I don't know that the school system in question isn't teaching the Constitution. Nobody has put their full agenda up to see.
Can't help you with the issue of the small government conservatives under the Bush administration. You need to ask them.
A Koch Brothers funded private school would be even more dangerous.
How so?A Koch Brothers funded private school would be even more dangerous.
I am not accusing you of anything. I am trying to have a conservation with you, but you seem to be shutting down the possibility. I have no clue if we agree or disagree... :shrug:
That's nice. Why don't you post this to conservatives and people who don't support Obama's military actions right now.
So, before the Federal government was involved we didn't educate our children? Take a good look at common core, and tell me that their involvement helps anything?
The act of instilling a sense of national pride is in fact... indoctrination.
That's like asking "How many death panel hearings has the IPAB had so far?"
Your responses aren't really responses. Do you think respect for authority should be taught in schools or not?
I am confused why you quoted me, questioned me, but keep making closed statements with no insight to your beliefs. Usually when people quote and question you, they want a conversation. What are your opinions?
Labor dispute going on? Matter of time? Huh?
One more time. The Boston Massacre started because a British guard hit a colonist over the head with a musket. It wasn't a civil protest, and it wasn't non-violent.
There are three major things that led to the Boston Massacre: First was the growing mistrust among the British soldiers and Americans. There were a number of other incidents were the British clashed with the patriots and their supporters. Individual soldiers were beaten on street corners and soldiers abused unarmed civilians. In all the Americans in Boston made it clear that the British soldiers were unwanted. The second reason is somewhat odd. The removal of two out of four regiments meant there were to inadequate amounts of soldiers to keep the peace. There were enough on the other hand to remind the patriots of the great British military. The last reason would be the revolt of the Townshend Acts. The patriots and Americans did not agree and strife with the British soldiers over it. The Act built tension between the two.
On March 5, 1770 the dreadful day came. A mob of people went in front of the Customs Office in Boston Massachusetts and started to throw stuff and give insults at the soldiers. As a result to this so-called harassment the soldiers fired on the crowd. The first to die was an African-Amercan man named Crispus Attucks. He was a native of Frainghan, Massachusetts. He escaped from slavery in 1750 and had become a sailor. Crispus Attucks is considered the first martyr of the American Independence. The four others who died were Samuel gray, a rope maker; James Caldwell, a sailor; Samuel Maverick, a seventeen year old apprentice and Patrick Carr, a leather worker and Irish immigrant. All in which were unarmed and brutally murdered.
When was federal government not involved? In the colonies were burned women alive. They still have witch hunts in Africa where people blame disease and natural destruction on witches. Women are murdered in Africa and hacked up with machetes.
We should have education in America. We need to study and understand what causes disease, earthquakes, etc.
Never disagreed with any of that.
Sure you did, your post #328 in this thread:
Well, Bunker Hill started as a civil protest didn't it.
This of course was before you realized that you thought you were talking about the Boston Massacre.
Don't be obtuse.
That is kind of true of adults as well. I know many people who want a chance to protest as an excuse to miss work or as an "F you" to the powers of society. Protest tends to be more emotionally guided than intellectually guided. A few intellectual leaders usually tend to rise to become the voices and spokesman of the movement and the rest will parrot their words and talking points.
They should make their millions now while they still know everything.Grade schoolers protest homework, lunch, dress-code, shortened recess....not curricula. Grade schoolers could give a **** about the acidemics because they'd just assume not go to school at all.I smell a rat.
How so?
I'm anything but obtuse when it comes to your posts. Your posts are all over the place and filled with falsehoods. Every time I point one out to you, you change up and pretend it's what you meant all along.
No; my posts are very consistent and factually sourced. YOU keep jumping around trying to be right.
Get a grip and read a book.
If there is bias and control over curriculum in public schools, do you really think for one minute that a Koch funded private school would not also provide a certain bias? At least with public schools there is some public involvement in who is on the school board and who sets the standards.
The idea of removing public schools and replacing them with privately funded schools scares me for many reasons. The same reasons private jails scare me. When a profit motive is set, it creates incentives that in many cases, hurt those they are trying to serve.
No it isn't... Political indoctrination is what's been going on in our schools for at least the last 40 years. They have been slowly removing the things in Americas history that made us great and set us apart from the rest of the world, and filling the gaps with the darker, more controversial episodes in our past with little in the way of balance and context.
What sort of bias? Can you be specific?If there is bias and control over curriculum in public schools, do you really think for one minute that a Koch funded private school would not also provide a certain bias?
Then why are these protests happening when the involvement begins?At least with public schools there is some public involvement in who is on the school board and who sets the standards.
The profit motive encourages everyone to do a better job. Volunteerism is great in certain areas but unreliable in sustaining an entire economy.The idea of removing public schools and replacing them with privately funded schools scares me for many reasons.
