Basically, North Carolina public skewls want to change their high school curriculum and eliminate any early US History - no Founding Fathers, no Constitution, no Bill of Rights....

The public non-education system in NC wants the kiddies to learn US History from 1877 onward, lol.

The 60s lefty generation has now taken over the public schools. Eliminating history classes is driven by left-wing ideology.

Never underestimate the vapidness of a degree in “education”.

And never, never ever respect a “teacher’s union”.

End of history lesson.

We wouldn’t dare let the little darlings learn anything about the Constitution. Might have an uprising or something later on down the line.

And what will be taught about the environment? Will they teach the stuff that is now being exposed for the total fraud that it is?

I don't know what the point is in discussing the degeneracy of public education. Government schools are a socialism organization. Socialism is unreformable. What do you expect from socialism?

Friends don't let friends send their kids to socialist government schools.

A step forward in the indoctrination agenda.

A lot of the ideas the Left wants to destroy were at the forefront at the Founding - a government of limited powers, God-given rights inhering in ordinary people, the right to have firearms for defense, the legitimacy of overthrowing an oppressive and intrusive government, and so forth.

Also, the focus on “the environment” is meant to supply a religion for the masses. The secular progressive elite have come to the conclusion that the proletarian masses are ineradicably superstitious, and the “earth-worship” message is one that they believe they can control for their own political purposes.

Sounds odd but — it is time to close the public schools.

I guess it's easier to teach emotional lies like environmentalism which you can fake all the way than hard truths like history which have real sources you can check.

No doubt teaching about polar bears and global warming has more upside for Liberals than George Washington or our Constitution.

The object, of course, is to produce a society of moronic drones with no civic knowledge or virtue who are completely malleable and controllable by their Liberal masters. They are succeeding.

My experience with government-owned children is that their grasp of anything that happened before Last Thursday is so feeble that it is impossible to make clear to them when Jesus Christ was on earth. They never heard of the Roman Empire. They don’t know where it was or when it was. They have no notion of what civilization was like in any given century since then. They simply have no idea where they fit in in any meaningful timeline.

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TEACH THEM ABOUT OUR REVOLUTIONARY WAR, DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND CONSTITUTION, OR THE CIVIL WAR. This is a deliberate effort to create ignorant dummies who know nothing about their liberty and why they have it. But they are going to each them about the robber barons. The people of North Carolina should be screaming bloody murder. The “educators” who thought this up and are planning it ought to be looking for another job.

From wikepedia:
“Eco-socialism, green socialism or socialist ecology is an ideology merging aspects of Marxism, socialism, green politics, ecology and alter-globalization. Eco-socialists generally believe that the expansion of the capitalist system is the cause of social exclusion, poverty and environmental degradation through globalization and imperialism, under the supervision of repressive states and transnational structures; they advocate the dismantling of capitalism and the state, focusing on collective ownership of the means of production by freely associated producers and restoration of the commons.”

I would say that most of the extreme environmental groups that appeal on projects on federal lands or sue on endangered species and environmental causes in the Western United States embrace tenets of ecosocialism. They commonly have ties with education. http://portland.indymedia.org/

It makes perfect sense to me why the Founding Fathers should be left out of the American History being taught in our nation’s public schools. After all, since BEFORE 9/11 FEMA instructors have been teaching that the Founding fathers were our nation’s first TERRORISTS. Click link...

I can no longer recognize the America I’ve known all my life.

Interesting , they are doing the same thing in the EU. It helps control future generations.

EU history will be all the history taught in schools UK

The latest initiative by our "Children's Secretary", Ed Balls, is to abolish what remains of fact-based teaching of history and geography in our schools. He plans to "roll them together into themed lessons on social issues such as global warming"

The ruthless drive of educational progressives to eliminate history-teaching from schools has been under way since the 1960s. aim is to ensure that children know nothing about their country's past or how the world came to be as it is, leaving their minds blankly open to whatever vacuous progressive claptrap is fed to them.

In his desire to chuck history onto what Lenin called "the scrapheap of history",

I tutor in an afterschool program that is being heavily funded by the feds for intervention in math for k-5 kids. We were specifically told not to spend time on basic facts. We are encouraged to use “rich” problems like....If I am building a neighborhood of homes and can use the numbers 3, 5, and 6 for the addresses, how many homes can I build? It is so sad to see these kids being pushed to do fractions and higher level algebra everyday when they are counting on their fingers for every addition and subtraction step and don’t know the basic steps of a multiple digit multiplication and division problems.

If the education system were on our way, we’d teach U.S. history from the colonial era onward.
