A is for Assassination, B is for Bomb Belt, C is for Cabal.

Interesting the things they teach in government run indoctrination centers.

I understand that the political Left facilitated all of this to destabilize the US. What I don’t understand is how Conservatives, Republicans and the Right, in general, allowed this to happen. Were all the “Good” politicians asleep?

Unsolicited Packages From Saudi Embassy Trigger Scare in Vegas
January 18, 2002

LAS VEGAS — A Saudi Arabian mailer designed to educate American schoolchildren about Islam instead triggered terrorist scares at three Las Vegas schools, officials said Friday.

A Saudi embassy official in Washington said the packages containing a videotape, a booklet and a book were sent to 5,000 randomly selected schools nationwide to promote tolerance and understanding.

“We just hoped the schools would consider showing them to their students,” said Sherry Cooper, secretary to Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar bin Sultan in Washington, D.C. (snip)

The Fall Of Western Civ
Education: A $20 Million Bass Slips Off Yale’s Hook
NEWSWEEK, Mar 27, 1995

Western civilization has been good to Texas billionaire Lee Bass, so it was only natural he should try to repay it, but he’s still trying to figure out how.

Four years ago, Bass, now 38, donated $20 million to his alma mater, Yale, to endow an intensive, yearlong undergraduate course in the great civilization that gave the world Saint Paul, Shakespeare, Descartes and Thomas Jefferson. (Along the way it produced Bass’s own great-uncle, the legendary Texas oilman Sid Richardson, whose estate was the foundation for the almost $6 billion fortune Bass shares with his three older brothers, all Yale graduates.)

But last week, with the program still not underway and Yale balking at his demand to approve faculty members hired under it, Bass asked for, and got, his money back. (snip)

A new report by the non-profit Institute for Jewish and Community Research finds that American high school and elementary textbooks contain countless inaccuracies about Christianity, Judaism, Israel and the Middle East.

Fascinating column. I remember some of the clunker textbooks I had in school. I just wish the author had included the report's full title and a link, assuming the report is available online. I'd like to know which textbooks were reviewed and which ones included these incredible whoppers.

This would be funny as hell if it weren’t so serious.

People wonder why the country is moving in the direction it has been for at least the last decade... Well, look at what’s been taught, and who’s been teaching the children for the last 4 decades or so...

Ayres and Dorn are no longer considered terrorists. They’re highly regarded “educators,” who help set the standards for what is taught in the elementary and secondary schools. The crap that this posting exposed, as well as the terrific work by LS in his books and now his appearances on Fox News.

Wasn’t it Stalin or Lenin who said something along the lines that “you control a nation’s future when you control the history that’s taught to its young?”

Forget the politicians... Where were the parents who should have been involved with the the school districts when they were deciding on the course curricula and text book selections?

There's a lot of fault to go around here, but the main question SHOULD BE, "is it too late?"

Private schools in the future teach history of the fall of Islam.

Looks to me like a justified hate crime.

[Boiling Pots]

Actually Republican George Bush’s administration helped with the effort to “prove” that Islam is a Religion of Peace.

Remember how he shuffled from Mosque to Mosque, barefoot, hours after the 9-11 attacks?

The real criminals aren't the marxist NEA crud who support using this moslem propaganda in the government schools.

The real criminals are the people who turn their offspring over to the government schools for pre-k through 12 indoctrination.

These sheeple are the real cause of the the now-unstoppable slide into abject tyranny.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

I think there’s sufficient culpability to be equally shared by both parents and propaganda agents.

Though no matter where we lay the blame, the outcome is still a lost generation and a failed republic.

Agreed!

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
