“If history had a milk carton, Benjamin Franklin and Martin Luther King Jr.s faces would both be listed as missing persons in this latest attempt to rewrite the past. “
Fredrick Douglas is also missing as well....
Shocker.........NOT. The lies from the Left just keep on coming.
This is true.. Common core (by whatever name) is horrible! My Son learned in World History “Global Warming” occurred in the Middle ages!
[The Medieval Warm Period ended with what people then referred to as the “great hunger,” or Great Famine (1315-1322 CE), which affected mainly northern Europe. In 1315, the once-welcome rains flooded farms, and crops rotted in farm fields. The soaked waterlogged crops died well before they could be harvested.
What few crops could be salvaged (or imported from southern Europe) were expensive because the demand for food far outstripped the supply. Wheat prices increased more than 300%; most people could no longer afford to buy or make bread. The animals that people used for meat died of hunger. By 1316, farmers were eating their seed grain just to stay aliveeven though this meant that they would have no seed to plant the following year. Still, the rain continued to fall. Torrents of rain flooded land and destroyed crops throughout 1316. The year 1317 brought the worst downpours yet. By this time, more than a million people had died. Even though the rain slacked off gradually, beginning in 1322, it was not until 1325 that agriculture returned to a semblance of normality. It took many years for farmers to acquire the seed grain they needed to plant new crops. These climate change catastrophes affected mainly Europe. As in most times of crisis, people and society were focused on survival; most other endeavors were set aside.]

An excerpt of Obama’s speech to welcome British Prime Minister in 2012 was compared to an excerpt of FDR ‘For Freedoms’ State of the Union. Obama’s speech of course EXCLUDED these comments as well as FDR’s statement to prepare our nations as well as support allies militarily:
PRESIDENT OBAMA: The storied relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom is steeped in tradition. And last night, as President, I shared with the Prime Minister a uniquely American tradition of bracketology. (Laughter.) March Madness. Hes learned to appreciate one of our great national pastimes. His team has told me he has decided to install a hoop at 10 Downing Street. (Laughter.)
Today, we carry on another tradition — an official visit for one of our closest friends and our dearest allies. Prime Minister Cameron, Mrs. Cameron, members of the British delegation — on behalf of the American people, it is my great honor to welcome you to the United States...
Its now been 200 years since the British came here, to the White House — under somewhat different circumstances. (Laughter.) They made quite an impression. (Laughter.) They really lit up the place. (Laughter.) But we moved on. (Laughter.)
My younger daughter is currently taking this. We’ve already had a discussion about the changes since here sister took it 2 years ago. They are dramatic and she’s disappointed as she was looking forward to having extended discussions on the colonial period. They are spending very little time on the colonial period whatsoever.
She’s still interested in discussing it with me, but it’s not the same as being able to discuss it with her peers.
She’s not a happy camper. Doesn’t want to have to go outside the system to get what she is looking for by doing additional self directed studies, but realizes that is what she’ll have to do if she wants to dig into it.
Gee, I took that test and got a 5/5. Saved me some college work! No problems with the test then. The center cannot hold.
My daughter is taking AP history as a sophomore year in high school, and her school system/state has already implemented Common Core.
But I take some solace that her summer reading assignment was “A Rise to Rebellion.” And I will be watching the HBO series “John Adams” with her as an extra-curricular activity this semester.
I monitor what they’re teaching her very closely, and make sure she has a good understanding of leftist historical revisionism and Orwellian Newspeak and Doublethink.
PLEASE READ... VERY INFORMATIVE.
“At a recent awards dinner, held in Stamford, CT, and attended by 230 educators, corporate executives and civic figures, people were stunned when the recipient of an award from the Childcare Learning Centers of Stamford, paraphrased Adolf Hitler.
Yes, you heard me right. And you know what? There is a war going on over our children here in America.
Developer Robert D. Scinto, chairman of the William Pitt Foundation, said Give me a child when hes 7 and hes mine forever, in his attempt to underscore the need for early childhood education.
To add to the outrageous nature of this comment Scinto later said, I dont know why anyone was offended What I wanted to say is we should spend this kind of time and money with children. No one should have been offended.
No one should be offended? This goes to show how bone-headed and thoroughly intentioned these supporters of early childhood education can be. That proclamation was just as scary as the first! It just goes to prove and validate that there is, and has been, a fight between so-called educators and the family. Early Childhood Education and its government funded agencies (like Childcare Learning Centers of Stamford) aim to take your childs mind, and now it is apparent that these educators and their supporters feel that the earlier the better. In my opinion, Early Childhood Education encourages the abrogation of parenthood. It allows others, along with the states blessing, to raise the majority of our children from babyhood on up. By intruding into the childs life and development, they can also intrude into the parents home and its management.
HITLER actually said,
He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future, and he also wrote, Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction.
Hitlers strategy included controlling people at young ages as it was to him the key to continuing their subjugation as they grew older. Hitler also said,
Let me control the textbooks and I will control the state. The state will take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing. Your child belongs to us already .what are you?
The reach of government school is now steadfastly expanding into Pre-K. The desire is to have all 3 and 4 year olds attend public school, just like in European countries following the UNESCO agenda. Billions in tax dollars have already been used for pre-school programs. No longer are government educators content to take our children at age 5 in the name of compulsory education. We have even heard comments from Progressive legislators in Connecticut who proclaim, You are not serving your child properly if you are waiting until age 5 to formally educate your child. Some even claim that if you dont put your child in pre-school they may turn out to be criminals! They will even tell you that government funded Pre-K is a good investment for our country because the kids make better citizens. They produce reams of ridiculous studies, charts and brain scans, and parents, especially low income and minority parents, are unfortunately being convinced that they are unable to raise their own children without the governments experts.
Government taxes everyone so much, and has created such an intensely consumer driven economy, that both parents must now work. Didnt they do this in Communist countries? You know, take away the babies so parents can work for the state? They called it free public education from nursery to university, and the governments agenda by and large worked to weaken the importance of the family.
Initially after the revolution, divorces required no court proceedings, abortions were legalized, women were encouraged to take jobs outside the home, and communist nurseries were set up to care for children while their mothers worked. (Civilization Past & Present, pg 830).
Pre-K education in America is clearly a huge power grab as well as a jobs program. The foray into Pre-K not only swells the numbers of education union employees, but it also creates more opportunity to create credentialed preschool educators (and the programs to create them) who stand to take more money from taxpayers. Early childhood education masquerades as a way to close a so-called achievement gap but more significantly it also removes children from the home at an earlier age. It is a way to further minimize the importance of the parent and the family and make the pre-school and government school teachers the primary focus in a childs life. This is something that has not been a good thing for babies at all. It creates stress and confusion for the child. Kids end up calling teacher, Mommy and not knowing who it is they should listen to when conflicting rules are presented.
There was this in America in the 70s:
Every child in America entering school at the age of five is MENTALLY ILL because he comes to school with CERTAIN ALLEGIANCES to our FOUNDING FATHERS, toward our ELECTED OFFICIALS, toward his PARENTS, toward a BELIEF IN A SUPERNATURAL BEING, and toward the SOVEREIGNTY of this NATION AS A SEPARATE ENTITY. Its up to YOU AS TEACHERS to make ALL these SICK CHILDREN WELL by creating the INTERNATIONAL CHILD OF THE FUTURE. Harvard psychiatrist Chester M. Pierce, speaking as an expert in public education at the 1973 International Education Seminar
Thankfully, there ARE people who understand what is happening.
This from the article, War on Toddlers:
Universal preschool will provide job security for teachers and education administrators and provide lucrative contracts for specialty interest groups such as curriculum providers, transportation providers, food service providers, construction companies that build schools, maintenance and custodial services, school psychologists, and drug companies. Drug companies? Yes! Preschoolers will be tested, and funding of preschools will be based on test results. What happens when a kid doesnt test well? A small childs inability to focus could be diagnosed as ADD. What will be the solution Ritalin for 3-year-olds?
NOW our country is facing national curriculum standards. Wed do well to remember Under the Nazis, schools were a primary target for control and their administration was placed in the hands of the party faithful. By 1938, the German school system was brought under the total control of the central government and removed from the jurisdiction of the individual states or Lander (Huebner, 1962).
We surely do not need other people, or the government to raise our children. Thank heaven we can still homeschool our children. And this is why it is so fundamentally necessary to make sure that we can continue to do so, unfettered, unburdened, and unregulated by those who so very very much want your childs mind.”

Who is actually stupid enough to risk their children’s minds by leaving them in public schools? Put them in private schools, or homeschool them.
Gives a whole new meaning to "Government Schools," doesn't it...
No, I won't make the comparison, but any truly educated person with a firm grasp of Western history will immediately see the comparison a recent series of despotic, delusional regimes, in both Europe and Asia.
It's hard to take any report seriously which refers to a horrible "95-page outline" that is filtered through the very type of "filter" that the article is complaining about.
No link to the source.
If I have no access to the source, I'm not going to get too excited about it.
Get your children out of the public schools (government indoctrination centers) - NOW!
