Making Our Children Stalinists

[PoliticalChic]

Foremost, be clear: this is about politics...not education.



How's this for a neat plan: we have avowed communists write the curricula, and we make sure that at every turn of the wheel of history, America comes as the evil predator....
yeah....that's the ticket!

Any doubt that the more power the Left accrues, the less freedom and liberty will be emphasized in our schools?




Read this and weep:

1." Philadelphia city council wants socialism taught in schools

2. Philadelphia city council members have approved a resolution that calls for socialist historian Howard Zinn’s book “A People’s History of the United States” to be taught in public high schools.

a. .... council members ... believe that Zinn’s far-left socialist vision of American history is currently missing from high school textbooks.





3. “Council does hereby recognize the need for students to be taught an unvarnished, honest version of U.S. history that empowers students to differentiate between moments that have truly made our country great versus those that established systemic inequality, privilege, and prejudice which continue to reinforce modern society’s most difficult issues,” the resolution states.

4. Zinn’s book is lauded in far-left circles, but many conservative thinkers believe his self-described “history” is really social activism masquerading as fact. Former Indiana Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels believed strongly that the book had no place in K-12 classrooms–...




5. Zinn was an apologist for communist dictators like Fidel Castro, who has brutalized and oppressed the people of Cuba for decades.....Councilwoman Blackwell defended the Castro regime. “Castro did not do everything wrong, or he would not have lasted so long,” she said in a statement to CBS.

6. Philadelphia Daily News columnist Will Bunch praised the decision to demand that Zinn be taught in class, happily explaining that his own radicalism was fostered by “A People’s History of the United States.” “Although readers here assume because of my fondness for the radical ’60s that I emerged from the womb carrying a picture of Chairman Mao, the truth is that I was a bland center-left voters and a pretty “balanced” journalist in the ’90s,” he wrote. “Reading Zinn helped me understand what went wrong, and how everyday people could fight to get things right.”

7. Mao, the Chinese dictator whom Bunch recalled fondly, ruled communist China from 1949 to 1976. His policies of mass starvation and execution are responsible for an estimated 50 million deaths.

[Recall that other far-left activists, e.g., SDS, the Weathermen, planned the same fate for Americans]


8. There has been no word yet on whether district officials plan to turn Philadelphia students into apologists for mass-murdering dictators."

This is the state of secular America, wherein apologists for Castro and Mao, and, no doubt, Stalin, are powerful enough to offer imprimatur to genocidal maniacs.

These are to be the models or American children.

9. For a taste of the sort of American that a Zinn-educated student would be, consider Zinn's perspective, here:

So do you feel that, by and large, the Zarqawi-world and the Bush-world are moral equivalents?

HZinn: I do. I would put Bush on trial along with Saddam Hussein, because I think both of them are responsible for the deaths of many, many people in Iraq, and so, yes, I think that. Killing innocent people is immoral when Iraqis do it, and when we do it, it is the same thing. What the left thinks: Howard Zinn, Part II - Dennis Prager - Page full



Moral equivalency at its finest.

Not much of a defense of Zinn, nor or the far-Left educrats who wish to turn up the indoctrination controls to eleven.


Or....did you agree with Zinn in post #2?

I didn't think so.

The left always lies. Ideologi al indoctrination to raise sheeple is the main goal of them. Watch what your kids are'studying' in school and counteract the lies. It requires work but that is the way.

That is what the parents in the commie block did - they were teaching the alternative to the official brainwashing propaganda 'history' - at home.

[Book of Jeremiah]

Stalin was a satanist. His own daughter spoke of his evil practices and that he had a portrait depicting Lucifer hanging on his bedroom wall. The higher level communists are part of an inner circle which they called, "Hell" back when it was originated. One would think Marx would have chosen a more altruistic name for this society of communists they founded. Perhaps betterment for the poor was suggested by Richard Wurmbrand who exposed him in his book, Marx and Satan. But no, they chose to call it "Hell" and by all means communism has lived up to its name. Even calling one group "The Children of October"... today is their high holy day by the way. Just though I'd mention that. Don't view calendar if graphic info of such satanic holidays troubles you. http://www.theopenscroll.com/hosting/SatanicCalendar.htm

What are you afraid of?


Oh...the usual....being laughed at.


Should be used to it by now.....

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Imagine what kind of hatred one must have for their own children to do such a thing to them. Very sad.

 

[Moonglow]

I've red my kids curriculum, no Stalinist in there.

But, heck...how come you didn't answer the query: "did you agree with Zinn in post #2?"


I know why.....

....I haven't found you to be a far-Left looney.......

....just a moderate looney.

 

[Luissa]

We learned about socialism in high school along with capitalism etc., your point?

somewhat insane, somewhat sane.

It is better to read all forms of literature as to only one.

 

[G.T.]

LMK what you learned in school that made you form your entire political viewpoint, I'd really like to know about it.

Hahaha, good for Philadelphia.

Howard Zinn is soo far Left that he makes Karl Marx look like a Tea Party conesrvative. .

Now why would an atheist believe and or worship in one of the Christian immortal beings?

This is true.
