We'd better get these vile liberals under control.
I can't wait until the command is given to "Gather and Bind the tares".

"As long as it's not included with any sort of political message...

While you're awaiting the Command, check out the materials to see if there is, indeed, an additional political message.

“I think we should trust our teachers and the history books”


HELL! That’s the problem distribution of the booklets is trying to correct!

It’s just about the same as saying “hi, I’m the government and I’m here to help you.”

Do you suppose they would accept and distribute copies of the Constitution if they had no additional material attached?? I doubt it.

Of course all of the overtly political leftist messages handed down from the NEA are okay.

I wonder if they think the textbooks have no “political message”.

There’s no way you present the Constitution without framing it in some kind of worldview. This particular case is ensuring that the political view of the academia is the only view the kids get.

The same thing holds true for “positive tolerance” policies, sex ed, etc. The only way to exclude every political view is to limit the content that is addressed by the schools - which would require AT LEAST getting rid of social studies altogether (including all branches of history, government, geography, and psychology), some health and science, and all the multi-cultural and diversity stuff.

This is why the whole idea of government-run and -funded public schools was taboo in the early days of our history; government-run indoctrination is very close to the “establishment of religion”.

I used to have several reproductions of historical American documents (Declaration of Independence, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, etc) on parchment like paper. One had a little red tassel attached. They also had advertizing around the periphery (a gasoline service station, as I recall).

We've all heard the horror stories of the liberal propaganda is in the textbooks. Fox News ran an expose special hosted by Tucker Carlson a couple years back.

The fact of the matter is that the schools have been taken over by the progressives, and as always happens when the progressives control something, the schools are failing. We throw money at it (where it goes would be an interesting discovery) yet the quality of education is in free-fall in the USofA compared to other nations that spend a fraction of what we spend.

To these Florida school administrators the Constitution is like a cross to Dracula.

Check out The Cartel a 92 minute documentary free on line. (H/T to FReeper big bad easter bunny) and "Waiting for Superman".

Something has to be done to reverse the failure of the American education system, and it begins by eliminating the progressive control.

Hernando School Board Member, John Sweeney - checking in.
Our county is in fact, very patriotic. Per Florida Statute, every day during the last week of September, the students recite the following; “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” In addition, I visited our schools and personally handed the booklet containing the Constitution, Declaration, Gettysburg address... to many appreciative students, parents, and teachers. As long as I am a School Board member, our founding documents will see the light of day.
