Pearson Common Core expert: ‘Was George Washington any different from Palestinian terrorists…?’
Education Action Group ^ | Jul 7, 2014 | Danette Clark

“Was George Washington any different from Palestinian terrorists trying to protect their country?”

“Was Jefferson a hypocrite? Did he really think of a slave as a sub-human while writing the Declaration of Independence?”

These questions were written for use in the classroom by Grant Wiggins, a Pearson Education author, partner, and Common Core professional development trainer.

In partnership with the Council of Chief State School Officers, Pearson Education provides lessons, texts, professional development, and other resources to states implementing the Common Core State Standards.

It is amazing how people who live here destroy their own country via socialist relativist tactics.

Ummm... let’s see... Well, Washington didn’t indisciminately fire rockets into British towns and schools and kill innocent British citizens. Uhhh... Washington didn’t employee suicide bombers to kill people going out thier business... Washington didn’t kidnap the British Olympic team and kill any resisting, while trying to take hostages.

So, do I get an “A”, teacher?

What about blowing up Chuck E Cheese filled with pre-school patrons - that may not have been Palestinians but since it was in Israel ... I’ll go with it.

Well, let’s see. George Washington never had suicide bombers going into inns or wedding celebrations to blow up anyone unfortunate enough to be there. So that’s one difference.

What kind of parents send their children to be brainwashed by these haters of America?

This Maroon should be fired instantly—George Washington did kill people like a terrorist—I never heard of Tories burned out and shot in the hundreds? How can anyone but a hard core Leftist—Communist say this—wait til the big war comes and America is about to end as a nation of free men—then people will wake up—or maybe they take their freedoms too lightly—They will only miss them when they are gone—like the police in Baltimore.

George Washington was for protectionism and tariffs making him a persona non grata by the Free Republic Free Trade Army.

It appears there are plenty of numbnuts that think this commie is the cat's meow. And they're all in the public school system. It's been a full generation since we had any teachers that were not indoctrinated and could still harbor independent thoughts.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Why do so many conservatives object to people asking such questions? I know I could have answered them when I was in high school.

The Patriots did treat Tories pretty badly, particularly in the South, where a civil war was fought with plenty of atrocities committed by both sides.

At any rate, Tories were treated much, much worse than rebels during and after our civil war.

Some Tories, not all, were simply people who didn’t change their pledged allegiance quickly enough.

Actually you only get a C. You only started the list. There is more. Much, more more.

But you are on the right track.

Wait until this man rewrites Valley Forge.
Let’s see...he will write:
It was not a military camp. It was a military reducation camp using methods such as starvation, extreme cold, and exposure to extreme weather temperatures. Washington’s version of waterboarding. He was able to break those loyal to the crown.
The original Stockholm Syndrome.

I can see it coming.
