What Are Your Kids Learning In School?

(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.

To Date: Republicans HAVE NOT addressed, faced, and dealt with the OBVIOUS massive voter fraud.. THEY MUST BE SHOCKED... evidently.. unless they are cowards.. AND then..... the effort(then) is a waste of time..

So, then what? The answer is to resign ourselves to the loss of everything we hold dear, and accept the future as envisioned by the likes of Obama?

It would seem that that's what you suggest (i.e., "When the Communists take over.." ).

I think not.

No, the answer is to turn up the volume AGAINST such a treasonous outcome -- despite what the spineless jellyfish in Congress do (or do not do).

If you want to shock the Republicans, you'd better change your tone from one of resignation, to one of furious indignation.

Great reference from DuncanWaring:

Recall the words of Adm. James Stockdale on his 7+ years checked-in at the Hanoi Hilton:

"This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be."

I’m not trying piss off republicans... seems to be an impossible task..
(( IF )) the bad guys have taken over... (AND THEY HAVE)...
Am just sorting thru facts for an occasional “truth”..

Seems like the elections have been rigged for decades now...
Rigged with yearly updates for fine tuning and deniability..

Thats ASSUMING there are NO GOON Squads i.e. IRS, CIA, FBI, NSA, various Military, not to speak of the UNIONS..
You know.. paying members of Congress, Supremes etc.. visits to get their minds right..
With threats to their family members, careers, personal health, or repetitions.. aka.. Vince Foster..

My “TONE” is one of discovery.. not picking up a TURD by the clean end..

[Windflier]

Too many FReepers are speaking defeatism and wringing their hands, making excuses instead of doing something. I'm sick and freakin' tired of the surrender monkeys and the "America is finished mindset".

Right there with you, brother.

The Surrender Monkey Caucus around here has nearly killed this patriot community. They've run amok for years now, and no one but the Dawg Soldiers appears to be doing anything to get them to knock off their demoralizing drivel.

As Lincoln once said, if we Americans are ever to be defeated, it won't come from beyond our borders -- it will come from within. Every defeatist scribbler on this website is accomplishing that very end, whether they realize it or not.

[Windflier]

My “TONE” is one of discovery.. not picking up a TURD by the clean end..

Yes, and your "discovery", is that all is lost. America is finished. We're toast. The Commies have won.

Have I got that about right?

Please explain to me how sharing such a "discovery" with your fellow Freeps (or congressional Republicans) is going to motivate a single person to stand up and fight back?

According to you and the rest of the Surrender Monkey Caucus, there's really no point.

Not recognizing defeat when you’ve lost.. is a delusion..
delaying the setup of an Under-ground resistance..

The longer “the Resistance” is delayed the stronger gets the enemy..
And opportunities for penetration of the enemy(ranks) are lost..

America is NO longer a capitalist republic.. it must be faced...
AND the U.S. Constitution is merely wallpaper...
Not seeing this clearly is delusional..

I agree with much of what you say above, but I strongly disagree with you on how to best communicate that to our compatriots and fellow Americans.

Continuously pounding in the message that "America is finished", will not cause others to organize resistance, or rise to this historic occasion. What it does do, is demoralize and weaken those on our side, and strengthen the resolve of the enemies of the republic.

Better to admit the truth of how dire the situation is, while exhorting your fellows to stand and fight to save (and restore) this amazing country of ours.

[hosepipe]

I see.. fighting a losing battle (is in your opinion) WISE...
I say it’s wasted effort.. siphoning off useful energy..

Better to use the enemy’s strengths against him.. i.e. Sun Tsu..
Exploit his weakness to the limit..

It takes many lies to cover up ONE “double-edged” TRUTH...
“Truth” inserted at the proper time IS A Strong WEAPON...

That is IF... you HAVE THE TRUTH.. and are not AFRAID OF IT!..

[bobby.223]

Well well well fellow DAWGS, lookie what we have here! Yep, another surrender monkey! I figured another ‘Alex W’ would show up to continue that quitter sort of garbage and presto! So: “awaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy we go”!!! (A little Jackie Gleason blast from the past there!)

[hosepipe]

Demoralizing the already demoralized is not possible.. DUH!..
Pissing them off is very possible... and can be FUN!..

A pissed off conservative can be a strong force...
A motivated force once you get them off the couch... unhooked from football and the six-pack..

[wku man]

I'm stuck on stupid? No, you just apparently don't get it. Voting is not what I'm talking about here. Sheesh...I guess I'm going to have to spell it out for you, since you can't think beyond two dimensions.

I'm talking about all the stuff we could be doing -- but aren't -- in the years between elections. I'm talking about the things we could be doing to affect change in our local and state elections as well. Just voting earns you a "D" on your civic duty test. Voting alone isn't enough.

I'm talking about -- and I've already said this -- community organizing. I'm talking about getting out in your neighborhoods, and your hometowns, and knocking on doors for candidates and causes. I'm talking about taking over your local Tea Party group if they've turned into nothing more than a bunch of lazy do-nothings. I'm talking about organizing rallies in your parks, on your capitol steps, in front of your congresscritter's local office, and in the streets of your town. I'm talking about getting up off your lazy a** and knocking off the excuse-making. Otherwise, why are you still here? Why don't you just turn chicken tail and run away to the Philippines, like so many other cowardly FReepers are doing?

Look, you are the problem...you and those like you. You're weak, you're scared, you're more interested in making excuses for your inaction than you are in fixing the problem. Just do this nation a favor and run away to another country, 'cause trying to motivate you to do your duty as an American is a waste of time. The surrender monkey, "America is finished" crap is getting damn old, and damn boring, so give it a rest.

I may be stuck on stupid, but you're stuck on coward.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Windflier]

A pissed off conservative can be a strong force... A motivated force once you get them off the couch...

And you're going to do that by telling one and all that everything's lost??

Right.

Get back to me on that when you've sobered up.

[wku man]

"CLUE: in 2012 in the republican PRIMARYS(sic).... "

EXCUSE...everything you say is an excuse for your lazy cowardice. Run away, run away...

Don't bother writing me anymore. Cowards bore the hell out of me.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

From Michael Collins:

“We have our refusal.”

LoL.... you’re diversions do work on some..

[DuncanWaring]

Your grammar’s a bit weak, too.

[wku man]

That's okay, brother Dawg...a motivated minority, like the Manger Dawg Pound, can accomplish much. Just look at the War for Independence. Only about 3% of the population fought against England, the most powerful nation on Earth at the time. But those few thousands defeated King George, and won freedom for the cowardly majority. Guess we Dawg Soldiers are just going to have to follow in their footsteps here on FReep.

Dawg Soldiers up!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[wku man]

"Don't bother writing me anymore. Cowards bore the hell out of me."

What part of this do you not understand? Do I need to write it in crayon? Go away, coward. Make your excuses to someone who cares.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Windflier]

I see.. fighting a losing battle (is in your opinion) WISE... I say it’s wasted effort.. siphoning off useful energy..

"Useful energy" to do what? Bravely run away?

I get it. It's much wiser (in your opinion) to keep pounding in the idea that our side has lost, and that there's nothing we can do to arrest the downfall of our country.

Yeah, that'll inspire the troops to find their courage -- NOT.

[wku man]

Cool! I remember you posted this once before, but I couldn't remember the movie. It's bookmarked now. Thanks, brother Dawg.
