It shows how Islamists is getting our textbooks changed to suit them.
Please note Gregory Starrett and his comments and attitude about Fox News viewers.
I have read some of the textbooks used by my children’s school.
1. The only outright error I have caught was that the electoral college was explained incorrectly in the second grade social studies book. However, I know they’ll cover it again when they get older and can grasp the fine points better, so I let it slide.
2. I was worried about the fourth grade social studies program, because that is the year they learn California history, and there is a lot of room for trouble there. However, I noticed that the teacher used the book itself, um, selectively, taking out the parts that were slanted, or fluff. (I’m guessing he’s a bit conservative.) On the other hand, in doing research for her California Mission projects, my daughter got the message that native Americans were all good and wise, and Catholic missionaries and Spanish soldiers were all mean, so I had to do a lot of explaining about seeing people in the context of their own time, with the good, the bad, and the mixed motives. Luckily, I had the time and my daughter had the interest and intelligence to look at it more carefully. But I won’t be surprised if the non-Catholics in the class simply formed an anti-Catholic bias that will stay with them for a long time.
Great show.
School is about teaching diversity, feel good math and condoms.
I watched it and it was awful. Kids shouldn’t be exposed to all this crap. Homeschool or put your kids in Christian school. Get them out of public school if you can.
book on gay penguins...???
Did you ever wonder why you never see dead penguins on the ice in
Antarctica?
Ever wonder where they go? Wonder no more.
It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird
which lives an extremely ordered and complex life.
The penguins have a very strong community bond.
They are very committed to their family and will mate for life.
They also maintain a form of compassionate contact with their
offspring throughout its life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of
the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the
ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is
deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle around the freshly-dug
grave and sing....
“Freeze a jolly good fellow...”

When I was in 1st grade, in the early 90’s, I distinctly remember reading a picture book in the school library about a group of Native Americans that ambushed an evil, white anglo frontier railroad train and murdered all the people onboard. The book ended with a drawing of dead soldiers slumped on the ground impaled with arrows and spears and the indians dancing around happily wearing the white man’s clothes and holding the dead soldiers’ rifles.
Looking back, I can’t believe some of the sick bullsh*t they tried to indoctrinate us with.
Starrett actually said this to try to defuse the horrors these textbooks include:
“textbooks are not causal agents, they do not make people do anything.”
What a dumbass. Paid propagandist for the Saudis or the Turks.
