"Tom DeWeese established the American Policy Center in 1988. The American Policy Center is the lobbying arm of the American Policy Foundation. During the 1997 debate on EPA's proposed new particulate standards, DeWeese sent out a fundraising letter falsely claiming that the EPA was on the verge of banning "Backyard barbecues" to gain compliance. DeWeese has claimed programs such as Outcome Based Education (OBE) are not educational rather "mind control from womb to tomb." He claimed the goal of OBE is the dumbing of American children to make them more susceptible to the influence of globalization and environmental propaganda. DeWeese claims the National Education Association is working to coordinate this "behavior modification program " with internationalists. and the NEA and "educrats" are adherents to "Dave Foreman and Sierra Club ideology."... ===========http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/personfactsheet.php?id=1158 "Tom DeWeese appears to be a right-wing, anti-globalist, isolationist, anti-environment nut. In his rants which range from fighting environmental movements (because they are really part of a plot to redistribute power and wealth away from the United States) to pagaenism in Sunday School (which is based on a minor program used by some schools which involve touching trees while blindfolded to learn more about identifying and recognizing things using senses other than sight, as well as learning about interacting with nature), Mr. DeWeese even goes so far as to suggest it is wrong to teach children to pick up litter... He is one of many examples of how ignorant people gain media influence primarily through the Internet. He is also appears to have financial ties to Phillip Morris through his organization, The American Policy Center, which publishes, among other things, the questionably EPA Watch newsletter." ========http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Talk:Tom_DeWeese
