News Flash! Georgia General Assembly Expects to
Reconvene in Mid-June
Six Democrats Cosponsor Global Health Policies for Schools
Q. Why didn’t Senate Republicans stop S.B. 102?
“The health sector needs to seek integration within the education system – not education’s adoption of health priorities. The health sector must find its cultural anchor within education and integrate its processes and outcomes…. In short, health must find its cultural anchor within the education system.”
– Global School Health Symposium, Pattaya, Thailand, 2013
S.B. 102 Unlocking the Promise Community Schools Act by Senator Emanuel Jones passed the Senate 50 – 0 on March 12th and is poised to pass this session. It must be defeated. It requires community organizations, community partners, the Department of Education, public schools/charter schools, and the State Board of Education to implement the global strategy for “a sustainable whole child school plan of wraparound services and supports.”
S.B. 102 would embrace the World Health Organization (WHO) global initiative which calls for total integration of international health projects into school systems. If this passes, Georgia students would be inculcated with global ethics, morals, and values to replace Georgia- specific and America-specific ethics, morals, and values. Over 60 leading education, health, and school health experts from 20 countries, including the United States, concocted this scheme at the 2013 Global School Health Symposium in Pattaya, Thailand.
Seventy (70) U.S. Organizations Signed onto the Scheme. The following exemplify the 70:
American Associations of School Administrators, School Librarians, School Personnel Administrators, School Counselors, and School Health; Montessori Society; UCLA Center for Mental Health in Schools; Character Education Partnership; GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian Straight Education Network); Human Rights Campaign Foundation; and Institute for Global Ethics
National Associations of Black School Educators, Gifted Children, Music Education, Elementary School Principals, School Nurses, School Psychologists, Secondary School Principals, State Boards of Education, NEA, Paideia Center, PTA, School Boards, School Social Work, Society for Public Education, and the School-Based Health Alliance
CDC Supports/Promotes WHO Strategy
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is promoting this scheme through the World Health Organization (WHO) program entitled, “Health in All Policies (HiAP).”
Online, the CDC states: “The National Prevention Strategy external icon provides a HiAP framework to guide our nation in the most effective and achievable means for improving health and well-being.” For more information about the National Prevention Strategy, CDC refers us to the Surgeon General’s website here.
ACTION – Oppose S.B. 102. It is a global scheme to infiltrate education with global health initiatives.
