Who Controls Our Children?

Peg Luksik explains what is being imposed on our children through the government public school system and the plan to not only nationalize education, but children as well. She discusses the various programs that have been implemented which include mastery learning (and its failures), outcome-based education (OBE), criteria referenced testing, national data banks and more.

Raised in the Norristown area of Pennsylvania, Mrs. Luksik is married to Jim Luksik. They have six children, from pre-schooler to teenager. The family lives in Johnstown, PA. She is a graduate of Clarion University of Pennsylvania in Special Education and Elementary Education. She was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Humanities Degree by Stonehill College in Massachusetts in 1997.

Mrs. Luksik is the founder and Chairman of Mom's House, an alternative to abortion project which provides single parents and their children with the combination of child care and support services necessary to allow them to complete their education and escape the welfare cycle. Currently, 11 programs are open in four states, and over 300 single parents have successfully completed post-secondary educational programs using Mom's House services. Mom's house was named as a National Point of Light by President George Bush.

She is also the Chairman of the National Parents Commission, an organization dedicated to giving parents a voice in the public policy arena. National Parents is recognized as an expert in the areas of education and family issues.

Mrs. Luksik is the author, with Pamela Hobbs Hoffecker, of Outcome-Based Education: The State's Assault on our Children's Values. She has also written a book about being a parent, called, Love, Mom.

Peg Luksik is often referred to as the "Housewife from Johnstown". Although she has also been a classroom teacher, small business owner, published author, television talk show host, nationally recognized education expert, founder and chairman of a service organization with programs in four states, and chairman of a national parents organization, she is most proud of her role as wife and mother.
