Who do you think built the pyramids?

Thanks to the liberal policies on education content, the government has been trying to mainstream youth through the system without making every effort to teach them skills while providing information to apply to them. This is why so many are able to balance a checkbook with the requirement of a calculator, but are illiterate and end up in low level jobs that don’t make enough money to need a checkbook.

My daughter recieved a call from her daughter’s math teacher demanding she not be taught long division at home. The school only wants her to learn by compuer and to use a calculator, period. Her daughter is still being taught long devision at home. I hope she has use for it.

This is the Left's grand victory: the complete takeover and domination of the education system.

And the Right's response: whine and complain.

Hey all you "conservative" governors, mayors, state legislators, and so on......have you been paying attention the past 30 years?

So, Indians Pakistanis, Iranians are all white? As are Arabs? I agree they are Caucasians...but, Caucasian does not mean white.

Years ago, the BBC did a study on Brits knowledge of slavery and found they knew nothing about Britain’s role in slavery but lots about American slavery.

Not just Britain. Any country that had Caribbean plantations had negro slaves.

That means you, France. You too, Spain and the Netherlands.

There was parallel slavery, as well, throughout the world but very common in Europe and the Americas. It was called indentured servitude that young people often fell prey to whereby they sold their services to tradesmen for a defined period of time, 5-7 years, for little or no compensation in exchange for room and board and experience in a trade as an apprentice. It was the only “education” they received. This generation is woefully ignorant of how good they have it in today’s America.

You’re showing profound ignorance, FRiend. The Semitic peoples of the Middle East are/were indeed racially Caucasians. Arab and Jews. Turks and Persians are Indo-European. You know the Persians today as Iranians. Iran equals Aryan. Same root word.

So what do you call a Sicilian? Or a Greek from Crete?

I can absolutely assure you, having been to all these places, the Southern Italians and Greeks are more dusky than the Jews of the Middle East. And these Jews I’m referring to are not the Returnees from Europe, but the pure bloods who never left Palestine.

“Dusky”

Indeed.
That’s a very good use of that descriptive work.

I can see it now - “Children of the Dusk.”
And I suppose that the people of the Indian sub-continent
would be “Children of the Night.”

Most college graduates can’t tell you who America fought in WWII.

The Italians.

Only a Jewish kid going to school in the United States would say that. A Jewish kid in Israel would know better. U.S. public schools have been teaching anti-U.S. propaganda for years.
