From the mid-1950s onward, NTL put the majority of the nation's corporate leaderships through such brainwashing programs, while running similar programs for the State Department, the Navy, the Department of Education, and other sections of the federal bureaucracy. There is no firm estimate of the number of Americans who have been put through this process in last 40 years at either NTL, or as it is now known the NTL Institute for Applied Behavioral Sciences, which is based in Rosslyn, Virginia, or its West Coast base of operations, the Western Training Laboratories in Group Development, or in various satellite institutions. The most reliable estimate is in the several millions.

One of the groups that went through the NTL mill in the 1950s was the leadership of the National Education Association, the largest organization of teachers in the United States. Thus, the NEA's outlook has been "shaped" by Tavistock, through the NTL. In 1964, the NTL Institute became a direct part of the NEA, with the NTL setting up "group sessions" for all its affiliates. With funding from the Department of Education, the NTL Institute drafted the programs for the training of the nation's primary and secondary school teachers, and has a hand as well in developing the content of educational "reforms," including OBE [Outcome Based Education].

Early History of the National Educational Association

The NEA had its early beginnings in 1857 when 43 teachers met in Philadelphia. They chose the name National Teacher's Association. By 1870, three groups merged to form the National Educational Association. They were the National Teacher's Association, the Association of School Superintendents, and the American Normal School Association. The NEA was incorporated under a federal charter as tax-exempt in 1906. The NEA did little until 1919 when it moved its headquarters to Washington, D.C. In the capital the NEA could lobby for its goals and could also work WITH the Federal Government.

After World War I, American Freemasonry began lobbying the Federal government for federally funded public schools. Mackeys' Encyclopedia of Freemasonry outlines the story: "The Supreme Council Southern Jurisdiction, United States of America, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite in 1920 openly declared itself in favor of the creation of a Department of Education with a Secretary in the President's cabinet..." Mackey further informs us that the Scottish Rite was responsible for 'the passage of what was then known as the Smith-Tower Educational Bill embodying the principle of Federal Aid to the Public Schools in order to provide funds for the equalization of educational opportunities to the children of the nation. The Brethren declared their belief in the compulsory attendance of all children upon the Public Schools..." (Public Schools").

In this article, Mackey reminds the Brotherhood that when compulsory education becomes a reality, Masons are to encourage parents to make the schools so efficient "that their superiority over all other schools [meaning Church related schools] shall be so obvious that every parent will have to send his children to them..." ("Public Schools").

In the 1920s, 33rd degree Mason Earl Warren was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of California. He had not yet received his appointment as Chief Justice to the Supreme Court. In his 1936 annual message to the Brethren in California, he said:

"...the education of our youth can best be done, indeed it can only be done, by a system of free public education. It is for this reason that the Grand Lodge of California, ever striving as it does TO REPLACE darkness with light, is so vitally interested in the public schools of our state. By DESTROYING PREJUDICE, [meaning Christianity] and planting REASON in its place it prepares the foundation of a liberty-loving people for free government..." (Fisher, p. 176).

Masonic Public Schools in America

American Freemasonry was involved in free secular education from the beginning of our Republic. Mackey's Encyclopedia of Freemasonry provides a complete history of Masonic involvement in the creation of the American system of public education.

In "Freemasonry and Public Schools," Mackey reports on all the Masonic educational activity during the 1800s, including the founding of Masonic colleges and fraternities. In 1809 in New York state, "Brother Dewitt Clinton founded the New York Free School Society, which later became the Public School Society of New York. He was Chairman of the Board of Trustees and very active until his death in 1828" ("Public Schools," Mackey S' Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Vol.11). Clinton was also a member of the American branch of the Illuminati. He served as Grand Master of the New York Lodge from 1806 until 1820 and was for eight years Governor of New York State.

Mackey tells how state funding of schools evolved: "The Free School was from the start supported by voluntary donations; but as the legislature began to recognize the value of the work that was accomplished, sums of money were granted. About the end of 1817, the Free School was formally established under the supervision of the State and further support from the Masonic Fraternity was no longer required" ("Public Schools," Mackey).

By the mid-1850s, Freemasonry began a drive to control schoolteachers by the establishment of a professional association for the same. The Scottish Rife was the primary force behind the founding of the National Education Association (NEA) in 1857, which today is a powerful professional union and political lobby (Fisher, p.144).
