The 'Intercollegiate Socialist Society' in 1921 stated its purpose as 'Education for a New Social Order'.
ISS member and Fabian Socialist, Walter Lippmann, went on to co-found the Council on Foreign Relations.

Also in 1921, the ISS changed name to the 'League for Industrial Democracy', and they in 1946 collaborated with the Fabian Society -
"To prepare the ground for an international socialist policy in international affairs ."

... and on the topic of a 'New Social Order', in 1932, Dr . George S . Counts of Teachers College, Columbia University, penned the monograph -
'Dare the School Build a New Social Order'
... and that book left no doubt where his sympathies lay
In 1932, at a Baltimore meeting, Counts would go on to state -
'we live in an age of revolution...
... capitalism... will either have to be displaced altogether, or so radically changed...
... a coordinated, planned, and socialized economy'
... and in 1934, he co-authored the 'Conclusions and Recommendations of the Commission on Social Studies', published by the American Historical Association.
In 1951, at the 'Conference on World Order', Lewis Mumford proposed 'a World Equalization Tax upon nations, graded to accord with their wealth and productivity'.
'This would permit... the United Nations, to provide grants-in-aid for health, education...'
... of course, that would not come without strings attached.
'Nations that become members of UNESCO accordingly assume an obligation to revise textbooks used in their schools'
... and this spilled back into Truman, and the United States:
'The United States Office of Education must be prepared to work effectively with the State Department and with UNESCO'
UNESCO went on to product a series, and volume one stated -
'The development in pupils of an attitude of mind favourable to international understanding, which will make them * * * ready to accept the obligations which an interdependent world imposes.'
In fact, in the introduction states the general objective -
'to move towards a world society'
Not forgetting
'information presented so as to stress the inter- dependence of the modern world, the development of international co-operation and the need for a world community'
Volume 3 of the UNESCO series contained a list which draws in Carnegie - who shared objective with Cecil Rhodes; merging the US back into the empire.
And the League for Industrial Democracy members - received 6 Rhodes scholarships in 1935.
In 1948, at a UNESCO Seminar, a pamphlet was distributed, titled 'The United Nations and World Citizenship'.
Ultimately leading to -
'One world or none is thus the choice given us by military reality'
One World
Now, what also took place in the 1940s, was a growing emphasis on 'social studies' in schools - utilised in order to make students accept their place in the world order.
Meanwhile, history became a target. And Rockefeller funded both sets of rewritten history books.
This drive already started earlier, however, with the League of Nations 'outlawing' war from history books, with a whole range of wars removed from the 1920-24 timeframe.
Anyway, this - as I'm sure BBC would say - 'Conspiracy Theory' (though impeccably sourced) can be found over here.
Released in 1962.
... and a few years later the International Baccalaureate launched.

... I guess that also explains why that social justice organisation is named 'Tides'.
Because they're a bunch of Marxist revolutionaries.
