The hits keep coming, as I knew they would.

And Americans either are excited for the change, or just don’t care. Either attitude is toxic.

A handful of oligarchs should not be determining the curricula of millions of schoolkids.

>>More than 300 “leading scholars”

Are Noam Chomsky or Bill Ayers among them?

Aren't there any Conservative billionaires who are willing to invest their good fortune on future generations?

Or are iPhones and private jets and thousand dollar bottles of wine all they care about?

We know now why the statues had to be destroyed.

My wife and I (HS Grads in early 1970s) were debating why our 40 something year old kids are such Libs. You know that old saying, you a liberal till you get your first pay check. Well these kids are 20 years into there professional lives earning some serious bucks, so why?

We came to the conclusion that when we went thru HS some 50 years ago, they actually taught history, American Govt, and I even had Comparative Political Systems (Capitalism, Socialism, Communism) and it had a certain USA is great propaganda spin to it, and why shouldn’t it? It is OK to be proud of your homeland. Nobody will fight & die for their country like our parents did in WW2 if they think their country sucks.

We agreed that our kids did not get this type of education and that is why they are Libs.

“We agreed that our kids did not get this type of education and that is why they are Libs.”

They got the opposite. America was illegitimately founded, and has been a force for evil for years. Coming from people of authority, (teachers), it’s a powerful message.

The author rants incessantly and deservedly about the provenance of this new initiative.

And says nothing of the proposed curriculum itself.

Just like those he attacks, he elevates where it came from above what it says.

Check out this other thread:

Most college students think America invented slavery, professor finds

“For 11 years, Professor Duke Pesta gave quizzes to his students at the beginning of the school year to test their knowledge on basic facts about American history and Western culture.

The most surprising result from his 11-year experiment? Students’ overwhelming belief that slavery began in the United States and was almost exclusively an American phenomenon, he said.”

Whenever somebody says we invented slavery, I ask who built the Pyramids? And my next question is who sold the slaves from Africa as many were spoils of war.

Regarding INTRAstate education, patriots are reminded both President Thomas Jefferson, in a State of the Union address, and Justice Joseph Story, had indicated that the states would first need to appropriately amend the Constitution before the feds could dictate policy, tax and spend in the name of intrastate schooling, something that the states have never done.

If patriots would work with their local and state governments to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, then the states would ultimately find new revenues for schooling and a lot of other things.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Yes, but this isn’t what kids are being taught in school.

And they have no idea who sold the slaves in Africa. I think they mostly assume that white Europeans went to Africa and captured them somehow as part of “evil” colonialism.

It's up to Grand Parents to ensure their kids have the material to teach their Grand Kids.

Lord knows our kids don't have access to meaningful education material for their children.
