Just more lies & propaganda from Rooters.
Actually, pretty stupidly worded and asking for trouble. Why not just "teach the lives of the founders and understand the American Revolution and its founding documents".
Or something like that. Stress AMERICAN HISTORY.
It doesn't seem like anybody is doing that. Not even this conservative, who probably means well but has diverted attention from AMERICAN HISTORY to something else.
The legal marijuana there is doing wonders for the population....
So, let me get this straight...
The voters in those counties voted for this change in the curriculum.
The teachers didn’t like the change. They wanted to keep on teaching the Howard Zinn/Saul Alinsky versions, and the voters overruled that.
Friday, the disgruntled teachers had a, “Sick-Out,” in protest.
This week after, these kids are free to ditch school in protest.
Morons on FB are screaming, “This is a beautiful representation of democracy in action!”
Yet are totally oblivious to the irony that this, “Beauty,” is counter to the democracy that already happened when those votes were cast?
Did I leave anything out, or would that about cover it?
If they decided to teach that George Washington was a Marxist they would cheer instead. They don’t want real history, they want only the history they agree with.
Rebels without a clue.
Getting rid of the proposed APUSH curriculum is an excellent idea.
Here’s another idea: Why not teach American History as it happened, warts and all? If they need reference materials, any American History text book from the late fifties to the early seventies would do fine.
American History should not be shaded one way or another. Teach it like it happened.
No-doubt a teacher-led protest, but the media is presenting it as a spontaneous student walk-out, as if the high schoolers participating care about anything other than an excuse to get out of class for a day.
Howard Zinn history, common core math, and putting condoms on cucumbers is all we need.
high school students are bsically heads full of mush....and they want to decide what and how the school should teach....STFU, get back into class, and at least try to educate yourselves to be other than gibmedats.
Heard old Tom Brokaw opining on it this morning on his 1 minute syndicated propaganda time on the radio.
He thinks protests like this are essential to ‘progress’.
I guess we should just let all minors decide what’s best for them ,too. Maybe next the kids can protest to ban learning math.
