Common Core Test: Only "Right-Wing Political Groups" Deny the Holocaust
Pundit Press ^ | 3/17/15 | Aurelius

A parent is outraged at one of the questions he saw on a 10th grade history exam. The parent has since posted the question online, writing, "Schools are insinuating conservative deny the holocaust. This is directly from a high school exam:"

Holocaust Denial

"This is from a 10th grade history class," the parent wrote. "The "correct" answer is E.

This is not education. It is propaganda made to look like education.

We need a Conservative Anti-defamation league and sue the pants off these schmucks.

I have seem more leftists deny the holocaust than conservatives by a factor of 100 to 1.

Complete garbage. The other ones have some importance to them, and are relevant because they are used in Europe for justifying current antisemitism. You know, if teachers had a drop of honesty in them, they would be talking about how antisemitism is alive and growing in Europe right now.

I have seen denial currently heavily focused on Muslim anti-semites.

This is reason alone to oppose Common Core.

Really, a teacher could put a test question like this on any test, but for this kind of thing to be legitimized nationally ... nope, not going to go for it.

I was kind of on the fence because I think we need some kind of common standards to ascertain if students are actually getting an education (like can they read, write in English and do basic math). But this seals the deal for me.

But it is a bunch of lies from the leftist communist party. They really think everyone is as stupid as their droids. Sorry we’re not.

Example of the “high standards” Dauphin Bush and CoC wants to impose on the country.

That will backfire. Everyone knows it is the new muzzie controlled left wing that hates the Jews. Little Johnny will conclude democrats are a far right group when he hears them say the things they say everyday about Jews. So naturally, he will be trained to vote for people that don’t say bad things about Jews (i.e. conservatives).

These commies don't believe that we are stupid. They know that we are lazy & will talk it to death but no action. I live in a conservative area & for each school I know that you could not get 10 people to protest this at the schools. (Oh no. No confrontation. We would look like kooks) That's sadly the mindset.

Common Core is simply a pre-requisite for admission to a liberal arts college ... which you described accurately in your post.

I wonder if the school is going to react. Hope they get lots of flak.

It does occur in Europe with political parties on the hard left as well as the right.

I partially agree, Digger, but the communists have already set us up by tagging us tea baggers and right wing extremists. They can bus droids in at any given time or place for a protest (and of course have the communist MSM along side. We have to take off work or find babysitters. After all, we pay for all these droids to protest. I don’t feel a feeling of laziness as much as a feeling of fear as well. Today’s protesters have a lot of agendas we are not aware of and some are dope heads, pyscos and convicts. A different world out there, Digger, a different world. But when push comes to shove Southerners know where to find a “little friend”

Why limit it to “these” schmucks? When George Zimmerman was labeled a “white hispanic” and persecuted for having defended his life against a mugger - when NBC edited an answer and then a question out of Zimmerman’s “911” call to make it sound like Zimmerman considered skin color a reason for suspicion - was that about the particular Democrat named George Zimmerman? No, Zimmerman was drafted into the position of “honorary white Republican” for the purpose of smearing us.
We need an Anti-defamation League (why call it conservative; cooperate with anyone who is actually being defamed by Wire Service Journalism. And we need it to bring down “the media.” Delegitimate the AP, and delegitimate the FCC’s imprimatur on broadcast journalism (as if it were objective).
