Bill would mandate university accreditation
of UN-sponsored agenda
Rep. Todd Smith (R-Euless) didn't do his “homework” before he filed a bill mandating colleges and
universities to grant college credits to students receiving the International Baccalaureate (IB)
Diploma. His HB 130 is pending in the House Higher Education Committee and should stay there.
Rep. Smith states that the IB program isn’t controversial and that criticisms of the program are
unfounded. We think most people would agree that it IS controversial and we believe criticisms
ARE founded.
The UN-sponsored organization teaches a mission driven curriculum as stated on their own
website. George Walker, IB’s director-general, based in Geneva, Switzerland, says the program is
committed to changing children’s values so they think globally, rather than in “parochial national
terms from their own country’s viewpoint…”
It’s no surprise that the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) is a member of the Earth
Charter - an earth-centered declaration which venerates global political-ethical-moral and spiritual
unification. The IBO is in good company along with such groups as the Association of World
Citizens, Friends of the Earth, Global People's Assembly, Rain Forest Action Network, the US
branch of the United Nations Association, and the World Parliament of Religions.
Mikhail Gorbachev compared the Earth Charter with "those 10 or 15 Commandments which we all
know about..." which becomes the “new global Testament” for curriculum. Currently the IBO is
working to incorporate their propaganda into these curriculum areas: Theory of Knowledge,
Environmental Systems, Environmental Science, Technology and Social Change, Peace and
Conflict Studies, Experimental Science, Philosophy, Geography, History, Math, and the Arts.
The IBO was founded and is functioning as a “social change” entity linked to the UN and many of it
propaganda enterprises. And as we at AFP Foundation and before that at Citizens for a Sound
Economy Foundation have known for years, there is no doubt that a global curriculum exists, and
that theirs is a mission that is diametrically opposed to a representative republic governed by
people with inalienable rights. Our members have overwhelmingly agreed.
So why does Rep. Smith think the IB program is not controversial and that criticisms are
unfounded? Perhaps he has not heard from enough of us who have concerns that our individual
liberties and prosperity are being hijacked by "global government" advocates. Contact Rep. Smith
