(D)escriptions, written by Twin Cities area high school teachers, of how their schools teach literature classes. This one comes from Edina High School, which was once known as an excellent institution:
Acceptance and inter-cultural understanding can be fostered through the use of powerful texts, discussion, analysis, and exploration in the classroom. An English curriculum grounded in social justice rests on a belief based in equity—that each person should have access to resources regardless of race, gender, ability, age, socio-economic status, or sexual orientation.

Educational malpractice, as is the approach described in the original article.
I have zero control over public schools as one parent. I would never relinquish responsibility or control of my children’s’ education
In my religion, we have to answer to God for how we educated the children He entrusted to us The public education system is not as powerful as that
As God
People don’t look at it that way and just get away from it even though they can But they can. And they owe it to not only the kids but to our country to be a family and raise kids to be civilized
I know I won’t be able to say to God, we’ll I had to do what they told me to do in the free country America that you provided
Because the real reason would be I gave my kids to the public school and liberal Marxist college academia because it was too inconvenient to not do what ‘everyone else’ was doing
Nothing worthwhile. Lies and more lies about America.
I am sorry.
Reasoning is taught by the Humanities. Here’s a long but great piece on what they really are: the mind’s ‘weapon’ http://www.honorshumanities.umd.edu/105Readings.pdf

Amen!
My children are learning lots of science and their Greek and Roman literature, but they’re cruddy at math. I plan to fix this.
That was cool.
I did go to college, but didn't graduate right away. I had some friends who regularly invited me to their gatherings. They all had graduated from the University of Dallas and their parties always had about 6 or so professors in attendance.
My very first party I sat there, well I am sure I was wide-eyed, because they spoke of those things I had never heard of before, pretty much like what was in the Clemente course. It was fantastic. I would always come away from the party feeling as though I wanted to have in my brain what they had in theirs.
My goal became finishing my college at UD, and I was able to complete that goal in 2009 with a degree in history. I could not wipe the smile off my face on graduation day.
Outstanding! Congratulations!
I don't just "wish" it was stronger, I'm working to make it stronger. We need to be leaders, not just additional voices in the surrender monkey chorus.
"When the progressives penetrated the GOPe THEY dealt a fatal BLOW to morale... i.e. Karl Rove and minions"
I disagree. They dealt a blow, but it's not fatal. We need to have the guts to step forward, take the sucker punches, the slings and arrows, and fight back. In doing so, we'll show courage to the meek, cowering would-be conservatives that have been convinced that they're out of step, that they're the minority. People follow courage, but someone's gotta show it first.
"Most likely by the NEW GOD.... Givernment."
If we allow that to happen, especially if we don't do anything to oppose it, the real God will never forgive us. We owe it not just to ourselves, our kids, and the brave Americans who died over the last 239 years to give us this great Republic, but to God and Jesus as well, to oppose evil with every fiber of our collective being.
I dunno...it seems most FReepers have lost their will to fight, and have just given up. It's a damn shame, too. We're the ones who should be setting the example for others to follow.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
If we allow that to happen, especially if we don’t do anything to oppose it, the real God will never forgive us.
ITS ALREADY HAPPENED... is happening.. and will continue to happen..
When the commies take over.. they are very good at it..
Proven total success in many situations..
Can take a hundred years for it to run it’s course..
Only good result (I know of) from commie take over was from Gen Pinochet in Chile..
BUT he needed to murder ALL or most all the commie sympathizers..
AND communist(socialist) community organizers..
THEN Chile could “right itself”..
I was really hoping that was true about Einstein and posted it on fb, but then read what snopes had to say. They said it was false. Still it is something to think about.
Isn't this in the HEART of LIBERALism in America?
We get what we pay for!
It makes ME feel better to blame others!
We are to blame for our problems — not just in education, but everywhere — because we sit idly by and let it happen.

2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,
then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
