Misinformation in Grade 6 class(vanity)

Posted on 12/12/2016 9:00:30 PM PST by Sam Gamgee

r full disclosure, I am Canada. My daughter is in grade 6 and goes to a private school but I discovered something printed from a teaching guide that really bothered me. It is from a publication called "What in the world". I sent an email to the teacher but have not as yet spoke with him. It talks about the US election. Some of the things that popped out were "He will become the 45th president of the United States - and the first without government or military experience". In a headline box is "Did You know? Despite losing the Electoral College, Hillary Clinton won the US popular vote by more than 2 million ballots". Then "Trump won by appealing to the white middle-class families....Hillary scooped 9 out of 10 black votes and two-thirds of the Hispanic Vote. Under controversial promises is included that Trump will cut taxes to the rich (misleading) and that he mocked a disabled reporter (extraneous information that has nothing to do with "policy" and not entirely true.

I am a little concerned, because it seems to me the article contains a lot of propaganda and has a very anti-Trump bent. Should I be concerned?

Yes, because it is totally untrue. Our present Pres. has had no military experience (He and Michal loath the military) and as far as his government experience was before he was elected, it was minimal at best.

If you don’t want your child propagandized and brainwashed in leftist lies and hate, you should home-school them.

Yes, be concerned!

Private schools shouldn't force feed kids lefty propaganda, but then, you say that you live in Canada. I don't really know your educational system, so am just going by what I know in the States.

If you don't hear back soon, go see the Headmaster/mistress and complain!

It is the same mangled half-truths, innuendos and lies we here in the States have been getting from the “news” [print and broadcast] for a year.

BJ had no military experience either.

The only military experience Hillary had was her claim that she tried to enlist in the Marines when he was a youthful lass.

Obama refused to show his grades. Had the lowest participation rate in the Senate, and did not serve in the Military.

Yes, you should be concerned. Write to the school district, those in charge of choosing this source, to the local newspaper, and the provincial office in charge of education.

Here’s the link the publication online and contact information for them. English and French. All those concerned about this serious propagandizing pretending to be current events should contact this publisher, as well. Also, check out who publishes this and see what other political activism they are involved in and are inappropriately infusing in your children’s daily education. It should not be scandalously biased and downright falsified indoctrination.

I’d argue that President-elect Trump has more government experience than most politicians, since he’s had to navigate the myriad rules, regulations and diktats imposed by local, state and federal agencies.

He will become the 45th president of the United States - and the first without government or military experience"
- True. (Trump went to Military school)- so what ?

Did You know? Despite losing the Electoral College, Hillary Clinton won the US popular vote by more than 2 million ballots"
- False. Hillary did not "win" the popular vote. 70 million plus voted against her. She did have the most popular votes.
FYI 3 Clinton presidential elections an no Clinton ever got a majority of the popular vote.

Hillary scooped 9 out of 10 black votes
- False. Hillary got 88% of the black vote

and two-thirds of the Hispanic Vote.
- True - except Cubans broke 50% for Trump in Florida.

Of course. You are probably surprised that the private school you send your daughter to is little better than the public schools. Your mistake. They are all part of the same system, just with different levels of propaganda and angles of attack. You will never be able to keep this crap away from your daughter so you better help her open her eyes to see what is being thrown at her and help her build her defenses.

You and your interactions and discussions with her at home are her best defenses at this age. Teach her that the world is full of liars and thieves and con men and that many of them are politicians, news readers and TEACHERS. Don't try to protect her childhood innocence. She needs to be able to protect herself when you are not there to do it. Like when she is sitting in a classroom.

If she doesn't learn this soon they will take her mind into their world and she may never find her way back out. Go to it dad, you're the one to open her eyes to the reality of this world. Help her build herself into a strong, perceptive, free thinking woman. We will be needing her in the future to help our cause. Freedom.

It's true he had no Federal military service, but he did go to a 4 year military academy. That's quite a bit more than Bill Clinton, who loathed the military, nor Obama, who I guess never even signed up for selective service at 18 which was/is the law.

Point out we don't elect Presidents based on the popular vote.

Perhaps the teach doesn't understand our country.
