Now I must live long enough to do the same for my son. I'm working quite hard on accomplishing that goal. After that , I will not be eager to go but will be secure in the fact that he is an honorable intelligent man fully able to take care of himself.-Tyr
    Your kids are very blessed Tyr. At least you are willing to tug them away from that left wing nonsense.

    the rabbit hole is deep on the education front but it's not hard to get the picture.

    the corporate foundations the NEA and the Feds have had and agenda to make people good worker bees on the corporate/gov't plantation.
    that's a stark way to put it but seriously,
    is the purpose of public school to create entrepreneurs, or self sufficient families, or involved citizens, people with good Christian morals?


    In another tread i quoted a few heads of the NEA and education experts who have made it known publicaly that they want public schools to be place where Children are detached from the vaules of Family religion and country. And adhere to a cooperative world village, where there are in lock step with the judgements of the wise benevolent atheistic elites.

    they are not shy.
    and the text books and curriculum point every child in that direction.
    Seriously, if children had NOTHING but a public school education they all would be faith scoffing atheist democrats who begged for one world gov't., green everything, expect the gov't to take care of them, and hate capitalism and wonder how anyone could conceive of anything different.

    20 years ago i wrote letters to editor on this topic when i thought it was only an anti christian thing.
    Where NONE of the christian heritage of... of.. anyone was ever ever mentioned to influence anything.even when i wnet to school the only religious aspect of American history i got was the pilgrims fled religious persecution had thanks giving but then the bad old Christians had a Salem Witch trials. That's its.
    Anywho tyr is right, there's a clear history to this that goes way back and the agenda is anti-christian, anti family, anti-nationalist and anti-capitalist/private ownership.
    Hmm. guess things have changed a wee bit then.

    Evolution
    7. The frequency of an allele in a gene pool of a population depends on many factors and may be stable or unstable over time. As a basis for understanding this concept:
    a. Students know why natural selection acts on the phenotype rather than the geno* type of an organism.
    b. Students know why alleles that are lethal in a homozygous individual may be carried in a heterozygote and thus maintained in a gene pool.
    c. Students know new mutations are constantly being generated in a gene pool.
    d. Students know variation within a species increases the likelihood that at least some members of a species will survive under changed environmental condi* tions.
    e.* Students know the conditions for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in a population and why these conditions are not likely to appear in nature.
    f.* Students know how to solve the Hardy-Weinberg equation to predict the fre* quency of genotypes in a population, given the frequency of phenotypes.
    8. Evolution is the result of genetic changes that occur in constantly changing environ* ments. As a basis for understanding this concept:
    a. Students know how natural selection determines the differential survival of groups of organisms.
    b. Students know a great diversity of species increases the chance that at least some organisms survive major changes in the environment.
    c. Students know the effects of genetic drift on the diversity of organisms in a popu* lation.
    d. Students know reproductive or geographic isolation affects speciation.

    e.Students know how to analyze fossil evidence with regard to biological diversity, episodic speciation, and mass extinction.
    f.* Students know how to use comparative embryology, DNA or protein sequence comparisons, and other independent sources of data to create a branching dia* gram (cladogram) that shows probable evolutionary relationships.
    g.* Students know how several independent molecular clocks, calibrated against each other and combined with evidence from the fossil record, can help to estimate how long ago various groups of organisms diverged evolutionarily from one another.
    Thats the educational standard on evolution for california, sorry don't remember the grade, but Im guessing high school. Anything you disagree with there?

    7. Describe the Golden Age of cooperation between Jews and Muslims in medieval Spain that promoted creativity in art, literature, and science, including how that cooperation was terminated by the religious persecution of individuals and groups (e.g., the Spanish Inquisition and the expulsion of Jews and Muslims from Spain in 1492).

    3. Understand the scientific method advanced by Bacon and Descartes, the influence of new scientific rationalism on the growth of democratic ideas, and the coexistence of science with traditional religious beliefs.
    I could on and on. There's a lot. Its not all bad; Perhaps you just remember what you took offense to. Nobody liked the inquisition; it was a black mark no doubt. The witch trials, bad. Manifest destiny, has its detractions. But there's a lot of good too-- our founding fathers' beliefs on religious freedom get noted; The Catholic Church receives props for establishing educational institutions; links between Christianity and democratic principles. These are things that are taught in California schools. Its upon the educator to apply their own prudence to properly administer this at the local and classroom level. I guess my point is its not all the evils of capitalism and christians and family and nation. Sorry you feel that way.

    Liberal History 101

    A few "facts" according to the left


    The Pilgrims did not come to America. They were a bunch of Bible thumping gun lovers who got lost and showed up here by accident

    We did not defeat the British for our independence. No, they got bored and went home

    The US did not help in defeating Germany in WWII. No, Russia allowed us to take some of the credit

    Ronald Reagan did not defeat communism. Obama and company are still here


    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

    I'll review whats in there.
    What you've posted looks A WHOOOLE lot better than i got.
    I never got anything on the reformation. Most our time was spent on the wonders of renaissance and the enlightenment. before that it was the "dark ages" where the church did nothing but have war and oppress everything.

    the only other bright spot was William Penn and the Quakers. And "crazy" John Brown. everything else good and wholesome came from people who didn't care about God really. That's the impression i got. and I wasn't even a Christian at that point.

    Learned about Newton in history and science but NEVER was told that he was a devout Christian, and that many other earlier scientist were as well. Or that it influenced their view of science because they believed that God had created order that could be studied.

    Never told about the Great awakening or Revivals of the U.S. Or how they influence social reform after the 1800s. Other than the civil rights movement.

    But I'll have to look over the rest of you list and get back to you .


    2.

    4.
    Identify the significance and leaders of the First Great Awakening, which marked a shift in religious ideas, practices, and allegiances in the colonial period, the growth of religious toleration, and free exercise of religion.
    that is outstanding. And frankly I'd like to know how many people in America could describe much the above with very much clarity.
    I'm reading books on it now as an adult because i was only aware of the thin outlines of most of the above.

    All of those events and movements are covered, you have to see the textbooks though to get the perspectives given.

    Look long and hard at those lists. Grab any textbook and see how each chapter is laid out and the emphasis given.

    I expected as much, but didn't want to reject logs post out of hand. I've seen other text, and other federal guidelines, and other quizzes and test q&A's that spin everything in the direction that i mentioned. But at the least there are some of the basics, so people don't start from near zero.

    i understand In the U.K. schools, they have full on courses on religion and the bible and are very familiar with a lot of their true religious history and sources of rights, freedoms and properity. The magna carta, the conventares, Quakers, Calvin, Wilberforce , but it's all academic, the modern ideals are Taught as superior and reality. The rest may as well have been complete mythology and pre-science or premodern thought. Of some use ...then..., often inspiring and poetic, but not to be taken seriously any more. Now in the modern age they know better, world gov't, green livin, no religion, and family is what you make it. (Except for the pesky French who really don't want samesex marriage legal ethier)

    In other words they study the "old" truth that help make them what they are as dead museum pieces. Denying the reality of it's current power today and future life.
    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
    Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God.
    1 Peter 2:16

    Christopher Columbus was the first liberal Democrat. He left not knowing where he was going,got there not knowing where he was,left there not knowing where he’d been and did it all on borrowed money.


    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
