Who Owns Your Children?

Shall we get into white brutality against minorities in US history,

White democrat...is what you really need to say...

If you think this is brainwashing go right ahead.
Maybe these students are their own thinkers looking at all the facts.
They make their own judgements.
It's a sad statement you don't understand they have the right to their own thoughts and opinions.
Damn!!! I love the ideology of this country.

If you love this nation, and want your children to feel about it the way you do....you will find, sadly, that they will be corrupted by a Marxist history curriculum.
They will be taught that the rest of the world sees themselves as victims of America...and your children will be taught to see America through that lens: an evil, predatory nation.

Such is the result of the take-over by the 60s radicals....


How did it begin?

"The radicals of the sixties did not remain within the universities…They realized that the apocalypse never materialized. “…they were dropping off into environmentalism and consumerism and fatalism…I watched many of my old comrades apply to graduate school in universities they had failed to burn down, so they could get advanced degrees and spread the ideas that had been discredited in the streets under an academic cover.”
Collier and Horowitz, “Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About The Sixties,” p. 294-295.


What did they want?

"The radicals were not likely to go into business or the conventional practice of the professions. They were part of the chattering class, talkers interested in policy, politics, culture. They went into politics, print and electronic journalism, church bureaucracies, foundation staffs, Hollywood careers, public interest organizations, anywhere attitudes and opinions could be influenced. And they are exerting influence.”
Robert H. Bork, “Slouching Toward Gomorrah,” p. 51





Having taken over the schools, at every level, and the media, the dissemination of information in the society, they had everything they needed to destroy what the Founders had given us.




And now, one more sign of how they despise the greatness of America, and mean to have that view indelibly impressed on the youth, is the change in the AP History exam, by the College Board.



1. " The College Board, ...has kicked off a national controversy by issuing a new and unprecedentedly detailed “Framework” for its AP U.S. History exam. This Framework will effectively force American high schools to teach U.S. history from a leftist perspective....the new AP U.S. History framework [is] closely tied to a movement of left-leaning historians that aims to “internationalize” the teaching of American history.... to “end American history as we have known it” by substituting a more “transnational” narrative for the traditional account.

2. ....also seeks to produce a generation of Americans more amendable to working through the United Nations and various left-leaning “non-governmental organizations” (NGOs) on issues like the environment and nuclear proliferation. A willingness to use foreign law to interpret the U.S. Constitution is likewise encouraged.




3. ... let’s have a closer look at its goals. NYU historian Thomas Bender is the leading spokesman ....Bender’s views can be found in his 2006 book, A Nation Among Nations: America’s Place in World History. ...

a. ... a thoroughgoing critic of American exceptionalism, the notion that America is freer and more democratic than any other nation, and for that reason, a model, vindicator, and at times the chief defender of ordered liberty and self-government in the world.

b. ... Bender wants to subordinate American identity to a cosmopolitan, “transnational” sensibility. ...Whereas the old U.S. history forged a shared national identity by emphasizing America’s distinctiveness, Bender hopes to encourage cosmopolitanism by “internationalizing” the American story.... Bender laments that history as taught in our schools has bred an “acceptance of the nation as the dominant form of human solidarity.”"

The hate-America brigade is on the verge of winning a momentous victory....and dealing the United States a coup de grâce.
.

The brainwashing continues at Harvard....Notice one of these students says "what we've been learning recently"

Brainwashing is exactly what this new curriculum is about.



Moreover, the thread is about understanding what the direction of the teaching of history to impressionable mind will produce:

12. "... scholarly treatment of American cultural imperialism, penned by left-leaning University of Michigan historian Penny Von Eschen, is relentlessly critical of America’s economic and military presence in the world.

Eschen, for example, touts the Marxist tract, How to Read Donald Duck, by Ariel Dorfman and Armand Mattelhart, as the classic treatment of American cultural imperialism. How to Read Donald Duck explores the subtle and sinister ways in which Disney cartoons advocate “adherence to the U.S. economic system and capitalist values and work ethic,” as if this was a very bad thing..... seeks out off-putting examples of American propaganda and then suggests that students to put themselves in the places of people in the Soviet block or developing world as they respond to the American presence. This, indeed, is teaching students to see their country through the eyes of its alleged “victims” and enemies.



a. The College Board’s new and vastly more detailed guidelines can only be interpreted as an attempt to hijack the teaching of U.S. history on behalf of a leftist political and ideological perspective. The College Board has drastically eroded the freedom of states, school districts, teachers, and parents to choose the history they teach their children.



b. How can American conservatives, moderates, and even traditional liberals trust an AP U.S. History redesign effort led by figures who were so deeply enmeshed in a leftist attempt to reshape the American history curriculum? How the College Board Politicized U.S. History National Review Online



You cannot love this country and endorse this history curriculum.

No, you imbecile...you cannot love this country and support Marxism inculcated into children's history lessons.

Even you should be able to understand that.

Cut and paste pertains to the way content is presented, dope.

Let's see you speak of the content.

Anyone & anything that disagrees with OP's favorite blogger "hates America"

yaaaawwwwwwnnnnnnn

The caption on the photo is a lie.

I proved that in an earlier post.

If you had an education, you might have known that without my proving it.

So...you ignored posts #85 and #89?

Kinda admits to being an imbecile, huh?

Well

anywhere attitudes and opinions could be influenced. And they are exerting influence.”
Robert H. Bork, “Slouching Toward Gomorrah,” p. 51

This picture influences me to believe that a trench full of dead Indians by the hands of Americans is a bad thing. Therefore this picture hates America and should be shown in a positive light.

Perhaps drawing PJ's on every dead body and captioning it "America throws a Sleep over" would be more positive

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.

So 50 shots from Indians is your excuse for the trench full of dead bodies. Any excuse will do

 

[BlindBoo]

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?

I understand which one you believe and why you post such things.

Interesting that you haven't tried to deny the truth of what I believe.

You are entitled to believe whatever you wish to believe. That you think it is some kind of truth doesn't make it so.

I'd certainly like to know what you'd believe about a trench full of dead American soldiers at the hands of Indians.

Possibly you'd care to offer an argument as to the benefits of poisoning the minds of youngsters about their country...as the thread shows that that is exactly the purpose of the new curriculum.

Please....don't hesitate.

29 soldiers were killed.
39 wounded.

Not enough for you?

 

[initforme]

What precisely would you like taught to our young children? Please elaborate. What things need to be taught in your estimation

 

[PoliticalChic]

And while waiting for those brilliant Leftist apologists to come up with arguments in favor of poisoning young minds against what the Founders gave the world.....

...let's take another look at what just over the horizon....beyond sundown:

13. "Peter Wood, president of the National Association of Scholars, calls the new AP U.S. history framework “a briefing document on progressive and leftist views of the American past,” one which “weaves together a vaguely Marxist or at least materialist reading of the key events with the whole litany of identity group grievances.”
U.S. history takes drastic left turn this fall



And....

14. "It deletes the Pilgrims, John Winthrop, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Alexis de Tocqueville, Abraham Lincoln and other long-celebrated figures central to America’s founding and growth.

In their place, America’s future leaders are given a warts-only take on America’s past that casts European settlers as villains. These Europeans disrupted ecologically balanced native American society, bringing “widespread deadly epidemics,” a “caste system,” resource exploitation and slavery. The Europeans’ “belief in white superiority” was used, the framework declares, “to justify their subjugation of Africans and American Indians.”
U.S. history takes drastic left turn this fall



Still waiting.......
