Is this unconscionable outrage only occurring in the Tuscon, AZ school district?

0bama's Race to the Top program has big strings attached. The sinister thing is it plays on American competitiveness in its title. Everyone wants free money (/s), especially if we have a chance to "win". Maybe we can get property tax relief, right?

Expect an 0bamaite supervisor to be assigned to your district. Hope you weren't attached to the administrators your district hired, or the older teachers nearing retirement. Sucking the truth out of your curriculum is next, followed by a little social engineering.

That’s why Obama and Governor Perry have been fighting over Federal aid for education. So, Obama singled out Texas with a bill requiring it to maintain education spending. Perry says it’s unconstitutional.

The Texas Board of Education managed to approve a social studies curriculum that will put a conservative stamp on History and economics textbooks.
