Women of Washington

Communicating America’s Founding Principles

Women of Washington is an educational organization with a focus on understanding local, national, and global issues that are critical to our world today.

Education - Common Core and More

We are pleased to announce the introduction of WOW’s Common Core Standards Focus Group.  As the national spotlight has begun to shed more light on Common Core, which has been thrust upon our schools nationwide, we believe parents, grandparents and, frankly, all citizens would benefit by having closer scrutiny of these government-controlled standards seemingly being forced upon students.  We are fortunate to have two WOW members, Nancy Johnson, a retired teacher with extensive experience with teaching standards and Ann Streit, a Speech/Language Pathologist who has worked for more than three decades in the public school system, volunteering to keep our members informed on the misguided intent of Common Core and, how we might make an impact in our communities.  For members who want to learn more about the Common Core Focus Group, please contact [email protected].

The future of our nation, and perhaps liberty itself, is trapped in failing schools.  This is not about increased funding, smaller class sizes or better standards.  Social engineers are diligently working to destroy the intellect of the children of America, indoctrinating them to blindly accept their role as compliant cogs in the planned global socialist utopia.

Here we begin a series of articles that will look at what has been called by Charlotte Iserbyt: the Deliberate Dumbing Down of America.

Rethinking Education During the Coronavirus

March 27, 2020

And yet, there are glimmers of hope and opportunity. Across the nation, fifty million K-12 students have been sent home from school, perhaps for the rest of the school year. 
1.  Some school districts continue to provide content online for the students.  This is a wonderful opportunity for parents to sit in the "classroom" with their children and see what they are actually learning.
2.  Knowing that parents are now watching, teachers and districts will have to be more careful about the ideas they are presenting to the children.  It will be interesting to see what Comprehensive Sex Education will look like when streamed into the home...
3. Parents are finding that they need to homeschool their children and perhaps they will find that they are more than capable of teaching their own children.  Parents are learning that a day's content can often be fit into a few hours of teaching and they are getting the opportunity to reconnect with their families.

Pavlov's Children

November 10, 2017

In 1843, U.S. Representative Horace Mann went to Germany, liked what he saw and brought it home to America.  Within 50 years, the Prussian education system replaced traditional education in the U.S.  Horace was rewarded with the title of “Father of American Public Schooling.”

From Prussia - with Love?

September 8, 2017

American schools graduate legislators who don’t understand our Constitution and voters that don’t know the difference. They produce journalists that no longer seek or report on the truth. Scientists are trained to put public policy and consensus ahead of scientific method. Our schools have created a population eager to erase history in the name of “sensitivity.”

The War We Must Not Lose

September 8, 2017

The future of our nation, and perhaps liberty itself, is trapped in failing schools.  This is not about increased funding, smaller class sizes or better standards.  Social engineers are diligently working to destroy the intellect of the children of America, indoctrinating them to blindly accept their role as compliant cogs in the planned global socialist utopia.  

Here we begin a series of articles that will look at what has been called by Charlotte Iserbyt: the Deliberate Dumbing Down of America.  This series will address the war which is being waged against our nation, using our children who are being held captive in schools that have replaced the teaching of facts with operant conditioning and thought with indoctrination.  This is a war against our children; a war against our values.  This is a war we must not lose.

A Sense of Entitlement

March 19, 2017

Carol M. Swain, a political scientist at Vanderbilt University,considers Islam a dangerous religion that is incompatible with Western notions of freedom. She calls the Black Lives Matter movement a "very destructive force." She has suggested that the women who marched on Washington were "fighting for the selfish right to kill their unborn babies.

"Such views have made the Christian conservative Republican an outlier in the upper precincts of academe. At Vanderbilt, where she has been a professor of political science and law since 1999, students called her a bigot and petitioned for her suspension.
