A Texas mom is furious after discovering that her son’s school is teaching students that the United States is partly to blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people.
Kara Sands, of Corpus Christi, Texas, took to her Facebook and posted photos of the test administered by Flour Bluff Intermediate School. The test reportedly covered content in a video fifth-grade students watched in class.
Of all the questions about the 9/11 attacks, Sands was most disturbed by question three:

Just wow.
I know I am burning...
It’s TX where the school system is being taken over by the Saudi’s.
Can you imagine what they’re teaching in CALIFORNICA?
They don't "teach" here in California. They indoctrinate through propaganda and brainwashing.
So the next time this school district is wanting the taxpayers to approve a tax increase, the people need to organize and say NO, get it from the Islamists.
For the record, the answer to Q. 2 is 346
I hope she’s disturbed by her child’s answer to Q 3, and by seeing the indoctrination that lies in this quiz. THe name of the rescue dog? that’s a stupid filler question; a lead in to the brainwashing question in 3
She needs to pull this kid out of school, like all Texans who can do so, and home school or something else.
And we need to become energy independent, illegal alien independent, government independent, get our culture back, starting with English as official language.
And stop all this allowing our children to be abused

Say what?
“Teachers” should be given piss tests for drugs every morning before they allowed anywhere near our children and then they should be instructed to just teach and keep their garbage, commie liberal OPINIONS to themselves.
It would be much better to get this kind of news out there where the average American can see it. theblaze.com is a niche place for information and I’m sure it won’t sink in like the 6:00 network news would.
The fact that this is happening in Texas should enlighten us all about the state of our public schools.
A story I’ve told before. When I was at school, one of my teachers - a man I really greatly respected as a man - was heavily involved in the anti-Vietnam War movement (the war was happening at this time). He opposed conscription very strongly, participated in all the rallies, and in our senior classes where were supposed to discuss issues, he presented the anti-war view, which as the son of a man killed in Vietnam, I often wound up opposing.
In my last year of school, I was seriously considering joining the armed forces, and I sought out a bunch of the men I admired for their opinions - including him. I went to him thinking he’d give me the arguments against joining and I wanted to hear them.
He surprised me. He told me the military was a good career, that he thought I’d do well in it and it’d be good for me. I expressed surprise that he said that.
And he sat me down and told me that as a teacher his number one priority in life was to teach his students to think for themselves. To look at the issues and let their own beliefs and their own conscience take them to what they decided was right. He would always be open about his own beliefs - he wouldn’t hide them, because he felt a man should stand up for what he believed. But while he was naturally delighted when a student decided on their own that they agreed with him, he would be an absolutely lousy teacher if all his students came to that conclusion. What he wanted for us to agree with his positions - but for us to be capable of holding our own views with the same passion and strength of belief that he had about his.
Today I am a teacher - after over twenty years in the military - and I try to live up to that man every day I teach.
My students are going to think for themselves - and I want them to - even when I think they are wrong. I want them to be wrong because that is what THEY have decided for themselves, not right because I told them what to think.
And my contempt for people who try to impose their political views on kids knows no bounds.
When the news becomes so one-sided or in this case one-party not only can they not be believed but their news becomes propaganda - one sided and without merit.
Too bad that so many folks are ignorant about this but it is a fact. As long as the Government supports this (and they do) they will unfortunately survive. The real problem is that they know not what they do (sounds familiar doesn’t it?).
That’s definitely a loaded question however, there ‘were’ decisions madeby the Clinton Admin that made it easier for terrorists to attack this country. Without a doubt.
They need to know the name of a woman’s dog? That is the meaningful history that they need to retain and pass on generationally about the Pentagon events?
And policies and educational curriculum made in Texas are used by many other states {I hate to say}
