Supreme Court fails to correct Fourth Circuit's imposition of Islam

[PoliticalChic]

"You cannot hold teachers accountable for that which they cannot control."

I haven't made it so succinctly, but that is exactly my message, time and again.

It is the Liberal control of the system that is responsible for both the aim at indoctrination, and at the lack of real education.


1. Control is by those who follow the communist John Dewey and the communist Paulo Freire, who never intends “pedagogy” to refer to any method of classroom instruction based on analysis and research, or to any means of producing higher academic achievement for students. [H]e relies on Marx’s standard formulation that “the class struggle necessarily leads to the dictatorship of the proletariat [and] this dictatorship only constitutes the transition to the abolition of all classes and to a classless society.” In one footnote, however, Freire does mention a society that has actually realized the “permanent liberation” he seeks: it “appears to be the fundamental aspect of Mao’s Cultural Revolution.”


2. The “Massachusetts miracle,” in which Bay State students’ soaring test scores broke records, was the direct consequence of the state legislature’s passage of the 1993 Education Reform Act, which established knowledge-based standards for all grades and a rigorous testing system linked to the new standards. And those standards, Massachusetts reformers have acknowledged, are Hirsch’s legacy.

In the new millennium, Massachusetts students have surged upward on the biennial National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)—“the nation’s report card,” as education scholars call it. On the 2005 NAEP tests, Massachusetts ranked first in the nation in fourth- and eighth-grade reading and fourth- and eighth-grade math. It then repeated the feat in 2007. No state had ever scored first in both grades and both subjects in a single year—let alone for two consecutive test cycles. On another reliable test, the Trends in International Math and Science Studies, the state’s fourth-graders last year ranked second globally in science and third in math, while the eighth-graders tied for first in science and placed sixth in math. (States can volunteer, as Massachusetts did, to have their students compared with national averages.) The United States as a whole finished tenth. E. D. Hirsch’s Curriculum for Democracy

I think you are seeing the whole of American education through some strange lens that is Brooklyn or Queens or whatever uber-liberal NY lens you live in. It is absolutely true that some areas of the US have been entirely given over to the worst of "liberal indoctrination".

It is also true that--thank GOD--NY is not America. In fact, I have been to over half of US states and NY is the ONLY US city so far I never, ever want to visit again. I barely recognized my country there. Sadly.

As to your article there: as usual a very good read, and the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Students, especially young children, cannot discover "knowledge" if they are ignorant, generally. I don't mean "ignorant" as a slam, btw, I mean they must be taught basic knowledge, skills and facts. I have no problem with this. At the same time, simply drilling them on these all the livelong day is a waste of their human potential. They must also then learn to APPLY what they have learned in the real world. To create, problem solve, etc. So really a balanced view is best--the "sage on the stage" teaches, and when the students have gained necessary knowledge and skills, "the guide on the side" is there to advise.

It's nation-wide.

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.

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.

There is no hope for America unless the occupation of the school system by Liberals is over turned.

First you'll get no argument from me about the NEA; that's why I don't belong. Second, your teacher stories here are anecdotal. You know we live in a vast, very diverse nation. The little elementary school in Littletown, Nebraska looks nothing like the schools in NYC or Berkeley, CA. It would be ridiculous to think they do.

They are from all across the country.


Open your eyes: the teaching profession has moved away from you, as the Democrat Party has moved from America.

Eh, they're talking points. Conservatives have a nugget of truth about teachers and schools and then get totally overblown with it in the very same way Leftists go on about cops.

No, stop and really think about that.

When you all go glossy eyed about how all schools are Leftist Indoctrination Centers, you sound to me exactly like Leftists sound when they go on about all cops being racist haters who are out to shoot blacks. It's irrational. It's fundamentally irrational. I cannot convince you with my experience INSIDE the system for 25 years nor even my very own self. Again, you take nuggets and anecdotes and paint an entire system, mostly for your own personal gain, to convince yourself that your own choice is correct. (homeschooling). This is what Leftists do, again, with police officers. Have at it, but I can't reason with it.

Really???

Nonsense theory. Religion probably cannot and will not be eliminated from humanity, culture, and history, and I didn't imply that. People's belief systems are here to stay, most likely. But the term "religion" is generic, and you appear to be arguing that the curriculum must be tailored to your particular choice from among the many religions practiced in this world and to your particular choice from among the many variations of Christianity.

Our children's curriculum is predicated on biblical Christianity just as it is in many parochial schools. It's the foundation of all wisdom. It informs all that we teach our children, including math, science, history. . . .

You're just not a very bright bulb, Lysistrata, and like all dull bulbs, you lack self-awareness, insight and empathy.

News flash: your religion is materialism/ontological naturalism and all the dogma that comes with it. If you want to indoctrinate your children accordingly, do so at home or a private school of your choice. Do so on your own time and dime.

Mind your own rule, hypocrite, and get your religion out of the state schools.

What the heck is "biblical Christianity" anyway? It sounds like a theory developed by some Protestants who adopted the notions the the bible is inerrant and infallible and is "the foundation of all wisdom." Your assertion that the curriculum is "predicated on biblical Christianity" is false.

You are the one who is claiming that public schools should be taxpayer-provided indoctrination centers for your specific brand of Christianity rather than centers for children of all backgrounds to learn in a neutral environment. If you want to indoctrinate your children according to your dogma, do so "on your own time and dime" either at home or in a private school of your choice.

Not everyone is a "Christian" fundie. Not everyone follows fundie leaders. Get over it.

Your assertions about me personally merely highlight the fact that you are foolishly making assumptions about a perfect stranger.

Which is worse? Christian indoctrination or Marxist indoctrination? One creates decent, upstanding citizens and the other creates violent miscreants.

The Ten Commandments is the basis of the Judeo-Christian version of guidance.

Those are talking points.

Do better

No. That's the typical product of the school districts of the Phoenix metropolitan area.

For decades, the public schools of Edina, Minnesota, were the gold standard among the state’s school districts. Edina is an upscale suburb of Minneapolis, but virtually overnight, its reputation has changed. Academic rigor is unraveling, high school reading and math test scores are sliding, and students increasingly fear bullying and persecution.

[. . .]

Highlands Elementary’s new “racially conscious” elementary school principal runs a blog for the school’s community. On it, she approvingly posted pictures of Black Lives Matter propaganda and rainbow gay-pride flags—along with a picture of protesters holding a banner proclaiming “Gay Marriage Is Our Right.” On a more age-appropriate post, she recommended an A-B-C book for small children entitled A is for Activist . (Peruse the book and you find all sorts of solid-gold: “F is for Feminist,” “C is for…Creative Counter to Corporate Vultures,” and “T is for Trans.”)

At Edina High School, the equity agenda is the leading edge of a full-scale ideological reeducation campaign. A course description of an 11th-grade U.S. Literature and Composition course puts it this way: “By the end of the year, you will have . . . learned how to apply marxist [sic], feminist, post-colonial [and] psychoanalytical . . .lenses to literature.”

The primary vehicle in the indoctrination effort is a year-long English course—required of all 10th-graders—that centers, not on reading literature and enhancing writing skills, but on the politicized themes of “Colonization,” “Immigration” and “Social Constructions of Race, Class and Gender.”

One student characterized the course this way on the “Rate My Teachers” website: “This class should be renamed . . . ‘Why white males are bad, and how oppressive they are.’” (The negative review has since been deleted from Edina High’s “Rate My Teachers” page; but this is a screenshot from before it was memory-holed.)

[. . .]

The Edina school district is just one example of the ideological hijacking of legitimate academic instruction in the name of racial equity. There’s more to come. Last October, the Star Tribune ran an op-ed that praised the Edina schools’ racial equity crusade, and condemned what the author described as America’s vicious history of violence and oppression—evidenced today by “Eurocentric curricula,” “hypersegregated schools,” and “biased standardized tests.” Our nation’s “racist practices,” she wrote, are what “allowed this country to expand geographically and to amass its great fortune.” White students, she asserted, must become “racially conscious” to learn “how their own worldviews are limited by whiteness.”

Inside a Public School Social Justice Factory
​

More "anecdotal" evidence. . . .

Thanks to a new law, schools will be required to teach, and kids will be required to learn LGBTQ history. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat, signed a bill into law last Friday that requires the contributions and history of LGBTQ people to be taught in public schools statewide.

What don't you understand about the pertinent, inalienable rights of natural and constitutional law, beginning with parental consent and authority? From the beginning, the aim of progressives like John Dewey was to eradicate via the state schools the only legitimate foundation for individual liberty, namely, the sociopolitical ramifications of Judeo-Christianity.

Secular humanism: the belief that humanity is capable of morality and self-fulfillment without belief in God. The underlying metaphysics of secular humanism is materialism, and Marxism--the stuff of political correctness, multiculturalism, polymorphous perversity, social justice--leads the way politically. The public education system sans universal school choice is a collectivist sewer of mediocrity.

Eh, they're talking points. Conservatives have a nugget of truth about teachers and schools and then get totally overblown with it in the very same way Leftists go on about cops.

No, stop and really think about that.

When you all go glossy eyed about how all schools are Leftist Indoctrination Centers, you sound to me exactly like Leftists sound when they go on about all cops being racist haters who are out to shoot blacks. It's irrational. It's fundamentally irrational. I cannot convince you with my experience INSIDE the system for 25 years nor even my very own self. Again, you take nuggets and anecdotes and paint an entire system, mostly for your own personal gain, to convince yourself that your own choice is correct. (homeschooling). This is what Leftists do, again, with police officers. Have at it, but I can't reason with it.

Those are talking points.

Do better

No. That's the typical product of the school districts of the Phoenix metropolitan area.

For decades, the public schools of Edina, Minnesota, were the gold standard among the state’s school districts. Edina is an upscale suburb of Minneapolis, but virtually overnight, its reputation has changed. Academic rigor is unraveling, high school reading and math test scores are sliding, and students increasingly fear bullying and persecution.

[. . .]

Highlands Elementary’s new “racially conscious” elementary school principal runs a blog for the school’s community. On it, she approvingly posted pictures of Black Lives Matter propaganda and rainbow gay-pride flags—along with a picture of protesters holding a banner proclaiming “Gay Marriage Is Our Right.” On a more age-appropriate post, she recommended an A-B-C book for small children entitled A is for Activist . (Peruse the book and you find all sorts of solid-gold: “F is for Feminist,” “C is for…Creative Counter to Corporate Vultures,” and “T is for Trans.”)

At Edina High School, the equity agenda is the leading edge of a full-scale ideological reeducation campaign. A course description of an 11th-grade U.S. Literature and Composition course puts it this way: “By the end of the year, you will have . . . learned how to apply marxist [sic], feminist, post-colonial [and] psychoanalytical . . .lenses to literature.”

The primary vehicle in the indoctrination effort is a year-long English course—required of all 10th-graders—that centers, not on reading literature and enhancing writing skills, but on the politicized themes of “Colonization,” “Immigration” and “Social Constructions of Race, Class and Gender.”

One student characterized the course this way on the “Rate My Teachers” website: “This class should be renamed . . . ‘Why white males are bad, and how oppressive they are.’” (The negative review has since been deleted from Edina High’s “Rate My Teachers” page; but this is a screenshot from before it was memory-holed.)

[. . .]

The Edina school district is just one example of the ideological hijacking of legitimate academic instruction in the name of racial equity. There’s more to come. Last October, the Star Tribune ran an op-ed that praised the Edina schools’ racial equity crusade, and condemned what the author described as America’s vicious history of violence and oppression—evidenced today by “Eurocentric curricula,” “hypersegregated schools,” and “biased standardized tests.” Our nation’s “racist practices,” she wrote, are what “allowed this country to expand geographically and to amass its great fortune.” White students, she asserted, must become “racially conscious” to learn “how their own worldviews are limited by whiteness.”

Inside a Public School Social Justice Factory
​

More "anecdotal" evidence. . . .

Thanks to a new law, schools will be required to teach, and kids will be required to learn LGBTQ history. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat, signed a bill into law last Friday that requires the contributions and history of LGBTQ people to be taught in public schools statewide.

Our children's curriculum is predicated on biblical Christianity just as it is in many parochial schools. It's the foundation of all wisdom. It informs all that we teach our children, including math, science, history. . . .

You're just not a very bright bulb, Lysistrata, and like all dull bulbs, you lack self-awareness, insight and empathy.

News flash: your religion is materialism/ontological naturalism and all the dogma that comes with it. If you want to indoctrinate your children accordingly, do so at home or a private school of your choice. Do so on your own time and dime.

Mind your own rule, hypocrite, and get your religion out of the state schools.

What the heck is "biblical Christianity" anyway? It sounds like a theory developed by some Protestants who adopted the notions the the bible is inerrant and infallible and is "the foundation of all wisdom." Your assertion that the curriculum is "predicated on biblical Christianity" is false.

You are the one who is claiming that public schools should be taxpayer-provided indoctrination centers for your specific brand of Christianity rather than centers for children of all backgrounds to learn in a neutral environment. If you want to indoctrinate your children according to your dogma, do so "on your own time and dime" either at home or in a private school of your choice.

Not everyone is a "Christian" fundie. Not everyone follows fundie leaders. Get over it.

Your assertions about me personally merely highlight the fact that you are foolishly making assumptions about a perfect stranger.

Which is worse? Christian indoctrination or Marxist indoctrination? One creates decent, upstanding citizens and the other creates violent miscreants.

KKK.....Democrats.....every one of 'em.


"The night riders move through the darkness, white against the black road....they go about their business, their horsed draped, guns and bullwhips banging dully against saddles.

....this is the South Carolina of the 1870s, not of the turn of a new millennium, and the night riders are the terror of these times. They roam upcountry, visiting their version of justice on poor blacks and the Republicans that support them, refusing to bow to the requirements of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments."

From the novel "The White Road," by John Connolly





If you peel a Democrat, you will find proof of whom the real racists are….a Nazi cross, a white power sign, a closed fist…..sometimes on their body, sometimes on their soul,,,,


Katie Hill, Democrat Representative.....reportedly a 'rising star' and fav of Nancy Pelosi...in the political sense of course......just quit Congress due to a sex scandal.

But, heck.....there are more sex scandals in Congress than murders in Chicago.....yes, both sides.


But here's the juicy part.....Hill is one more piece....er, article.....of evidence about what I've said long time: the Nazis, racist are Democrats.
They use the media to say that about the other side.....but any study of both history and current events will prove what I said.

Including this:

"Shocking photos of Congresswoman Katie Hill are revealed showing off Nazi-era tattoo

• a tattoo of a Nazi-era Iron Cross on her bikini line is on full display
• The tattoo could open the congresswoman to accusations of hypocrisy, after she criticized racist Facebook posts that included a similar-looking cross"

"The picture also shows an iron cross tattoo on Hill’s pubic area, similar to the symbols formerly used by white supremacists referencing a World War II Nazi medal.

The tattoo could open the congresswoman to accusations of hypocrisy.

She has criticized racist Facebook posts that included a similar-looking cross, posted by a Santa Clarita veteran who was featured in her political rival’s campaign adverts last year

The veteran, David Brayton, posted racist memes on his Facebook page including the KKK insignia of a ‘blood cross’, a similar shape to the iron cross.

Hill called out the veteran at the time, saying the posts left her ‘deeply disturbed’ and that his ‘hateful rhetoric’ helped fuel ‘violence across America’."

too bad for you the neglect of the founding fathers has been vindicated by the reconstruction amendments following the civil war - equal protection under law for all citizens - irregardless of any state obligations.

Handed down on May 17, 1954, the Court's unanimous (9–0) decision stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal," and therefore violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

a great accomplishment for national unity - against cultism.
