If the Atomic Number of carbon is 6, and the Atomic Number of Lead is 82, just how racist is America and just how much does Trump suck?
Less Science?
Sounds like a good thing. When you consider the Junk Science kids are taught regarding Climate Change and stuff like that.
Who needs facts when you have the truth. Right nuzzlin’ joe?
And now you know why 75% of all Public High School Graduates in the greater Los Angeles area, can’t read, write or count above the 3rd grade level
This proposed curriculum also makes excuses--the tired, typical ones--for why LaShanda and Tyrone can't learn: "...demands that teachings “foster critical consciousness about historical and contemporary forms of bias and oppression.” It wouldn't have anything to do with LaShanda texting all period long during biology class or Tyrone hanging with his homies on a street corner instead of attending class, would it?
Some people with actual common sense are against this travesty, saying it: "...promotes too much emphasis on racial identities and schisms rather than the boosting of basic academic skills in a city where more than half of students in grades 3-8 failed their state math and English exams." Ya think? The idiots who thought this up should be JAILED for criminal acts of denying these kids an education which would allow them to do college work and have marketable skills--not spout the latest slogan about how the white man kept them down.
The Department of Indoctrination (one could hardly call them the Department of Education!) will also appoint their own kapos to ensure the other teachers will go along in this criminality: "...will create a panel of 60 teaching fellows who will craft compliant practices for adoption across the city’s system of 1.2 million kids."
And, to complete the encircling ring around the brains of their captive audience, "...The DOE will also require book vendors to diversify their offerings if they expect to do consistent business with the department." And the NYC public libraries will receive a revised list of recommended readings to further reinforce this garbage. No doubt Heather Has Two Mommies and I'm a Boy on Mondays and a Girl On Thursdays will be on the list.
If THIS is what a few people who are completely out of their minds but who also are in charge of what your kids learn are doing, it's definitely time to pull them out of these demonizing thought factories called public schools and find the money to send them to private schools or home school 'em.
they are taught communistic and other anti-American bullsheit, but the kids leave high school almost unable to read, write, do simple maths, and they certainly don’t know a damned thing about American history, political science, or values. Nor can they do simple research (use a library, find information on the internet anywhere other than social dating and porno sites)
also they don’t understand how their cars work, or how to do simple repairs.... and they can’t make anything either
Makes sense if you declare that ‘science is settled’. Science isn’t needed anymore, it’s settled. More time for Social Justice Studies.
My son is a senior in h.s. and his 1st math quiz this year was written by the Souther Poverty Law Center.
The required reading was a diatribe about how minorities are forced to live in areas that have more pollution.
The quiz included questions that had your list the reaa9k you thought black and brown people would have worse health due to having to live in areas that have worse pollution.
“Tanisha has asthma. Why do you think she has this health condition?”
Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States, and The American Pageant by Thomas Bailey, David Kennedy, and Lizabeth Cohen.
been this way for a long time, at least thirty years.
This from one of them:
"Do you know what they are teaching us in school? That humans are killing the oceans and destroying the planet and we're all going to die from global warming."
When I asked:
"Do any of the students fall for that nonsense?"She replied, half laughing from amusement and shock:
"Some DO!"
I can’t imagine an Asian parent - or White parent - subjecting their kids to this - in place of such classes as biology, AP Calculus and Algebra II and AP Physics and Chemistry - all of which my kids took (and passed) - and are being systematically eliminated.
I see an opening for private schools here to concentrate on STEM subjects and honors classes w/o all the social justice nonsense.
