Teacher Sues for Right to Flunk Her Students.

A Teacher Sues an East Baton Rouge, La, school for the right to flunk her students. With the left complaining about US students scores it seems they will do anything to get them up, even prevent teachers from flunking their students. With the dismal state our Government Schools are in this only makes it worse now parents have to ask are their children really passing or is the Government School just giving them a pass. With the Progressives more interested in teaching our children socialism and the wonders of men like Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, Mao Zedong, Hugo Chávez, Fidel Castro and his brother, and Che Guevara it is amazing we still can do things like put men in to space, though that won't last much longer now.

As has been done in other countries they realize that they will best gain their power if they teach the next generation to love them, that the need the government to protect them, then they will have their power and a people who will not stand up to them. The Progressives despise at the idea of high standards is yet another reason for our nations problems.

The American Flag is now Incendiary?!

Its been coming a long time, the American Flag, proclaimed as a symbol of hate, bigotry, imperialism, and domination by the progressives, now they have moved to declare it incendiary on its home soil on a foreign holiday.

Critics Want to Ground Eddie the Eagle



I saw this a few days ago in the morning, 4/27/2010, and wanted to post it and some quick thoughts on this issue.

While as a conservative I want to gut the Federal Education department and system, and burn down what is left after that, but this is one thing which I do not have a problem with. First it's the NRA mascot telling/informing children not to mess with a gun if the see/find one and to tell an adult, not some government bureaucrat telling our children we don't need guns any more in our society, although that is already happening with some progressive/liberal teachers. Second with so many parents with guns not properly teaching/telling their children not to play around with a 'real' gun, it makes sense to me, I should add some of those parents probably have a gun for illegitimate purposes. And as to the point of the children not retaining the information, while she may not be one of them, the liberals and progressives tell us we should teach sex education as soon as possible see my post, One Degree of Separation, on These Stories for proof, yet when it comes to our issues they say the children won't retain the information and we shouldn't do it. No what they want to do it take our money to indoctrinate our children that all guns are bad, except for the ones in the hands of the government and we don't really have a Right to Bear Arms despite the Second Amendment.

It's bad enough that we have all the socialist indoctrination going on in our school systems, we need to get some balance back in, what ever form it may be.

The "Human Rights" Con

With more and more so called "Human Rights" being created, most recently the "Right to Travel," Brussels Declares Vacation Time a Human Right, I wanted to share some stories & links about what this Con of Human Rights creates and is really about. The first is a story from Sweden, it entails the Swedish Government taking in to custody a seven year old boy over homeshcooling, (quick info, the Swedish police barged into a passenger jet awaiting departure from Sweden to India and forcibly took into custody the boy.) Read the full story at WND.com at this link, Parents plead for return of 7-year-old son Dad, mom being allowed 1 hour visit every 5 weeks. The next story is of German family seeking asylum here in the US, because they feared persecution if returned to their home country because of their decision to home school, by the way they have been granted asylum by a US federal immigration Judge, which will not make the progressives here or in Europe happy. Read the full story at WND.com at this link, Homeschoolers on run win U.S. asylum.

With the Obama Administration wanting to make Health Care a human right, these stories should be a wake up call to those who have been coned by this scam of these new human rights.

Solomon.

P.S. I am hoping to get more done this week then last.

Update 10:05PM 4/20/2010
P.S. Found this Commentary, What's next? Transgender showers for kids, by Les Kinsolving that is relevant to this "Human Rights" Con.

The Ole Miss mascot, Colonel Reb

I thought I would post something on the issue of the Ole Miss mascot, Colonel Reb, in case most of you have not heard about this let me tell you about it, in 2003 the administration of University of Mississippi eliminated Colonel Reb as the official mascot of Ole Miss Rebels, as of 2/24/2010 students have voted to replace him, personally I don't like the PC mentality that has pushed this, there is a dark horse movement to have the Star Wars character Admiral Ackbar made the new Ole Miss mascot. Personally I have a better suggestion for the students, one that the administration of University of Mississippi couldn't refuse without ending up with egg on their faces, redesign Colonel Reb and take him back to the war of independence for the American Colonies, change the uniform to colonial rebel and change the beard style to that more of the revolutionary war period, this would make it hard for the administration of University of Mississippi to turn down a caricature of an American Icon. Now I know Mississippi wasn't a state until 1817, but the people of Mississippi were members of America.
Any way that is my opinion.

One Degree of Separation, on These Stories


I have two news stories that are unconnected, but are related in terms of content, Planned Parenthood Pushes Intensive Sex Education for Kids as Young as 10, and Girl, 11, Gives Birth to Baby Boy in Northeast Hospital. It would be best if you read both stories before continuing reading this for context, but you don't have to if you want to read this first.

The problem with Planned Parenthood is they push their trash for both a socialistic reason and one driven by profit, the socialistic reason is the same as any socialist, progressive, or liberal has they either think that conservatives are prudes that need to get with the modern era, they have some new age vision of love where you can love, (and fill in the blank, I.E. use your imagination), person(s), creature(s) or anything(s) you want with out judgment and can merry anything you want, or as others have been talking about they want to evolve society to make it more evolved. It's the profit driven one that is much more evil, more people engaged in intercourse of any type means more people in need of various services, tests, abortions, and several other services, now I know that some liberal or progressive is going to respond in this way or a similar fashion, " We don't want that, we just want to educate children on sex to protect them, and we certainly don't want eleven year-olds having babies, we want to educate them so that won't happen." Right you will educate them so the know to go to Planned Parenthood lie about all kinds of things so they can get an abortion, and they will respond "We don't want them getting abortions either." The problem with their argument is in the type of sex education they want to give our children, nothing about abstinence, and everything about how to do it, what to use, how to use it, and maybe they will through in copies of the Kama Sutra for extra measure to them, but they won't tell them about the dangers, oh sure they will warn them of STDs like AIDS and others, but they will tell them how condoms will protect them they with out informing them about the possible failure rate. The will use language like "your parents don't understand" or something similar, I have seen to many teens in various media who have told their sad tales with the point of they were never told the dangers, the failings of condoms and other so called protections by these so called well meaning educators.

Starting with the 60s & 70s started this whole, your children are your friends, few rules or boundaries, and the whole liberal-progressive advocation of how to raise children advocates, some of these so called rights that the progressives want to give children don't just go into left field they just keep going. If you want to stop progressives it will take more then just limiting the federal government, they know if you have it your way their plans are for not, that's why the school curriculum is so important to the progressives if they get to your children they have the next generation, that is why Obama was partially able to win, that's why parents need to pay attention to what their children are learning in school and if you can't change the school then you might be forced to go with a private school or homeschooling, there are many options, but that is for another post.

No matter what you want to believe about those who want to teach your children when it comes to sex education, you should always be suspicious of their motives, to many believe you are too conservative or prudish as the Planned Parenthood document shows, they think you are doing harm to your own children. If they could they would get rid of you, but they can't that is why the use the police powers of the government in the schools to feed this trash to your kids.

My point is simple, know what your children are being taught in school, who is teaching them, and what the liberal-progressive movement is pushing in the schools to be prepared.

How to Improve Public (Goverment) Schools Pt on Summer Vacation


I didn’t plan on doing this so soon, but I saw a story on this and I have decided to do a preview of my How to Improve the Government School System, this one on the drive to get rid of summer vacation.

First the origin of summer vacation for schools was during America’s agrarian roots unlike many of the stories going around about it being for the spring planting or fall harvest which don’t fit time wise, it was for the growing season, and before the modern version of the school system you had the school house and schooling was either voluntary or done by parents, and the children would work around the home, farm, or family business. Now the modern incarnation of summer vacation came into being with the increasing middle class and the ability for those families to take vacations that would last for several weeks.

Now as to the movement to get rid of summer vacation and the argument to extend the school year, I find it is usually pushed by liberals and progressives who use the excuse of Summer Learning Loss, while it is true that children "forget" things during the summer vacation, so do most adults after most start some career, they forget things which to them have no use or does not interest them. I find that the main motive is to keep kids in classrooms longer by using various excuses such as comparisons with foreign countries like Japan with higher scores and all-year school, but what they don’t tell parents is why US scores have dropped in the last few decades, because of their progressive agenda. I will have more on this in later parts of this series but for now I will finish up on this subject.

The liberals and progressives real agenda is to keep children in school longer away from their parents with longer school years and Saturday school so that they can indoctrinate children with their progressive agenda, free from potential medaling by parents. Just look at some of the liberal policies some schools have pushed in recent years, changing what the grades mean, ending the use of red ink, the tolerance for bad behavior (and I don’t mean the class clowns), and the bureaucracy we see in the government school system, there are many more that I could list but I will keep it short.

Finally if you were to compare the homeschoolers scores with the foreign scores you would see what Americans are capable of doing without the progressive interference. The fact that the average American Goverment School Student scores well is amazing with all the progressive interference going on.

The Story that started this, Here.

The Textbook Controversy.

I recently saw a story on what some wanted to remove from the Texas School Textbooks, and I find my self shaking my head in disbelief at how the liberals and progressives try to change history and American culture. They wanted to remove Independence Day, Veterans’s Day, and Christmas, remove the Liberty Bell as a patriotic symbol, and remove Daniel Boone, Paul Revere and General George Patton from the curriculum. I will be posting something on WWII in a little while today that will make the problem on our education system a little scarier.

The fact that these liberals and progressives continue to try and dismantle the American culture just shows how disturbing this is, in case you are wondering why Texas is important, the Texas schools are one of the biggest buyers of textbooks, and if they make the books more "progressive" the books the other states will follow suite. So make sure that you check your child’s textbooks for liberal and progressive propaganda.

See the story here.

San Fran.-area schools end lessons on not bullying gays.

A victory of sorts for us.

Criminal background checks are being proposed for homeschoolers!

Criminal background checks are being proposed for homeschoolers. The plan is called the most overbearing law in the English-speaking world. The left just won't give up, homeschoolers do far better on tests and many other areas but they just will not accept it. They use odd stories and say the kids are not socially adjusted, which studies now show are not true.
They just can't let Individuals exist. Because they know Individuals stand up against them and other tyrants.

College Degrees More Expensive, Worth Less in Job Market

This is something I have been talking about for years now, the price of government education has been inflated greatly over the past twenty plus years now, and with the current slow down it is starting to show.
The big problem is the left's big push for everyone to get a collage education, even if they are not interested in collage. Also it helps that most of the collages are run by the former hippies of the 60s and 70s, who I think are still partaking too much of the "herb."
I will have more to say about government education in my articles on education.

Principal contacted dad's Army commanders when faced with criticism

More from a liberalized school system, first if the parents have a problem with some thing you are doing ignore them, second attack them, and third try to destroy them.
This story is the prime example of how the left is trying to indoctrinate our children with their agenda without our permission. Our schools have been suffering from the social version of aids weakening its defences and exposing it to every leftist disease to attack and destroy it. Whats worst is they are actually trying to destroy a War Hero. Read the full story, to be motivated to fight back.

North Carolina Teen Stabbed Classmate Over Doughnut

What has been going on in the schools for the last few years is ridiculous.
As someone who has been bullied in school, they have allowed the bad students, the inmates if you would, to run the place they need to crack down on the bad students and then the school would start to improve, of course there is more to do then that I will have a series of articles on who to improve the school system in the US soon.
