Just how your children are being indoctrinated while at school

Just why am I posting these stories for you to read?  I am trying to convince you that you need to take an active role in learning just what your children are being taught.  You need to stand up for what is right, to demonstrate to your children that you are willing to take a stand against progressive education.

A
classroom of 14 and 15-year-old Illinois high school students were assigned the task of deciding the fate of ten fictional characters in an exercise that critics called a lesson in death panels.
The assignment was part of a sociology unit for freshmen and sophomore students at St. Joseph-Ogden High School and was first reported by writer Lenny Jarratt.
The lesson involves 10 people who are in desperate need of kidney dialysis.But there’s a problem. The local hospital only has enough machines to support six patients. “That means four people are not going to live,” the assignment states. “You must decide from the information below which six will survive.” [Preparing our children for serving on Death Panels, perhaps?  This ought to make them feel oh, so safe.]
“The first thing I thought was they were desensitizing kids to death panels,” he told me. “They are preparing them for it.”
Principal Brian Brooks told me that assessment is way off base. “The assignment has nothing to do with a ‘Death Panel,’” he said.  He said the purpose of the lesson was to teach students about social values and how people in our society unfortunately create biases based off of professions, race and gender.

Parents were upset after Carrick High School approved a plan to have a Trayvon Martin theme day during the school’s homecoming.
The homecoming committee, and school voted and approved the theme which is part of school spirit week.
Parents were upset that kids were being encouraged to wear hoodies to school during the Wednesday theme.  http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2013/10/07/parents-upset-after-trayvon-martin-day-planned-during-local-homecoming-week/

Take a look at these third grade Common Core worksheets [Correction: Common Core-aligned worksheets].*
The first story for third graders takes a twisted social work approach to learning.
The first worksheet is the tale of Peter and Patty. It’s a terrible piece of literature (I’m using the word ‘literature’ very loosely). It’s about a father who abandons his children in the woods but wishes them well; some woman in the woods takes them in, feeds them fruits and vegetables (she must have been listening to Michelle Obama); and they all live happily ever after. Seriously???The next story is about a cheating husband and father, and, again, it’s for third grade.  http://www.independentsentinel.com/common-core-reaches-a-new-low-check-this-out/

Utah parents charged with vetting Common Core tests being sworn to secrecy
Leave it to government bureaucrats to think that government transparency efforts should somehow be shrouded in secrecy when vetting Common Core testing.
That’s exactly what’s happening in Utah, where state education officials are asking members of a parent review committee tasked with scrutinizing the new Common Core-aligned standardized tests “to sign a nondisclosure agreement that could muzzle them from discussing the test questions with other parents,” reports The Salt Lake Tribune.

I
s it an extreme case of helicopter parenting or a smart move to keep kids safe?
That's what parents are asking after hearing about a Long Island middle school's decision to ban most balls during recess and also require supervision of tag, even cartwheels, due to safety concerns. http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/09/living/parents-middle-school-bans-balls-recess/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

The text of the note (don’t we all love these little school notes?) reads:
Dear Parents,
I have received word from Federal Programs Preschool pertaining to lunches from home. Parents are to be informed that students can only bring lunches from home if there is a medical condition meriting a specific diet, along with a physicians note to that regard.
I am sorry for any inconvenience. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact [name redacted], the Health Coordinator for Federal Programs Preschool at [number redacted].
Linda says she was “hurt,” “confused,” and “dumbfounded” by the school’s insistence the nanny-staters feed her child instead of her.  This is what happens with big government – it goes from best-pal to bully in a heartbeat.  http://www.ijreview.com/2013/10/86357-read-federal-programs-note-telling-parents-need-doctors-note-make-kids-lunch/

You have to give school officials in Los Angeles credit for a good idea [I for one am not certain this was a good idea]: put iPads in the hands of over 650,000 students to give them the most advanced learning tools available in an effort to boost their interest in academics.
But the $1 billion plan is taking some heat after students in the nation's second-largest school district cracked the tablets’ security settings to forgo reading, writing and ‘rithmetic and instead post on Facebook and play games during class time. http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/los-angeles-students-ipads-classroom-play-video-games-173850244.html

The Wausau, Wis. School District says it’s okay to jingle bells and don gay apparel but lay off the Baby Jesus stuff – and that has parents and students ready to deck somebody’s halls.
The community became enraged after the elementary schools canceled their upcoming Christmas concerts and the school district issued guidelines that curtailed the number of sacred holiday songs the high school choir could perform.
Phil Buch, the director of the Wausau West High School choir programs since 1981, told the Wausau Daily Herald that he was given three choices after meeting with school officials about the upcoming yuletide season.
He was told the choirs could perform one sacred song for every five secular songs performed; eliminate all Christmas music or postpone December concerts. http://nation.foxnews.com/2013/10/08/starnes-wisconsin-school-cracks-down-religious-christmas-music?cmpid=NL_foxnation

Sixth-grade children in many Texas public schools are being tasked with designing flags for a new socialist nation as part of the state's curriculum, EAG News reported Monday.
"Notice socialist/communist nations use symbolism on their flags representing various aspects of their economic system. Imagine a new socialist nation is creating a flag and you have been put in charge of creating a flag," says a lesson plan being used as part of CSCOPE, the curriculum being used by over 70 percent of Texas school districts.  http://www.examiner.com/article/texas-6th-graders-assigned-to-design-flag-for-new-socialist-nation

If You Learned Your Kid Was in a School Play Containing Bestiality and Incest, How Would You React?
[The students were forced to read the play out loud, including the parts out loud.] 
That’s the news many parents received when it came to light that drama teacher Andrew Cupo of Cactus Shadows High School in Scottsdale, Ariz., introduced students in an advanced acting class to an absurdist play called “The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?” by Edward Albee.
In the Tony Award-winning play — which students performed in class rather than in public — a middle-aged man with a wife and teenage son admits he’s in love with a goat named Sylvia with whom he’s had sex, the Arizona Republic reports, adding that the play also explores themes of tolerance, morality, and revenge [including incest].

MORE PORNO RECOMMENDED BY COMMON CORE — THE BLUEST EYE

[Macey has heavily edited the following excerpts from “The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison, but they are still very graphic.
In fact, the author of the book, Morrison, says that she wanted the reader to feel as though they are a “co-conspirator” with the rapist. She took pains to make sure she never portrayed the actions as wrong in order to show how everyone has their own problems. She even goes as far as to describe the pedophilia, rape and incest “friendly,” “innocent,” and “tender.” It’s no wonder that this book is in the top 10 list of most contested books in the country.

Obviously the reason behind some parents calls for removing the book are the graphic depictions of incest, rape and pedophilia. And not just that, the book actually lets the reader see the depictions from the perpetrators point of view.

Adams 12 5 Star School District is the 5th largest school district in Colorado and has transitioned to the new Common Core standards. The book, Toni Morrison’s 1970 novel, “The Bluest Eye,” is among Common Core’s exemplar texts for 11th graders.
I was recently afforded the opportunity to discuss the book with Dr. Jill Manning, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She has been involved in social policy and research and has testified for legislators on these issues. Dr. Manning is also a former Social Science Fellow at the Heritage Foundation. She knows what she’s talking about and she also happens to be a concerned mother.
