School lesson says Christians are treating Muslims harshly

A classroom assignment on Islam says one negative effect of the Crusades is that Christians are still treating Muslims harshly.

“I almost fell over,” said Barbara Light.

Mrs. Light, of Westwood, New Jersey, was helping her 13-year-old daughter prepare for a World History test when she discovered some rather shocking lessons.

“The Christians’ harsh treatment of Muslims in the Holy Land led to bitterness that has lasted to the present,” one worksheet stated.

I do hope Ms De Vos will be taking this crap on and dealing with it harshly.

No federal funds to state controlled indoctrination centers that spew this kind of vicious, deceitful, dishonest garbage.

Meanwhile, she should be working to eliminate the federal Department of Education entirely.

The UNIPARTY is working to continue COMMUNIST CORE NATIONWIDE and add SCHOOL CHOICE so the neo-Marxists can train HUMAN CAPITAL (kids held captive) for the global economy, (School-to-Work Workforce Development). Trump’s new secretary, Betsy was in on the BRIDGES CURRICULUM that was an Islamic indoctrination program. SC will overthrow elected school boards.

What’s ironic, is that, according to the Koran, Christians and Jews are viewed as being worthy of more respect than adherents of other non-Abrahamic religions and atheists/agnostics.

The people who are bending over backwards the most to kiss up to Islam, are the ones that Islam has the most contempt for.

These Left wing idiots don’t realize this, because they’re all about knee jerk reactions against/for whatever the un-hip people in flyover country are for/against.

Charles Martel suits me.

They’re fighting the Crusades I. We’ll have to wait until they finish.

Hope we fight back, though. Over 1.2 mm Christians in the ME are dead in this century.

She and a few dozen other parents need to be at the next school board meeting. In the meantime, they need to be calling board members, writing to the editor, calling in to the morning radio show, calling business owners, demanding an explanation from the state educ dept, calling their legislators, governor and mayor. Parents forget they own the schools. If others can protest and get tv coverage, so can they.

add me but please be aware that coming soon is School Choice and they have already seduced homeschool orgs into this trap. This session in TX they will be pushing hard (Jeb Bush) to get SC installed. There will be a wave of Islamic Charters on taxpayer dollars with private boards,and no open records. Just in time for the massive refugees left by Islamocommie.

When I was teaching, I’d ripped apart the history book lies. Many days, we’d focus on headlines (Terri Schiavo was one). This was as late as 2010. Never had a complaint.

[Da Coyote]

Horrible to that wretched faith’s follonwers has not happened.

Yet.

[[I’m sure they mentioned that the Crusades were in response to FOUR HUNDRED YEARS OF MUSLIM TERROR AND CONQUEST.....]]

They did- BUT they blamed that terrorism on Christians inciting the poor muslims to do it

[Nifster]

No doubt a CAIR approved lesson

[metmom]

You’re on.

Thanks for the warning and update.

If you see any more articles about this, ping me to them please.

Muslim charters are an ***immigration***problem, not a school choice problem. Stop importing Muslims! Make sure those who are here illegally **leave** expeditiously.

And....If Muslims can indoctrinate their kids, then the best defense is to have children in Christian charter schools who will learn to defend their faith, grow strong in the gospel, and understand fully the foundation of our nation’s freedom. They will never learn these principles inside a godless government school.

You forgot the most important step that any parent can take to not only save their kids but to damage the school.

REMOVE THEIR KIDS!

By homeschooling 3 children I deprived the government schools in my district of nearly ONE MILLION dollars in today's dollars. Gee! A million here, million there, and soon we're talking about real money.

UNELECTED SCHOOL BOARDS? not the American way
no open records?

[wintertime]

Well.....See how well elected school boards are working out?

Yes but you don't want to change the structure. Children are buried under the rubble of NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND-then we got Every Child Succeeds Act (ESSA) Lamar Alexander (I will spare you the shop of horrors in this bill) but taking this crisis that was planned to trash our public school system should not result in a takeover by corporatist interests. That is insane! Take the time to see the big picture. Here is an excerpt from Charlotte Isebyte's Appendage to Deliberate Dumbing Down . The public schools were deliberately dumbed down so that people would accept “any” substitute, no matter how lethal (the dialectic at work). Charter schools are NOT private schools since they are federally and state funded. They must administer the federal National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), of which at least 50% of the questions deal with attitudes and values. Chester Finn, Jr., former assistant secretary of education, U.S. Department of Education, presently president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, is a strong supporter of school choice proposals and charter schools. Finn was very clear about the dangers involved in public funding of private education when he stated in an article entitled “Public Support for Private Education” published in American Education, May, 1982: Short of scattering money in the streets or handing it out to everyone who wants some, the funding agency must define eligible recipients.... 12 This means, in a word, “regulation,” the inevitable concomitant of public financial support. The other side of the coin, Finn says, is “the obligation of private schools to recognize certain limits to their differentness and certain ways they must conform to the norms and expectations of a society that values and sup- ports them.” Charter schools are unconstitutional and certainly violate traditional government practices since they do not have locally elected school boards. The Georgia Supreme Court recently ruled that only local school boards have the power to create charter schools, striking down a law that created Georgia’s Charter Schools Commission. An article in The Atlanta Journal/ Constitution on May 16, 2011 stated that The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled 4-to-3 to strike down as unconsti- tutional a 2008 Act that authorized creation of a new kind of state charter school called “commission charter schools.” The high court decided that the charter schools did not fit the definition of “special schools” as envisioned in the state Constitution. The landmark case is the first to rule on the con- stitutionality of an alternate authorizer of charter schools that has already opened campuses that are educating students. Under the current Constitution, which voters approved in 1983, local school boards have the exclusive authority to create and maintain K-12 public education, Chief Justice Carol Hunstein writes for the majority. The Constitution only allows the state government to create “special schools.” [schools for the deaf, blind, etc., ed.] Yet in the 2008 Act, the State authorized the “Georgia Charter Schools Commission,” whose members are appointed by state officials, to approve petitions for a new type of general K-12 public school known as a “commission charter school.” Contrary to Georgia’s Supreme Court’s ruling, at an October 22, 2011 Roundtable at Stanford University in California entitled “Education Nation 2.0: Redefining Education before It Redefines Us,” Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix and former president of the California State Board of Education, stated the following: Technology and Charter schools—two big change vectors. Technology will allow us to go around and through the system. It will allow software-based individualized tutoring.... hugely transformative in the next twenty years. Charter schools are non-profit public schools... Problem is not with people. There are great people... If corporations had elected boards, they would operate as mediocre as most school districts. Problem is the elected school board. The solution is getting into non-profits, like Stanford. Most dangerous of all is the possibility that if Americans accept the legitimacy of charter schools, they will be going down a very slippery slope which may well lead to the unraveling of our representative, constitutional form of government. This is called “taxation without representation.” We can be sure that the highly-trained socialist change agents in our state capitols—who have been so successful in pushing regionalism (a pillar of communist government structure) on our local communities, will be work- From the Noxious Nineties through the Terrible Twos 13 ing night and day to get Americans to accept unelected councils (soviets) to run government at all levels! The deliberate dumbing down has been so complete that it is very likely Americans will say, “If our public schools can be run by appointed councils, why not appoint our local Board of Select- men (Commissioners), why not appoint citizens to town councils, to the Legislature, to Congress, to the White House?” Education researcher, Debbie Niwa of Arizona, shared the following with the author: “School choice” furthers the reforms envisioned a century ago by peddlers of progressive education. Through school choice—or more accurately “con- trolled choice”—progressive reforms are cleverly marketed as special pro- grams to targeted groups. Programs can be implemented as magnet themes, smaller learning communities, and charter schools, to name a few. On the surface, the programs may appear to differ, but internally they share similar non-academic (affective) goals and Marxist education theory and praxis. Specifically, a focus on values, attitudes, and feelings—is catego- rized under the “affective domain.” These non-academic issues are referred to today by a host of labels: workplace skills, soft skills, skills for the 21st century, or profile of a global citizen among others. School choice options that have gained promotional traction claim to deliver a global or multicultural dimension to education (with a socialist twist!). UNESCO-connected11 International Baccalaureate (IB) programs are a popular venue; likewise various culture-oriented “studies” based on ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc. The 1985 booklet entitled Back to Basics... or OBE Skinnerian Interna- tional Curriculum12 describes the central goals of global/international/multi- cultural (socialist) education. Today, most, if not all the issues covered in Back to Basics Reform are concentrated in International Baccalaureate programs. As of August 2011, nearly 3,300 IB programs are authorized globally with more than 1,300 in use in the United States where the vast majority exist in public schools. Thus, taxpayers at the local, state, and federal level are paying for the many extra costs incurred by IB. Yet, in general there is very little public notification. In the globalist paradigm, there must be deconstruction of the apprecia- tion for national heritage, allegiance, governance and traditional social norms. Various forms of “critical theory”—delivered under the guise of “critical thinking”—are increasingly used in the classroom to achieve these ends.

Wow! This is like the Berlin Wall of text. (Paragraphs are your friend.)
