The current textbooks being used in public schools today, that your children are reading, memorizing and being tested on, are inaccurate, revisionist, anti-American, racist, climate change propaganda based on fake science, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, pro-Islam, Marxist, globalist, pro-Socialism/Communism, pro-homosexuality, pro-abortion, and sexually explicit. Below is a list of examples and… who wrote the Pearson Publishing textbooks, that TN schools are now using. (Related story, as of Dec. 2013, Pearson Foundation fined millions for violating laws. Story here.)
During August of 2013, scores of TN volunteers reviewed the 72 books on the State textbook list – 39% were declared acceptable for TN classrooms, 12% need major revisions to meet acceptable standards, many more need minor fixes.
Conclusion: “There is a mind-numbing degree of indoctrination (def: teach a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically) and (inappropriate sexual references/diagrams) found in the proposed textbooks.”
Here is a book called “It’s Perfectly Normal” on the 4th grade reading list. Below are photos I took from the book that concerned Teacher of 30 years Candy Emerson shared with me. Parents are not aware that this book is in 4th grade classrooms. Candy Emerson is currently running for a position on the Williamson County Schoolboard in an attempt to remove these books and Common Core from schools, and to remove apathy from the current school board.

I know, back when I was a 9 year old boy, guess what, building tree houses and taking shots at cans was my thing. I guess that they don’t want my son on the way to be that kind of Pennsylvania backwoods boy that I was.
Why are they doing this to children? How can adults think this is good for children? These people should be in prison.
Here is your ‘why’:
The path to total control is two-fold. First, encourage people to believe in things that are untrue. Second, encourage them to disbelieve in things which are true. Soon, those in power become the arbiters of truth, and no one knows the difference.
Whatever reality is presented the most often becomes the ‘truth’.
The author’s comments are true for both grade school and college textbooks.
I honestly agree. It’s awful, and there isn’t that much room to be a child anymore. If victorian ideas were primitive, today’s standards are primal.
An example of how conservatives can make immediate and widespread changes and create better neighborhoods for themselves and their children:

Why would any adult want to “teach” nine year olds about homosexuality, especially that it is wonderful? Do they want nine year olds experimenting with homosexual sex? I am truly sickened by this.
A generation or more ago, if your NINE YEAR OLD displayed this sort of ‘knowledge’, social services would have been called to see if there was ‘inappropriate’ contact going on.
Now it’s the school system engaging in ‘inappropriate’ contact.
Somewhere there’s a school board member or textbook editor getting a giant woody at the idea that NINE YEAR OLDS are learning this stuff.
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.

Read at your own risk.
This is absolutely APPALLING!
Perverts used to lurk in public toilets, hoping to snare innocent children.
Now the perverts run our public schools, and it’s a hate crime to object.
For people holding ping lists who are interested in moral issues.
Ping anyone else who you think has a ping list that would qualify.
There are pictures from the text book at the link.
Unbelievable....
It is APPALLING!!!

This is one of those rare occasions where the Homeschool list needs to be pinged. I think that this now rates as the top ever reason to homeschool, but you all ought to see what you are missing and what your kids public school friends may be reading.
There are pictures at the link of pages from the text book.
I have no doubt that if any parent gave something like that to a neighbor child, they'd be arrested and labeled a sex offender.
It is downright pornographic. If you go to the link, make sure your kids aren't around.
Well, verga, your precious public schools at work.
Defend THIS.
I will now go on record that sending your child to public school equates to child abuse.
Let a parent share this with their children of the neighbors kids and see what happens.
And where are the teachers and support staff in opposing this and alerting parents to what the parents children are being exposed to?
Its perfectly normal for the radical left to use these types of books in government schools to undermine the family, traditional society, Christianity and Judaism. I found from personal experience they will scream their lungs out and use every tactic available to keep their books in service too.
Holy cow.
That’s obscene.
Homeschoolers should be gun owners. When they come for the guns, don’t comply; they’ll be back for the kids next.
As soon as you defend doing nothing.
Pearson publishes all the Common Core texts, books, workbooks, teaching materials, etc. Whose pockets did they line to get this gig?
