Is it right for teachers to tell students THIS FALL not to cast blame for 911?

When we already know who is to blame and its not stupid white men as stupid liberal leftwing nut Mike Moore says.

What do you think?

[PoorMuttly]

No.

[Bella_Bru]

First of all, I want to know why they would spend time discussing who is to blame when test scores are in the toilet already. Leave that up to the parents. But, if they will insist on skipping the trig lesson to discuss casting blame, then they ought to be honest and tell them it was radical Muslims who honestly believe 1400 B.C. was a cool time to be alive.

[Husker24]

This has to be stopped somehow.

[TLBSHOW]

So what will they teach them about 911 that week in the schools across America?

[BOBTHENAILER]

Teachers are tools; blame , shame, defame, flame, beat their friggin' game, make them lame, in other words, hammer their backwards asses into shame.!!!!!!!!!!!

[What Is Ain't]

I heard about this NEA sponsored foolishness on the Drudge Report tonight.

Yes, the children should be told who is responsible for this outrage considering the fact they may be fighting these same people in the not too distant future.

[Bella_Bru]

Teach it in history class, and teach that it was a move made by psychotic Muslims (as opposed to the few normal ones I have met) because they despise our way of life and our support for Israel.

[Allegra]

I have friends in New Jersey who are keeping their kids out of school that day because they don't want them exposed to what they are sure will be a bunch of liberal tripe.

First question to your childs school should be what is the escape plan in case of an attack and how do we get our children?

The 911 plans for the school class, what are you telling my child?

[MissAmericanPie]

Are the schools planning on doing this?

[Bella_Bru]

First question to your childs school should be what is the escape plan in case of an attack and how do we get our children?

Unlikely they'd let you come get your kids. How many times have you seen on the news a school locked down for some reason? They don't let the parents come get their kids until they and the police deem it "safe".

[ASDFGHJK]

Nope. When Dan Rather lied at the camera on Sept 11, 2001 (he said, "we do not know who did this"), I turned to my family and said, "He's lying. We do know who did this. It was Osama bin Laden and his people."

"Fools said I do not know
silence like a cancer grows...."

It is my understanding that they are.

What business does 22 "non-profit" organizations have messing with curriculum? When are we going to put a stop to government funding of these "organizations"? When are we going to file class action lawsuits against those organizations for one sided propagandizing?

[MJY1288]

Of coarse not. A teachers role is to teach not to judge. Present the facts and let the students decide. Anything else is sensorship.

Since the late sixties the Liberals focused their attention on education and they have been very successful in breaking down the family unit as well as the basic belief that every citizen must be held accountable for their actions.

The facts must be presented and the proper blame should be placed on those who carried out the attacks of 9/11. Most if not all reasonable people of this country have come to the conclusion that nothing can excuse what was done to us on 9/11 and we must respond in a way that makes it very clear that there will be a heavy price to pay if you attack the USA.

No country on the planet has shed more blood defending or liberating the defenseless and the oppressed than the United States of America. It is our responsibility to make sure our children are not subject to the "Blame America First" teachings of the Liberals who do not believe in personal responsibility.

how about this one the WP is the teacher? Washington Post KidsPost

[TLBSHOW]

from what I read that is what the plan is, don't really blame, but lets look into what may of been to blame and why they would do what they did.
More commie liberal bs if you ask me. Lets stop it before they can do it. If we all called the schools this week to voice that opinion of truth. They will have to tell the truth.

[MJY1288]

I have been raising objections to the way our children are taught for many years. Personal responsibility is critical to our survival IMHO
