I wonder if the Teacher’s Union scumbags will take a “nuanced” approach to teaching about Martin Luther King Day and discuss the adultery and plagiarism as well as his Civil Rights leadership?

"And we talked about how he was very, very mean, very bossy."Imagine that, an Admiral in charge of an exploratory fleet of 3 ships being 'bossy'. It's almost as if he thinks he's "in charge of everything" or something.

Naw, the fleet would have been no good unless it was democratically managed.

"I talk about the situation where he didn't even realize where he was," Kolowith said. "And we talked about how he was very, very mean, very bossy."How convenient, he could use the same material for discussing President Obama!

And every January does Jeffrey and his fellow “educators” also tell the naive little boys and girls about MLK’s alleged whoremongering, adultery and plagiarism?

“”In their own verbiage, he was a bad guy,” teacher Laurie Crawford said.”
....and of course indigenous peoples of this hemisphere were just great....despite their enthusiastic participation in torture and mutilation,incessant tribal warfare, canibalism, burning at the stake, slavery, human sacrifice and euthanasia.

"The students were forced to stand in a cafeteria and not allowed to eat while other students teased and intimidated them apparently so they could better understand the suffering indigenous populations endured because of Columbus, Korten said."
The darker side of the left.

Why burden kids with all the negative crap? When they’re older and IF public school hasn’t beaten the desire to learn out of them, they can research and learn more on their own without it being tainted by a liberal/progressive idiot teacher and curriculum.

“Columbus being the founder of the United States, doesn’t sit well with a lot of people, myself included,” said Paul Prussing, deputy director of Alaska’s Division of Teaching and Learning Support.:
And there ladies and gentlemen is what is wrong with education. Even those leading education are uneducated and more concerned with political correctness. Columbus founded the United States? What a dunce. I hope someone in Alaska reads this.

To complete the picture, then the teasing and intimidating students should have been hauled to the principal’s office in irons.

Airdrop that moron teacher in to Cap Haitian Haiti.
To: Chet 99
And we talked about how he was very, very mean, very bossy.
Imagine that-- the commander of a ship sailing to the edge of the known world, full of men who are becoming frightened and mutinous, being bossy and mean. I'm shocked. Really I am.
