Hi Freepers,
I must admit, this story is playing out TO THE TEE of the MSM.
As many of you may already know, there is a growing battle for truth in regards to the proper teaching of Pre-Civil War American History in Carson City Nevada.
Fix News has been here and I can only assume that they will be back.
If you do not already know the story, visit Chuck Muths website www.theengefiles.com
To make matters worse, the Neveda Appeal is fighting for THE WRONG SIDE and the reporter is so frustrated with the Blogosphere that she has done something that she should have NEVER done... she has tried to lie to us and is now out and about dropping comments in related posts.
Need an example?

Need to see who else is Blogging this? I've listed a ton of them on my news Blog here: http://www.battlebornnews.com (scroll down to see them all. There are quite a few on the next page as well.)
Finally, I make a plea for the help of all Bloggers with some extra space. If you don't want to link to my Blog I have no problem with that, it's the exposing of the Nevada Appeal and the liberal school board that needs to take place here.

I replied with this: This is a mess and it is going to get worse before it gets better.
My name is Eric Odom and I am the director for the Nevada Independent Conservative Political Action Committee in Reno Nevada. I was one of the individuals who spoke at the meeting and I also had a broom with me. Not only is the school board covering this up, they are going on the attack using the teachers union. The union is now talking of lawsuits involving people who have helped expose this terrible situation.
We need help, BIG TIME. We need the Blogosphere to jump on board and we need it like never before. I have been covering this at my Blog, www.battlebornnews.com and on the PAC website www.nvconservatives.com
If you are not familiar with the situation, please read www.theengefiles.com
I can be contacted at admin@nvconservatives.com
If you own a Blog and can talk with us about this, please get in contact with me ASAP!
Merry Christmas
Eric Odom
I do hope some of you will help us show the power of the Blogosphere. I hope we can unite behind a worthy cause.
I meant FOX NEWS. Sorry but I can't type at all.
Is there a comprehensive archive of documentation, including letters from the history teacher involved?
www.theengefiles.com is where it is all stored.
I also have some posted at the PAC website along with news clip of the last school board meeting.

If you can't summarize the conflict in two sentences, but insist on getting hits instead, I'm not really interested.
Ya know?
That IS NOT my website so I could care less how many hits it receives.
To sum it up...
Joe Enge, a man who helped write Nevada History Standards, was told NOT to teach Pre-Civil War History. He refused and here we are.
condemned to repeat it
I even have a copy of the final exam which clearly shows that nothing was taught within regards to Pre-Civil War American History.
I'm still waiting to find out if I can release this without the teachers union coming after me as well so I will keep you posted. If and when I get the green I will make it public.
I personally know Joe, and I must say he is a very wise man. He will gain nothing from this. He is nothing more than a teacher with a passion for History who is being harrassed and sent into turmoil because the school district does not want to admit that for two years students were not being taught proper American History.
They weren't teaching it in 1975 either. Nothing on the Civil War. Lots on black history week.
