- In order to bring about the destruction of all collective
forces except ours, we shall disable the first stage of collectivism
– the universities,
by reeducating them in a new direction.
Their officials and
professors will be prepared for their business by detailed secret
programs of action from which they will not be allowed to diverge, not
by one iota.
They will be
appointed with particular precaution, and will be placed so as to be
wholly dependent upon the government.
- We shall exclude State Law from the course of instruction
and also any material that deals with the political
mechanism. These subjects will be taught to a few dozen
persons chosen for their preeminent capacities from among those of
the initiated.
The universities
must no longer graduate weak individuals concocting plans for a
constitution. Like a comedy or a tragedy, those people are
concerning themselves with questions of policy in which not even their
own fathers ever had any power of thought.
- When large number of persons attempt to deal with issues
of administrative regulation, this creates utopian dreamers and bad
subjects. You can see this for yourselves from the example of
the universal education of the Goyim in this direction.
We must introduce all those principles into their education which have
so brilliantly broken down their harmony. But when we are in
power we shall remove every kind of disturbing subject from the course
of education and shall turn the youth into obedient children of
authority, who love the ruler as being the support and hope for peace
and quiet.
We Shall
Rewrite History
- Classicism, as with all other forms of
study of ancient history, has more bad than good examples. We
shall replace these with the study of the program of the future.
We shall erase from the memory of men, all facts of previous centuries
which are undesirable to us, and leave only those which show all the
errors of the governments of the Goyim.
The study of practical life; of the obligations of maintaining order;
of the relations of people to one another; of avoiding bad and selfish
examples which spread the infection of evil; and similar questions of
an educative nature: we will bring these to the forefront of the
teaching program. This program will be drawn up as a separate
plan for each career path or position in life, and in this way it
generalizes the teaching. This aspect of the program has
special importance...
- Each career path or position in life must be trained
within strict limits corresponding to its aim, and how it fits in with
day-to-day life.
The occasional
genius has always managed, and always will manage, to slip through into
other positions in life. But it is a big mistake to let this
rare occasional genius into ranks which are foreign to them.
They are untalented people who take over the jobs belonging to those
ranks granted by birth or employment. You know yourselves in
what manner all this has ended for the Goyim who allowed this crying
absurdity.
- In order that the ruler may be firmly seated in the hearts
and minds of his subjects, it is necessary, for the duration of his
rein, to instruct the whole nation in the schools and on the market
places about the purpose of his actions and all his beneficent
initiatives.
- We shall abolish every kind of freedom of
instruction. Learners of all ages have the right to assemble
together with their parents in the educational establishments, as if it
were a club. During these assemblies, and on holidays,
teachers will read what will pass as free lectures on social and
relationship issues, of the laws of examples, and of the philosophy
behind new theories not yet declared to the world.
These theories will be raised by us to the stage of a dogma of faith,
like as a traditional stage towards our faith. Now that I
have
completed this explanation of our program of action in the present and
the future, I will read you the principles of these theories.
- Basically, we know from many centuries of experience that
people live and are guided by ideas, and that these ideas are absorbed
by people only with the aid of education that has equal success for all
ages of growth. But of course by various methods, we shall
swallow up and confiscate the last scintilla of independence of
thought. We have been directing all thoughts towards subjects
and ideas that are useful to us, and have been doing so for a long time.
The system of bridling thought is already at work in the so-called
system of teaching by object
lessons; the purpose of which is to turn
the Goyim into unthinking submissive brutes waiting for things to be
presented before their eyes in order to form an idea of them...
In France, one of our best agents, Bourgeois, has already made public a
new program of teaching by object lessons.
