Come on folks ... no one likes a good conspiracy more than I do but are we really going to once more purposely confuse terminology to make a dubious point and re-enforce our beliefs upon a false premise?
New World Order in his textbook:
In international relations theory, the term "new world order" has been used to refer to a new period of history evidencing a dramatic change in world political thought and the balance of power. Despite various interpretations of this term, it is primarily associated with the notion of global governance only in the sense of new collective efforts to identify, understand, or address worldwide problems that go beyond the capacity of individual states to solve.
New World Order as you mean it:
In conspiracy theory, the term "New World Order" (the capital letters are distinguishing) refers to the advent of a cryptocratic or totalitarian one world government.
Please don't use NWO as a misnamed "catch all" conspiracy of the gaps notion. It dilutes the value of the intended meaning.
Now ... having said all that, kudos to the kid for his inquisitiveness and intelligence, he would make an awesome ATS member.
hello
this is exactly the problem...
'new collective efforts to identify, understand, or address worldwide problems that go beyond the capacity of individual states to solve.'
how will this be done without global governance?..you yourself say that the problems are not solvable by the individual states.
i hear this argument very often and i honestly cant understand why people cant see the link...a world government doesnt automatically mean that individual countries wont exist...it simply means a global authority that has power over important areas of our day to day life...as in the EU..their power is growing every day...not many people have any insight and most people dont understand how they can influence any of the EUs decisions....this is intentional.
in a perfect world id welcome a world government....but i dont trust humans enough to accept and allow a small group of people gaining such positions of power.

Listen to what this kid has to say about the NWO, his textbook, and how the subject is treated at school.
I don't know what ATSers will think of this, not sure if already posted.
This kid is sure brave, whatever is going on.

I sort of agree, that in this case the kid's points aren't all that compelling, compared to others that could be attacked. But the premise is still valid.
The wording in that definition seems innocent enough. But look at the wording "Despite various interpretations of this term". It's another way of saying, don't listen to these ideas, they are dangerous and off-limits to you. Let us do the thinking and write the history books and interpret your reality for you. It's all part of the original goal of public education, to condition you for obedience in order to be a good worker bee for the corporate world.
I thought the camera thing was a better point. While it is a somewhat more legitimate excuse to ban phones because of the distraction in class, it is more suspicious that they specifically say no camera phones, as if they are trying to hide something.
I am only 21. I could see the radical and disturbing changes occurring in the schools at the time. The increase in rigidity, the dumbing down of material, the patronizing practices. They continue trend toward training you to get used to social control and a generally thoughtless existence.

Yes, because all kids are going to take pictures of their privates while they are in school and show them to everyone. /end sarcasm
Have you heard of sexting? obviously you have, and it happens with adults too, just as frequently with kids, its just not as heard about.
