Glenn Beck: Education standards are a Chinese-Muslim conspiracy

By Stephen C. Webster
Friday, March 29, 2013 13:10 EDT

Conspiracy theorist Glenn Beck warned viewers of his Internet channel Thursday night that a set of public education standards encouraging math and language development is actually a massive global conspiracy designed to help the Chinese and, somehow, Muslims, take over the United States.

“I believe that you are… then going to be co-ruled by a thugocracy of this part of the world, and I think it’s going to be, at least in our case, I think it’s going to be China,” Beck said as he randomly placed colored dots on a chalkboard with a drawing of a world map. “China will be the balance of our power. They will use Muslam– Islam, as the real enforcers that they will then help us, and whoever is in power will be ruled by an American. But uh, it will be a technocrat that will answer to China, and they will stomp things out and use Islam as much as they have to to get rid of anybody who’s, uh, standing up, I think.”

It’s all going to happen, Beck said, thanks to a devious indoctrination program operating in America today, by which he means the Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCS). “We are, unfortunately, in the end, going to be a third-world state,” Beck insisted. “And that’s why I think Common Core is here. Because it will train us to be a serf state. It will train us and it will keep us in order, to answer to the Chinese or whoever it is.”

The CCS is a set of math and language standards for public school students, designed to put students on the best possible trajectory for acceptance to college and a good paying job in today’s most valuable industries, particularly technology. The standards were fashioned by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. And according to Beck, those two organizations have conspired with multinational corporations to sell America out to China and Islam.
