B. F. Skinner was a psychologist who had monumental influence over Government schools. Skinner followed in the footsteps of W. Wundt, G. Stanley, Hall, E. L. Thorndyke, John Dewey, and many others by helping to psychologize American education in a humanist direction, thus helping to construct our current Psychological culture.
Here are some excerpts from “Skinner’s, “Walden Pond Two.” These excerpts give us insight in what kind of culture Skinner envisioned.
245 — “We not only can control human behavior, we MUST.”
219 — “The New Order”
189 — “Psychologists are our Priests”
286 — “What is love except the use of positive reinforcement?”
278 — “Let us control the lives of our children and see what we can make of them.”
186 — “We can make men adequate for group living … That was our faith.”
134 — “Our goal is to have every adult member of Walden II regard our children as his own, and to have every child think of every adult as his parent.”
135 — “No sensible person will suppose that love or affection has anything to do with blood.”
108 — “History is honored in Walden Two only as entertainment.”
105 — “We are always thinking of the whole group.”
160 — “We are opposed to competition.”
139 — “The community, as a revised family.”
Conclusion?
This fictional account of Skinner’s ideal community is much like the language and laws in use today by the behavioral elite — describing their plans for your children, your schools, your country, your family, and yourself. How do you like your life and behavior managed and chosen for you by an elite who are intellectual pygmies, moral buffoons, above all else Christ haters?

I am a Pastor of a small Church in Mid-Michigan who delights in my family, my congregation and my calling.
I am postmillennial in my eschatology.
Paedo-Calvinist Covenantal in my Christianity
Reformed in my Soteriology
Presuppositional in my apologetics
Familialist in my family theology
Agrarian in my regional community social order belief
Christianity creates culture and so Christendom in my national social order belief
Mythic-Poetic / Grammatical Historical in my Hermeneutic
Pre-modern, Medieval, & Feudal before Enlightenment, modernity, & postmodern
Reconstructionist / Theonomic in my Worldview
One part paleo-conservative / one part micro Libertarian in my politics
Systematic and Biblical theology need one another but Systematics has pride of place
Some of my favorite authors,
Augustine, Turretin, Calvin, Tolkien, Chesterton, Nock, Tozer, Dabney, Bavinck, Wodehouse, Rushdoony, Bahnsen, Schaeffer, C. Van Til, H. Van Til, G. H. Clark, C. Dawson, H. Berman, R. Nash, C. G. Singer, R. Kipling, G. North, J. Edwards, S. Foote, F. Hayek, O. Guiness, J. Witte, M. Rothbard, Clyde Wilson, Mencken, Lasch, Postman, Gatto, T. Boston, Thomas Brooks, Terry Brooks, C. Hodge, J.

My passion is to write in such a way that the Lord Christ might be pleased. It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture.
Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.

Quite grand “masters of the universe” plans. Yet it is pretend Christians , actual Molech worshipers, that make them real by handing over their kids and their credibility to these types.
134 is already being applied in today’s churches with respect to nationality. Every believer is thought to have equal rights to political power regardless of whether the country in which he resides is his own. This is nothing but baptized communism, and from here it is just a short jump to full-fledged community of children. Already public schools are the de facto half-way house.
BEHAVIORIST
Behaviorist the truth you twist,
Existing human souls resist.
Placing us inside a box
Treating us as Goldilocks
Searching for a perfect fit,
Environmental schemes to fit,
To coax, to prod, to poke, cajole,
Overwrite the human soul,
Lather rinse repeat each day
Washing all our will away,
Countless strategies impart
Ways we may ignore the heart,
Appealing to our brutish sense,
Fill us with sublime pretense.
Teach the mind tricks to perform,
Steer us toward the absent norm,
Free to make our own false choice,
Getting us to speak your voice
Until subconsciously we start
To settle for the truth in part
Toward the goal of fractured meaning
Collectively then dazed and leaning
With ripe anticipation
Of duties full castration,
Renewed social reformers
Urge group mind on their performers
Who sacrifice all rationale
Left with but a witches spell,
Calling up absurdity
Repeatedly for you and me.
Then fit with bit and bridle,
Senses soothed, thought idle,
Broken, trained to follow dumb,
Anti-thesis the rule of thumb,
Mind control their endless game,
Worship is its other name.
Layered confusion of a mess
Further covers truth suppressed.
