Gerard,
Thanks for that Browning reference. Great photo, too. The more you look at it... As Homer Simpson so rightly observed (after the football in the nuts) "It works on so many levels."

In the phrase "science based", the word "based" means the same thing as in "based on a true story" in Hollywood advertising, right?

Is that Che in the background?

Which American school district puts portraits of communist mass murderers in elementary school classrooms? Who is that teacher? I couldn't find any documentation about the photograph.

Folks get all upset about God in the schools — separation of church and state, but not one word about the State driving home its agenda on vulnerable kids.

Home schooling is the best way to avoid having brainwashed children.

Too many Liberals abide by this: “When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side,’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already… What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.’“ - Adolf Hitler

This is precisely yet another reason why the Department of Education should be abolished, immediately.
The U.S. Department of Education, was formed in 1979 during the Carter administration. It was payback for the N.E.A. throwing their support to carter in the '76 election.
The 10th amendment of our constitution says, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to
the people."
The U.S. Constitution doesn't give Congress the authority to collect
taxes for, fund, or operate schools. Under the Tenth Amendment, education should be entirely a state and local matter.
At the time of its formation, Richard L. Lyman, president of Stanford University, testified at the congressional hearings
on forming the new department, pointed out that ‘‘the two-hundred-year-old absence of a Department of Education is not the result of simple failure
during all that time. On the contrary, it derives from the conviction that we do not want the kind of
educational system that such arrangements produce.’’

Here's a meme for you.
Global warming is one more battle in the left's
WAR ON TRUTH
Ya get it?

WAR ON TRUTH

JWM

Can we expect classes that graduate unable to read, write, or do simple arithmetic, to retain global warming propaganda?

The AGW meme is so important to the left/socialist agenda that it must be pushed forward in spite of all the evidence against it. The promise is more regulation, more control, more power ands of course ever higher taxes. It must succeed or they cannot take over.

What everyone else said. All great comments!

"The worst thing this rotten assed gov't ever did was to hijack the public schools for that has paved the way for all other societal ills."
--gs, 2099

When our home schooled son applied at the local community college (he did a 4 year degree in 3 years and paid for it himself) in the next 2 weeks the word got out and 93 colleges from the US and all over the world, sent letters of invitation to him.

A government entirely dependant on public opinion looks for some security in what that opinion should be, strives for the control of the forces that shape it, and is fearful of suffering the people to be educated in sentiments hostile to its institution--Lord Acton

All men are at last forced to pass the same ordeal; all are indiscriminately subjected to a multitude of petty preliminary exercises, in which their youth is wasted and their imagination quenched...and when at length they are in a condition to perform any extraordinary acts, the taste for such things has forsaken them--Tocqueville

Anybody who doesn't know what's wrong with America's educational system never screwed an el-ed major--P.J. O'Rourke

"... unable to convince older Americans . . .", maybe because during our many years on this planet we've heard too many variations on this theme.

Personally, elgeneralisimo sees this as an important opportunity for "the children" to learn a valuable lesson; sometimes grownups lie...

Yes, Che on the wall.

When I started tango, I used to take the Monday lessons at Princeton U. The room (in a building no longer standing) had a mural of Che, Mao & Fidel. I calmly but assertively described the millions who died because of those three. I also asked that they read The Black Book of Communism, either in translation or in the original French.
The mural was covered with brown crafts paper soon after. The new building does not have any Che memorials.

When my son was in high school, two weeks before the end of the school year, the Spanish teacher played The Motorcycle Diaries. I waited until the final grades were in, & showed up with a gift of three books for the teacher:
1. Carlos Eire's Waiting For Snow in Havana, National Book Award
2. Humberto Fontova's Che
3. Alvaro Vargas Llosa's Che.
plus a printout of the Cuba Archive documented list of the names of 250 people Che killed himself in Cuba in a period of 1.5 years. All nicely gift wrapped with a bow.
No more Moto Diaries.

I encourage the parents of the children in that classroom to do the same.

gs and Fausta, well done! Thank you for teaching by example.

The teacher in the pic seems to embody the federal government's attitude toward students; his arm gesture is recognizable by oldsters as a silent f.u. gesture aimed at the innocent students.
