Sure let's teach the kids lies and ignore SCOTUS decisions stating the exact opposite of what is being taught. Stupid school!

look up "Common Core".....you'll get sick.

How do you think I feel being told to TEACH common core. The good news is, I'll "teach" the curriculum given to me, and spin it in just the right way that the students think for themselves and draw their OWN conclusions.

Fortunately, we didn't have any of that in our day. We knew who the superior races were and how the government saved the American Indian. We didn't have to worry about anything except Communists and melted ice cream. In my day they taught the truth.

Do they really have a "non-disclosure" agreement attached to it?

I've never been told to sign anything like that. In our school system, it's treated as a way to align ourselves with International Baccalaureate programs. The sticky parts come up when we talk about environment or human rights, and they don't want to step on someone's toes and offend anyone...unless its Americans, that is. We're supposed to be ashamed of our greedy ways and destruction of the planet.

From What I've seen....we are the reason for 9/11.....we should apologize for our prosperity....the common good is more important than freedoms....etc

[greatgoogamooga]

There is an emphasis on being part of a global community and looking at the impact of our actions on other people. Any references to the generosity of our country is politely ignored. After all, we're not doing anything SPECIAL.

I know the new history books give just as much page realestate to the Japanese camps here in America.....as they do the liberation of Europe.

Ain't that the truth! Those were the simpler times.

And....that's the point of Ken's article. Each teacher will always take a certain "spin" on things depending on their world views. I would do it if I were a teacher. That is also why I try to teach my kids to not believe everything their teacher says....only what I say.

Actually, I was saying that I'll spin the lesson in such a way as to let the kids decide what they believe. I have not been given a lesson on the second amendment to teach, but if I did,I would first let read the amendment as it stands, no reference point, then I would give them the article/lesson cited here, then also give them a copy of the Heller case ruling and let them decide if the constitution is a "living" document and each generation determines the meaning of the second amendment.

I have done this with global warming lessons. I have yet to see a lesson showing more then one side of that story.

You forgot your "BAZINGA!" again

Ooops! My bad. I did. A great man once said for satire to work it has to have a wisp of truth to it.

But then, one would need to posses a wisp of irony to get it.
