Ithaca Schools Grade Kids on Compliance with Liberal Agenda
Ithaca City School District
Posted on 12/14/2001 11:19:45 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest
I was recently given a copy of the official Ithaca City School District report card for all elementary schools within the district. The very first thing that children are graded on is:
"Respects others of varying cultures, genders, experiences and abilities."
Thus it would appear that children are actually being graded on their political views, on their allegiance to the PC multicultural agenda.
I consider this an outrageous infringement of the First Amendment freedoms of the children and their parents. Obviously no one should be permitted to physically disrespect another child, but surely a child should be entitled to stand up and state that he believes that his culture, gender, etc. are superior to others.
Oh, and by the way, in the "Social Studies" section, the only items that kids are graded on are "Multi-Cultural Education" and "All About Me Unit". Nothing about citizenship, history, etc.!

I have a scanned copy of the report card in my computer and would like to post it if someone could explain how to do this in HTML. It is not an online picture with a web address, simply a scanned document.

Where is Ithacta? NY?
To: Doug From Upland
Perhaps you could do a story on this for Newsmax.

If you have a IP that offers a free webpage (such as AOL or EarthLink), use it to post the scanned file and post it. Then just type <img src=(address of the pic)> and post it just as you would any other post.

Ithaca is in Central New York, about 50 miles south of Syracuse. It is home to very liberal Cornell University, which accounts for its liberal tilt. Not long ago it had a self-described socialist as mayor.

Good suggestion, RK. I will prepare and submit something to Newsmax.

If you are really outraged, you must have moved to Ithaca recently. :)
The demonic otherworldliness of Ithaca's public school system is a frequent topic here.
We have a critical mass of current and former Ithacans (Cornell/Ithaca College alums) to keep the threads alive.

School is sure a lot different than when I was a kid. I was never exposed to this crap that passes for education. Shades of 1984! So if you raise your children according to your own values the schools will thumb you in the eyes for it. Now we know where all the future Rat voters are coming from. They're a product of the multicultural politically correct public school system. Incidentally one that Republicans are helping to build by funnelling tax dollars into. Don't y'all just love the irony of liberals helping conservatives to dig their graves... With even more liberals coming home at the end of the school day to boot. Gee thanks Principal!

I don't subscribe to either, but will keep looking for a free host. I have to run to the gym now, but if later I'm able to post it I'll ping it to you and the others on the thread. Thanks.

I've been here for a while, but this is just so blatant and outrageous, to actually see in print that kids are being graded on their political views!
To: katherineisgreat
A lot of donations to the Toons' defense fund were mailed from Ithaca. That should tell you something right there.

13 - The madness is so ingrained they feel comfortable putting it in print. That IS scary.

LOL. A hands-on class no doubt!

Thus it would appear that children are actually being graded on their political views, on their allegiance to the PC multicultural agenda. Yep. And just think - once school vouchers get entrenched and the private schools and homeschoolers get used to and dependent upon the federal money, the same thing will be happening in private schools and homeschools. Think I'm kidding? Not even. That's precisely the plan.

"I have a scanned copy of the report card in my computer..." You'll need software similar to "TextBridge Pro" that takes the scanned image and turns it into an edittable document. After that you would need to format it by hand using the proper HTML tags then cust and paste it onto FR.
Do a Google for Freeware or Shareware that might do this. My PC came with TextBridge and it works very well.

This is scary. Scary stuff like this spreads. What happens if they fail "Multiculturism 101"? Do they go to indoctrination camps? What about academic subjects? Are they graded - A,B,C,D,F? Obviously, people in Ithaca approve of this nonsense or it wouldn't happen. There are some cities people should just stay clear of.
