The teachers and students resist. Yes, the teachers disagree with teaching students truth.
Fire the teachers, flunk the students.
And DO NOT allow the federal government to dictate your curriculum.
No mistake - this protest is teacher led.
Colorado has changed, and not necessarily for the better.
Topics that promote “respect for authority”?
This group of students were protesting against the changes in AP History curriculum and censorship.

Colorado High School Students Organize Walkout to Protest History Curriculum Changes

High school students in Colorado have organized walkout protests to take a stand against proposed changes to history curriculum that would emphasize positivity, while doing the opposite with issues of civil disorder. Today, hundreds of students from about five different schools walked out to protest the Jeffco School Board’s proposed review.
One student explained, “An idea is to censor a lot of U.S. history so they can’t talk about some of the negatives, or they don’t want to talk about civil disobedience, which is censorship. And censorship’s communism, censorship’s national socialism, censorship is terrible.”
This is merely a proposal, it has not been instituted yet. But the proposal involves the promotion of “citizenship, patriotism, essentials and benefits of the free-market system, respect for authority and respect for individual rights” while not covering or barely glossing over material that would “encourage or condone civil disorder, social strike or disregard of the law.”
The Amerikan public school system is a WHORE..... get thee out of her!
Most AP US History classes teach using the Howard Zinn book or philosophy. America causes evil in the world. Wealth creates poverty. Liberty is slavery, etc.
We need to take back the classroom. There’s just not enough homeschoolers to turn this around. Vouchers now.
Ping; I thought you might find this interesting.
this is what happens to a state when CA Leftists move in in droves. Texas, take this as a warning!
School children taught to sing "Mmm Mmm Mmm Barack Hussein Obama" (VIDEO)
Drove by one of the student groups yesterday. They were out with nonsense signs saying “Honk if you like history”. I was fairly uninformed about it until I saw articles around here (I don’t pay attention to local news mostly, neither liking the local papers or watching the news programs).
Honestly I’m more surprised that conservatives managed to get control of the school board, but I suppose lefty overreach of late has engineered some pushback.
No doubt it is a Zinn curriculum which is currently in place, and any deviation from ‘hate America first’ is denial of history according to good lefty indoctrination.
Absolutely. Flunk the students, and FIRE the damn teachers who refuse to teach kids what they need to know.
Conservatives took over the JeffCo School Board recently and this is a union led protest.
It doesn’t take much to encourage students to skip school.
That’s some good little communists y’all are raising in Colorado.
Everyone gets a Zero for each day and every class missed. See how they like repeating the same grade next year. High School students cannot be allowed to run the schools.
Amen!
When I see these students I think stupidity and indoctrination.
Most were probably protesting just to protest. They didn't even know what the heck they were protesting. The rest were probably happy to get a day off from school.
The American Citizens Handbook (The American Creed, as it was known before the 60’s) would be banned in public schools now, I guess. Full of quotes and inspiration about America, biblical references, founding documents.
NEA bought it from 4H in 1941 and published it until 1969, then they abruptly stopped production and buried the last 10,000 or so copies. Get one while you can.

Respect the authority of your “conservative” socialist bureaucrats and other robbers hooked up with them? Most people are no longer fooled. They’re not conservative.
