“Nine years ago, I visited the Soviet Union. I learned Russian and taught English at the Economic Engineering Institute in Kharkov, USSR (now Ukrainia). I read several works on the Soviet theory of education and I was disturbed beyond words by how much the proposed changes in education in Missouri (called Outcome-Based Education) resemble educational theories in the now-defunct Soviet Union. Point by point I recognized similarities with the Soviet System. And the basic purpose of the Soviet System was to produce compliant working animals capable of being conformed to the goals and objectives of the communist (in this case) authorities. This is now the pathway that the State of Missouri has chosen. I challenge my fellow Missourians to look into this law, point by point, for yourselves.”
