For some reason, I’m thinking “1984”...

The control of all education must be returned to the local community or we are circling the drain in this country.

Rewriting history...straight from the pages of Orwell’s “1984.”

The writer need to visit Auschwitz. Then they can tell us if the Holocaust was real or not.

They learn about propaganda while not realizing they are being subjected to it.
While historical facts can always be questioned, the Holocaust is probably the best documented atrocity in history.

I’m guessing a question like: Was President Obama one of the best presidents ever or just a low life POS that totally screwed America with his socialistic BS and Americans will be paying for the mistake of electing him for rest of their lives?

A. Low Life POS
B. Screwed America
C. Socialist
d. All the above

The absence of real education enables the Left to redefine everything.

A dollar to a doughnut that lesson plan was sitting on a desk at the U. N. less than eighteen months ago.

UNESCO doesn’t just concern itself with distributing goodies to the poor around the world, from nations that provide them, taking credit every step of the way.

It also develops school agenda for the U.S. and other nations around the world, stuffing the agenda full of it’s agenda.

Next up on the Common Core math section.

Burning a pound of coal releases 20 lbs of polluting carbon dioxide.

The earth can support the release of 1000000 lbs of carbon dioxide per year without creating global warming.

It takes 10 lbs of coal to fuel the ovens to dispose of one Jewish body

How many Jews per year can the government dispose of per year without having an impact on global warming.

For extra credit calculate the environmental impact on global warming of disposing of all of the worlds 20 million Jews in a single year and explain why it would be worth it

Oh, well, everyone who died in the Holocaust would have died anyway, so what difference, at this point, does it make? /s

We have pictures of the Jews bodies stacked like cord wood, others showing thousands buried in mass graves and still more, of their corpses being bull dozed into gigantic holes.

There are plenty of photographs were people, human beings, were lined up and shot, en masse, in the backs of their heads or massive firing squads raking their bodies with lead.

Then there are the volumes of records accounting for the genocide, in gigantic ledger books.

The Nazi’s were very efficient and kept copious records, detailing every aspect of the horrific process.

There is no debate on this subject and we have conviction after conviction in The Hague.

We have the testimony of Nazi soldiers “I was only carrying out orders”.

The world spent 70+ years hunting down those Nazis who escaped to safe havens around the world.

There is no debate on the qualitative evidence.

The massive evidence, kept perfectly by Germany, stands on its own and speaks for itself.

The Germans took great care in documenting the qualitative and mind boggling quantatative evidence.

This crime against humanity isn’t some object lesson. Those were real brothers and sisters of our human race, who did nothing more than worship the God who created them and exemplified our the greatest two acts of a spirit moved by a God, who loved them as a father:

They demonstrated turning the other cheek, though never explicitly called to do so.

Charity toward their fellow man, even in the face of their destruction. They were kind to their murderers and the innocent.

You can’t objectify millions of innocent human beings, without excising your soul, cancelling your membership in humanity and divorcing yourself the God who created you and every other person who ever existed.

Then danger of “Common Core” is that it will be “used” to promote wrongful ideas such as this.

Was the enslavement of Africans in the antebellum South real or just a propaganda tool?

From April 2013: Students Asked to ‘Argue That Jews Are Evil’ and Prove Nazi Loyalty in Assignment Linked to Common Core


Students in some Albany High School English classes were asked to participate in the unthinkable this week as part of a persuasive writing assignment. The objective? Prove why Jews are evil and convince the teacher of their loyalty to the Third Reich in five paragraphs or less.

“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.

The TimesUnion reports that students were asked to digest Nazi propaganda material, then imagine that their teacher was an SS officer who needed to be persuaded of their loyalty by arguing that Jews are the root of all the world’s ills.


NY teacher who gave ‘Jews are evil’ assignment suspended


A New York teacher who assigned her students to write a persuasive essay on why Jews are evil has been placed on leave and will be disciplined.

The teacher, who has not been named, was placed on leave from her job at Albany High School on Friday, and could face a reprimand or firing, according to the Albany Times Union.

[snip]

The writing project, assigned before the class read "Night," by Elie Wiesel, called on the students to research Third Reich propaganda and then write a letter to a Nazi officer arguing that "Jews are evil." One of the three classes given the assignment refused to carry out the assignment, the Times Union reported.

One brilliant thing that Eisenhower did at the end of WWII in Europe was to make certain that the documentation of the horrors of the concentration camps was made so that, as he put it,(paraphrase)” In the future no one will be able to deny that this happened”. He knew it would be tried eventually.

The question nobody asked:

‘When the Muslim students answer that it was just propaganda, will they get an “F”?’

Honest, Common Core-approved reply, not in a million years.
