AUSTIN – You know America is changing when leftists have even infiltrated Texas schools.
According to the website txcscopereview.com, a lesson plan for 6th graders in government schools reads as follows:
Notice socialist/communist nations use symbolism on their flags representing various aspects of their economic system. Imagine a new socialist nation is creating a flag and you have been put in charge of creating a flag. Use symbolism to represent aspects of socialism/communism on your flag. What kind of symbolism/colors would you use?

If that’s the case, then y’all come on down! Ya yeah!
I can see this in a place like Minnesota. A place I left a year and a half ago. A place where University of Minnesota runs TV ads where Scandanavian skull full of mush whine about having so-called privilege due to being pale. I am now in Texas. This is happening in Texas!?!?!?!
If asked this when I was in the sixth grade, I would have drawn the Soviet Flag. Back then I also knew what a Bear or a T-62 was. A target.
On good thing about having a traditional Catholic upbringing. I learned much about what it was like to be a Christian behind the Iron Curtain. To me, the Commies were evil, second only to the Antichrist.
I didn’t spell it right—shouldn’t try to be funny!
It should read “Ya Heah”
It’s hard to spell like a Texan talks-—LOL!
To #3: No flags of Helen Thomas allowed at this site.

Didn’t know that John Kerry lived near you. Well, you finally found a use for that useless traitor POS.
Hope you have a tracking device on him. He shouldn’t be allowed near children and pets.
She was a trip. I miss her so much. She drove this land yacht of a Pontiac Bonneville with a confederate flag on the front bumper. When she drove over a puddle, she would lift her feet. LOL
Kerry live in MA, just about 600 miles from here. Now he is the US Sec. Of State. He’s everyone’s problem now. Only three Republicans stood up to his confirmation. Two were from TX.
Doesn’t Texas write most of the nations new school books?
No, TX APPROVES most of the nation’s text books.
Actually, in the old vernacular black holes were called “frozen stars.” I doubt physicists and cosmologists will be reverting to that any time soon. Just doesn’t describe what’s going on like the new terminology.
People's Republic of Socialstan!
You’re not like drinkin’ or somethin’, are ya?
There’s something else I don’t hear today........and it’s something my grandmother said very often, when she was perplexed about something. She would say to me: “Chile, I swany if that don’t beat all!”
Translated, as best I can:
Child! I swear, if that don’t beat all! It didn’t matter who she was talking with—man, woman or child—LOL!
Personally, I do not see how socialism is being purported but what I do see is an exercise in creativity.
Creation is the highest echelon of thinking and if students are made to think, create and discuss, I fail to see the problem.
This could be a powerful lesson on propaganda - a la Nazis and the Freedom Writers.
If however, there is a concerted effort to push socialism, then there is a problem.
If it were nipped in the bud, it wouldn’t have happened.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Doesn't anyone check out the curriculum BEFORE using it?
Or do they have to pass it to find out what's in it?

That was probably an adaptation of James Clavell’s “The Children’s Story.” It’s about 4000k words, and available on the web. It’s a chilling story for sure
I think a kid with a conservative background could make a very creative flag - edged with barbed wire, stacked bodies, gaunt faces, long lines.
Yes ... That’s it. The Childrens Story.
Should be required reading along with 1984, Animal Farm and others.
