canada Teaching Anti-Americanism

[Nutz]

Given the fact that there is this Ted Cruz love affair among the low-information pseudo-conservatives...I thought I would begin to educate you guys on the facts about canada and canadians.

Did you know that canadians, throughout history, have been teaching their children to hate America and Americans. Given the fact that Cruz was born in canada and still has not renounced his canadian citizenship...perhaps you should wonder how much anti-American drivel has been instilled in his thought process.



Anti-Americanism spoonfed to Canadian grade school kids
by Judi McLeod

`
It’s not just overreaction or Yankee imagination. Anti-Americanism is not only alive and well, it’s spoon fed in Canada.

And it stems from a taxpayer paid source: the classroom.

The Three `Rs, Canada style, have been teaching school children as young as grade school an image of Americans as dishonourable, churlish and even bullying. This less than admirable image emerges in a study, presented this week to the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, hosted by the University of Manitoba.

Amy von Heyking is a professor of education at the University of Alberta. A specialist in the history of curricula and teaching materials, von Heyking relied on actual Canadian classroom textbooks--75 of them--used in Canadian history, geography, civics and social studies courses in elementary and secondary schools.

Ironic that the release of the study coincides with the 60th Anniversary of D-Day.

The Canadian grade school set get their anti-Americanism during the school day.

Down through the decades, in Canadian textbooks American society has been portrayed as revolutionary and lawless. America’s contribution to World War 1 is dismissed, textbook form, as coming late, when the tide had already turned.

They even go as far as to teach Michael Moore's, Fahrenheit 9/11 as fact:

It has just come to my attention that the Bush-bashing 2004 documentary film “Fahrenheit 9/11,” written and directed by leftist American filmmaker and political commentator Michael Moore, has been added to my daughter’s high school curriculum in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Surprisingly, no other viewpoints were presented to counterbalance this extremely anti-American, biased film in which Moore airs all of his disapproval of American society. By showing only one side, the school has actually endorsed Moore’s film and all it represents.

Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 accuses Bush of orchestrating 9/11, claiming it was an inside job. No blame is placed on al-Qaeda or any other Islamic terrorist group, which suggests that the United States is as morally corrupt as al-Qaeda, the Taliban or any other jihadist terrorist organization. The students of “Current Politics” walked away from this film with a very one-sided biased viewpoint: hating America. And this view is further reinforced by a socialist agenda that is being pushed in class by the same teacher who, like multi-millionaire Moore, is against at the capitalist nature of American society.

And, apparently canadian propaganda is working:

The 'evil empire' is next door, youth say

Evil is a word usually reserved for serial killers, Austin Powers villains, and kids who tear the legs off baby spiders. But, a new poll shows a significant number of young Canadians would use "evil" to describe their U.S. neighbours.

By The Ottawa Citizen June 27, 2004



Evil is a word usually reserved for serial killers, Austin Powers villains, and kids who tear the legs off baby spiders.

But, a new poll shows a significant number of young Canadians would use "evil" to describe their U.S. neighbours.

In a telephone poll of 500 teens aged 14 to 18, more than 40 per cent of respondents saw the U.S. as an evil global force. Among French-Canadians, that number jumped to 64 per cent.

Ontario proved the most conflicted on the issue; there, nearly one-fifth of youth were on the fence.

"Teens have taken (Ronald) Reagan's concept of the Soviet Union as an evil empire and turned it back on the U.S.," says Rudyard Griffiths, director of the Dominion Institute.

"Clearly, the anti-American sentiment isn't just something coming from 30-somethings or even 20-somethings."

Avnish Nanda, a 15-year-old from Edmonton, says he sees the American government as neither totally good nor totally bad.

"When George (W.) Bush came into power, he was a real force of evil, getting into a war people say was about oil," Avnish says. "But all over the world, America gives aid to countries whether they deserve it or not, and that's really good for people."

NEVER TRUST canada and canadians.

This has been a public service announcement to prevent conservatives from backing a canadian idiot for President of the United States.

Given the fact that Cruz was born in canada and still has not renounced his canadian citizenship...perhaps you should wonder how much anti-American drivel has been instilled in his thought process.

Quoted just enough to demonstrate having caught the essence.

What's troubling is that you're finding fault over Canada doing, in its schools, precisely the thing that America is doing in our schools.

Hypocrisy? Or just that you haven't noticed what's being taught to OUR children?

We SHOULD be teaching our children that canada is insignificant and rightly American land...but we do nothing of the sort. Schools (and Universities) today teach our children that canada is significant...which it is not. Nowhere have I ever seen American textbooks and classes go as low as canadians go to defame their might neighbor.

Nope, can't find any examples. We treat canada very well...too well to be honest. If it weren't for the US, canada would be a Mexico to the North.

Hey, it sounds similar to US classrooms.

The current score is Canada 2...U.S. 0.

Good one !

an image of Americans as dishonourable, churlish and even bullying.

America's actions toward Canada have often been just that.

Teaching truth is not anti-American.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

This is nothing new, Canadian's have lifted their noses towards Americans for many a year.

Most of the hate is from the east (like our northeast) and the ones that do like us are usually in western Canada. Them damn French/Canadians are as bad as the French.

What actions towards canada by Uncle Sam have been negative. Please be specific. I can remember canadian politicians calling all Americans stupid and one going as far as stomping on a Bush doll. I can't recall the US ever being nothing more than a great neighbor to these ungrateful hypocrites. Hell, we support canada!

Since you gave nothing affirmative to your stupid ass OP, I have no obligation but one of making you eat your stupidity.

(1) We invaded Canada in the War of Independence and got our ass kicked.

(2) We invaded Canada in the War of 1812 four times and got our ass kicked three times.

(3) We have always tried to manipulate economic and currency decisions against them.

Stop being stupid.

Stupid is a state of unwillingness to learn, Nutz, not the inability to learn.

Stop being stupid.

Nobody cares about Canaduh or what they think. Waste of time.

They are the number one importer of oil to us.

Oh liberals up here have used the divide for forever. Trudeau used that from the get go. Is this a surprise?

Let's talk stupid. In the War of 1812...canada did not beat us, nor during our war for Independence. They were British...canada and canadians had nothing to do with it.

Oh hurt my parts. We have awesome donuts, pretty good hockey, we're your number one supplier of oil, we don't want to behead you (yet you give us 4 more years of dems and I'm thinking about it) and we're sorry about justin bieber and celine dion but think about RUSH.

Come on here.

 

[tinydancer]

You know what is really so funny. We're probably the craziest countries to live as they say out here and in Quebec "side by each" and all of us who live in the border world love each other. Maybe other parts of the countries don't know.

How we live so close and really love each other day in and day out. I don't think other countries do. Its a good thing that we have.

 

[Sherry]

My experience with Canadians are all of those snow birds who flock down here during their winter months...I've found them to be nice people, but they must be the ones who weren't successfully indoctrinated.
