The CSCOPE curriculum guidelines prohibit disclosure of materials to school boards and parents. Predictably this allows leftists to force feed left wing propaganda into the curriculum.
Yep, just about every school district in Texas has joined CSCOPE haven’t they?

9/11 was an act of religious faith, and the enemy’s desire to murder us began with that religious faith, not with anything we’ve done. Muslims have been killing non-Muslims simply for being non-Muslims, since Mohammad started it over a thousand years ago.
The NEA virtually dictates to all its members that American kids’ heads be filled with a vast ocean of pseudo-intellectual sewage.
It’s a national disgrace, but just one more sociopolitical outrage that is not being addressed.

I have been saying this for years. The NEA and others who are creating and directing the litteral “brainwashing” of our children needs to be very closely scrutinized PRIOR to allow any of their crap pushed through. Better yet, it needs to be STOPPED.
People, GET INVLOVED with your child’s public provided education, better yet, home school them.
The indoctrination of our children through public schools has been long in the making. Those of us who researched Obama during his 2008 campaign know that he and comrade Bill Ayers were right on top of it in Chicago.
I refer you to this Wall Street Journal article:

For those of you who didn’t have time to follow the link to the article above, the title will pretty well sum it up for you:

Good to see local people involved, but state officials need to speak up, take action and put a stop to this statewide curriculum.
Where’s all those great conservative politicians that supposedly exist within the Republican Party in Texas??????
Most of them are no doubt RINO’s just like the ones up here.
I still maintain more than 90 percent of the Republicans we have elected don’t deserve to be re-elected next time around.
Also killing muslims for being the wrong kind of muzzie.
Thank your friend for standing up against CSCOPE. I am a public school teacher and i don’t understand how a school board is willing to adopt a curriculum that it has not seen. didn’t they learn anything from obozo care and Nasty Pelosi “We need to pass it so we can see what’s in it”?
****************
If you include private schools such as charters, etc then it runs around 70%. If you only use ISDs it is around 80%. In either case it is the predominate supplier of curriculums to the school systems.
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. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
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.
charter schools are still publik skoolz
Yes I know that but was referring to public as State ISDs. I should have been more specific I suppose.
Notes from the Linahan interview (I have not had an opportunity to check these facts):
Only 5 states have rejected CC (Common Core). So, what CSCOPE did (in Texas) was to install a SCOPE "salesman" in each of the 20 REGION Service Centers in Texas to sell CSCOPE to the superintendents.
These 20 salesmen became the board of the 501c3 nonprofit in Texas. There is no State Board of Education oversight over this curriculum (because it is an online curriculum). CSCOPE copyrighted the curriculum and forced the teachers to sign a non-disclosure that they would not share what was in the curriculum with parents.
In one lesson, girls were given burkas to wear. When the incident drew public attention because one of the girls posted a photo on Facebook, the school administration called in the girls and made them sign affidavits affirming the lie that they were not forced to wear the burkas. The parents had no knowledge that the girls were made to sign these affidavits.
That same lesson also called the 911 terrorists "freedom fighters."
Linahan also talked about the Fethullah Gulen (islamic) charter schools (Cosmos Foundation). There are 38 Harmony Science Centers in Texas (they are called by different names in different states.). They target black and Hispanic communities.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In states like Texas, which rejected Common Core, similar secretive alliances prevail. The Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative, a nonprofit group led by government officials, designed the “CSCOPE” curriculum now used in 80 percent of the state’s schools. The state Board of Education, local schools and parents were denied access to the online CSCOPE curriculum database — which was exempted from disclosure rules.
In fact, dissemination of the lessons was considered a crime until earlier this month. Only after parents and teachers across the state blew the whistle on radical CSCOPE lesson plans (including designing a new flag for a socialist lesson) did the state take steps to rein in the CSCOPE zealots.

Safari Montage mentioned in the article is an online video system that allows very nice distribution of content. The majority owner is a nephew of the leftist historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr.
The video content comes from Schlessinger Media. I don't know who creates the tests but with their connection to PBS I wouldn't be surprised if it comes straight from the most liberal side of universities.
