Red Pencils, Low Marks - How the diversity industry dumbs down American education

Last spring a Brooklyn mother named Jeanne Heifetz noticed something fishy on New York state's standardized high-school English exam: an excerpt from a book she'd once read had been altered. Her curiosity piqued, she gathered 10 exams from the past three years and discovered that most of the literary passages had been expurgated. References to race, religion, sex and other hot topics had been removed or softened. A "fat" boy had become "heavy," a "gringo" was now an "American," and a childhood memoir about visiting "the Negro section of town" had been stripped of racial content. Elie Wiesel's declaration that "Man, who was created in God's image, wants to be free as God is free" had been reduced to the lifeless slogan: "Man wants to be free."

"The Elderly Man and the Sea?"

Shouldn't that be: "The youth-challenged, non-gender-specific sperm-donor and the vast--yet limited--natural liquid resource that is being polluted by evil Republican-backed corporations."

Thanks for the link. Another example that the left are liars, by necessity. Their goal is the destruction of America. The destruction of our values system is part of it, the destruction of our education system another. They also seek, and are making headway in, the destruction of our judicial system. The trial lawyers are their brown shirts. They lie about what they believe and what they intend and then they try to corrupt the electorial system to steal what they can't lie themselves into. Not good people.
