes every 15 years
38:24
where do they get this information and if because the what's going on in
38:31
our schools it's just like the outcome-based education they're not taught right from wrong if
38:39
they don't know two and two is four perhaps they'll figure it out before they graduate because the teacher will
38:45
not dare hurt their self-esteem by telling them that they're wrong and that
38:50
and correcting them and of the the people I know with the highest self-esteem are those who know
38:57
how to read write and calculate so it's not about teaching our children
39:03
these things that are important to them it's all about what feels good to them and all about as long as they can reach
39:11
certain behaviors then fine now this school to Works bill as you
39:16
know will do away with diplomas and give our children certificates which will allow them to work and this will be true
39:23
not only for our children but for everyone and this is reaching into our private schools and our home schools
39:30
also and that's what's so very dangerous because we're not only fighting School
39:35
boards we're fighting legislations legislators also and again these groups
39:42
they get themselves into these positions where they can change laws or they can
39:48
make laws to accommodate their political agenda and we have to be aware of this
39:55
and you know with all that I've said people will say well what's the answer and the answer is what I've said get us
40:02
out of the United Nations now how can we do this Congressman Ron Paul our hero
40:09
introduced the bill to get us out of the United Nations and look at the number of
40:15
votes he got twice the amount that we had received before when this bill was
40:21
was introduced next year in 1998 we should all make it
40:28
a point that any candidate we elect to Congress
40:34
will make it top priority to get us out of the United Nations and then then we
40:41
can get back to work and strengthening our country [Applause]
40:49
you know I have to go back to uh the black leaders because they are having
40:55
such an impact on on America and I remember in 1986 Senator hire cars
41:05
sent me an article from a San Francisco paper and it was entitled why worry about Farrakhan and he attached a little
41:12
note izola I do worry now some of you may only remember Senator hire Cara for sleeping incentive
41:21
hearings but when I'm reminded of that I think of the time that when Edward
41:28
Everett Hale was chaplain of the Senate and someone asked him Dr Hale do you
41:34
ever pray for the Senators and Dr Hale responded no I look at the Senators and
41:39
I pray for the people and but I have to agree that we should
41:46
worry because these groups are acting as one and they're acting to divide America and
41:53
you were talking about one state I was in Lafayette Louisiana this two Sundays
41:59
ago October the 19th two days before I arrived that Friday and it was all on the news that weekend
42:07
the NAACP leader there had appeared before the city council because the
42:13
blacks want to secede from the northern part of Lafayette they want their own
42:19
black section now you have to wonder here is the group
42:25
that push for integration and now they want separation
42:32
when I was a junior in high school I remember that the NAACP had filed a
42:40
lawsuit to integrate the schools and it worked so the Texas legislature
42:46
said well okay we have Houston college for negro right here a few blocks away
42:53
well miles at that time we had the University of Houston and so
42:59
the Texas state legislature said well okay we'll merge the two schools and make it one large University
43:05
the NAACP said oh no we want to keep our black school so Houston college for
43:12
Negroes became Texas Southern University and that is where I got my first degree
43:18
I took my husband back there in 1990 I believe it was and I wanted him to see
43:24
where I had attended School Texas Southern University has grown so
43:30
close University of Houston have grown so close that they put up a brick wall in
43:37
the middle of the street so they couldn't get any closer Now isn't that a sad commentary but
43:44
that's how powerful these black leaders have become and I am so so disheartened
43:54
when I heard the Christian Coalition The Promise Keepers apologizing for slavery
44:02
let me tell you what that's all about folks there's a guilt feeling being put on
44:07
America and the reason is there's a bill floating around it comes
44:14
up and then they figure it's not time and so it's still floating in Congress call reparations for slavery
44:23
and so as soon as this guilt feeling has been put all across America
44:29
then it'll be time to pass the bill now let me tell you they're talking
44:34
about a million dollars for everyone whose ancestor or anyone that have negro blood in them
44:41
would be surprised of the number of people that will end up with negro blood for a million dollars
44:47
yeah but this is how crazy it has become and we do have hope because
44:56
Congress is still the people's house and this is really great times when you
45:02
look at it we have an opportunity to show the type of pioneered spirits of
45:07
our founding fathers we have an opportunity to be bold and to come
45:12
together and to fight for this nation of ours
45:18
now I hear people say well you know we have to do it incrementally hmm no
45:25
they have treated us like frogs and boiling water but we have got to jump out immediately
45:32
and turn around and say no more this is our country it's an independent nation
45:40
and this is how we want to keep it there is no hope for Education once we
45:46
get out of UNESCO get UNESCO out then we get rid of the Department of Education
45:51
get rid of the Nea don't fund these things and they will go away
45:57
but you know what I'm really disgusted at all of these big corporations and the businessmen that's allowing this to
46:05
happen that's sponsoring they're suspending all of this money these groups are well organized well funded
46:13
I I asked today you know where all of the big time millionaire Republicans and
46:20
all of them with money and they're practically given to the same groups and so these These are really big
46:28
problems for us but you know what we still
46:33
are strong enough as long as we do not let ourselves be
46:39
separated by Race by class or by any other means
46:44
because first and foremost we are Americans and this is still his favorite land and
46:52
when I say God I'm not talking about the God that was used by Farrakhan when he told the
46:59
people in Iran that God will give Muslims the honor of destroying America
47:05
I'm talking about the God that is known through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
47:11
who gave us this great country and I don't think he's going to let us
47:17
you lose it but we've got to turn to him and we've got to turn to each other and
47:23
we've got to think with our heads not our hearts and stop feeling guilty it
47:28
takes all of us working together and I'm so happy to to um to be with you tonight and I just
47:35
want to end by saying even though I'm on a speaking tour for the John Birch
47:40
Society that doesn't mean that I have to be a member of John verse Society but I am
47:48
and a very proud member at that and it was really funny because when I was in
47:53
Cleveland I was doing a radio talk show and again it was predominantly black audience and
47:59
this guy called in and he said how could a black woman like you be a member of
48:04
that Klu Klux Klan organization and I started to tell him well I'm the grand Dragoness but of course I didn't because
48:11
he probably wouldn't have taken it as a joke and I asked him and I said well what do you know about John versus
48:17
society and he says well I heard and I heard everything was I heard so I gave him the number to call 1-800 JBS usa1
48:27
and get the correct information but you know the kind of name calling that's
48:34
going on that's been going on of course I heard all of these names too racist
48:40
organization right wing organization and it was kind of funny because when I
48:45
thought back I remember when we first started off as black Americans for Family Values
48:52
the media would refer to us as a civil rights organization but the minute we
48:58
dropped the hyphen once we got established and we became Americans for
49:03
family values then we were referred to as a right wing bigoted organization and
49:10
when I was doing debates for Proposition 187 fighting against illegal immigration
49:17
during the debates with the NAACP and the Urban League representatives there
49:23
they never once used African-American everything was people of color that's
49:29
how they referred as that's the next name change on the horizon for us by the way but the thing is that I was called a
49:37
white supremacist and I thought that takes the cake what else can they call me and I knew then there there must have
49:44
been some really good things that the John birth Society is doing to be called all of those names but I really didn't
49:51
think very much about it until I happened to have appeared on Larry King live and a Gentleman Dave Jorgensen from
49:57
Salt Lake City Utah called and got my husband on the telephone and turned out they were Kindred Souls
50:04
they must have talked for about an hour and then my husband said oh well you're going to Utah you're going to speak for at this rally God country and family and
50:12
so forth and we met Dave and his family wonderful people and he took us on a tour of the Mormon Temple because they
50:19
are Mormons and then as Dave was taking us to the airport he said um I want you to read this you
50:26
know how you verses do you start giving us all this material to read books and magazines and so forth
50:32
but my husband and I just kind of glanced through we didn't really read like we should have and we just went on
50:39
and then I had a chance to do a tour a northern California tour for the society and I
50:46
met so many wonderful people minorities of all kind blacks Mexicans
50:54
uh Jews you name it all people of different religions but they all had one
51:00
thing in common the love for America and the love of God and so I was impressed
51:07
with that but my husband is not the kind to really get involved in organizations because we have been courted by so many
51:15
organizations in the many years that we've been out here fighting but we found they were all eat meet and Retreat
51:21
organizations and we didn't have that kind of time and then we noticed how the
51:26
John verse Society educates the public you don't even have to be a member to get their trim magazine to find out how
51:34
your representatives are voting now people talk all the time about the apathy of Voters and why they keep
51:41
putting the same people in well if you have a candidate that comes in and tell you that you know all of you
51:48
will have a chicken in your pot you're going to vote for them because you want the chicken but if you don't really pay
51:53
attention to what's going on and that's what I liked about the society because they put out information
52:00
whether or not your representative is following the constitution in his vote
52:05
so we were impressed with that and then finally we had a chance to visit again with Dave and his family and
52:12
this time Dave was really smart he didn't trust us to read anything he left really early for the airport that we sat
52:19
at this park bench and he had this box of material and he answered all of our
52:24
questions and we read right there with him and when we got back home my husband and I decided and we became John first
52:31
members in November of 1996. and I have to tell you this my husband is tall dark
52:37
and handsome bald head you would think he's one of those nation of his and Muslims if you saw him and you should
52:43
see him when he walks through awesome South Central where his John Birch Society shirt on everyone's oh
52:51
and they won't dare say anything to him I mean he grew up there and he knows all of the crooks too and they know him and
52:57
he's pretty tough so at any rate I just wanted to say this to you because a week before I came here
53:03
I spoke to a republican women group in Leisure World and there was a lady who
53:09
came up after us and she talked with me had a really interesting background she had worked with the FBI and undercover
53:15
for them CIA and so forth and she was complimenting me on everything that I had said but then she said to me you
53:22
know honey if I were you I wouldn't tell people I'm a member of the John first society and I said well you know what if
53:31
I were ashamed of the organization I wouldn't be a member of it I'm very proud and I want the world to know it
53:37
and I'm so happy to be here with you and again thank you very very much [Applause]
