But because the government "education" system continues indoctrinate hundreds of thousands of new little mindless Marxist myrmidons each year, until we somehow regain control of THAT process, the America many of us knew as kids will soon be OVER!!!
Hense “government education”
Amen!
I agree with you.
Just as a lark, I took the “Advanced Placement” test a few months ago, when the link was given here in this very forum.
By the third question I detected the left-wing agenda bleeding through the questions and the “multiple choice” answers.
In a fit of pique, I answered every question with the answer that seemed to me to most closely resemble a far left interpretation of the events considered, and scored a very high mark on the exam. I realized that it was a test, not of knowledge or even of critical thinking, but of adherence to the “party line”.
It was a very disturbing experience, to say the least.
Somehow?
How about parents doing their job and educating their kids?
It cannot be done at public school.
Just say no.
If that is not possible, ask why.
If the answer is that the family cannot live on one salary, ask why.
there’s the answer to the problem.
Follow the money, cut the funding get until corrected, monitor , audit, oversee rinse and repeat.
Unfortunately your analysis is correct. Just as a note, though: what do you expect? The school / department in the typical university that intellectually ranks just above varsity athletics is the school of education. Nice kids being brainwashed with the (very slightly) better ones going on to “innovate” in education.
We must reestablish federalism and dramatically shrink federal involvement in things that are not enumerated by the Constitution. Then we need to give an intellectual enema to academia by getting rid of the overblown “new” studies departments — including schools of education.
Teachers need to have a domain expertise in a subject but not in teaching per se. Teaching is learned by doing and in conjunction with an experienced teacher not by sitting on your fanny being indoctrinated in socialism.

In another generation we will not recognize what is taught as “history”
The College Board would be a nice antitrust target.
You may want to share with those groups who are being omitted. They could get together and object, too.
What's going on here in education is playing out, albeit in a more bloody way, in Gaza. There is no solution (other than wipeout) to the mid-east problem for at least the next 30 years, as the current generation has been taught in palie schools to hate Israel and hate jews from Kindergarden/Sesame-street and up. If the schools could be fixed, there would still be no solution for decades, awaiting for that generation to take power.
Wow.
Just so people grasp what this means. AP classes are college credit classes taught to high schoolers. If a student passes the AP exam, then the student receives credit for US history in college. The best and brightest students across the country in public and private schools take AP US history to save money and time. The people who designed this course found a way to indoctrinate without having to do it in colleges and universities across the country. Lol. I was so blessed to take US History from Forrest McDonald many moons ago. He brought history alive to me in a way no other college professor did. He loved his country warts and all, and he loved teaching and writing. We need a young Forrest writing the curriculum for these classes.
You say the source is New Hanover County Board of Education. New Hanover county is in NC (Wilmington), SC. We just moved from New Hanover to just north to Pender County.
Here’s the New Hanover Co Resolution:
Do you have an address?
I'm sure some of the SC Tea Party groups would be interested in signing and mailing this resolution.

that is why I think wer are not getting our country back. Several generations of kids have been “educated” without any History. By eliminating actual History from the curriculum you cut kids off from knowing what worked in the past and what did not work, what was successful and what failed. If they have no knowledge of the past they can be sold any bill of goods at all. They can be convinced that totalitarian Marxism/Progressivism will turn the world into Candyland.
You’re preaching to the Amen choir, FRiend.
Dick, we have had this discussion before: While we conservative Constitutionalists worked hard and raised our families to be good American citizens, the LIEberals were hard at work undermining our nation.
We woke up in the morning and went about our business to make America a better place; to provide a better life for our kids and grandkids.
The LIEberals went about their business of destroying America by infiltrating the schools, the churches and the businesses in America with their evil Marxist philosophy.
By the time we realized what had happened, Ophonybama was President
OOOPS!!
The “educators” need to hear from the parents in masses.
Ping!
Great post; great thread. BTTT!
