A Woke Liberal Awakens

[edward37]

What happens when you are a Liberal with awareness, one who actually thinks, and you become aware of what your party has become?

You write an expose, hoping to shake other Liberals into consciousness.




1.“The Atlantic reporter’s liberalism comes face-to-face with the radical left’s transformation of American public education.

2. Few journalists are as respected by, and respectable to, liberals as The Atlantic’s George Packer…His latest piece for The Atlantic, “When the Culture War Comes for the Kids,” is essential reading…. it relates, in Packer’s haunted and sympathetic style, the experience of having a child enrolled in a New York City school system corrupted by politics. For anyone who believes in individualism, the freedoms of speech and conscience, and the equal dignity of human beings, the experience sounds like a nightmare.

3. … his son had made it off the wait list at their preferred public school. … “It was a liberal white family’s dream.” He, his wife, and his son became invested in the institution. “The school’s approach — …. caught his imagination, while the mix of races and classes gave him something even more precious: an unselfconscious belief that no one was better than anyone else, that he was everyone’s equal and everyone was his.”

Then, Packer says, “Things began to change.”


4. …left-wing cultural politics developed toward the close of the Obama presidency.
“At the heart of the new progressivism was indignation, sometimes rage, about ongoing injustice against groups of Americans who had always been relegated to the outskirts of power and dignity.”
Theories of intersectionality and of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” seeped into business, politics, media, and education. “Its biggest influence came in realms more inchoate than policy: the private spaces where we think and imagine and talk and write, and the public spaces where institutions shape the contours of our culture and guard its perimeter.”


The new progressivism, … “It was as a father, at our son’s school, that I first understood the meaning of the new progressivism, and what I disliked about it,” he writes."

This Liberal was smart enough to understand the insanity that has taken over the Progressive/Democrat Party.


Seems many are just too ignorant, or cowardly to admit the truth.

This from a people who let Donald Trump take over their party?
Please.

Never mind he's an abuser of power that going to foreign powers to ask for help in our elections aren't impeachable

Your objection to this is....what?



71. "Pence and other Trump enthusiasts can point to increasing macroeconomic growth. Growth rose 4.1 percent in the second quarter and is up more than 3 percent for the year. Unemployment was down to 3.9 percent in July. The S&P 500 stock index is up 6 percent since the Trump presidency, while the rest of the world's stock markets are down 6 percent. These are numbers any recent administration would boast about.


More notable are positive trends among subgroups that weren't doing so well before Trump took office. Former Obama administration chief economic adviser Jason Furman, writing for Vox, notes that in the past three years "recent wage growth ... at the low end of the wage scale" is stronger than growth among the higher-paid. Similarly, Bloomberg columnist and portfolio manager Conor Sen makes the point that job growth has been greatest among "goods-producing workers and the least-educated workers."

“America will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance, control and domination,” he told world leaders at the UN General Assembly. This country “will not tell you how to live or work or worship.” But we “ask that you honor our sovereignty in return.”

I'm sorry but this is just to ridiculous.

1) You assfucks let a con man liar, woman assaulter, business cheat, accused rapist, Trasher of veterans, bigot, racist, and reality show host take over your party. You have zero ground to talk about anything, person, or group taking over the Democrat party.

2) Your idea of education is teaching that God created everything, science is a joke, homosexuals are sinners, you have no control over your body, Muslims are evil. corporate greed rules, deficits don't matter, and God gave us the Earth to rape, pillage & plunder.

Every one of your posts are nothing but an effort to change the subject & divert attention to the disgusting, America killing asshole you put in the While House.

You were doing so well.....and, faced with embarrassment.....defaulted to typical Liberal vulgarity.

Science???


Did you say 'science'????

1. The ‘60’s saw lots of Progressives with lots of causes: Ralph Nader, car safety; the anti-nuclear movement; Paul Ehrlich’s “Population Bomb” infused progressive believers in neo-Malthusian ecology; Obama’s ‘Science Czar,’ John Holdren, wrote a book with Ehrlich that endorsed forced sterilization and mandatory abortion. Ehrlich, Ehrlich, and Holdren, “Ecoscience: Population Resources, Environment,” p. 786-787, 837.
   1. The key characteristic is the lack of emphasis on objective fact, and the focus on legislating ideology. And, of course, fighting anything and anyone who disagreed with their cherished ideas. Behold the modern Progressive: unscientific while claiming the mantle of modernity, denizens of a world where science is replaced by feel-good fallacies. Berezow and Campbell, “Science Left Behind,” p. 16.
2. For Progressives, science and technology are great…until they go too far! They oppose nuclear power, and genetically modified food, demanding that corporations prove a food or chemical is safe…rather than the common sense demand, wait for it to be unsafe. While claiming to wholeheartedly trust in science and scientists, Progressives do so only until scientific findings fail to uphold their cherished progressive values. When that occurs, the progressives accuse the scientists of transforming into shills for big industry.
   1. As soon as a cost-benefit analysis leads a corporation to do something that isn’t green enough, businesses are accused of putting profits over people.
3. Remember, for Progressives, postmodern relativism is the glue that binds all of their myths. Therefore, science doesn’t have a unique claim on secular truth, as in understanding the world in terms of natural laws…or, even that there are natural laws. Rather, science is “just another opinion,” an alternative to be turned to when it agrees with them. They may do as a doctor advises, and ‘get a vaccine,” or take the suggestion of a guru and drink herbal tea. Berezow, Op.Cit.
   1. So…they may refuse to admit the veracity of research that shows differences, say, between genders.
   2. And, since postmodern relativism puts the soft social sciences on the same level as hard science….there is little value to objective research.

Seems many are just too ignorant, or cowardly to admit the truth.

What happens when you are a Conservative with awareness, one who actually thinks, and you become aware of what Trump and your party has become?

Evidently, you try to divert by trying to paint the opposing party in a bad light as an effort to hide the stupidity, dishonesty and outright corruption of your own party.

Nice try but There is nothing you can lie about that will not pale to the shit Donald Trump has doneof which you approve.

Packing his pockets with government money, stealing children,. making air dirtier, water more polluted, creating a future for your own children that will be more difficult, skyrocket the deficit, and lie many times every day.

"What happens when you are a Conservative with awareness, one who actually thinks, and you become aware of what Trump and your party has become?"

I love when RealDumb posts, as he is the stereotype of the indoctrinated government school grad.

Watch this:


The Democrat Party is now running on full-blown anti-white racism, socialism, infanticide, opposition to free speech, substituting illegal alien voters for the American citizenry, and anti-Semitism… the knuckle-dragging, atavistic pagan party.

I can document every claim I made above.


"you become aware of what Trump and your party has become?"

How about you provide a comparable statement about what the GOP has become....and be able to document same.

Education is bad. Being uneducated & ignorant is good.

Pushing equality & raising minorities to the same rights is being anti white only of you are a white supremacist.

Why is equal rights harmful to whites?

There is no anti Semitism. There is anti Nitwitandyahoo. There can be disagreement with the policies of Israel and not be antisemitic.

There are plenty liberal Christians. Not like the fake Christians of the right that sit silent while Trump steals children & keeps them in camps, while Trump turns away people in need.

I can't believe you are so stupid to believe Democrats are killing infants. An example either of your stupidity or your immense dishonesty. Which is it?

The GOP supports lowering environmental standards.

The GOP supports higher deficits

The GOP supports allowing the President to override the power of Congress to determine where money is spent.

The GOP believes it is OK to steal children as a deterrent to illegal immigration & legal asylum seeking.

The GOP believes it os OK to do nothing on gun violence as children are being slaughtered.

The GOP believes in is OK for the President to lie to the American people

The GOP support discrimination against homosexuals

The GOP supports the President's effort to funnel money into his own pockets by direction militsary planes to refuel where the crews spend money at his resort, when he charges the Secret Service to rent his golf carts to follow him around, when he charged the Secret Service to use the elevator in Trump tower when they were providing security there, when he basically sells his access at his resorts and uses these as a place foreign government can buy favoribility by funneling money there.

The GOP believe that the US Senate is no longer part ofa separate branch of government but rather under the control of the President.

The GOP believes that it is OK to borrow 1.5 trillion dollars so rich people & well off corporations get huge tax breaks.

The GOP believes that slashing revenues while increasing spending is a financial plan for this country.

The GOP has totally thrown away any belief in science.

The GOP no longer believes in State's rights.

The GOP has turned their back on our country's poorest, our homeless, and our sick.

The GOP has dissolved into spineless panty waisted pathetic, poor excuses as leaders by allowing A piece of shit like Trump to take over.

WE have until the end of September to pass spending bills or we shut down the government & your second in command, Moscow Mitch, decide to start talking about it within ten days of the shutdown,. Republicans can't govern.

Little Miss Dishonesty strikes again spreading lies about John Holdren. That book was like a text book on over population where they discuss options. The authors clearly state that certain options were unacceptable.

Your post on this has been debunked a gazillion times.

Nuclear power creates a waste product that must be properly stored for decades. It is highly subsidized. They estimate the cost &time to dismantle Three Mile Island (closed yesterday) to take 60 yeas & cost a billion dollars. Not to mention the danger. There are 15 nuclear plants on the New Madrid Fault line of the same design as Fukushima. That is the science of it.

Most anti vaxxers I know are Conservatives. Wasn't Trump an antivaxxer?

Republicans believe the "science" as presented by corporate scientists. They believe in allowing corporations decide what is safe.

The vast majority of climatologists say Global Warming/Climate Change is real, You call it a hoax from China.

Social science is real. The idea you can not accept that one's gender is not just decided by the genitals. The GOP believes that people where the mental does not coincide with the physical should just STFU & suffer their entire life because they are too bigoted.

You don't believe in hard science so obviously you don't believe in social science.

Now. You have all your work ahead of you to prove this happens in small town West Virginia public school districts. South Dakota school districts. Montana public school districts.

Or do you really believe Brooklyn NY is the center of the universe, as so many New Yorkers do?

Packing his pockets with government money, stealing children,. making air dirtier, water more polluted, creating a future for your own children that will be more difficult, skyrocket the deficit, and lie many times every day.

"What happens when you are a Conservative with awareness, one who actually thinks, and you become aware of what Trump and your party has become?"

I love when RealDumb posts, as he is the stereotype of the indoctrinated government school grad.

Watch this:


The Democrat Party is now running on full-blown anti-white racism, socialism, infanticide, opposition to free speech, substituting illegal alien voters for the American citizenry, and anti-Semitism… the knuckle-dragging, atavistic pagan party.

I can document every claim I made above.


"you become aware of what Trump and your party has become?"

How about you provide a comparable statement about what the GOP has become....and be able to document same.

Education is bad. Being uneducated & ignorant is good.

Pushing equality & raising minorities to the same rights is being anti white only of you are a white supremacist.

Why is equal rights harmful to whites?

There is no anti Semitism. There is anti Nitwitandyahoo. There can be disagreement with the policies of Israel and not be antisemitic.

There are plenty liberal Christians. Not like the fake Christians of the right that sit silent while Trump steals children & keeps them in camps, while Trump turns away people in need.

I can't believe you are so stupid to believe Democrats are killing infants. An example either of your stupidity or your immense dishonesty. Which is it?

The GOP supports lowering environmental standards.

The GOP supports higher deficits

The GOP supports allowing the President to override the power of Congress to determine where money is spent.

The GOP believes it is OK to steal children as a deterrent to illegal immigration & legal asylum seeking.

The GOP believes it os OK to do nothing on gun violence as children are being slaughtered.

The GOP believes in is OK for the President to lie to the American people

The GOP support discrimination against homosexuals

The GOP supports the President's effort to funnel money into his own pockets by direction militsary planes to refuel where the crews spend money at his resort, when he charges the Secret Service to rent his golf carts to follow him around, when he charged the Secret Service to use the elevator in Trump tower when they were providing security there, when he basically sells his access at his resorts and uses these as a place foreign government can buy favoribility by funneling money there.

The GOP believe that the US Senate is no longer part ofa separate branch of government but rather under the control of the President.

The GOP believes that it is OK to borrow 1.5 trillion dollars so rich people & well off corporations get huge tax breaks.

The GOP believes that slashing revenues while increasing spending is a financial plan for this country.

The GOP has totally thrown away any belief in science.

The GOP no longer believes in State's rights.

The GOP has turned their back on our country's poorest, our homeless, and our sick.

The GOP has dissolved into spineless panty waisted pathetic, poor excuses as leaders by allowing A piece of shit like Trump to take over.

WE have until the end of September to pass spending bills or we shut down the government & your second in command, Moscow Mitch, decide to start talking about it within ten days of the shutdown,. Republicans can't govern.

Not a single one linked or documented.....

....all our of your fevered imagination.

Does trump believe in science yet ? Flood victims in Texas want to know

Science???


Did you say 'science'????

1. The ‘60’s saw lots of Progressives with lots of causes: Ralph Nader, car safety; the anti-nuclear movement; Paul Ehrlich’s “Population Bomb” infused progressive believers in neo-Malthusian ecology; Obama’s ‘Science Czar,’ John Holdren, wrote a book with Ehrlich that endorsed forced sterilization and mandatory abortion. Ehrlich, Ehrlich, and Holdren, “Ecoscience: Population Resources, Environment,” p. 786-787, 837.
   1. The key characteristic is the lack of emphasis on objective fact, and the focus on legislating ideology. And, of course, fighting anything and anyone who disagreed with their cherished ideas. Behold the modern Progressive: unscientific while claiming the mantle of modernity, denizens of a world where science is replaced by feel-good fallacies. Berezow and Campbell, “Science Left Behind,” p. 16.
2. For Progressives, science and technology are great…until they go too far! They oppose nuclear power, and genetically modified food, demanding that corporations prove a food or chemical is safe…rather than the common sense demand, wait for it to be unsafe. While claiming to wholeheartedly trust in science and scientists, Progressives do so only until scientific findings fail to uphold their cherished progressive values. When that occurs, the progressives accuse the scientists of transforming into shills for big industry.
   1. As soon as a cost-benefit analysis leads a corporation to do something that isn’t green enough, businesses are accused of putting profits over people.
3. Remember, for Progressives, postmodern relativism is the glue that binds all of their myths. Therefore, science doesn’t have a unique claim on secular truth, as in understanding the world in terms of natural laws…or, even that there are natural laws. Rather, science is “just another opinion,” an alternative to be turned to when it agrees with them. They may do as a doctor advises, and ‘get a vaccine,” or take the suggestion of a guru and drink herbal tea. Berezow, Op.Cit.
   1. So…they may refuse to admit the veracity of research that shows differences, say, between genders.
   2. And, since postmodern relativism puts the soft social sciences on the same level as hard science….there is little value to objective research.

Little Miss Dishonesty strikes again spreading lies about John Holdren. That book was like a text book on over population where they discuss options. The authors clearly state that certain options were unacceptable.

Your post on this has been debunked a gazillion times.

Nuclear power creates a waste product that must be properly stored for decades. It is highly subsidized. They estimate the cost &time to dismantle Three Mile Island (closed yesterday) to take 60 yeas & cost a billion dollars. Not to mention the danger. There are 15 nuclear plants on the New Madrid Fault line of the same design as Fukushima. That is the science of it.

Most anti vaxxers I know are Conservatives. Wasn't Trump an antivaxxer?

Republicans believe the "science" as presented by corporate scientists. They believe in allowing corporations decide what is safe.

The vast majority of climatologists say Global Warming/Climate Change is real, You call it a hoax from China.

Social science is real. The idea you can not accept that one's gender is not just decided by the genitals. The GOP believes that people where the mental does not coincide with the physical should just STFU & suffer their entire life because they are too bigoted.

You don't believe in hard science so obviously you don't believe in social science.

Let's prove that I'm never wrong.....

Holdren.....Obama's 'science adviser'????

1. John P. Holdren’s advocacy for a global planetary regime to enforce forced abortion, government `seizure of children born out of wedlock, and mandatory bodily implants designed to prevent pregnancy, Obama’s top advisor also called for,”Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods.”
   Holdren added that the sterilant must meet stiff requirements in that it must only affect humans and not livestock.
   
   “It must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock,” wrote Holdren with co-authors Paul Ehrlich and Anne Ehrlich.
   
   Holdren notes that the proposal to forcibly mass sterilize the public against their will “seems to horrify people” and yet it doesn’t seem to bother him too much, amidst the myriad of other totalitarian Dr. Strangelove style ideas that are put forward in the book as a way to carry out an aggressive agenda of population reduction.» Obama Science Czar’s Plan To Sterilize Population Through Water Supply Already Happening Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
   
   2. Paul Ehrlich was John Holdren’s close scientific partner. John Holdren is Obama’s science advisor. Paul Ehrlich proposed mass poisoning of water and food supplies in 1969.
   
   DISPLAYING ABSTRACT ]
   
   SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24--A possibility that the Government might have to put sterility drugs in reservoirs and in food shipped to foreign countries to limit human multiplication was envisioned today by a leading crusader on the population problem.

   Ehrlich 1969 : Wanted To Poison Water And Food Supplies | Real Science

Next for the reduction of population. The following quotes are all from the New York Times of November 25th, 1969, Page 19: “A STERILITY DRUG IN FOOD IS HINTED: Biologist Stresses Need to Curb Population Growth”:

“Some biologists feel that compulsory family regulation will be necessary to retard population growth. It is a dismal prospect – except when viewed as an alternative to Armageddon.”

Of course – compulsion requires us to believe that the only alternative is obliteration. But we would need to be convinced first of all that the choice was that stark. How could that be achieved? Ehrlich demanded the establishment of some sort of commission

“. . . with a large budget for propaganda.”

Inside the Mind of Paul Ehrlich


Book he authored in 1977 advocates for extreme totalitarian measures to control the population

Forced abortions. Mass sterilization. A "Planetary Regime" with the power of life and death over American citizens.

The tyrannical fantasies of a madman? Or merely the opinions of the person now in control of science policy in the United States? Or both?

These ideas (among many other equally horrifying recommendations) were put forth by John Holdren, whom Barack Obama has recently appointed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology -- informally known as the United States' Science Czar. In a book Holdren co-authored in 1977, the man now firmly in control of science policy in this country wrote that:

• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation's drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who "contribute to social deterioration" (i.e. undesirables) "can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility" -- in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational "Planetary Regime" should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans' lives -- using an armed international police force.

Impossible, you say? That must be an exaggeration or a hoax. No one in their right mind would say such things.

Well, I hate to break the news to you, but it is no hoax, no exaggeration. John Holdren really did say those things, and this report contains the proof. Below you will find photographs, scans, and transcriptions of pages in the book Ecoscience, co-authored in 1977 by John Holdren and his close colleagues Paul Ehrlich and Anne Ehrlich. The scans and photos are provided to supply conclusive evidence that the words attributed to Holdren are unaltered and accurately transcribed.

[UPDATE: Make sure to read the new statements issued by the White House and by John Holdren's office in response to the controversy raised by this essay -- you can see them below following the Ecoscience excerpts, or you can jump directly to the statements by clicking here.]

This report was originally inspired by this article in FrontPage magazine, which covers some of the same information given here. But that article, although it contained many shocking quotes from John Holdren, failed to make much of an impact on public opinion. Why not? Because, as I discovered when discussing the article with various friends, there was no proof that the quotes were accurate -- so most folks (even those opposed to Obama's policies) doubted their veracity, because the statements seemed too inflammatory to be true. In the modern era, it seems, journalists have lost all credibility, and so are presumed to be lying or exaggerating unless solid evidence is offered to back up the claims. Well, this report contains that evidence.

Of course, Holdren wrote these things in the framework of a book he co-authored about what he imagined at the time (late 1970s) was an apocalyptic crisis facing mankind: overpopulation. He felt extreme measures would be required to combat an extreme problem. Whether or not you think this provides him a valid "excuse" for having descended into a totalitarian fantasy is up to you: personally, I don't think it's a valid excuse at all, since the crisis he was in a panic over was mostly in his imagination. Totalitarian regimes and unhinged people almost always have what seems internally like a reasonable justification for actions which to the outside world seem incomprehensible.

Direct quotes from John Holdren's Ecoscience

Below you will find a series of ten short passages from Ecoscience. On the left in each case is a scanned image taken directly from the pages of the book itself; on the right is an exact transcription of each passage, with noteworthy sections highlighted. Below each quote is a short analysis by me.

Following these short quotes, I take a "step back" and provide the full extended passages from which each of the shorter quotes were excerpted, to provide the full context.

And at the bottom of this report, I provide untouched scans (and photos) of the full pages from which all of these passages were taken, to quash any doubts anyone might have that these are absolutely real, and to forestall any claims that the quotes were taken "out of context."

Ready? Brace yourself. And prepare to be shocked.

Page 837: Compulsory abortions would be legal

Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.

As noted in the FrontPage article cited above, Holdren "hides behind the passive voice" in this passage, by saying "it has been concluded." Really? By whom? By the authors of the book, that's whom. What Holdren's really saying here is, "I have determined that there's nothing unconstitutional about laws which would force women to abort their babies." And as we will see later, although Holdren bemoans the fact that most people think there's no need for such laws, he and his co-authors believe that the population crisis is so severe that the time has indeed come for "compulsory population-control laws." In fact, they spend the entire book arguing that "the population crisis" has already become "sufficiently severe to endanger the society."

Page 786: Single mothers should have their babies taken away by the government; or they could be forced to have abortions


One way to carry out this disapproval might be to insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption—especially those born to minors, who generally are not capable of caring properly for a child alone. If a single mother really wished to keep her baby, she might be obliged to go through adoption proceedings and demonstrate her ability to support and care for it. Adoption proceedings probably should remain more difficult for single people than for married couples, in recognition of the relative difficulty of raising children alone. It would even be possible to require pregnant single women to marry or have abortions, perhaps as an alternative to placement for adoption, depending on the society.

Holdren and his co-authors once again speculate about unbelievably draconian solutions to what they feel is an overpopulation crisis. But what's especially disturbing is not that Holdren has merely made these proposals -- wrenching babies from their mothers' arms and giving them away; compelling single mothers to prove in court that they would be good parents; and forcing women to have abortions, whether they wanted to or not -- but that he does so in such a dispassionate, bureaucratic way. Don't be fooled by the innocuous and "level-headed" tone he takes: the proposals are nightmarish, however euphemistically they are expressed

Page 787-8: Mass sterilization of humans though drugs in the water supply is OK as long as it doesn't harm livestock

Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock.

1.“The Atlantic reporter’s liberalism comes face-to-face with the radical left’s transformation of American public education.

2. Few journalists are as respected by, and respectable to, liberals as The Atlantic’s George Packer…His latest piece for The Atlantic, “When the Culture War Comes for the Kids,” is essential reading…. it relates, in Packer’s haunted and sympathetic style, the experience of having a child enrolled in a New York City school system corrupted by politics. For anyone who believes in individualism, the freedoms of speech and conscience, and the equal dignity of human beings, the experience sounds like a nightmare.

3. … his son had made it off the wait list at their preferred public school. … “It was a liberal white family’s dream.” He, his wife, and his son became invested in the institution. “The school’s approach — …. caught his imagination, while the mix of races and classes gave him something even more precious: an unselfconscious belief that no one was better than anyone else, that he was everyone’s equal and everyone was his.”

Then, Packer says, “Things began to change.”

2. - School's Nation of Islam Handout Paints Founding Fathers as Racists


"School's Nation of Islam Handout Paints Founding Fathers as Racists
The mother of an eight-year-old wants to know why a Tennessee school teacher gave her child a handout from the Nation of Islam that portrayed the presidents on Mount Rushmore as being racists.

Sommer Bauer tells me her son was given The Nation of Islam handout at Harold McCormick Elementary School in Elizabethton. The handout asked “What does it take to be on Mount Rushmore?"

The handout then explains that George Washington hailed from Virginia, a “prime breeder of black people.” Of Theodore Roosevelt, it was alleged he called Africans “ape-like.” There were also disparaging remarks made of Thomas Jefferson (he enslaved 200 Africans) and Abraham Lincoln.

The teacher also told Sommer that her son was not supposed to take the Nation of Islam handout home. It was supposed to stay in the classroom. That bit of news caused her great alarm.


“The fact that students were cautioned against allowing their parents to see anything is deeply troubling,” West told me. “The only reasonable explanation is they don’t want parents to know what it is their children are learning.”


So what’s the bottom line?

“We had a teacher who apparently never looked at something, never read something, before it was distributed to a class of third graders,” West said. “In addition, she warned the students not to take it home.”

That does seem a bit odd.

I’ve interviewed Sommer at least a half dozen times. Her story has remained consistent. The teacher gave Sommer two explanations for what happened in the classroom. The superintendent gave me a third.

I find it hard to believe an 8-year-old boy would steal a handout from a teacher’s desk, bring it home and then concoct an elaborate tale to cover up the crime."



3. "...many parents of children in public schools are deeply concerned, wondering if they should keep their kids in public school or just get out now.

For these parents, the transgender agenda is the game-changer. Under pressure from transgender activists, progressive politicians, teacher unions, and the education establishment, and despite parents’ opposition, America’s public schools are capitulating to ideologues and implementing the radical transgender agenda with full force.


...regardless of biological sex, .... Activists want every child, from kindergarten on, to learn that “sex” is something “assigned at birth” rather than a biological reality. They want children to think that individuals get to choose their own “gender identity” (not limited to male or female), and that everyone else must affirm that “gender identity” as true.


...nothing that parents (or teachers) can do to prevent the schools from imposing policies designed to indoctrinate children with gender ideology.

....“political scientists and foreign policy experts have used the term deep state for years to describe individuals and institutions who exercise power independent of—and sometimes over—civilian political leaders.” In public education, the “deep state” describes a coalition of various groups – including teachers’ unions, progressive advocacy groups, major corporations, and philanthropists --that work together to promote the progressive worldview..."

4. The National Education Association approved a new "business item" expressing support for abortion access during its annual conference in Houston.

"[T]he NEA will include an assertion of our defense of a person's right to control their own body, especially for women, youth, and sexually marginalized people," the resolution states. "The NEA vigorously opposes all attacks on the right to choose and stands on the fundamental right to abortion under Roe v. Wade."

The NEA is the largest teachers' union in the U.S. with more than 3 million members. It collected nearly $400 million from American educators in 2018, according to federal labor filings. The union is also one of the most politically active in the country, spending $70 million on politics and lobbying in 2017 and 2018. Nearly all of the union's political action committee spending went to Democrats during the midterm cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

5. the 20-minute video being shown in American classrooms entitled The

Story of Stuff; a catchy title to appeal to grade school kids. This piece of anti-capitalist propaganda was

put together by Greenpeace member Annie Leonard.







6. NYC schools allow kids to go on #ClimateStrike
“TEN YEARS. We have ten years to save the planet,” Mayor Bill de Blasio cautioned in a tweet. “Today’s leaders are making decisions for our environment that our kids will have to live with. New York City stands with our young people. They’re our conscience. We support the 9/20 #ClimateStrike.”

Legions of adolescent activists across the globe are expected to demand immediate action to combat climate change in advance of a major UN conference on the issue next week.

As long as mom and dad sanction their principled truancy, absent kids won’t have attendance records dinged, the DOE said.

The September 20th event will feature Sweden’s “Climate Crisis” sweetheart, 16-year old Greta Thunberg.

Teen activist and Swedish sensation Greta Thunberg, who recently docked her zero-emissions sailboat in New York, will speak at the event which will snake its way through lower Manhattan to Battery Park.

Kids with parental permission to attend will be granted excused absences from school, Education Department officials tweeted Thursday.

The infamous “Green New Deal” will be promoted as well.

The New York City climate strike is backed by more than 100 environmental and political activist groups and other institutions, including New York Communities for Change, The New School and the Sierra Club.

The protesters’ demands include a “Green New Deal” that would end fossil fuel extraction and move the nation onto entirely renewable energy sources by 2030. Green New Deal policies have been backed by the likes of U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Personally, if I were one of the kids, I might argue about going to school at all. After all, if the Earth only has 10 more years before we are going to die, wouldn’t it be better to spend the time having fun or spending quality time with family?

On the other hand, if the New York City school officials were really invested in solving the climate crisis, wouldn’t they emphasize science and math? Perhaps keeping the kids in school and having them conduct experiments or perform calculations would inspire an interest in real climate science.

One theory that seems to prove true and is certainly consistent with what is happening with the New York City schools: When global problems are emphasized by locals, serious local matters are being ignored.

Case in point: New York state test results for third- through eighth-grade public school students are out, and the results are underwhelming.

Statewide, more than half the kids flunked yet again: Just 45.4% were deemed proficient in reading and 46.7% in math. In the city, 47.4% passed the reading test, while 45.6% got by in math.

Think the problem’s skimpy funding? Sorry: In 2017, the Empire Center’s E.J. McMahon reported in May, New York shelled out 89% more per kid than the national average. And that gap has been growing fast: In 1997, per-pupil outlays here were just 45% above average.

…In the city Thursday, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza tried to spin the results positively. The pass rate in English, they noted, is up 0.7 percentage points — and three whole points in math.

“Growth counts for something,” Carranza insisted.

Huh? That paltry uptick is what they’re proud of? Even though more than half the kids bombed? Please.

Notably, kids in the one category of public schools de Blasio and Carranza (and their union pals) don’t run — i.e., the charters — beat their counterparts in the regular schools by more than 10 percentage points in both English and math.

At least the kids won’t be flying private jets to attend the event. That makes them substantially less hypocritical than the celebrities who will be indoctrinating them during the Manhattan event.

4. The National Education Association approved a new "business item" expressing support for abortion access during its annual conference in Houston.

"[T]he NEA will include an assertion of our defense of a person's right to control their own body, especially for women, youth, and sexually marginalized people," the resolution states. "The NEA vigorously opposes all attacks on the right to choose and stands on the fundamental right to abortion under Roe v. Wade."

The NEA is the largest teachers' union in the U.S. with more than 3 million members. It collected nearly $400 million from American educators in 2018, according to federal labor filings. The union is also one of the most politically active in the country, spending $70 million on politics and lobbying in 2017 and 2018. Nearly all of the union's political action committee spending went to Democrats during the midterm cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

6. NYC schools allow kids to go on #ClimateStrike
“TEN YEARS. We have ten years to save the planet,” Mayor Bill de Blasio cautioned in a tweet. “Today’s leaders are making decisions for our environment that our kids will have to live with. New York City stands with our young people. They’re our conscience. We support the 9/20 #ClimateStrike.”

Legions of adolescent activists across the globe are expected to demand immediate action to combat climate change in advance of a major UN conference on the issue next week.

As long as mom and dad sanction their principled truancy, absent kids won’t have attendance records dinged, the DOE said.

The September 20th event will feature Sweden’s “Climate Crisis” sweetheart, 16-year old Greta Thunberg.

Teen activist and Swedish sensation Greta Thunberg, who recently docked her zero-emissions sailboat in New York, will speak at the event which will snake its way through lower Manhattan to Battery Park.

Kids with parental permission to attend will be granted excused absences from school, Education Department officials tweeted Thursday.

The infamous “Green New Deal” will be promoted as well.

The New York City climate strike is backed by more than 100 environmental and political activist groups and other institutions, including New York Communities for Change, The New School and the Sierra Club.

The protesters’ demands include a “Green New Deal” that would end fossil fuel extraction and move the nation onto entirely renewable energy sources by 2030. Green New Deal policies have been backed by the likes of U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Personally, if I were one of the kids, I might argue about going to school at all. After all, if the Earth only has 10 more years before we are going to die, wouldn’t it be better to spend the time having fun or spending quality time with family?

On the other hand, if the New York City school officials were really invested in solving the climate crisis, wouldn’t they emphasize science and math? Perhaps keeping the kids in school and having them conduct experiments or perform calculations would inspire an interest in real climate science.

One theory that seems to prove true and is certainly consistent with what is happening with the New York City schools: When global problems are emphasized by locals, serious local matters are being ignored.

Case in point: New York state test results for third- through eighth-grade public school students are out, and the results are underwhelming.

Statewide, more than half the kids flunked yet again: Just 45.4% were deemed proficient in reading and 46.7% in math. In the city, 47.4% passed the reading test, while 45.6% got by in math.

Think the problem’s skimpy funding? Sorry: In 2017, the Empire Center’s E.J. McMahon reported in May, New York shelled out 89% more per kid than the national average. And that gap has been growing fast: In 1997, per-pupil outlays here were just 45% above average.

…In the city Thursday, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza tried to spin the results positively. The pass rate in English, they noted, is up 0.7 percentage points — and three whole points in math.

“Growth counts for something,” Carranza insisted.

Huh? That paltry uptick is what they’re proud of? Even though more than half the kids bombed? Please.

Notably, kids in the one category of public schools de Blasio and Carranza (and their union pals) don’t run — i.e., the charters — beat their counterparts in the regular schools by more than 10 percentage points in both English and math.

At least the kids won’t be flying private jets to attend the event. That makes them substantially less hypocritical than the celebrities who will be indoctrinating them during the Manhattan event.

2.

This Liberal was smart enough to understand the insanity that has taken over the Progressive/Democrat Party.


Seems many are just too ignorant, or cowardly to admit the truth.

I completely believe this of the New York City Public school district schools. Without reservation.

Now. You have all your work ahead of you to prove this happens in small town West Virginia public school districts. South Dakota school districts. Montana public school districts.

Or do you really believe Brooklyn NY is the center of the universe, as so many New Yorkers do?

It's nation-wide.....stop being a dope;

2. - School's Nation of Islam Handout Paints Founding Fathers as Racists


"School's Nation of Islam Handout Paints Founding Fathers as Racists
The mother of an eight-year-old wants to know why a Tennessee school teacher gave her child a handout from the Nation of Islam that portrayed the presidents on Mount Rushmore as being racists.

Sommer Bauer tells me her son was given The Nation of Islam handout at Harold McCormick Elementary School in Elizabethton. The handout asked “What does it take to be on Mount Rushmore?"

The handout then explains that George Washington hailed from Virginia, a “prime breeder of black people.” Of Theodore Roosevelt, it was alleged he called Africans “ape-like.” There were also disparaging remarks made of Thomas Jefferson (he enslaved 200 Africans) and Abraham Lincoln.

The teacher also told Sommer that her son was not supposed to take the Nation of Islam handout home. It was supposed to stay in the classroom. That bit of news caused her great alarm.


“The fact that students were cautioned against allowing their parents to see anything is deeply troubling,” West told me. “The only reasonable explanation is they don’t want parents to know what it is their children are learning.”


So what’s the bottom line?

“We had a teacher who apparently never looked at something, never read something, before it was distributed to a class of third graders,” West said. “In addition, she warned the students not to take it home.”

That does seem a bit odd.

I’ve interviewed Sommer at least a half dozen times. Her story has remained consistent. The teacher gave Sommer two explanations for what happened in the classroom. The superintendent gave me a third.

I find it hard to believe an 8-year-old boy would steal a handout from a teacher’s desk, bring it home and then concoct an elaborate tale to cover up the crime."



3. "...many parents of children in public schools are deeply concerned, wondering if they should keep their kids in public school or just get out now.

For these parents, the transgender agenda is the game-changer. Under pressure from transgender activists, progressive politicians, teacher unions, and the education establishment, and despite parents’ opposition, America’s public schools are capitulating to ideologues and implementing the radical transgender agenda with full force.


...regardless of biological sex, .... Activists want every child, from kindergarten on, to learn that “sex” is something “assigned at birth” rather than a biological reality. They want children to think that individuals get to choose their own “gender identity” (not limited to male or female), and that everyone else must affirm that “gender identity” as true.
