Government Schools Harm Hispanics

Frequently, left-wing ideologues manage to harm the very people they claim they are aiding. “When your government and your school are constantly telling you that you’re a victim of a racist society who needs protection, you may start believing it at some point,” Mike Gonzalez writes in the recently released book, A Race for the Future: How Conservatives Can Break the Liberal Monopoly on Hispanic-Americans. mike gonzalez book

Gonzalez shows, in part, how government schools are failing Hispanics. “In May 2010, the American Psychological Association (APA) published a handful of studies conducted on Latino students, and they had their share of good news and bad news,” Gonzalez writes. “The good news was that overall, Hispanic immigrant parents care a great deal about their children’s academic future and provide the tough love necessary for success.”

“The bad news was that the longer their children were in the U. S. public school system, the more they slipped away from their parents’ grasp and got involved with bad peers and the worse they performed academically.”

Unfortunately, as Gonzalez shows, in some schools, doing well academically will not even guarantee you a good education. “If you’re a Hispanic in California, then, you will go through 12 years of primary education hearing about repression against you as a Mexican; if you go to college, the message will only be amplified,” Gonzalez observes. “That’s sixteen years of indoctrination.”

“Then, when you get out, if you’re an entrepreneur, there’s a huge array of benefits.” Regrettably, as Gonzalez demonstrates, in California, even charter schools, usually a viable alternative for Hispanics seeking an education, may also be suspect.

“A miniscule example from a charter school backed by the National Council of La Raza would be amusing it if weren’t so troubling,” Gonzalez avers. “Academia Semillas del Pueblo (Sees of the People Academy) is ‘dedicated to providing urban children of immigrant families an excellent education founded upon native and maternal languages, global values and cultural realities.’”

“The school tries to replicate pre-Columbian practices and ‘the Aztec numeric system,’ which is based on 20, as well as follow the ‘indigenous Mexican political form,’ the calpulli.”

Ultimately, the Left, which has created education programs such as the aforementioned, has little moral authority on matters educational, or much else. Conservatives can fill this void. In the cogently argued and well-documented book, Race for the Future, Gonzalez persuasively argues that their need to do so is imperative.

“Poll after poll confirms that illegal immigration rarely makes it into the top five issues that most concern Hispanics,” Gonzalez writes. “It is education, the economy, and the family—the issues we have taken up here—that trouble them most.”

“A frank discussion with Hispanics is thus required on whether they are content with their minority status, their dependency on ‘entitlements based on their status as “victims” in the wise words of Linda Chavez, the consequent breakup of the family, the educational achievement gap, and the threat of a Latino underclass.”

Such an approach, Gonzalez convincingly posits, is far from the impossible dream many conservatives seem to think it is. “Allowing liberals free access to the hearts and minds of such a great number of people makes no sense, especially when one considers that many of the Hispanics who do not vote (and Hispanics have the lowest voting participation of all the groups recognized by the U. S. Census) tell pollsters that they are largely conservative.”

That is similar to the kind of thinking that created the segregated schools after The Civil War.

Then, 50 years later, those of the similar mindset condemned segregated schools.

A similar mindset is the one that brought us plastic bags. Paper bags were evil, they would proclaim, until most of the known universe turned to plastic bags.

Now, several decades later, a similar mindset is trying to get plastic bags banned.

They are never happy, even when they get their own way. If their agenda gets sidelined, they just wait a few decades and try again [such as with Global Cooling/Warming/Climate Change.

Subversive Texas Textbooks vilify conservative groups;
Politicized Process Criticized By Texas Freedom Network

In 2006, Texas Rising states its mission " developing an emerging generation of social justice-minded, informed and engaged leaders is essential to the long-term health of our communities and the development of progressive public policy in Texas."

...a sneak peak at the preliminary Social Studies textbook findings TTT has found including distortions, omissions and half- truths all passing for accurate high school history..."The radical right consists of groups that sometimes gather under the flag of militant anticommunism.

Often known as reactionaries, they denounce most forms of government regulation, including progressive taxation and restrictions and industry. Strangely enough, these radicals would not hesitate to use the government's police power to enforce the changes they desire. Examples of political groups on the radical right are the John Birch Society, the National States & Rights party, The Christian Crusade, and the Tea Party movement.

=============================================

CONTROVERSY College Board exams changed history answers... revisionist historians developed different answers to the question of what America’s story is about. From their perspective, at the heart of our country’s history—like the history of any other powerful nation—lies the pursuit of empire, of dominion over others. At its core, say the revisionists, America’s history is about our capacity for self-delusion, our endless attempts to justify raw power grabs with pretty fairy-tales about democracy. ....

NOTE WELL: This terrifying revisionism is straight out of Third World textbooks---emphasizing the T/W effort to undermine US ntl security for the coming armed takeover.

The conniving T/W uses an ancient formula going back to Greco-Roman times---where savages, barbarians and thieves overrun a bountiful country lusting after its power and riches.

REFERENCE Some 10 years back, Texas schools started used Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including:

<><> anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints;

<><> Mexican textbooks falsified US history,

<><> proselytized blood-thirsty La Raza savagery;

<><> using teaching as brainwashing;

<><> inculcating violent separatist, latino supremacy idealogy.

=================================================

The WH ding-a-ling's obsession w/ emptying out the Third World into the US is turning US schools into refugee camps........w/ big plans to inculcate the savage illiterates w/ hate-America, anti-American ideology....IOW reliable Democrat voters.

==============================================

REALITY CHECK A primetime network news segment focused on an "impoverished" latino mother who paid big bucks to get her son coached to take the College Boards---but he was so stupid, he still couldn't pass them. So the C/B decided to "change" them so that Pedro could pass using subversive Third World revisionist US history.
