I just watched Condolleza Rice on Today speaking of how Rosey Posey Iraq is coming along Children are attending school (While Americans are being be-headed!!) so what are little Iraqi children learning? The next peaceful Jihad...

Break the back of the politicized education system by pulling your child out of public schools.

Yes!

Kids - if your parents won't fight for you, you'll have to do it for yourself.

[missyme]

But why not talk about that Atrocities of ISLAM the Be-headings taking place or the suicide bombings or the stonings, or the intent on destroying Israel or 9-11!

Let's just be PC and Speak about ISLAM like were talking about YOGA!

Can anyone tell me what the purpose of public education is anymore?

Parents send their kids to Sylvan Learning Centers because their kids can't do math or read (we have several tutoring centers in my town). Kids are indoctrinated with the homosexual lifestyle (can be damaging to physical, mental, and emotional health), and kids get a warped view of America in their history classes (are we supposed to hate ourselves?). And then this love affair with Islam after Islamofacists destroyed 3,000 Americans, and that's only in this country.

Just what is the point of it all? To destroy America from within?

Guys, this isn't a public school thing alone. When we homeschooled, we used Calvert's homeschool materials. A few years ago Calvert changed its middle-school curriculum to include - you guessed it - Across the Centuries. I complained but they still offer it for the seventh grade curriculum (17th item down on the list in the middle of the page.)

My understanding is that Calvert also uses the same texts in its prestigious day school as it does in its homeschool curriculum.

I notice that Calvert now is also branching out into partner schools, where they provide support for other schools using their materials as "enrichment." It may be that Across the Centuries is used in that area as well.

To be fair, my daughter's seventh grade *public school* ancient history textbook doesn't even include any mention of Islam, although it does have good treatments of prehistory, the Fertile Crescent, ancient Greece, Rome, and India.

You understand our problem perfectly, Missy!

What happened to the days when School was about learning Math, English Science and History that included the Presidents, (American History, the Pilgrims, Lewis and Clark's expedition, Christopher Columbus? Has it now changed to "The loving Mohammed Janey has 2 Mommies,"

The only thing I remember learning about the Mohammedans from 12 years of government schooling was that they were persecuted by the mean Catholic Crusaders.

It may be a little harder to sell that story now, what with all the beheadings and everything.

Parents send their kids to Sylvan Learning Centers because their kids can't do math or read (we have several tutoring centers in my town).

When we were homeschooling our son, he was having a great deal of difficulty learning to read. (I had already taught one child to read at home with no difficulty.) We were using Sam Blumenfeld's phonics program as well as other supporting phonics materials.

We took him to Sylvan for about a year. It was a big time commitment (2-3 sessions per week); cost an arm & a leg but was worth it. As he went through middle school he tested in or about the 95th percentile routinely on reading.

The tutoring centers have received a huge windfall from the Bush administration's No Child Left Behind law. Schools pay for students "at risk" to get tutored by these centers; it's one of the things schools have to do under NCLB to avoid ultimately having their districts disbanded.

What I learned from this experience is that even in a good homeschooling environment, with phonics-based hands-on learning geared toward the student's individual learning style (kinetic in this case), some kids *still* find it very hard to learn to read at the same pace as their peers. It's not all "the teacher's fault" or "the school's fault."

I really don't remember the Catholic Crusaders handing out death warrants that included sawing off one's head.

[missyme]

I pray for GOD's intervention to wipe ISLAM off the face of the planet!!!

[Aquinasfan]

Can anyone tell me what the purpose of public education is anymore?

It's always been about indoctrination.

The Underground History of American Education

[Aquinasfan]

I really don't remember the Catholic Crusaders handing out death warrants that included sawing off one's head.

Of course not. I'm just telling you what I remember being taught in my gov't school 30+ years ago.

It seems that they forgot to mention that the Crusades were a centuries-late response to militant Mohammedan expansion.

[ladylib]

I realize that a few students will have difficulty learning to read no matter how they're taught, but when the majority of them do (as it is in many school systems), then you have to ask why.

[JesseHousman]

Me too! These filthy killers are a subhuman species ruled by a book written by a pervert!

At least the goal of public education in the last century was to make American citizens out of newly arrived immigrants, especially in the cities. They succeeded for the most part.

My American history teachers weren't the brightest in the world, but if 9/11 had happened back then, they sure wouldn't be standing in front of a classroom, blathering on about the wonders of Islam. The health teacher wouldn't have invited students to explore the joys of homosexuality because if she did, both she and the school board would have been lynched, and the whole school would have boycotted.

Why can't this be duplicated all over the country, modified for public schools?

The results seem so much better.

[Spok]

What's truly revealing is that none of this lip service to Islam was heard from the left until 9/11. Liberal 'inclusiveness' and 'diversity' is a spineless response to intimidation.

Don't forget that the Imam says that the jihad in Chechen is justified.

When will Michael Moore focus his camera on what caused THIS school massacre?

[BabsC]

You are so right. I saw an interview with a Professor at Tennessee University years ago, while Russia was in Afghanistan. This Professor was Muslim and spoke very matter of factly about how young Muslim men were flocking to Afghanistan to "practice jihad". There was no where else they could "practice" this part of their "religion".

I sat right up and wondered why it didn't go any further. No one cared that this person here in America a supposedly educated person was so supporting of such a barbaric thing.

Kent Brockman: "Ladies and gentlemen, uh, we've just lost the picture, but what we've seen speaks for itself.

The Corvair spacecraft has apparently been taken over- 'conquered' if you will- by a master race of giant space ants.

It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive Earthman or merely enslave them.

One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves."
