Now I understand why my school district bought IPads for all its students
The “public school”, including the “charter school”, is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most
subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.
The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.
It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is
collectivist.
Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense
intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.
It is hypocritical for you to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally
disagree. Children instinctively mistrust hypocrites.
If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form
your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.
Nobody loves our children more than you do.
Nobody can teach your children better than you can.
Nobody knows your children better than you do.
Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are
corrupted by the government school collective.
If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.
DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!
Especially not with your own children.
And DO NOT TAKE GOVERNMENT “EDUCATION” MONEY!
He that pays the piper calls the tune, and that’s especially true for any government entitlement
program.
TheBlaze also reported that teachers were “asked to sign a contract that would prevent them from revealing what was in the CSCOPE lessons or face civil and criminal penalties.”
1. The Texas Board of Education is elected, not appointed by the Governor of Texas, he did not do this.
2. CScope is a horror that will be eliminated.
3. The important thing that needs to be done is to ferrite out who created this garbage and remove them. In Texas that will soon be done.
Don’t private schools have to teach CORE curriculum anyway, especially if its mandated? Wondering if we should send our kids to Catholic School, when they seem integrated in the community schools with friends and family? The middle schools teach how pilgrims killed the indians and stole the land...also Christopher Columbus wiped out Indians....our only way to deal with this teaching is to sit down and discuss with the kids the truths.
Get your facts straight.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Education_Board
“The purpose of the foundation (the General Education Board) was to use the power of money, not to raise the level of education in America, as was widely believed at the time, but to influence the direction of that education... The object was to use the classroom to teach attitudes that encourage people to be passive and submissive to their rulers. The goal was-and is-to create citizens who were educated enough for productive work under supervision but not enough to question authority or seek to rise above their class. True education was to be restricted to the sons and daughters of the elite. For the rest,, it would be better to productive skilled workers with no particular aspirations other than to enjoy life.” -G. Edward Griffin in The Creature from Jekyll Island
My own observation...
Since the interests that founded these funds were behind the scenes causing financial panics, influencing foreign policy at the highest levels before, during and after wars to the point of Congressional committees investigating them, influencing financial legislation to the same point, etc., their audacious aim was to, from the top down, control education. One of the cornerstones of their goals was to control textbooks and curricula - so they could be sure that their own actions were omitted from the teaching of history. This results in an ever-increasing dismissive attitude when people are confronted with the history they were never taught.
The above links are only a quick overview, the reader absolutely needs to do more research on their own to find key facts about them and their related organizations that are essential to understanding how they are designed and why. Without these facts one cannot understand the magnititude to which they have succeeded at their aims.
“You parents do not need to know what is being taught. Rick Perry and Grover Norquist have made marvelous improvements in the Texas Education System thru grade 12.”
While it is true that Education operates independent of the governor, the governor can still show some leadership here, and fight this crap. And maybe he has, but if so, I haven’t heard about it.
