In 1946, The Teacher and World Government, written by former editor of the National Education Association Joy Elmer Morgan, was published. In it Morgan writes: "In the struggle to establish an adequate world government, the teacher...can do much to prepare the hearts and minds of children for global understanding and cooperation...At the very heart of all agencies which will assure the coming of world government must stand the school, the teacher, the organized profession."
According to the global establishment, children in the past were just too nice. For this reason, the International Congress on Mental Health (United Nations), took it upon themselves back in 1948, to bring to an end this era of goodness. They produced a statement entitled, "Mental Health and World Citizenship", which declared, "Social institutions such as the family and school impose their imprint early in the personality development of their members, who in turn tend to perpetuate the traditional patterns. It is the man and woman in whom these patterns of attitude and behavior have been incoporated who present the immediate resistance to social, economic, and political changes. Thus, prejudice, hostility, or excessive nationalism may become deeply embedded in the developing personality without awareness on the part of the individual concerned and often at great human cost."
The movement has continued on from its meager beginnings, and well just look at today's killer kids; you know they've changed things for the better. The United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organization, thinks we need to go further to, "Encourage an understanding of others, a sense of responsibility, empathy, and readiness to cooperate. Introduce an international or global perspective in primary schools...to be incorporated into existing curricula wherever possible." (UNESCO, 1983)
