GAGA'S BAIT AND SWITCH "Kids like Rodemeyer moved Gaga, 29, to establish the Born This Way Foundation, a nonprofit determined to show disenfranchised teens they weren’t alone -- the pop star herself had struggled with depression."

"Born This Way first sponsored the Born Brave Bus Tour, a pop-up resource center that drew 150,000 visitors in two years. But more recently, the foundation has SHIFTED ITS FOCUS to peer support and preventive initiatives, including research on YOUTH AND MENTAL HEALTH in a partnership with the YALE CENTER FOR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, and in a forthcoming collaboration with the Elton John AIDS Foundation, which will be announced soon." https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/magazine-feature/6730027/lady-gaga-billboard-cover-born-this-way-foundation-depression-philanthropy

GOVERNMENT DEFINED "MENTAL HEALTH" IS THEIR PATH TO TAKEOVER. This was heavily used in the SOVIET UNION to control dissent.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON BRIDGEPORT CONN. PUBLIC SCHOOLS RULER SCHOOL: Supported by the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence http://ei.yale.edu/school/bridgeport-public-schools-district/

"Bridgeport Public Schools is a school district headquartered in Bridgeport Connecticut, and is comprised of 30 elementary schools, three comprehensive high schools, two alternative programs and an inter-district vocational aquaculture school. The system has about 23,000 students, making the Bridgeport Public Schools the second largest school system in Connecticut"

WHAT IS A RULER SCHOOL? http://ei.yale.edu/ruler/ruler-overview/ "How RULER Becomes an Integral and Enduring Part of Your School or District RULER is an acronym that stands for Recognizing, Understanding, Labeling, Expressing and Regulating emotions."

"Phase 1 (1 year)* – The Anchors of Emotional Intelligence This first phase grounds teachers, staff, students, and families in the Anchors of Emotional Intelligence. These fundamental RULER tools enhance individuals’ ability to understand and regulate their own emotions and to consider and empathize with how others are feeling. The Anchors also foster the kind of healthy emotional climate essential to personal growth. Phase 2 (1 year)* – The Feeling Words Curriculum The second phase enables teachers to integrate RULER into a wide range of subject areas, ensuring that emotional intelligence is woven into the content of every class and throughout each student’s school day. The Feeling Words Curriculum that teachers learn to use is tailored to specific grade levels and aligned with the Common Core. Phase 3 (ongoing) — Lasting results RULER creates a self-perpetuating program by training teachers and other staff to become RULER Trainers who then teach the rest of the school what they’ve learned. As teachers are trained, they in turn teach their students, and as new teachers arrive, RULER Trainers teach them. To ensure lasting success, RULER also supports RULER Trainers with ongoing feedback, advanced training, and an online community where participants from around the world compare notes, participate in webinars, watch videos, and stay up-to-date on the latest program enhancements."

Gaga, Yale take on emotional intelligence JIAHUI HU OCT 26, 2015 https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2015/10/26/gaga-yale-take-on-emotional-intelligence/ "Gaga said BTWF chose to partner with Yale because of Brackett’s expertise in emotional intelligence. Through the partnership, BTWF leaders hoped to jointly conduct research on the mental well-being of today’s youth, Gaga said. The partnership’s research gives greater value to input from adolescents than previous studies have done, Gaga said."

"The Center applies the results of its research to classrooms through the RULER program, which trains teachers and uses classroom tools to teach emotional intelligence, said Miriam Schroers, the Center’s director of communications. Schroers added that data show RULER improves such education quality benchmarks as academic performance and teacher attrition. RULER is now in several hundreds of schools, including the entire public school district in Bridgeport, Connecticut."

THE RULER SCHOOL CURRICULUM WILL BE PART OF COMMON CORE! This means that your child will be TESTED AND GRADED ON THEIR EMOTIONS!

"The program's name is an acronym for targeted emotional skills including Recognizing, Understanding, Labeling, Expressing, and Regulating emotion. K-8 teaching materials fully integrate with the existing curriculum and align with Common Core State Standards. (Preschool and high-school programs are currently in development.)" http://www.educationworld.com/a_curr/emotional-intelligence-ruler-program-yale.shtml

COMMON CORE IS A COMPUTERIZED VERSION OF THE "Outcome Based Education" of the '70's - 90's. It is based on BLOOM'S TAXONOMY OF EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: AFFECTIVE AND COGNITIVE DOMAIN. Bloom's family came to the U.S. from THE SOVIET UNION. He infiltrated the American public school system with a COMMUNIST BASED testing system! Not only do they test for academics (cognitive domain), but also for ATTITUDES, VALUES, AND BELIEFS! (affective domain).

THIS "RULER PROGRAM" must be EXPOSED and STOPPED!

Tested on emotions? In other words, look at this picture of two men kissing, how's it make you feel? Careful, don't say nauseous, you'll get a bad grade. Sounds like mind control. "Be who we want or else"

A CRITIQUE OF TAXONOMY: AFFECTIVE DOMAIN "As a means of providing such unity to the various affective objectives they were considering for inclusion in their taxonomy, the Affective Domain authors elected to employ the concept of "internalization" as their central regulative device. Objectives then could be systematically organized along a hierarchiel continuum according to the degree that a learner could be said to have internalized attitudes, values, or affective responses. For theses writers, this concept appeared suitable not only because it permitted the construction of a "meaningful continuum," but also because it was compatible with certain theories of how affective learning takes place and it was consistent with the behavioral point of view. (p. 28) Thus, they probably felt that as long as they confined the content of their affective categories to descriptions of behavioral phenomena their affective taxonomy would rest on a reasonably secure methodological foundation. Upon close inspection, however, this does seem to be the case."

"In speaking of internalization as growth, they assert that external or environmental control progressively yields to internal control so that, in the case of acquiring affective responses, there is a gradual decrease of the former and increase of the latter. (p. 80) External control is successively replaced by internal con- trol. However, when we attempt to find out explicitly what con- stitutes these controls, the entire matter begins to take on a distinctly different form. Although there is considerable discus- sion of individuals responding to stimuli, that which is described as being internalized and is said to control behavior is not con- sidered to be a stimulus source. Instead, it appears to be a value or set of values. Values, the authors say, are successively internalized by the learner. (p. 85) As the internalization process unfolds, these values are absorbed more and more into an indi- vidual's internal controlling structure. (pp. 27-28) At the outset of the process, they merely capture the student's attention while at the end they are accepted into his interrelated view of the world. (p. 83) From this it is diiticult not to get the impression that the authors are saying that the process of internalization begins when a given value is selected from someplace exterior to the surface of the organism and then is gradually brought into its interior. Their heavy reliance upon psychoanalytic theory, as an aid in explaining their position, further supports this. They assert that the major aspect of internalization is the process of incorporating something within one's mind or body. (p. 29) To internalize values, they indicate, is to incorporate, as one's own various moral standards. (p. 89)" https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/43808/11217_2004_Article_BF00373956.pdf?sequence=1

Bloom's Taxonomy: Affective Domain "Internalizing values (characterization): Has a value system that controls their behavior. The behavior is pervasive, consistent, predictable, and most importantly, characteristic of the learner. Instructional objectives are concerned with the student's general patterns of adjustment (personal, social, emotional).
