The IB program is definitely one of the best high school programs out there. It's so silly to call it global indoctrination because the program really encourages students to think critically. Taking IB is probably one of the best choices I've ever made in my life and I'm immensely grateful for everything I learned as part of my IB experience. If I ever have children in the future I will encourage them to do IB because you won't get a much better education than that.

-gasp!- My child is getting a -gulp- broader view of the world?! No, say it ain't so! I have to stop this socialist regime!

I'm an IB student in my junior year. What makes this so funny to me is that they claim the program is unamerican. I'm taking the first of 2 years of a GRUELING American History class.They practically abuse your anus with America. It's breathtaking how in-depth it is.

Looks like there's definitely enough batshit crazy to go around these days.

The brainwash program has been run more than 100 years.

Please wake up.

Dr. Ron Paul also did many studies and here is his conclusion. [watch?v=X554O6TwiYM]

Also IB program idea is based on Earth Charter.

Do you know what kind of people and group supporting this?

S O K A Gakkai - Cult group in Japan, Club of Rome, Rothschild, Rockefeller etc., etc.,

And Global Warming is total lie as well. We are heading to ice age right now.

@rutilequartzlight [Agenda 21] is a plan of action for environmental preservation and development that has been going on for almost 2 decades. Excuse me if I fail to see the fascism.

"U.N. conspiracy?" "WASTE of a program?"

"Marxist?"

...This is hilarious. If they're indoctrinating us with anything besides having an open mind (with a firm opinion) and broadened thinking, it might be the fact that the world has been going to pot for a LONG time. Believe me, I didn't need the IB program to tell me that last little gem, but the first two I'm grateful to receive.

How many of you haters have actually taken the dang program, and who *ahem* "indoctrinated" you to hate it?

@dudz40

I am afraid you really do not know what is UN's hidden agenda.

Please do research [Agenda 21] which eventually take away your right and freedom.

IB program is way to brainwash children to accept this global governance of UN.

If US fully adopt this, you will lose right as a US citizen to speak up.

Please wake up.

There is a reason why Dr. Paul is against UN and IB education.

The PYP program IB for little kids, is insane! I am moving due to this program- Be a global citizen, learn your behavior profiles and IB attitudes- How about teach the kids- these are 5 year old kids and we are telling them to be Risk-takers and go change the world- No wonder American public schools fail

[MidoriFan10]

So, because the program encourages broadening one's perspectives and learning that one individual is not the center of the universe, that makes IB a socialist program?

Well, screw that. If "socialism" has suddenly become equivalent to "excellent education" then I'll gladly be labeled a socialist.

@lynchLIED are you serious, Anti-American?!!!! Get you fucking facts straight, the IB program was designed after ww2 to promote peace in the world. IT is not marxist or socialist!!! Have you ever taken an IB class, huh? Maybe you should shut up and let the students decide. Im currently in 3 IB classes and I love all of them. Guess we have read the communist manifesto and the doctrine of facism, and guess what im not a communist of facist!!! It is good for us to learn about the world bitch

[lynchLIED]

Let me get this straight, you need to pay IB to get Spanish?

Marxist will always support Marxist programs. Do your research!
