In February, Texas announced that the state, along with the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum (TESCCC,) would enact major changes to the controversial curriculum management system dubbed CSCOPE.

Now I understand why my school district bought IPads for all its students
“Now I understand why my school district bought IPads for all its students.”
I think that a LOT of us were wondering why schools were so HELL-BENT on getting wired up and then giving their students the latest in ‘technology’ - particularly when we learned JUST FINE using books, pencils, and paper.
Now we are beginning to see the REAL REASON. CSCOPE and any other virtual curriculum completely removes oversight of what is being ‘taught’ to kids. In fact, it’s very easy for them to have two versions of American History - one that is in use from 9 AM to 3 PM during school days, and another that is posted during other hours and days. The version used during school days is filled with the same Anti-American Hatred that the teachers have for this country, while the off-hours version is very mild and is shown to parents and legislators.
I’m not saying they do this - but I am say they certainly can do this, given the ability to change curriculum at will.
The “public school”, including the “charter school”, is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most
subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.
The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.
It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is
collectivist.
Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense
intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.
It is hypocritical for you to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally
disagree. Children instinctively mistrust hypocrites.
If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form
your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.
Nobody loves our children more than you do.
Nobody can teach your children better than you can.
Nobody knows your children better than you do.
Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are
corrupted by the government school collective.
If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.
DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!
Especially not with your own children.
And DO NOT TAKE GOVERNMENT “EDUCATION” MONEY!
He that pays the piper calls the tune, and that’s especially true for any government entitlement
program.
TheBlaze also reported that teachers were “asked to sign a contract that would prevent them from revealing what was in the CSCOPE lessons or face civil and criminal penalties.”
“Need I say more?”
Yes. Because the majority of FReepers that read this article will still REMAIN CONVINCED that their precious public schools that their children attend is ‘different’ and not infested with such a level of pure evil.
Excellent point!!
many years ago, after reading a mag by the NEA, I told my kids if they chose to become public school teachers Id not pay for the education and would remove them from my will.
They were respectful in school, graduated with high marks and went on to be successful in their chosen fields. They tell me to this day I was right and now their kids attend private schools!
Now that is scary. There is no reason to keep the contents a secret. If the school uses textbooks, the parents can read the books for themselves.
Grover Norquist has become a big defender of Islam, I don't trust anything he is involved in. I'm surprised at Rick Perry, but he seems to be easily persuaded by outside interest, another example were the mandatory vaccine for girls.
1. The Texas Board of Education is elected, not appointed by the Governor of Texas, he did not do this.
2. CScope is a horror that will be eliminated.
3. The important thing that needs to be done is to ferrite out who created this garbage and remove them. In Texas that will soon be done.
Don’t private schools have to teach CORE curriculum anyway, especially if its mandated? Wondering if we should send our kids to Catholic School, when they seem integrated in the community schools with friends and family? The middle schools teach how pilgrims killed the indians and stole the land...also Christopher Columbus wiped out Indians....our only way to deal with this teaching is to sit down and discuss with the kids the truths.
Get your facts straight.
The phrase “need I say more” is understood by intelligent people to mean that the article in question clarifies, without question, the goals of propaganda in our schools and the attempts to “sweep it all under the rug” when it comes to daylight.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peabody_Education_Fund
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Education_Board
“The purpose of the foundation (the General Education Board) was to use the power of money, not to raise the level of education in America, as was widely believed at the time, but to influence the direction of that education... The object was to use the classroom to teach attitudes that encourage people to be passive and submissive to their rulers. The goal was-and is-to create citizens who were educated enough for productive work under supervision but not enough to question authority or seek to rise above their class. True education was to be restricted to the sons and daughters of the elite. For the rest,, it would be better to productive skilled workers with no particular aspirations other than to enjoy life.” -G. Edward Griffin in The Creature from Jekyll Island
My own observation...
Since the interests that founded these funds were behind the scenes causing financial panics, influencing foreign policy at the highest levels before, during and after wars to the point of Congressional committees investigating them, influencing financial legislation to the same point, etc., their audacious aim was to, from the top down, control education. One of the cornerstones of their goals was to control textbooks and curricula - so they could be sure that their own actions were omitted from the teaching of history. This results in an ever-increasing dismissive attitude when people are confronted with the history they were never taught.
The above links are only a quick overview, the reader absolutely needs to do more research on their own to find key facts about them and their related organizations that are essential to understanding how they are designed and why. Without these facts one cannot understand the magnititude to which they have succeeded at their aims.
Yep. Hard copy doesn't change from day to day.
My children, then my grandchildren were told to put down what they had to say to get the grade, but here is the truth...know better, and share it with your friends.
Those who listened still do their own research, preferably from older books.
Most conquered people have their history rewritten by their conquerors. Ours is being rewritten to facilitate our conquest.
And I have taught a few public school teachers how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions.
If you don’t know who is really behind such changes, how can you stop their efforts ?
That is, you don’t even know who you’re up against.
So you can’t know who they are allied with, who is working for them, what their long-term strategies are, what their long-term purposes are.
For example, if they put up a front organization or idealogy that poses as the force behind the change, and you keep opposing the front, the real people behind the change simply continue with their plans.
That’s what’s happening today with education.
People keep complaining about schools, without getting to who is creating the textbooks... and who they report to.
We complain about State Legislatures and their passing of laws that change certain aspects of curriculum.
Yet if we step back and look at the big picture, we’d notice that the leadership of academia has been methodically turned into minions of the foundation system that American dynasties, for lack of a better word, set up for that very purpose.
Education in America promotes statism with a thin veneer of communism and socialism because its masters allow it to. Teach something different enough from the prescribed viewpoints and your teaching career ends. If those who control academia wanted something different it would happen so fast it would make your head spin. Ergo, those who control academia want collectivism and immorality to be taught in schools.
Our private school uses the Standford test, not the state exams, to track kids’ learning. And our school is not using CSCOPE, though surrounding public school districts are.
The governor's office has no control over the education system in TX?
“The phrase “need I say more” is understood by intelligent people to mean that the article in question clarifies, without question, the goals of propaganda in our schools and the attempts to “sweep it all under the rug” when it comes to daylight.”
The problem is that there are STILL tons of INTELLIGENT people out there that think fight-off the influences of the schools...and keep bad things from happening to their kids.
They’re mostly wrong now, and it will get worse and worse as the schools consolidate their power - via TOTAL control of the curriculum.
“Many years ago, after reading a mag by the NEA, I told my kids if they chose to become public school teachers Id not pay for the education and would remove them from my will.”
BRILLIANT. My kids know enough to keep their (future) kids clear of public schools, but I think a LOT of people here that are just waking up to this nightmare will need to prod like you did.
