Well, after more substitute teaching, it is getting to the point where you are seeing the PC multiculturalism/diversity leftist brainwashing every single day.

For example, I recently subbed a class, and part of the daily schedule was for the students to attend an assembly in the school cafeteria. So, I took the students down to the cafeteria for their "Character" Assembly.

Upon arriving, I thought, "Hey, maybe this is a good thing". Afterall, displayed on cards throughout the cafeteria were the words, "Respect", "Responsibility", etc. I must say, though, they did have words such as "Tolerance" and "Compassion" up. Howeve, despite it making me a little wary, it didn't make me suspect it too much.

As the third grade students began to start their performance (they were the ones involved in the "character assembly", I quickly realized that it was merely another attempt to force Leftist idealism and PC dogma onto the young children of America. For example, the children started singing about "behavior". The students were saying, "you can't tell me what to do. I dictate my own behavior. I control my own thoughts. You have no right to tell me what to do." The point is, there wasn't a distinction made between parents and bad people. It gave the children the opinion that they don't have to do or say anything anyone says, including their parents.

Later on in the assembly, I realized that the performance was taking on a humanism nature. For example, the children started singing, "I dictate what I believe. What I know is fact, etc." Thus, in general it was saying that there are no absolutes. Fact is what you believe in your mind. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I saw a group of teachers over in the corner conversating, and I could only wonder what they were talking about.

There were many other examples of Leftist brainwashing, and if you were all there, you'd catch onto it rather fast. However, elementary school children are very vulnerable, and they soak up everything rather quickly. The socialist elite is seeking to brainwashing our children to their atheistic/multiculturalist/diversity ways. If only more parents knew what their children were being exposed to. The indoctrination is deep into the performances, textbooks, magazines, school curriculum, etc. It's a terrible thing, and I try to set the children straight about the truth.

The same brainwashing techniques that I have been talking about popped up in another form the other day.

As I was going over the assignments with the children, I quickly discovered the environmentalist socialist persective. For example, the children were to read a story, and then they were instructed to fill in the blanks in the story with the words located in the box above. It was quite obvious that the green coalition had something to do with this. The story was about the rainforest and the benefits of it. Okay. In this regard, the story is fine, for I like the forests. However, the story dealt with how loggers should give up their jobs.

The next assignment in the very same book was "how to make a desert". The book stated outright lies in an attempt to pull children over to the ideology of the radical environmentalists. For example, the book stated that if you keep chopping down the rainforest that a desert would form. It went like this. You chop down the forests, the roots would rot, and left in its place would be a desert. I know for a fact that this is a garbage because I studied climatology in college. Deserts are less the result of vegetation as opposed to topology, wind currents, and proximity to lakes, oceans and rivers. If the book was trying to make the point that if you cut down the trees that it will take out a part of the hydrologic cycle, thus reducing moisture and bringing in a dry climate, it is also wrong. Nature has a way of replenishing itself. Left alone, it will replenish itself. Furthermore, the majority of trees do not have roots that rot because the tree has been cut down. The only time the roots rot is when the tree dies because of disease. In terms of logging, only in a few cases does it cause the death of the rootbed. Furthermore, despite that, most loggers have the roots grounded, which destroys the root system, so that it will provide ground area for the newly replanted trees to grow. In fact, most loggers replant the trees, and it is a huge part of the economy. For example, logging is the biggest industry in the state of Georgia. In essence, logging keeps many areas from being developed, and it ensures green spaces for years to come. This is something the greens should enjoy.

The same day, I was looking through another one of the students' textbooks. It was their social studies book. Upon flipping through the pages, I learned that America was a multicultural nation, and that it has had a deep multicultural past since its founding. I thought, "boy, have I been stupid" (sarcasm). This could be further from the truth, and it's an outright lie. The book showed people from various cultures, and essentially stated that this is what America has always been. (another lie).

In the same textbook, I proceeded to give the children their social studies assignment. I was to play a tape that corresponded with a particular chapter of their textbook. The assignment was taken from a historical standpoint, and it was about Cortes and the Conquistadors. While much of this assignment had some truth to it, there was an outright lie. For example, the book/tape stated that Cortes arrived in Mexico. The lie lies with the fact that Mexico wasn't a country during the day of the Aztec Empire. Next, the book/tape went on to say that Cortes pillaged (yes, he did this), and that as a result he took over the Mexican nation. (No, he inhabited the land, not the nation. The Mexican nation would later become a byproduct of the Spanish Conquests of the present day land of Mexico). Thus, the children were given the idea that the Spaniards stole Mexico from the Aztecs, and that they took over the government for themselves. Though Cortes did kill and pillage and steal (which, the book did state), its failure to state that Mexico did not exist, instead saying that it did, destroys the validity of much of the book. However, the children don't know that, and again, they'll be taught the multicultural/non-western mantra that everything the west achieved was the result of the captivity and subjugation of non-western peoples.

this is a very important issue you've raised and I agree fully with you;

A good curriculum to follow can be found in "The Well Trained Mind" by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer. This format is your TRUE Western Civ curriculum, with strong emphasis on Phonetic Language, Mathematics, Science, and a chronological history of WESTERN Civilization, beginning with 'pre-history'...those of you that disagree with the anthropological version (*I* do not!) are encouraged by these authors to use those materials that fit within your beliefs/interests of science and history, but Usborne Press gets a lot of recommendations. As a degreed grad in anthropology I would never discourage learning about different cultures...there are various posts on here that have pointed out that not everyone thinks like a Westerner..., but I find multiculturalism ABHORRENT...it corrupts and fosters hatred, pitting one group against another...I describe multiculturalism the sociologists watered down version of TRUE anthropology, which seeks to study each individual culture in and of itself, suis generis...a la "Pappa Franz" to those out there who have also studied anthropology (Franz Boas studied the Alaskan cultures and was instrumental in developing and refining the anthropolggical/ethnology studies in America...the "Father of Anthropology")

Anyway, my two cents....

You just now found "right" should have been "write", what were you doing, "coversating" with yourself? Your original post and a few of your subsequent ones are riddled with spelling errors, poor syntax and misused words; but then you are an "A" student.
