The International Baccalaureate Organization & Secular Humanism

Secular Humanism (the root of Communism) vies for total control of education. Secular Humanism is the dominant worldview in our secular colleges and universities. Secular Humanism promotes; the Theology of Atheism; the Philosophy of Naturalism; the Ethics of Ethical Relativism; the Biology of Darwinian Evolution; the Psychology of Monistic Self-Actualization; the Sociology of World State Society; the Law of Positive Law (man-made laws which bestow or remove specific privileges upon an individual or group); the Politics of Globalism; the Economics of Socialism; and the History of Historical Evolution.

The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) promotes these Secular Humanist perspectives as International Education that is marketed for use in primary and secondary schools worldwide.

“Helping young people to become fully human is something that the IBO can foster if, of course, the leadership is there to confront the challenges that will come from the relativists and the fundamentalists. We need to be helping our young people to be compassionate, caring, ethical individuals. This will mean helping them to make distinctions between what is right and wrong; just and unjust; true and false; good and evil.” – Dr. Peter Vardy on “Values Education” at the 2006 IBO International Conference in Hanoi.

Personal issues such as attitudes and values become subject to non-negotiable IBO dictates. The President of the IB council of Foundation, Monique Seefried has stated: “As an organization, the IBO is an independent organization and an organization of choice. No school has to take on our programs, and if they do, they choose to embrace our values and to abide by them. If they don’t, they don’t need to belong to our communities of schools…”

At the Continuum of International Education (2002) IBO identified their source of values: “In developing an awareness of the diverse values of different cultures. It is, however, fundamental that students in each IBO program are exposed to those human values which are recognized as universal; these are embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted and proclaimed by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1948.”

The IBO Goals and Mission Statement that follow fit very nicely into the Secular Humanist prospective. “The International Baccalaureate (IB) is more than its three educational programmes. At our heart we are motivated by a mission to create a better world through education. We value our hard-earned reputation for quality, for high standards and for pedagogical leadership. We achieve our goals by working with partners and by actively involving our stakeholders, particularly teachers. We promote intercultural understanding and respect, not as an alternative to a sense of cultural and national identity, but as an essential part of life in the 21st century. All of this is captured in our mission statement.”
“ The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right”.

The IBO unashamedly admits that it is a Secular Humanist Organization. Its ties with other Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) such as the United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA), United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the World Bank further identify IBO as such.

The humanistic system of values has now become the predominant way of thinking in most of the power centers of society. Universities, news media, entertainment industry, judiciary, federal bureaucracy, business, medicine, law, psychology, sociology, arts, Congress and now our public schools at the primary and secondary level through the implementation of IB.

But as admirable as the Humanists’ initiative is, and as far reaching as their impact has been, their efforts will only serve a destructive purpose if their fundamental belief system is wrong. Good intentions are not enough; these intentions must be based upon truth. As a Christian I believe that Humanist at all levels and especially those that pursue and push the IB program are leading society in the wrong direction and it is my duty to provide leadership according to the worldview I believe is based in truth, Christianity!
