It Will Be as if the American Founding Never Happened

0 votes

Looks like our educational work is going to be doubled in North Carolina. Under proposed changes, U.S. History courses taught in North Carolina high schools will not cover anything prior to 1877. Quick quote:

According to Rebecca Garland, the chief academic officer for North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, the goal of this change is to teach what students will feel connected to, “where they see the big idea, where they are able to make connections and draw relationships between parts of our history and the present day.”

By implication, nothing before 1877 has any meaning to students: the Declaration of Independence that proclaims the self evident truths of equality, natural rights, and consent of the governed; the Constitution that establishes the rule of law and the framework in which we exercise our liberty; the Civil War in which Abraham Lincoln defended the principles of the American Founding and ended the institution of slavery. These events are irrelevant for today’s students.

I can't help but wonder whether North Carolina is aware that the date they joined the union is 1789...which is, yes, prior to 1877.

In a related article, further information about the NC curriculum changes include the following:

Present curriculum:
9th grade: World History
10th grade: Civics and Economics
11th grade: U.S. history going back to the country's founding.

Proposed curriculum:
9th grade: A course called Global Studies, focusing in part on issues such as the environment
10th grade: Civics and Economics
11th-grade: U.S. history only from 1877 onward.

Wow...Long time no see fanofwalt...

good post, thank you...bump for others....

Hi Tessie

Been busy gathering more members for the hoard. :)

Onward!

does anyone here...

not understand why the department of education needs to be completely dismantled and scattered to the four winds?

the us department of education should become a footnote in history!

its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...
Rockin' the FREE world in Tennessee since 1957!

Who are these assholes who would...

believe that North Carolina will succumb to such outrageous actions? I will not see my home state founder under such duress, nor will I watch my present one. Education is the heart of this Liberty matter, and my heels feel the line marked in the sand.

Assert Your Authority

A twist on George Orwell's "1984" vision of rewriting history.

But don't fear. Students will soon enough get a new revolution to learn about, first hand as history repeats itself with unbearable economic conditions motivating the listless masses into action.

Have you noticed how the wives of cheating politicians at first stand by their man, but later when the reality of betrayal finally sinks in they march off to divorce court?

Likewise, the US public has been betrayed by 99% of those who hold political office. The Constitution has been ignored in favor of a system of plunder and control, yet the dumbstruck public stands by the politicians.

For example, Article 1, Section 10:

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

And Article 1, Section 8 (Powers of Congress):

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

So when was the last time you could use gold and silver Coin as a Tender in Payment of Debts in any State in the Union? You could not because these thugs in Washington DC gave away to the bankers the right to print money and loan it into existence, with you paying the interest either directly or through taxes so the federal government could pay interest to the banks, with the added detriment that our money has become virtually worthless as compared to purchasing power in 1913, when the Federal Reserve was created. And as an additional consequence, periodically this unstable, unsustainable, corrupt, unconstitutional monetary system brings on a financial collapse which you are currently getting to enjoy. Perhaps like a spurned wife, the US public will finally wake up to being cheated and take some action, something a little more serious than redress in divorce court.

"the Civil War in which

"the Civil War in which Abraham Lincoln defended the principles of the American Founding and ended the institution of slavery. These events are irrelevant for today’s students."

Cough choke.. Jeeze the BS is so prevalent in our society it doesn't really matter what these idiots teach. It seems we are doomed to suffer at the hands of the ignorant masses despite what we do.

Now wait.

If that is true, then we can no longer have a black history month... correct?

Or a ~white people suck and should feel guilty~ month.

Or whatever you want to call it.

This might be a net plus... if we can get our politicians to no longer be so concerned about what color everyone is.

So now they can't teach

So now they can't teach evolution?

Talk about Young Earthers.

By their calculations, I'm only 26! W00t!!

Remember the term , IQ

They can dumb down the educational material, but they cannot change the IQ..Those without a brain will not care.. Those with a brain will seek out the truth in spite of, brainwashing..
Teaching truth & your family's history are up to the individual family not the school system..
The educators strain at a knat...How can they stifle a true scholar?
Beyond that there is a GOD..
GO FIGURE

yes you can

change IQ. heck they even proved it with the game boy game brain age. I think just playing that game on average raises peoples IQ by like twenty percent.

SEE

I told you, where there is a will there is a way..

Not exactly true....

Those without a brain will not care...

Those with a brain will get bored easily, become hard to handle so will be thrown on class C meds, stunting thier growth and slowing them down to the IQ of a small dirty soap dish. Parents that complain about it will be turned into DHS.

They've thought this out.

Good idea in theory

Good one.

I had to homeschool mine...

I lived in Texas at the time.

It was... rough.

But it worked.

:)

~Live life to its fullest, with an open heart, open arms and most important... an open mind~

I'm homeschooling...it is rough

but I refuse to throw them into the meat grinder.

I'll bet a lot of us on the DP have

homeschooled our kids. Maybe we could suggest ways that worked if there are specific issues you're finding tough.

Some words of comfort...

If you don't just outright kill them, they eventually turn out to be OK enough to where you don't need to kill them later.

This will sound kinda rough for those who have not had the infinite joys and blessings of homeschooling.

For those who have, wear your scars proudly.

Devon!

Ha! Boy, did you nail it. Your description of homeschooling is probably the most accurate I've ever read anywhere.

Remember Mao

erased all of Chinese history during the 'cultural revolution' so the following generations would know nothing except communism.

So many Chinese know nothing about their rich history and ancient philosophers, poets, Confuscious and Lao Tsu and others. They actually write their letters without any artistic flourishes like they used to. It was all art. There is no art in China. No poetry. Just a kind of drudgery.

Here in the States is no different. There has been a movement for some time now to slowly do away with the artistic in classes. No real literature, no classics, no civics, no American History, no European history. It goes on and on.

This is world government and it is important to their agenda that all forms of 'context' be incrementally removed. Out of sight, out of mind. Notice how they said, "So the students may focus more on recent events in history. Well, the most recent would be the Bolshevik/Banker take over of Russia, now Europe, Canada, Australia, and now U.S.

This is conspiracy plain and simple.

The 'Tea Party movement' may be able to enlist the support of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson on this one.

We need to embarrass this woman on a national scale.

That is astounding!

Eustace Mullins has written and said that unknown to most people, the CIA is the dominant and controlling force in the publishing world as a whole. This includes massive covert budgets to infiltrate and hold professional positions that control the content of all media including MSM as well as high school and college text books.

I know people who have an MBA that know nothing of the Federal Reserve and even bankers who don't understand the fractional reserve system. It's a war of knowledge folks!

Can anyone say

Subversion?

They should go register with their neighbors:

No joke: South Carolina now requires ’subversives’ to register

Welfare For Subversives NOW!!

Gee, I'd love to be a subversive, but I only have 83 cents and some lint. And :checks pockets: an old lollipop stick. Oh, hey--would an old Chuck E. Cheese token count?

I'm underprivileged and I demand that the taxpayers come to my rescue so that I can undermine the very government that funnels their money to me! Bwah ha ha ha!!

My head hurts.

My sister is a HS teacher.

in Florida.

She says that they no longer teach any history prior to 1900 there.

I researched this earlier this week.

It is quite true.. they are rewriting history AGAIN.

Obama has a chapter all his own and there is no mention of Benjamin Franklin.

This is so blatant Stevie Wonder can see it...

Are we sick of this yet?
