Next up. Same Sex experience in order to graduate.

No, you don’t have to know how to read; no, you don’t have to know how to add, subtract, multiply, or divide; no, you don’t have to know when the Battle of Lexington took place; however, if you don’t recycle your empties, you can’t pass out of high school.

George Orwell, call your office.

Or, better yet, Knucklehead Smith call yours.

Translation: Student has to have bought the propaganda to graduate.

‘Environmental proficiency’?? Sure. America has a real chance at economic recovery and prosperity with a curriculum like THAT!!

I wonder why O’Malley sends his girls to a Catholic prep school?/s.

I live in Maryland and this is child abuse. Fortunately my daughter is in her 30s and homeschooling hers in Virginia.

And THIS is the reason I have been against state standardized testing and graduation requirements, whether state or federal. These tests will NOT largely test academic achievement, but instead test the indoctrination that teachers like me have been trying to skirt while cramming in "old-fashioned" academics and American values (mainly behind closed doors, I might add).

Within a generation, the requirements for high school graduation will be understanding a UN created curriculum which includes sustainability, diversity, world governance, etc. and demonstrating it through a standardized test, and then having performed a certain number of "volunteer" hours in school-sanctioned community projects, also known as "community service", (Planned Parenthood, EPA projects, Democrat election campaigns, suburban kids cleaning up inner city neighborhoods, etc.)

So they should know all about how humans cause Global Warming, but they don’t have to know how to either read, write, or do mathematics. Brilliant! /S

How else are we going to get our kids to hate capitalism if we don’t equate capitalism with catastrophe? </sarcasm

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Political indoctrination is now an educational requirement.

So basically they have to be like hippies crying over trees, or else they wont get their diplomas?

Me too! I used to live in Maryland and now live in Texas. Growing up as a Navy brat, I’ve lived just about everywhere. I am glad I am not in Maryland anymore. Texas is corky but we are not dominated by zombies yet.
