cept police academies, military training, and such),
and replaced with private schools and home-school-
ing. But as long as we have public schools, they
should do what they are supposed to do. If they
claim to teach history, they should teach real
history. If the people of South Dakota tolerate
this, and do not raise h--l with their school boards, they are unbelievably despicable fools.
It is sad to realize the lack of cognitive and reasoning ability in those who govern the education of the next generation. I am including many parents in this indictment. The upcoming generation is being systematically stripped of decision-making ability by not giving them the background to this inform their decisions. We are bringing up the largest generation of "victims" the world has ever known.
they probably go to the E.R. over it. -- j

"I believe that we violate the child's nature and render difficult the best ethical results, by introducing the child too abruptly to a number of special studies, of reading, writing, geography, etc., out of relation to this social life" and.
" I believe, therefore, that the true centre of correlation of the school subjects is not science, nor literature, nor history, nor geography, but the child's own social activities."
Though long dead, his ideas still rule our classrooms.

I've been talking history and politics with them at the dinner table since they were little. I didn't rely on the school system.
But the one's born Jan 2001 and later has you said will do nicely. though they are by modern standards at child bearing age.
That means I could be a great grandparent like my sister and she's younger than me? Nah.. I've made a career out being 39 and I'm sticking to it.
Example: I acquired a high school civics textbook published in 1894 written by a Constitutional scholar from Iowa. In it, he laid out how when the soon-to-become State of Utah would be admitted into the Union, the federal government would be "relieved" of the responsibility of managing the public lands within the new State. You guessed it - there is no Constitutional authority for the federal government to keep these lands upon statehood.
And this was being taught in High School. Gee.
They themselves are NEVER accountable.
Now you know the creatures your dealing with right down to the sub atomic level...
They are just not human.

Then...I get chills.
But a program that espouses the removal of the first 100 years of American history does not play into either of these agendas. It does make me wonder if the program also omits world history prior to 1900.
I do not understand what is going on here.

I do like the way they couched teaching creationism into a bill called Academic Freedom. It is an excellent example of 'freedom' being spun until it is dizzy. Makes you want to teach the flying spaghetti monster, doesn't it?
Jan
he was attacking my right shoe!!! -- j
p.s. I think that kids should explore all of the predominant
spaghetti monsters, to know what they are and that
they are out there lurking.......

Being a fan of Mr. Holland's Opus I would go straight to sports and turn the school into the far superior European or for that matter Mexican system.
So now it's my turn to have a leftist look in the mirror and describe himself in reference to me. I have truly arrived and am honored by the compliment. BwahahaHAHAhahahahhhhaHHAAHHAHA. What evil lurks in the minds of man? The Shadow knows.
That's a real one. you want more echo effect.
Whatever shall I do? (turns pale and fans herself)

South Dakota should have taken a lesson from Florida. Some few decades ago the Business Associations voted to drop the space for High School Education and use it for something useful. That started a trend reversal until Common Core showed up but I hear it's returning. The easy way is start advertising for entry level work stating Junior College required.
But seriously, I have watched them to no end because the reality of that history scares the crap out of me. And always has since being a kid in the 60's. I got enough history from school as a kid to be aware enough, but the in-depth history is intense.
In some ways the fact that these Hitler and WWII documentaries are so popular is that there is a healthy interest coming from the younger generations in that history. A lot of it starts with the basic question of Daddy (now granddaddy), what did you do during the war? And it just goes from there. But in that, there is a good sign for hope.
I've never really believed in teaching, and I may be getting more militant about the entire educational "area behind the curtain". morons.
