Meeks Heit "Health Book" Revealed
The Brainwashing of our Children in Public Schools

A NOTE FOR when you think about your children, family, country and rights: "Every child in America entering school at the age of five is mentally ill because he comes to school with certain allegiances to our founding fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It's up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well by creating the international child of the future." --Harvard psychiatrist Chester M. Pierce, speaking as an expert in public education at the 1973 International Education Seminar

More Subversion & Brainwashing

Meeks Heit Health and Wellness Health Book
Library of Congress Catalog #97-093756
ISBN #1-086693-14-5

Definition of health

HEALTH: (n.) 1. The overall condition of an organism at a given time; 2. Soundness, especially of body or mind: freedom from disease or abnormality.

Definition of wellness

WELLNESS: (n.) The condition of good physical and mental health, especially when maintained by proper diet, exercise, and habits.

Meeks Heit Definitions

HEALTH: no definition in the back of their book for the meaning of health closest found was "HEALTH STATUS" defined as "the condition of a person's body, mind, emotions, and relationships."

WELLNESS: the quality of life that results from a person's health status.

I believe the Meeks Heit books have used their definitions of health status, which is not the conventional definition, so they could put their perverted and distorted brainwashing statements into their book. Here are other examples that were placed in their book that I feel go over and above the health definitions. This health book is riddled with lies, subversions and brainwashing. Here are some examples, some not as blatant as the weapons section, but nonetheless added up they show a pattern of two writers who are trying to brainwash our children. Most of the items are not truly health related. Even though one can place any subject under a health umbrella the selections I am bringing out does not follow - the overall condition of an organism at a given time or soundness, especially of body or mind: freedom from disease or abnormality. I reiterate the State Boards of Education have approved this book!

Meeks-Heit Test Pages

One parent in Pennsylvania is trying to stop the brainwashing of his children by the government school system. The following 4th-grade test pages were sent to me by a parent who became aware of the Meeks Heit "Health" curriculum.

The students were instructed that they may complete the tests as homework, but the pages must be brought back to school and cannot be brought home again until the end of the school year.
