Public schools around the country will be reopening later this month for another yearly go at the three B's–Brainwashing, Baloney, and Buffoonery. Only this year it might even be worse than before, and Heaven only knows, it's been bad before.
World Net Daily had an article up recently by John Aman dealing with the brainwashing part of this called U.S. History Takes a Drastic Left Turn This Fall. The article started off with: "High school history teachers nationwide will give their top students a dark retelling of U.S. history this fall, courtesy of the College Board, a nonprofit readiness firm led by Common Core architect David Coleman. The College Board–which administers AP (advanced placement) courses and tests–is rolling out a revised curriculum framework for AP U.S. history, offering the 450,000 students who take AP U.S. history classes a hero-free account of America's deeply stained past." The fact that someone affiliated with Common Core is involved with this should tell you where it's going right off the bat.

The American Indians did not have a totally balanced ecological system, there were abuses in some of what they did, it's just that there were not as many of them so as to make it all that noticeable.
As far as Europeans "introducing" slavery into the Americas, some of the Indians already had slaves–other Indians they had captured or stolen from other tribes. The American Indians were no strangers to slavery. And as far as preserving the ecology, some tribes in the West used to run herds of buffalo over cliffs when hunting, and they could never use all the meat they killed that way so they took what they wanted and left the rest to rot.
Aman observed: "Larry Krieger, who has taught U.S. history for 35 years and written numerous widely popular AP and SAT exam prep books, said he reacted with shock and dismay when he read the framework earlier this year." Krieger said: "It's relentless left-wing indoctrination, antithetical to everything I believe about teaching and our country's history…Leaving aside its very leftist bias, it is a very poorly written, unprofessional document…boring and dispiriting."
And Aman also duly informed us that: "It's also an anonymous document. While the College Board convened two committees composed of 27 college professors and teachers to oversee the new curriculum, the actual author or authors and the process used to produce it are unknown."
So this thing is going to be used for advanced history students in public high schools and we don't even know who wrote it! Doesn't that seem a little strange? Nothing to see here folks, just move along! Larry Krieger stated, quite accurately: "When they hired David Coleman, the chief architect of Common Core, they effectively politicized the College Board.
The first thing he did was to yoke the SAT to Common Core, and now we're going to apply Common Core principles to AP courses." You folks whose kids are going to take SAT tests had better take note of that. If your kids have not yet experienced Common Core (sometimes referred to as Commie Core), they may not do real well on the new SAT tests.
Common Core is nothing more than a project to totally standardize all education to fit a government standard, and I mean ALL education. In the end it will affect home schoolers, kids in Christian schools and all others. Unless parents can get their states to renounce this program of total government control of education their kids will be stuck with it forever.
The current Marxist administration, as well as past administrations and future ones, wants to totally control all aspects of our lives and education is one of the biggest of those aspects. If your kids don't think along the lines the ruling elite desire for them, they might ask embarrassing questions, might even question the right of "authority" to do certain things. Might even become "low-level terrorists" who are guilty of "thought crime." However, if you are willing to sign on with Commie Core, excuse me, I should have said Common Core, why all that can be avoided and your kids can be educated to become docile little servants of the World System.
If you want to find out just what Common Core and related federal education programs are all about I would recommend a DVD put out by the John Birch Society called "Common Core." It's 70 minues long but it's worth watching if you want to begin to grasp what does on in public schools and what they have in mind to do to your kids. The Birch Society can be contacted at 800-342-6491.
Public "education" in this country as always been leftist and anti-Christian. This is nothing new, but the leftists have now reached a point where they feel they can totally rewrite the history and most of America's parents won't know the difference. Over the past 3 years I have had numerous articles on this blog spot that dealt with the continuing leftist slant to public education. And lots of other folks have dealt with it too, not just me. For those that don't care one way or the other, just go ahead and ignore it all–and lose your kids in the process–but don't ever come back and say "Why didn't someone tell us?"
