In Charlotte County, Florida, students, parents, and extended family members are protesting high school textbooks that they believe are “promoting Islam.” Families that were concerned about the history books demanded the school to hold a meeting. Over 300 people attended and some protesters sported neon shirts that said, “Nothing but the truth.” According to one parent, “They’re pushing Islam and they’re putting down Christianity.” Another parent, Richard Gromalski, stated that the textbooks are biased and have a disproportionate amount of pages devoted to Islam. Not only are there disproportional amounts of pages devoted to Islam, there is text that claims Christians, Jews and Muslims all worship the same God. To that, Gromalski says, “My God doesn’t teach me to behead infidels. Theirs does.” After three hours of debate, the committee decided that the textbooks will stay.
You need to go back further - this is way more insidious than any of us can imagine. I thought it started with Obama, but no, it started under George W. No Child Left Behind was a stealth Trojan horse usurping local control of education back in 2002. George W was the one who immediately after 9/11 defined Islam as the religion of peace. George W not only bowed but held hands and played kissy face with the Saudi Prince (Obama has done that and worse, I am sure). http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=dfd_1375495354
So, bottomline is that the UN, which is basically run for and by muslims and the down-and-outers, aided and abetted by our own Govt., have made Common Core the law of the land to destroy our Christian/individual freedom heritage, which is the only remaining obstacle to a Leftist/muslim totalitarian future.
If Common Core was just about American education, why the big meeting in Dubai?

Pull them out and homeschool them or start private schools. It’s the only way to get the school board’s attention. Why should parents put up with this because the school board made a poor choice? Same with Common Core. Next time they’ll know better.
>> In other words, screw you.

Like man made global warning...
Like Obamacare...
Like It Takes A Village Of Mommies To Raise Heather...
any thought on pages coming up missing....
I thought government wasn’t supposed to promote or establish a religion.
Where are the screaming apoplectic atheists when you need them?
” It’s the only way to get the school board’s attention. “
Board members are elected ...
Actually I think that there are places where you cannot say that Christians worship Allah. If you do, you get your head chopped off. Malaysia?
If you say Christians worship Allah, the Christians should chop your head off
Just shut up.
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.
