The American Founders understood and insisted upon education as; forming persons capable of recognizing truth, moral obligation and the antecedent principles upon which republican self-government depends. Bloom’s Taxonomy relocates pedagogical attention from what the learner must recognize as true and binding (essential and requisite for self governance, public service and public office) - to - what the learner can demonstrably do, instrumentally, with knowledge. That sleight of hand pedagogical operation substitutes ‘assessed cognitive performance’ (on enemy terms when they control your Education System) - for - the formation of rightly ordered judgment in accord with constitutive governing grammar. And it performs this bait & switch without ever declaring the governing educational end to have been abandoned‼️. Your enemies foreign and domestic are thereby educating generations of citizens, future public servants and public office holders to unwittingly fail to uphold and defend their own Constitution and National Security in practise. To facilitate its destruction from within and By Their Own Hand. Clever, highly educated students can thereby analyze, synthesize and evaluate e.g. the Declaration of Independence (and other non negotiable constitutive governing Deposits) without ever recognizing their constitutive authority, even though those deposits often remain in the curriculum. The modern pedagogy no longer requires the learner(s) to recognize what is binding about any of it. The substance is removed by this means of pedagogical and epistemological warfare - yes - it has always been warfare, not neutral intellectual theory. It was not a well meaning error. It was a deliberate deployed mechanism, a negation tool. The governing pedagogical operation is Substitution Without Declaration. There wasn’t even a ‘misportraying’. A thing is what it does. Regarding Bloom’s bullshit - it was always only ever a tool for subverting and destroying America from within THROUGH the arm of warfare you and I know as…..Education. Read it and weep:

1967.

1988. Dr. Donald A. Cowan asked a leading question during a forum at the Dallas Institute of humanities and culture: "What will take the place of logic, fact, and analysis in the coming age? The central way of thought for this new era will be imagination. Imagination will be the active, creative agent of culture, transforming brute materials to a higher more knowable state . . . ."
1956. In Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, The Classification of Educational Goals, Professor Bloom wrote, ". . . a large part of what we call good teaching is the teachers ability to attain affective objectives through challenging the students' fixed beliefs and getting into discuss issues." generative themes dialogic practice struggle sessions affirmation
