Teaching your children to hate you, and America

10 May

Why is the Left winning? Because not only do winners write the history, but those who write the textbooks win too

Donald Douglas calls attention to an interesting argument by Bruce Thornton about the “trickle-down” of leftism in education:

We often focus on the ideological biases of the university, where the more lunatic examples of political correctness get the most attention. But in education as in economics, there is a trickle-down effect. The grandees at the elite universities train the PhD’s who go on to second and third tier institutions, where they in turn train the students who get high school and grade school teaching credentials. They also write most of the textbooks that end up in K-12 classrooms. Thus the progressive ideology metastasizes throughout the educational system, determining the curriculum, the textbooks, and the point of view of the teachers. At that level the ideas may be garbled, half-baked, incoherent, and a collection of clichés and slogans. But they are still toxic and effective at transmitting a world-view to impressionable minds.

Please go read the whole thing, because this is exactly right: When I graduated from a state university 30 years ago, the curriculum was not corrupted with “critical theory,” “post-modernism” and other such fashionable nonsense. Our professors were perhaps, on average, a bit more liberal than our parents, but none of our professors were ranting Marxists or other such fringe ideologues.

Go read it all, and pass it around. I have long since concluded that Liberals push for a “right to go to college” and now for universal preschool so that they might better indoctrinate our kids. They sooner they can get their propaganda into our kids minds, and the longer they can pump that propaganda into their minds, the more dominant Liberalism will become.

12 Terrorists Who Are Now (Or Were) University Professors – Fire Andrea Mitchell

Note: the information in the following article is derived from THIS one written by Ryan James Girdusky.

.

Did you know that there at at least Twelve former members of domestic terrorist groups indoctrinating college students as professors? Twelve may be a bit on the conservative side, but there are at least this many who are or have been professors at American colleges. The most recent of course is Kathy Boudin at Columbia University. Here are the others from Viral Read:

Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn. You’ve heard enough about them I’m sure. Ayers was a professor at the University of Illinois before retiring to his shithole in Chicago. His wife Bernadine Dohrn is still teaching at Northwestern Law.

Howard Machtinger was charged with conspiring to bomb the Detroit Police Officers Association Building and was on the run from 1973 to 1978. Machtinger now works for the School of Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Mark Naison was a part of SDS and was part of the Columbia University occupation in 1967 and 1968. He was arrested in 1969. Mark Naisonhas been a professor at Fordham University for the last 43 years.

Eleanor Raskin Stein was a member of the Weather Underground. In 1979 her home was raided for bomb-making materials In 1981 Eleanor Raskin Stein was arrested and prosecuted for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. Stein began to teach at the State University of New York in Albany and then later at Albany Law School. She currently is an administrative law judge.

Mark Rudd was the spokesman for students in the Columbia student revolt of 1969 and Weatherman. Rudd avoided a long prison sentence due to a technicality. Now retired, Mark Rudd was a math instructor at the Central New Mexico Community College.

Jamal Joseph, formerly Eddie Joseph or Black Panther Eddie was part of the Black Panther group that were arrested for conspiring to blow up railroad lines, department stores and the Botanical Gardens. The Panther 21 were found not guilty. Jamal Joseph is a professor at Columbia University.

Ericka Huggins was the founder of the New Haven Black Panthers in 1969. According to court testimony Huggins was present and assisted in torturing Rackley; another Black Panther member, George Sams, implicated Huggins in the call to murder Rackley. Huggins’ charges were dismissed after the jury was unable to reach a verdict. Ericka Huggins is currently a professor at Laney & Berkeley City College and has been an invited lecturer at Stanford and Cornell.

Angela Davis had several close ties to the Black Panthers but was never a member. Davis spent time on the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted List. She had purchased a shotgun two days before it was used in a hostage situation, which left six people dead. She would later be acquitted and run for Vice President in 1980 and 1984 under the Communist Party USA ticket. Angela Davis is a Professor Emerita from University of California, Santa Cruz in the History of Consciousness and the Feminist Studies departments.

David Hilliard was a Black Panther Chief of Staff. Hilliard was convicted on two counts of assault with a deadly weapon in 1968. David Hilliard is currently a visiting instructor at the University of New Mexico.

And last but not least:

Steve Best – technically, not an accused terrorist. Best is the founder of the Animal Liberation Press Office which acts as the media office for several animal rights groups, including the Animal Liberation Front, which is a domestic terrorist group. In 2004, the British Home Office told him that they intended to use counter-terrorist measures to prevent him from speaking at an animal rights rally in the UK. Steve Best is a philosopher professor from the University of Texas at El Paso.

Why are domestic terrorists allowed to indoctrinate our so called future? What’s next? Is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev going to be teaching at Berkeley in the year 2036?

Excuse me for breaking my no “F” Word Rule, but, How in the Blue Hell did Fucking Morons like this ever get jobs working anywhere near children?

7 May

I you hear a loud BANG while reading this, that is just my head exploding from the sheer stupidity of “zero tolerance”

In the latest case of a youth being punished for what used to be considered innocuous child’s play, a second grader at Driver Elementary in Virginia has been suspended for two days for making gun noises while pointing a pencil, WAVY-TV reports.

The boy’s father explained: “When I asked him about it, he said, ‘Well I was being a Marine and the other guy was being a bad guy’…It’s as simple as that.”

Paul Marshall, the father of the suspended 7-year-old Christopher Marshall, is a former Marine. 

A spokesperson for Suffolk Public Schools, Bethanne Bradshaw, explained: “A pencil is a weapon when it is pointed at someone in a threatening way and gun noises are made.”

NO! It is not a weapon it is a fucking pencil you ignorant fool! A pencil, nothing more! And what is the choice here? The proper choice is to reassure any child “scared” by another kid pointing a pencil by telling them they have nothing to be afraid of because little Billy, or Susan is, say it with me you pathetic hyper-sensitive Liberal tool, PLAYING! Yes, playing, as children do! But do the idiots who run our schools make that choice? Do they use the brain the Good Lord gave them? Of course not. They prefer to punish a child for playing like a normal kid! Again, I want to know who thinks this is anything but child abuse? Yes, it could also be called re-education, indoctrination, or just knuckle dragging stupidity. Call it whatever, but it has to stop!

 

Teacher Savagely Assaults Student, Chases Others Into Hallway And Masturbates In Front Of Them

South Korean Teacher Severely Beats Student, Masturbates In Hallway – Weekly Vice

A 55-year-old teacher at Seoul High School in South Korea has been jailed after he allegedly beat up a student, then immediately went into a hallway and masturbated in front of passing students.

.

According to the Seoul Department of Education, the teacher became irate when he noticed that a student was listening to music through a set of headphones during class.

The teacher, identified only as “Mr. A”, severely beat the student while other students fled the classroom.

“Mr. A” then reportedly chased students out into the hallway where he immediately dropped his pants and began masturbating. A student in the hallway captured video of the event on his cell phone and uploaded it to various social networking sites.

When questioned about the incident, “Mr A” reportedly denied masturbating and insisted that his pants fell down as he ran after the students. The teacher’s story fell flat when school administrators reviewed the video evidence as captured by the student’s cell phone.

The teacher has been removed from his teaching position, however formal charges have not yet been announced in the case.

How do these people ever get jobs working in education?

The old saying is that stupidity should hurt. Well, it is hurting all of us, especially our school kids

CNS NEWS– Attorneys for The Rutherford Institute have filed a civil rights lawsuit against a Chicago public school district on behalf of a second-grade teacher who was suspended after he displayed garden-variety tools such as wrenches, pliers and screwdrivers in his classroom as part of a “tool discussion” in his class.

Despite the fact that all potentially hazardous items were kept out of the students’ reach, school officials at Washington Irving Elementary School informed Doug Bartlett, a 17-year veteran in the classroom, that his use of the tools as visual aids endangered his students. Bartlett was subsequently penalized with a four-day suspension without pay – charged with possessing, carrying, storing or using a weapon.

The complaint charges that Bartlett “suffered humiliation, embarrassment, mental suffering, and lost wages, and was suspended for four days” – and asks for “nominal and compensatory damages” and for the suspension to be expunged from the teacher’s record.

“This school district’s gross overreaction to a simple teaching demonstration on basic tools such as wrenches and pliers underscores exactly what is wrong with our nation’s schools,” said Rutherford Institute Pres. John Whitehead.

There is only one solution to this epidemic of idiocy in our schools. those that engage in such asinine over reactions have to be fired! No one that stupid ought to be near kids anyway. Incompetence in the workplace should be punished rather than rewarded!

 

Leftist Teacher Who Asked Students To ‘Argue That Jews Are Evil’ Reportedly Put On Leave

NY Teacher Who Asked Students To ‘Argue That Jews Are Evil’ Reportedly Put On Leave – The Blaze

Parents were horrified when it was revealed that a teacher at Albany High School in New York was making students in her sophomore English classes argue that “Jews are evil” as part of an exercise in persuasive writing.

.

TheBlaze’s Tiffany Gabbay explained the assignment and its wider implications:

“You must argue that Jews are evil, and use solid rationale from government propaganda to convince me of your loyalty to the Third Reich!” read the description on the assignment, which the school superintendent said reflects the kind of sophisticated writing expected of students under the new Common Core standards and was meant to hone students’ persuasive argument abilities.

According to the Times Union, which broke the story, the teacher was not in class Friday and has been placed on leave.

District Superintendent Marguerite Vanden Wyngaard held a news conference apologizing for the assignment, but said it was too early to determine what punishment the teacher will receive.

It could apparently range from a letter of reprimand to termination.

“You asked a child to support the notion that the Holocaust was justified, that’s my struggle,” she said. “It’s an illogical leap for a student to make.”

.

Albany Public Schools Superintendent Marguerite Vanden Wyngaard

The school district has not named the teacher, who has been described as a veteran who likes to “challenge” students. Monday’s assignment was brought to administrators’ attention by a horrified parent, before making national news. Some of the children reportedly refused to write the essay, but others were concerned it would irreparably affect their grade.

“I was putting it off because I didn’t want to think about it and I didn’t want to say anything bad about Jewish people,” 16-year-old Emily Karandy remarked. “We thought it would make more sense if we were Jews arguing against Nazis.”

She said she felt “horrible” when she turned it in.

New York City Councilman David Greenfield was one of many to call for the unnamed teacher’s resignation, concluding: “The teacher responsible for coming up with and assigning students with this task must be held accountable for attempting to indoctrinate children with anti-Semitic beliefs… Quite obviously, this teacher lacks the judgment and common sense necessary to have a position of such great responsibility and is clearly not fit to return to the classroom.”

A great teacher is a blessing, a bad teacher a curse

13 Apr

And this one is a curse

One Duval County parent tells WOKV his son doesn’t even know what his constitutional rights are, so he’s shocked a teacher told the ten-year-old to write a letter on his willingness to give them up.

“That sentence talking about giving away freedoms for safety and security- that bothers me,” says Aaron Harvey.

He tells me his 4th grade son was told to write a note reading “I am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure”  following a lesson led by a guest speaker at Cedar Hills Elementary School.  The lesson itself was taught at the end of last year, but Harvey didn’t find the note until about 1 1/2 weeks ago.

I obtained the guide for that lesson, which was apparently aimed to “create an awareness of the five rights contained in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution” and help students “determine their opinions on which rights they value most and least.”  The lesson included a visiting constitutional lawyer, which the district tells me is a partnership used specifically for these civics-based lessons.

The lesson itself isn’t in question, but rather what Harvey says the teacher did after.

He says the teacher selected several students out of the class to write that statement and sign it.  It’s the same story he’s hearing from other parents with children in the class.

Where the Hell is the ACLU? Oh that’s right, instead of doing something worthwhile, they are busy trying to run God out of schools. This is what bugs me about this. What an opportunity for a teacher to talk about the Founders, and natural rights, the Constitution, and of course the famous Ben Franklin quote about those who would give up liberty for security. Instead, it would seem this teacher saw only an opportunity to indoctrinate.

 

Remember when I said there was something in the Obama budget that worried me?

10 Apr

I noted a few days ago that “universal pre-school” was part of Obama’s budget. Well others are taking note, and now we are getting to see a bit more of what is behind that curtain. 1389 Blog has the details

Obama: Put Nation’s 4-Year-Olds in ‘Public Preschool;’ Will Save on ‘Child-Care Costs’

(CNSNews.com) – In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools.

Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on “child-care costs.”

After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Too few American 4-year-olds are enrolled in school, the president argued.

“But today, fewer than 3 in 10 4-year-olds are enrolled in a high-quality preschool program, and the high cost of private preschool puts too much of a financial burden on middle class families,” he said.

“The Budget therefore includes a proposal that ensures 4-year-olds across the country have access to high-quality preschool education through a landmark new initiative in partnership with the States,” Obama said. “And it increases the availability of early learning for our youngest children to help their growth and development during the formative early years of life.

“Providing a year of free, public preschool education for 4-year-old children is an important investment in our future,” said Obama. “It will give all our kids the best start in life, helping them perform better in elementary school and ultimately helping them, and the country, be better prepared for the demands of the global economy.:

The goal, I fear, is not to better educate our young ones. I would argue it is to better indoctrinate them to be good little Leftists. 1389 agrees

The purpose of this is to remove kids from the healthy environment of family, church, and neighborhood, and put them into a building where they will be warehoused, regimented, and indoctrinated by overpaid, unionized government employees. We can’t afford any more of that nonsense.

Absolutely!

 

Something about the Obama budget you need to focus on

6 Apr

Yes, the huge tax hikes are there, you knew they would be. Yes, the massive increases in spending, leading to more debt are there too. But one bit of info that struck me was the plan to invent yet another right, and further indoctrinate our kids at the same time. $100,000,000,000 for universal pre-K

“The taxes figure is the $600 billion in tax hikes admitted to by the President in today’s leaks, plus the $100 billion from the CPI change noted on the WH website, and $100 billion for tobacco taxes to pay for universal pre-K.  We don’t know what the President’s exact proposal will be, but we know those taxes can be set to hit whatever number the President needs to pay for his pre-K policy.  The media today reports that the president will raise tobacco taxes to pay for universal pre-K.  We know from earlier reporting  that the President’s pre-K plan could cost between $10 and $25 billion, so $100 billion over 10 years is a reasonable number for the first 10 year cost of the program, and the new taxes needed to pay for it.

Reasonable you say? More spending, more taxes all to what? Have 2-4 year-olds in preschool? This is now a “right” somehow? No, of course it isn’t. It is a way to further dumb down our kids, and turn them into good little Leftists. I mean add this to the “right” to go to college, which is also the “right” to accumulate massive student loan debt, and what do you have? Twenty years, at least, to fill the children’s minds with Liberal talking points and propaganda.

Imagine how much anti-gun, anti-individualism, anti-capitalist crap they can sling at a child in 20 years.

Teachers’ Alleged Bullying Of Conservative Student Launches School District Investigation (Video)

Teachers’ Alleged Bullying Of Conservative Student Launches School District Investigation – The Blaze

A 15-year old student at Appleton North Highschool in Appleton, Wisconsin, is claiming that he was bullied by faculty members for being a conservative. Now, the school district has launched an investigation into Benji Backer’s accusations and are taking the claims “seriously.”

.
…………………

Backer told Fox News that he has had to endure name-calling and harassment as well as watch other students be indoctrinated.

According to Backer, the tensions began to mount when he was 12, during Governor Scott Walker’s battle with the unions and liberals’ unsuccessful re-call bid.

Since then, Backer claims that teachers denigrated Walker and labeled Republicans as racist

“They are harassing and bullying me as well as indoctrinating other students,” Backer told FN.

In an essay first published by FreedomWorks, the student wrote:

“My teachers have always talked about bullying, including bullying homosexuals and how wrong it is,” Backer wrote. “I agree 100 percent. They shouldn’t be bullied, nor should anyone else.”

He then made the correlation that if members of the gay and lesbian community are entitled to equal treatment, so too are people with divergent political views.

“If teachers expect bullying to end with homosexuals, they should want it to end with every type of bullying possible, including political views,” Backer, who served as the Wisconsin co-chair for Young Americans for Mitt Romney, wrote.

Ben Vogel, an assistant superintendent for the Appleton school district, told FN that an investigation into the allegations of harassment has been launched and that they are taking it seriously.

“I’m always going to be concerned when a student comes and shares that they feel they are being treated unfairly in a classroom,” Vogel said. “We want all students to feel like they are safe at their school and in the individual classes.”

Vogel maintained that the district has a strict policy relating to politics in the classroom and that it will pursue those in breach accordingly.

“We have school board policy regarding political activity in the classroom – when it’s appropriate and when it’s not appropriate,” he said. “We will follow up and make sure our teachers are doing what they need to be doing and if they’re not – then we will follow up accordingly.”

Among the incidents Backer claims he endured, was when his English teacher used expletives while castigating students who may have been supportive of Walker.

“He was swearing and saying how wrong it was for anyone to support Scott Walker,” Backer wrote in his essay. “Students were telling him to stop, and he wouldn’t.”

While the thought of a teacher railing against a governor in a classroom setting is unsettling, Backer said the harassment grew worse and soon became personal.

“He started to talk to me about how much harder he worked compared to my dad, a small business owner,” Backer said of his teacher. “He [the teacher] went on to ask how much my parents made because he wanted to compare it to his salary.”

The incident catalyzed Backer’s parents to meet with the high school’s principal, prompting the teacher to apologize. Oddly, however, the teacher then allegedly backtracked and began cursing at Backer.

“My teacher asked, ‘You know how you went down to the principal’s office?’” Backer recalled. “I said, yes, and he said, ‘I don’t give a s**t.’”

Bruce Backer, Benji’s dad, told FN they were taken aback by the incident.

“We were surprised that politics was being brought into the school during classes that had nothing to do with politics,” the elder Backer said. “We didn’t understand why there was a need to focus on Benjamin’s beliefs.”

Vogel said they were aware of the incident with the English teacher and “are very specifically following up on all the accusations and concerns.”

According to Backer, the bullying and harassment did not stop with his English teacher but trickled down into run-ins with a substitute teacher as well, who allegedly lamented the poor treatment of President Obama due to Republican-driven racism.

Based on reports, Vogel seems to be on the Backer’s side and seemed to acknowledge that faculty members are using tactics of indoctrination during their classes.

“Obviously we want students to be thinking and talking about current events,” he said. “But that needs to be done in a fair and balanced way. That’s not a means for a teacher to share specifically what their views are and try to indoctrinate students in a certain way.”

Department Of Education’s Inspirational ‘Quote Of The Day’ Comes From Worst Mass Murderer In History

25 Mar

Department Of Education Treats Kids To Mao Quote – Moonbattery

Although the exact number of his own people he killed will never be known, Mao Zedong is history’s undisputed leader among genocidal tyrants in terms of body count, making him arguably the most evil man who ever lived. Mao is also noteworthy in that former Obama Communications Director Anita Dunn considers him one of her two favorite political philosophers. Dunn has moved on now, but adoration for Mao lives on in the administration. Friday’s quote of day at the Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics website:

“Our attitude towards ourselves should be ‘to be satiable in learning’ and towards others ‘to be tireless in teaching.’”

The quote is from Chairman Mao.

After the general public had become aware of the quote, it was pulled and replaced with the message, “Sorry there is no quote of the of day today.” Someone in the government must realize that it is still premature to expect the population to share the federal bureaucracy’s reverence for communist dictators.

Parasitic, Leftist Educators Now Teaching Kids That U.S. Is Responsible For 9/11 Terrorist Attacks (Video)

22 Mar

Texas Mom Outraged After Finding Stunning Question About 9/11, Terrorism On Her Son’s 5th Grade Test – The Blaze

A Texas mom is furious after discovering that her son’s school is teaching students that the United States is partly to blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people.

Kara Sands, of Corpus Christi, Texas, took to her Facebook and posted photos of the test administered by Flour Bluff Intermediate School. The test reportedly covered content in a video fifth-grade students watched in class.

Of all the questions about the 9/11 attacks, Sands was most disturbed by question three:

“Why might the United States be a target for terrorism?” The answer? “Decisions we made in the United States have had negative effects on people elsewhere.”

Unsurprisingly, the stunningly controversial lesson plan is part of the CSCOPE curriculum system that has come under fire recently. The same system includes lessons asking students to design a flag for a “new socialist nation” and dubs the Boston Tea Party as an “act of terrorism.”

“I’m not going to justify radical terrorists by saying we did anything to deserve that – over 3,000 people died,” Sands told KRIS-TV.

The irate mother immediately contacted her son’s principal and teacher and set up meetings with them. The school then reached out to the video’s distributor, Safari Montage.

“Representatives say they stand behind the video, but have already changed the corresponding quiz that may have caused confusion,” according to the report.

Another worksheet on the Bill of Rights apparently names food and medicine as “rights,” not a personal responsibility, according to Sands. She said her son’s answer was falsely marked wrong because he labeled food and medicine as the latter.

As a Texas parent, Sands said she is very concerned about what CSCOPE is teaching children. But the Flour Bluff Independent School District released a statement defending the use of CSCOPE.

Several parents are reportedly planning to bring the issue up during the next school board meeting on March 28 and Sands is encouraging more parents to get involved.

“When I teach my children that you have to work hard and you have to earn a living and they go to school and learn something different I absolutely take issue with that,” she added.

College Student Claims He Was Suspended For Refusing To Betray His Religious Faith

21 Mar

Florida Atlantic Univ. Student Claims He Was Suspended For Not Stomping On Jesus – Daily Caller

A student at Florida Atlantic University has charged that his professor in intercultural communications class told the whole class to write the name JESUS in bold letters on a piece of paper, then drop the papers and stomp all over them.

The alleged incident happened three weeks ago on the Davie, Florida campus of FAU, according to WPEC-TV.

Junior Ryan Rotela, a devout Mormon, is the student making the charge.

“Anytime you stomp on something it shows that you believe that something has no value,” he told the South Florida CBS affiliate. “So if you were to stomp on the word Jesus, it says that the word has no value.”

Some students stomped; others, including Rotela, didn’t. He said he told the instructor, Deandre Poole, that the assignment offended his religious convictions.

Two days later, the junior alleges, he went to an FAU school official to express his unease with the assignment.

The result? Rotela has been suspended from the class.

An FAU official defended the decision, telling WPEC that the Jesus-stomping was part of a classroom exercise from a textbook: “Intercultural Communication: A Contextual Approach, 5th Edition.”

Public School Curriculum Instructs Students To Design A Socialist Flag, That Christianity Is A Cult

20 Mar

Texas Public School Curriculum Teaches Students To Design A Socialist Flag And That Christianity Is A Cult – American Dream

……….

Socialism is being promoted and Christianity is being demonized in the public school systems of some of the most conservative states in America. For example, students in Texas public schools have been taught to design a socialist flag for a new nation, that those that participated in the Boston Tea Party were “terrorists”, and that Christianity is a cult. If this kind of thing is happening in Texas, can you imagine what is happening in the rest of the nation? Sadly, education is a big part of the “progressive” agenda. Progressives are convinced that if they can “shape the minds” of the next generation through education that it will only be a matter of time before they achieve all of the major changes that they are seeking to implement in our society. And you know what? It’s working. If you look at any public opinion poll that is broken down by age, you will find that the youngest age brackets are the most likely to agree with progressive viewpoints. Millions of parents are sending their kids to public schools without having any idea that they are being taught that patriotism is divisive, that capitalism is evil and that Christianity is a fictitious cult. Instead of learning traditional American values, those kids are being taught that they should identify themselves as “global citizens”, that socialism is about “sharing” and that all of the religions of the world need to come together as one. If you are a parent, just pick up the textbooks that your kids have been assigned and actually read them. Once you know what to look for, you will see it everywhere.

When I was a little boy, my public school teachers were still teaching the the founding fathers that were involved in the Boston Tea Party were great patriots that were trying to throw off the vile oppression of the British.

But now many public schools are openly referring to them as “terrorists”. For example, down in Texas a public school curriculum known as CSCOPE is being widely used. The following is from a CSCOPE lesson plan labeled “World History Unit 12 Lesson 07″…

A local militia, believed to be a terrorist organization, attacked the property of private citizens today at our nation’s busiest port. Although no one was injured in the attack, a large quantity of merchandise, considered to be valuable to its owners and loathsome to the perpetrators, was destroyed. The terrorists, dressed in disguise and apparently intoxicated, were able to escape into the night with the help of local citizens who harbor these fugitives and conceal their identities from the authorities. It is believed that the terrorist attack was a response to the policies enacted by the occupying country’s government. Even stronger policies are anticipated by the local citizens.

Of course thanks to a great outcry this particular lesson plan is now considered “outdated” and is not supposed to be used any longer, but this is just one example of the kind of things that are being taught.

Another CSCOPE lesson plan actually has children design a flag for a new socialist nation. The following comes directly from a CSCOPE lesson plan for sixth graders…

Notice socialist/communist nations use symbolism on their flags representing various aspects of their economic system. Imagine a new socialist nation is creating a flag and you have been put in charge of creating a flag. Use symbolism to represent aspects of socialism/communism on your flag. What kind of symbolism/colors would you use?

In the 1950s, children in the United States would have been taught that socialism and communism are evil. Now, lesson plans such as this one force our children to imagine themselves as socialists and communists.

Do you want your children to spend their time in school designing flags for socialist and communist regimes?

Or would you rather have them spend their time reading and writing?

Another very disturbing aspect of CSCOPE is that it teaches children that the god of Islam and the God of the Bible are the exact same thing.

The following is an excerpt from a CSCOPE lesson plan about religion. The statements where Allah has been made equivalent to the God of the Bible have been put in bold…

WH.1 History. The student understands traditional historical points of reference in world history. The student is expected to:

WH.1B Identify major causes and describe the major effects of the following events from 500 BC to AD 600: the development of the classical civilizations of Greece, Rome, Persia, India (Maurya and Gupta), China (Zhou, Qin, and Han), and the development of major world religions.

Allah – monotheistic deity; also recognized as the God of Abraham (Yahweh)

WH.23 Culture. The student understands the history and relevance of major religious and philosophical traditions. The student is expected to:

WH.23A Describe the historical origins, central ideas, and spread of major religious and philosophical traditions, including Buddhism, Christianity,Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, and the development of monotheism.

Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) – one supreme God; also referenced as Yahweh or Allah

Of course anyone that knows anything about Islam and Christianity knows that is a flat out lie. The god of Islam and the God of the Bible are most definitely not the same thing.

But those that are seeking to promote a “one world religion” want our children to believe that all religions are “different paths to God” and that we need to bring all of the religions of the world together for the sake of “global harmony”.

Progressives are often not just satisfied to list Christianity as “just another religion” though. In fact, they seem to love to demonize it however they can. For example, the CSCOPE curriculum actually refers to Christianity as a “cult”. The following is from CSCOPE World History Unit 3 Lesson 02

In the space of a few hundred years, a small, often brutally persecuted cult rose to become the dominant religion of the West. How did it happen?

Contemporary pagan and Christian sources preserve other accusations leveled against the Christians. These included charges of incest and cannibalism, probably resulting from garbled accounts of the rites which Christians celebrated in necessary secrecy, being the agape (the ‘love-feast’) and the Eucharist (partaking of the body and blood of Christ).

So why haven’t we heard more about this by now?

Well, teachers down in Texas were actually required to “sign a contract that would prevent them from revealing what was in the CSCOPE lessons or face civil and criminal penalties.”

They desperately do not want you to know what they are teaching to your children.

Eventually hearings about this curriculum were held down in Texas. One algebra teacher actually broke down in tears as he testified. He chose to quit his job because he felt like he was “aiding and abetting a crime“. Other Texas teachers expressed similar sentiments.

But you know what?

The curriculum is still being used.

Is it any wonder why our young people are so stupid? Instead of being taught basic reading, writing and math skills, they spend most of their time absorbing socialist indoctrination.

So when they get out of school most of them do not have what it takes to make it in the real world. In fact, up in New York City most high school graduates do not even have the basic skills that are necessary to enter community college

It’s an education bombshell.

Nearly 80 percent of New York City high school graduates need to relearn basic skills before they can enter the City University’s community college system.

The number of kids behind the 8-ball is the highest in years

Our public schools are a complete and total mess and they are getting worse by the day.

Child Abuse: Leftist Dirtbags Declare 5-Year-Old Girl A Terrorist For Talking About Bubble Gun At School

20 Mar

Attorney: Girl, 5, In Trouble For Chatting About Shooting Bubble Gun – Penn Live

Talking with a friend about a pink toy bubble gun got a five-year-old kindergarten girl in the Mount Carmel Area School District labeled as a terrorist threat, according to an attorney.

…………………

The incident occurred Jan. 10 while the girl was waiting in line for a school bus, said Robin Ficker, the Maryland lawyer retained by the girl’s family. He would not identify the girl or her parents, but gave this version of events:

Talking with a friend, the girl said something to the effect “I’m going to shoot you and I will shoot myself” in reference to the device that shoots out bubbles. The girl did not have the bubble gun with her and has never shot a real gun in her life, Ficker said.

Elementary school officials learned of the conversation and questioned the girls the next day, Fickler said. He said the girl did not have a parent present during the 30 minutes of questioning.

The result, he said, was that the student was labeled a “terrorist threat” and suspended for 10 days, Ficker said. The school also required her to be evaluated by a psychologist, Ficker said.

“This little girl is the least terroristic person in Pennsylvania,” he said.

Ficker, who said he was contacted because the mother had read he handled a similar case in Maryland, suggested she ask the principal to expunge the record. That did not happen, but her suspension was reduced to two school days, and the reason for it changed to being labeled as a threat to harm another student.

“She’s branded,” Ficker said.

School district solicitor Edward Greco said Friday the allegations are being looked into but neither he nor school officials could discuss disciplinary actions. Greco and Ficker acknowledged they are trying to arrange a meeting next week to discuss the situation.

Ficker believes the girl’s record should be expunged and she be offered an apology.

Arizona Senate Votes To Approve Guns For Any School Employee

14 Mar

Senate Votes To OK Gun For Any School Employee – Arizona Daily Star

State senators voted Wednesday to allow a teacher, administrator, custodian or even a cafeteria worker at rural and some suburban schools to be armed.

……….

Sen. Rich Crandall, R-Mesa, said SB 1325 would improve student safety. He said while better mental-health screening and more police officers at schools are important, it is also necessary to provide schools with a “self-defense component.”

Crandall joined with other Republicans to beat back an effort to require that whoever is designated to carry a gun must report to police if the weapon is lost or stolen. That brought derision from Sen. Steve Gallardo, D-Phoenix.

“The only reason that gun owners do not want to report they lost their gun or they misplaced it is because they’re too embarrassed,” Gallardo said. “They don’t want people to know that they’re an irresponsible firearm holder.”

And Gallardo said that notice of an errant gun really should not be limited to police.

“At the very least, I would believe every parent would want to know that their child is going to a school that may have a gun roaming around,” he said.

Crandall’s legislation needs a final roll-call vote before going to the House.

The measure is limited to schools with fewer than 600 students that also are more than 30 minutes and 20 miles from the closest law-enforcement facility. He said the most isolated schools, like those in Crown King and Wikieup, are far too far away from anything to be able to depend on prompt police response.

The Republicans who control the Senate also killed an attempt by Gallardo to scale back the legislation so it would apply only to schools of fewer than 200. Crandall said larger schools need similar self-defense capacity, specifically mentioning the elementary and high schools in Elfrida.

But the Senate action may not be the last word. Rep. David Stevens, R-Sierra Vista, already has said he hopes to expand the scope of the legislation when the measure reaches the House.

Stevens had crafted a proposal to allow an armed teacher at all of the state’s more than 2,000 public schools. But it was introduced too late to get a hearing of its own.

Crandall said his legislation is modeled after laws in Texas that give school districts similar permission to let school employees be armed.

Aside from the school size and location limits, the legislation says weapons either must be carried concealed by the designated employee or secured in a storage locker.

Senate Minority Leader Leah Landrum Taylor, D-Phoenix, questioned the whole premise of allowing a school board to decide whether one of its employees is qualified to be armed and potentially walking around the building with a loaded weapon.

But Senate Majority Leader John McComish, R-Phoenix, dismissed those concerns.

“Who better to decide than the local school board, elected by the local community?” he said. Ultimately, he said it will be up to the community, acting through the school board, that decides whether it wants any employee armed.
