The most literate and educated population in the history of the world was Hitler’s Germany.
Education is not a panacea for the world’s problems.
> Political correctness must stop
It won’t.
The only chance we’ve got is to outbreed the commies and educate our own children OUTSIDE the government school collectives, where they are brainwashed into the collectivist groupthink.
It is hypocritical to submit your children to an authority with which you disagree so strongly and on so many levels. Your kids will know it, and it will undermine your authority with them. Not only that, the school will tell your kids that your ideas are “old-fashioned” at best, but more likely that you are a “racist”, “homophobic”, “sexist”, “xenophobic”, “a gun-toting psychotard”, “anti-science”, “global-warming denier.”
GET YOUR KIDS OUT OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. T
TODAY!
I know Lumberton very well. I grew up in Beaumont, which is near Lumberton, which is a small town in what we call the Piney Woods because it used to be, at least, a huge forest covering a very large acreage in that area.
Was I surprised to see this article! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I was reading it.
FGS! what is wrong with these people?

A teacher with 32 years “doesn’t know how to respond” to pure crap? What an idiot.
Valastro said it’s important for students to understand context.
“We might see it as terrorism, but from the Islamic side they might call it jihadist or freedom fighter,” he said.
Let me clear up that nasty rash of moral equivalency for you, Mr. Superindendent, while I put this knife up to your jugular and strap this explosive vest to your chest.
I can only imagine what is being taught in, say, Flint, MI or New Jersey, where pockets of other "freedom fighters" hang out!
“what is wrong with these people?”
They haven’t been fired yet.
So the superintendent's claim that "What is more dangerous – fear and ignorance or education and understanding. From our standpoint, we are here to educate the kids." is shown to be a lie. Trying to put the "ethnic cleansing" smiley face on the Holocaust is promoting ignorance and eliminating education and understanding.
Why are we educating Muslims in ANY of our public schools? Why are we educating Christians and Jews to accept the Muslim takeover of our country?
Turn off your TVs. Get down on your knees and PRAY. NOW, before it’s too late.
I agree. The deep piney woods part of East Texas is the last place you’d expect this to go on.
Who is the real culprit? If this is part of the required ‘lesson plan’ then that comes from the State Board of Education I believe. Liberal teachers run the lesson plan requirements set by the Board and this is what results.
You could argue that the teacher carried it to extremes—or maybe just followed it to the letter.
Some legislator needs to follow up on this.
And the nice Nazi's were very careful to explain that by exterminating Jews they were just cleansing the world of vermin!!!
There's the crux of the problem. If they aren't going to include Judaism and Christianity in the curriculum, they need to find balance elsewhere.
May I suggest a skit portraying these "freedom fighters" beheading Daniel Pearl?
“He was shocked that we had to call them that,” she told Fox News. “He laughed and asked the teacher, ‘Is that a joke? Are you serious? Why do we have to call them that? That makes it sound okay (what they did) And it’s not.’”
Madelyn said the teacher didn’t know how to respond.
“She said it was something we have to learn for the end of the year testing,” she said. “I’m sure it was very difficult for her to do.”
Sometimes teachers don’t have the abililty to address complex issues, as in this case.
Back when America had a spine good upstanding citizens would have visited Superintendent John Valastro and explained to him how shameful his position is. If that failed to change his mind then perhaps the actions of the good citizens of Montana to Frank H. Little would be appropriate.
