(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.

Anyone who does not take education of their children as parents’ responsibility is asking for trouble, and for the country, as well as individuals.
We can not blame schools.
Parents condone it.
We are a free country, parents are not forced into this.
Get your children out of the government schools (indoctrination centers) - NOW!
Going Through the old McGuffy readers, it is interesting to note that nearly all the stories deal with some aspect of virtue or right behavior. Children are not equipped for moral relativism. THey need hard and fast rules.
Watch the newer children flicks, all the bad guys have some redeeming quality, they are never all bad. WHile this is likely true in real life, this is a difficult concept for children to process. On Seasame Street monsters are our friends. In Grim’s Fairy Tales, monsters are nasty things ready to do great harm. When you start getting outside of religion evil ceases to exist and we seek reasons why people are bad, when the reality is there are some very nasty people in the world seeking to do great harm. IF you can get children to rationalize that the bad guys have a misguided ideal of good, it isn’t to far off for the good to become misguided and seek draconian action in the name of good.
Interesting home page — thanks for the info about homeschool curricula there.
This is probably why businesses crave uneducated, illiterate illegal aliens for workers. These indoctrinated children are good for little more than being welfare recipients - probably intentionally.
We can not blame schools.
Yes we can.. The “schools” are several systems instead of one..
The progressives OWN the Unions.. all of them..
And EVERYTHING Union is corrupt treasonous and the enemy of Capitalism..
Therefore Anti-American..
I did not read any great works or any socialist works for that matter, so I did not have to write any papers. When it came time for college, even though I am no dummy, I was not prepared for college English.
I found out later that the class I was in was the experiment for the rest of the English department at that high school. I don't know if they fully implemented it afterwards, but it did leave me with a hole in my education.
The one thing that always bothered me was the fact that every class ended with all the other students complaining about their parents. I didn't chime in because I love my parents and the last thing I would do is air out anything in public. It was really a class in sensitivity training.
So, what I would like to add is that most of public education today is geared to sensitize the students for amoral issues that are directly opposed to the morals of their parents.
The good news is, there's still time to fix things, if we all get off our a**es, right now, and start fighting back. The First Amendment is in the BoR so we don't have to resort to the Second...not right off the bat, anyway.

Thanks,
I really believe todays great societal problems are fathers falling away from Christ, lack of father parenting, and the government schools (indoctrination schools).
So I encourage people to get their children out of the government indoctrination centers; either with good Christian school or homeschool.
I have homeschooled for many, many years. It is a big step, but can be done.
Tell the government to shove it, but taking the most precious items that God has given you, your children, and raise them in the admonition of the Lord.
We can defeat the Leftist evil, if we God-fearing conservatives get up, lace up the Reeboks, grab the protest signs, and hit the streets like we did in 2009 and 2010. If we make our presence known, they'll shrink and cower like they did in November 2010. Remember, we surround them.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
parents have zero control over public schools, zero
you don’t want to know
they’ll shrink and cower like they did in November 2010. Remember, we surround them.
The morale of conservatives is in the dumper.. (as planned)..
How do you win.. by destroying the enemys morale.. i.e. Sun Tsu.....
You can “wish” it was stronger, BUT it isn’t..
When the progressives penetrated the GOPe THEY dealt a fatal BLOW to morale... i.e. Karl Rove and minions
It’s Boehner and McConnell that FINANCED Obamas activities[all of them]..(ON PURPOSE)
NOT the democrats..
The christian God is being deported (from the U.S.) regularly the vacuum WILL BE FILLED...
Most likely by the NEW GOD.... Givernment..
Critical progressive mass has been reached..
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

In other words, everything she wouldn't be taught in a Public School....
In other words white boys are learning they are the root of all the world’s evil. Black children are learning they are entitled to everything and not responsible for their lives. All kids are learning they are destroying the planet and that homosexuality is just dandy.
