Where is the eighties concept of what should be taught? Waiting... hypocrites.


A bit more education for you?

Sure.

1. The federally funded “National History Standards” for elementary schools were released in 1994, cemented a revisionist view of American Communism for schoolteachers, as the guide mentions McCarthy over twenty times, while Edison and the Wright Brothers got no mention. “It …repeatedly condemns McCarthyism as an unmitigated evil…[but] the Hiss-Chambers and Rosenberg cases, the two dominant controversies of the anticommunist era, are described with bland, neutral language crafted to keep from implying guilt while not being quite so foolhardy as to actually assert innocence..’National Standards’…implies that the cases are part and parcel of the McCartyite horror.”
From “In Denial,” by Haynes and Klehr, pg. 151

2. Revisionist views are found, for example, in the work of Ellen Wolf Schrecker, Ph.D., a professor of American history at Yeshiva University, who states “ whatever threat to the United States such espionage [by US citizens working for Soviet intelligence] may have posed, it was gone by the time the main justification for the McCarthy-era purges.” The revisionists claim that the greater sin was not the betrayal of the country by American Communists, but anticommunists using that betrayal as “a rationalization for the most widespread and the longest-lasting episode of political repression in our nation’s history.”

The attack on the National History Standards was a classic rightwing propagandist hysteria, led at the time by Lynne Cheney (yes, that Lynne Cheney) which, if nothing else, proved that she was at least as clueless as her more infamous husband.
 
"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

.

Now there's a classic PoliticalChic stupid.

Robert Bork ridiculing radical leftists for the crime of trying to get into positions of influence.

Robert Bork, the radical rightwinger WHO TRIED TO GET ONTO THE SUPREME COURT, ridiculing leftists for trying to get into positions of influence.

I think he ridiculed the people who let them get into positions of power, and he was right.
 
Perhaps not teaching history would be appropriate then. Learning about the founding fathers is incredibly boring.... I had a huge disdain for history most likely because I went to a catholic high school where it was poorly taught. They were pros at turning students off to education in general. If one is going to imply that slavery wasn't a terrible, horrific, catastrophic American debacle then I cannot give your stance one iota of support.
 
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.
:argue:


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.

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.”"

100s of thousands of Americans died ending slavery. Which is certainly not unique to this country, and i'm sure these students learn plenty about salvery

""The radicals were not likely to go into business", I'll agree with you on that note.



Leftists radicals think we can live without pollution and without Capitalism like the Indians did. That "Indian" lifestyle won't work today with our population. Unless the population learns how to plant their own food. (OMG would that be crazy! Doomsday preppers planting potatoes instead of hoarding 40 gallons of ketsup is CRAZY!)

CORPORATE propaganda was the only thing in the way of history. Not History itself.
 
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.
You're a real pice aren't you. According to commanding Gen. Nelson A. Miles
who was actually there "half the Indian men were killed or wounded before they had a chance to get off any shots." and "While the Indian warriors and soldiers were shooting at close range, other soldiers used the Hotchkiss guns against the tipi camp full of women and children."

No they didn't. They just submitted to the "Air Rifle" Fox News just wants you to think that.
 
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?
It's because so many americans like yourself simply ignore, deny or support all the horrible attrocities the US has done. It's a wake up call to the common ignorant american.

EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, January 10, 1963



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.

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.”

This is right up your alley...







Watch closely as I eviscerate you.

1. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.


2. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.


3. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.


4. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.


5. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.


6. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."


7. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."


8. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.


9. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man." Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."


10. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.


11. Discredit the family as an institution.


Did you note any with which Obama is opposed?



I got 'em from a website of declared communist goals...

There is an overwhelming conclusion, one with which you are unequipped to face.
 
. If one is going to imply that slavery wasn't a terrible, horrific, catastrophic American debacle then I cannot give your stance one iota of support.

Actually, if you understand history...slavery was not an American debacle...it was here before the Europeans came...and then the Europeans and Africans brought African slaves to the new world, and it was a global practice, practiced by every people that populated the Earth....and then came the difference...when the United States was created, we ended slavery here...it took a while to get rid of an institution that was so much a part of the human experience at the time...but we ended it...and don't give me the British ended it first...they ended it much later in their history than we did in ours...we were only around as a country 84 years when we ended it...the earliest of any country...and we put ending it in our founding documents...

Slavery was a universal human sin...which we ended with our founding....that is the actual true history the left hates...
