Who Owns Your Children?

[JakeStarkey]

The far right is trying to instil the principles of cultural McCarthyism to frame USA history and culture and economics as invariably favorable.

“American exceptionalism” occurs when we as a people and a Nation live up to the principles of the Constitution.

The American people and the Nation are no different than others when we do not.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The younger generations, with a very few exceptions, reject the cultural McCarthyism preached by the ilk of PC.

Leftist history Professor Bender will not rest until the history imparted to our children makes the United States appear to be the worst nation ever to have achieved this much wealth and power.


4. ".... his transnational twist on American history has profound political implications. .... Bender promises that his transnational framing of American history “will give little comfort” to the proponents of policies based on American exceptionalism.



5. Bender urges that American history be taught, not only from an American point of view, but from the perspective of those who are subject to American power. “Americans have always found it difficult to imagine themselves as an enemy, as a problem for other people,” says Bender. By showing us ourselves through our enemies’ eyes, Bender hopes to promote humbler and more collaborative forms of American foreign-policy.



6. Bender also openly hopes that students exposed to a less “national” version of American history will sympathize with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s willingness to use foreign law to interpret the U.S. Constitution, rather than with Justice Antonin Scalia’s rejection of foreign law as an arbiter of American jurisprudence."

Cultural McCarthyites, like PC, believe that the USA can only do right but no harm.

That is unrealistic.

7. Seems that many are amazingly resistant to what is actually happening.

Some recognize the Left's desire, mission.... to indoctrinate....



"[...in a response,] Brooklyn College professor of history, Robert David Johnson in the journal Historically Speaking. Going on the attack, Johnson calls Bender’s “transnational” version of American history, “little more than an attempt to ensure that students think a certain way about contemporary events.” Johnson warns Bender that “establishing as an outcome for high school history classes the judicial philosophy of Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer . . . will undermine support for public education among citizens who disagree with the preferred ideology.”




8. [For Bender to] achieve his preferred policy results, he merely needs to inculcate a cosmopolitan sensibility and an abiding hostility to American exceptionalism. Bender also denies Johnson’s claim that he wants to “merge” high school U.S. history with World history, yet Bender clearly wants to integrate them in a way that subordinates the American national story to the transnational, globalist perspective."

When one considers the true believers of the Left, such as Bender, and add the numbers of those who couldn't care less about the future of this nation.....

....standing up for America becomes a truly daunting task.

 

[PoliticalChic]

The Left owns the dissemination of information, e.g., the schools and the media, and has far more access to funds than traditionalists do.....


And how do they use those weapons?
They fund every anti-America endeavor.


9. " ... return to 2000, when a group of 78 historians under the auspices of the Organization of American Historians (OAH) issued the flagship document of the movement to “internationalize” American history, “The La Pietra Report.” . [NYU historian Thomas] Bender authored that report, and it prefigures all the themes he develops in his later writings.

.... those meetings were held outside the United States, and that nearly a third of the scholars working to forge a new U.S. History curriculum were non-Americans. One such scholar, in fact, was Cuban.

Francesca Lopez Civeira, of the University of Havana, participated in absentia, sending a paper on American power as “an object of fear” in Cuban historiography. That fit squarely into a central theme of the La Pietra Report, which urges that American students be exposed to evidence of the “controversial power and presence” of the United States beyond our borders, to the point where “one’s native land seems foreign.”




a. "[they cannot allow the teaching of history] becoming the ideological justification for the latest phase of capitalism.” [Instead,] try to prevent an internationalized history from justifying America’s global economic and military reach by focusing on how America’s alleged victims and enemies feel about the use of our power.




b. .... historians with a left-wing foreign policy agenda, a third of them from foreign countries, seems an odd inspiration for the ostensibly non-partisan College Board’s redesign of the AP U.S. History Exam. Yet that is exactly what the La Pietra conference and its report became." How the College Board Politicized U.S. History National Review Online




As these America-haters impose their curriculum, fewer students will see America as the 'shining city on the hill.'

As a matter of fact,....they have eliminated mention of John Winthrop already.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Every chance they get, Leftists attempt to tear down both the most exceptional nation ever to exist....and the greatest economic system ever having been created.



And the assault on both will now be part of the history curriculum in this nation:


10. "..Bender concludes that early American history is only partially about “utopian dreams of opportunity or escape”. The beginnings of the American story, says Bender, are also deeply rooted in the birth of capitalism, and the “capture, constraint, and exploitation” this implies.

In other words, Bender wants early American history to be less about the Pilgrims, Plymouth Colony, and John Winthrop’s “City on a Hill” speech, and more about the role of the plantation economy and the slave trade in the rise of an intrinsically exploitative international capitalism.

a. ... instead of distancing themselves from this highly politicized and left-leaning approach to American history, the College Board redoubled its efforts on Bender’s behalf.



11. .... how to teach ....suggests asking students why the term “migration” might be preferable to “immigration.”
The answer is that “immigration” implies a specific and permanent national destination, whereas “migration” is simply about the movement of people across borders, without any reference to adopting a national identity.

The political subtext is clear: national interest and national identity take second place to the interests of individual “migrants,” whose loyalties are ultimately “transnational.” How the College Board Politicized U.S. History National Review Online





One cannot help but wonder when Bender and the other America haters will 'migrate' to some other, more enviable, location.

You would never have seen these images in history books from 50 years ago when I was in school..

You'll see even more made up history as your ilk takes more and more control.

My ilk prefers the truth over your propaganda..

Quite the contrary, as I've just shown.


Retract and reform yourself.

So you deny that the US and it's white citizens never unduly harmed a single minority in it's history?

So you deny the U.S. has fought died and liberated 100s of millions of people? what person in their right mind would look at the America as the problem in the world? Certainly all not the people desperately trying to get in the this country. Only liberal nuts like yourself

The US has also supported cruel despotic regimes. Why wouldn't the people adversely affected by those regime see us as a problem.

Reality is we've done some good things and we've done some bad things.

"....we've done some good things and we've done some bad things."

Do you not understand which of those the new curriculum is designed to accentuate?

And if you do.....do you understand why?

Massacre at Wounded Knee..

1. This is the most disgusting post you have ever offered....if you thought it funny to conflate the United States to the Nazis.....it isn't.


2. 'Wounded Knee' is not what the America haters taught you it was.

Pop culture unfailingly paints the army as brutal killers, as in the famous South Dakota Wounded Knee ‘massacre,’ December 29, 1890. Robert Marshall Utley (born in 1929) is an author and historian who has written sixteen books on the history of the American West, including The Last Days of the Sioux Nation. Yale University Press, New Haven, CT (1963) in which he concludes that “the Indians fired at least 50 shots before the troops returned fire.”


You've become a disgusting little twerp.

I see, so if back in the fifties the North Korean invaders of the south massacred an entire village of South Koreans,

you'd side with the Commies if it turned out someone in the village fired first?

I'm guessing, no, you wouldn't.
