After we sweep away all that is unworthy, socialism can occupy the vacuum.
The war over education is more than a war over indoctrination, it is a war for survival.
Demented? -— I don’t think so
[It only lowers the collective IQ when lawmakers still push to teach “intelligent design.”]
Ah.
After we sweep away all that is unworthy, socialism can occupy the vacuum.
The war over education is more than a war over indoctrination, it is a war for survival.
I agree that they should teach what’s bad about America.
What’s particularly bad about it is that it has been taken over at every level by totalitarian leftist Progressives who believe in unlimited government power, hate liberty, and seek to make all citizens slaves of the state.
Schools should teach that, and why it’s bad, and that it is time to declare the 100-year-long Progressive experiment a total failure, and that what America needs now is a “new birth of freedom.”
Would not send a child to the Government schools if you threatened me with a gun.
American Exceptionalism is not an easy concept for some. It requires a real appreciation of nuance instead of mindlessly equating it with jingoism. The Left lacks the necessary intellectual acuity.
Its a pity our day of Independence occurred during what would become summer vacation for school kids.
Imagine schools being rather forced to spend as much time on inalienable rights and consent of the governed as on “I have a dream.”
As you may know, I’m in OK. It turns out I’ve interacted w/Dan Fisher when he was the pastor of the Southern Baptist Church that sponsored the Boy Scout Troop where my son earned his Eagle and I served, at various times, as Scoutmaster and Committee Chairman. I conversed w/Fisher enough to say his view of where church and state intersect is closer to theocracy than I find comfortable.
This bill makes specific requirements on what a US History course should contain. Specificity into the classroom is not what a legislature does best. Curriculum design is at a level of detail that doesn’t lend itself to legislative action.
The new AP history course framework has some good points but certainly shades its approach toward finding fault while using a current cultural construct to evaluate historical persons and their events. This is not critical thinking, it’s critical theory and high school students don’t have the life experience to understand the difference, AP or not. This is why people are concerned that this oversteps the line from teaching to indoctrination.
Common Core is infiltrating everything from pre-k to college courses with “educational” material published and funded by Bill and Melinda Gates publishing links in an effort to promote 3rd world order. It is introduced into every subject while rewriting history and moral standards. It MUST be stopped!
Local control, school choice, and parents who care.
Let the schools teach what the parents want,
and those that don’t want their kids taught that can put them in different schools or classes.
