Terrorism? Texas Schools Are Teaching Just That (And More)
CBS Houston ^ | November 20, 2012 | Mike Opelka

“A local militia, believed to be a terrorist organization, attacked the property of private citizens today at our nation’s busiest port,” wrote the teachers in charge of organizing the curriculum about the Boston Tea Party. “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.

I’m not sure what the liberal agenda is here. Do they want to reunite with Britain? It wouldn’t surprise me, seeing as it is the model for moocher, atheistic welfare states everywhere.

One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.

They like having a state that is their mommy or daddy, what better example than a monarchy

I imagine the Brits saw it that way also.

uh, I think the point is to explain how the British would have perceived the event.

Jimmy Carter actually said that the American Revolution was unnecessary.

There is no moral equivalence between the Tea Party (either the Boston version back when the people of Massachusetts valued patriotism, or the modern version) and terrorists. Those who cannot tell the difference between the two groups, or between Hamas terrorists hiding behind children as they fire rockets at Israeli civilians and Israeli soldiers taking extra risks in order to avoid injuring civilians while stopping the terrorists, are worse than stupid. Today’s leftists choose to be blind to truth, and I find their celebration of ignorance disgusting.

In the history books “Tea Party” once was a patriotic thing - a populist movement of resistance to tyrranical ways.
Today’s Tea Party is a patriotic thing - a populist movement of resistance to tyrranical ways.
OH - the left can’t have that! To them, the modern Tea Party is the worst thing that happened - they have to demonize it.

The curriculum has changed radically since I attended Houston schools. This is what you get when Communists take over education to corrupt our youth, and they have mostly succeeded.

That how the NYT would have reported it.

Impeach the kenyan or secession.

Not surprising. According to the left America was founded on racism, terrorism and genocide. Then we wonder why our young adults vote for Marxists and wear Che T-shirts. The question is, what are Texans going to do correct this situation in their schools?

“In the history books “Tea Party” once was a patriotic thing - a populist movement of resistance to tyrranical ways.

I do believe you nailed it.

The history books are written by the victors, and right now the leftist-fascists are winning. Get used to the propaganda.

It says the ‘ lesson plan” hasn’t been used since 2010 and I am guessing that after this article it will get taken off their web site
As a lesson plan it was quite weak although i am sure it got some of the lib teachers all exicted

I have no doubt some teachers tried to use it in their schools and had to discontinue it.

I am surprised and glad CBS in Houston exposed this

You could be right, but I honestly think this person sees it that way. Don’t misunderstand what’s going on in our schools today. The teachers despise our values, and will attack it at every level they can.

This is coming down from the top, and what most folks don’t understand, is that the U. N. is in no small part responsible for it.
