North Carolina State Public Education Wants to Eliminate Founding Fathers in History Classes
North Carolina State Public Education Wants to Eliminate Founding Fathers in History Classes
Who needs the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence?
From the Foundry, a subsidiary of the Heritage Foundation, Julia Shaw has uncovered another liberal new-age enlightenment process developing in the State of North Carolina. The idea is to start the history teaching period at 1877 so the students can feel—get this—”better connected to the present”:
Forget George Washington, James Madison, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln—nothing meaningful happened in America before 1877.
That’s the lesson North Carolina public high schools may start teaching. Under proposed changes in their high school history curriculum, the U.S. History course (which seniors take) will cover events from 1877 forward only.
It will be as if the American Founding never happened.
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.”
Do you get the feeling that 2010 is the year when the liberal socialist establishment is doubling down, (or in Obama’s case, tripling), thinking they just might never reach this crescendo of dementia again before some one puts a “freeze” on their path to never never land?
For you folks who feel inclined to leave an impression or opinion:
Liberalism is a severe mental derangement disorder that leads to a permanent vegetative state.

Biden Calls US Constitution: "Dangerous Roadblock"
Biden Calls US Constitution: "Dangerous Roadblock"
by Tom McGregor
Perhaps, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., a Democrat, is seeking to be appointed as the Chief-of-Gaffes of the United States of America. In an attempt to explain that the 60-seat threshold for support of legislation in the Senate is supposedly ludicrous, he contends that the U.S. Constitution is "a dangerous new roadblock in the way of American government." He made this shocking comment at a Florida fundraiser on Sunday.
Politico quotes Biden as saying that, "as long as I have served, ... I've never seen, as my uncle once said, the constitution stand on its head as they've done. This is the first ime every single solitary decision has required 60 senators. No democracy has survived needing a super-majority."
Despite the bleak warning, Mr. Biden claims that he's optimistic "the nation will appreciate the White House's achievements, "the American people are very smart, and we'll demonstrate by November that the project is working."
According to Politico, "Biden spoke at the home of Jack and Mona Anatramiam, in outdoor tent. He told some 150 attendees - who donated a minimum of of $1,000 - that the American response to the earthquake in Haiti was overwhelming."
Urging contributors, Biden said, "not only keep them in your prayers, but be as generous as you always have been. If you have the choice between increasing your contribution to us (Democrat Party) or sending it to the Haitian people, send it to the Haitian people. Send it to the Haitian people."

A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for James Madison.
The books are the added bonus to the bureaucracy funds
the college chancellor is recieving . . . just a guess.
Hmmm, what happens when a lobbyist and a politician get together?
Back in the 60's, Pol Pot of Cambodia just burned all the books, whalla, no western history to read, gone..
Currently, Obama is seeing to it, that the american middle class, all that life experience,for the most part educated and good workers, ready to embark on a new era of life and invention, are "ordered" to be forgotten, erased.
I never use the word elite for "them". Because "them" is ignorant. They kill beauty.
And never forget, “Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.”

"How can we justify to the unemployed and underemployed in the United States the incredible cost of maintaining a global empire?" - Dr. Ron Paul
Guess it is our job to teach the young.
A young couple comes to my farm once a week for eggs
and once a week I send them a video to watch such as
Money As Debt and many others.When they come over we
discuss that weeks "lesson".Their constant comment is
"we were not told about this in school!"
The Communist Manifesto was
The Communist Manifesto was published in February 21, 1844, but I'm sure they'll find a way to include it anyway, considering how communism overshadowed the entire 20th century.
