This is a book for 4th graders. That is about 9 years old. Outrageous.

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.

It is difficult in this age to find history books and/or documentary programs that are not embellished or totally false. The world is full of self-aggrandizing liars. The older I get the more precious and rare Truth becomes. Thankfully I have friends and acquaintances who also cherish Truth and are able to steer me toward good, solid, no-nonsense material, like The Starr Report.

The author’s comments are true for both grade school and college textbooks.

An example of how conservatives can make immediate and widespread changes and create better neighborhoods for themselves and their children:

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,

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. 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.

Pictures from the text book at the link.

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!!!

HOMESCHOOL PING

This ping list is for articles of interest to homeschoolers. 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 or removed from either list, or both.

The keyword for the FREE REPUBLIC HOMESCHOOLERS’ FORUM is frhf.

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.

Pearson publishes all the Common Core texts, books, workbooks, teaching materials, etc. Whose pockets did they line to get this gig?

As a hated teacher, this is why I use the oldest textbooks I can get my hands on. I told my boss the new textbooks are crap and they keep getting worse. She allows me to do pretty much what I want in this regard. Most of my textbooks are at least 15 years old. Not the best but far better than the junk that passes for high school textbooks nowadays.
If you haven’t seen high school history or economics textbooks lately think of a USA today newspaper and you have the general layout. Lots of pictures, very little text and the text they do have is of very poor quality as far as information goes.
Since my books are so old I am at the point where I have to buy them off of Amazon from used textbook dealers.

This book has been around for some time. I guess Common Core is promoting it now.

‘Perfectly Normal?’ Planned Parenthood assaults children

“What book has quietly sold over a million copies, miseducates children about sex, and outrages many parents when they get hold of it? It’s Perfectly Normal, written by Robie Harris and illustrated by Michael Emberley, has been described as “pornographic.” That’s putting it mildly. It’s chock-full of watercolors featuring assorted sex acts and full frontal nudity. Most of the characters illustrated are pubescent boys and girls. The presentation would not be out of place on the walls of a ruined brothel in Pompeii.”

WASHINGTON, DC (CNA) - A self-described sexual health children’s book is so graphic in its contents that material from it has been banned from a state prison and several web sites.

The book, titled ‘It’s Perfectly Normal’, has been targeted by the American Life League (ALL) as completely inappropriate, especially since its instruction is aimed at children ages ten and up.

Endorsed by Planned Parenthood, it contains written descriptions and cartoon depictions of sex acts, including two pictures of teenagers engaged in masturbation. The text is dismissive of religious disapproval of masturbation and also discusses deviant sex acts.

Free copies of the book are distributed to children at an annual party sponsored by Planned Parenthood.

“How can anyone claim that this book is appropriate for 10 year-olds?” asked Jim Sedlak, vice-president for American Life League.

A few months ago a Washington State prison rejected a fund-raising letter that included censored “it is widely believed today that Christianity is a European religion which subsequently exported that continent’s culture to other countries. But the truth is much more complex.” images from the book for being “sexually explicit” and “obscene.”

The perverts pushing this need to be horse-whipped!

I truly loathe liberals.

“According to “My World History and Geography, Early Civilization thru Renaissance” Houghton Mifflin Harcourt:
The number of units on Islam 1
The number of units on Christianity 0
The number of units on Judaism 0
The number of chapters on Islam 5
The number of chapters on Christianity 0
The number of references to Muslims 219
The number of references to Christians 42
The number of references to Jews 26
The number of references to Muhammad 180
The number of references to Jesus 102

You can see the rest of the examples at the Textbook Tattler at the website TextbookAdvocates.com.

Guess who wrote these biased Pearson textbooks? “Pearson hired Shabbir Mansuri, and Susan Douglass (a convert to Islam) to review and consult on the material being written for textbooks. One problem is that both of these individuals are associated with the Council for Islamic Education, a front for the Muslim Brotherhood in America.”
