This is coming to a school near you.

Quote:The Tucson Unified School District has a department of ethnic studies, directed by a man named Augustine Romero. Romero says that traditional history courses are "highly ineffective for children of color." So he thinks he has a better way. He wants to teach revolution under the guise of multiculturalism and "ethnic studies." He wants students to resist against history and civics as they are traditionally taught because they are the product of "ultraconservatives." And this, folks, is in your government school districts in Tucson. Romero says, "With the ultraconservative orientation, people want to believe that if you offer a naive, simplistic, color-blind orientation, that's the only truth. We transcend indoctrination because we offer multiple perspectives. It's a higher level of thinking."

So the Tucson school districts are spending $2.6 million for this "ethnic studies" program. There are four separate departments: "raza" (Hispanic) studies, African-American studies, Pan-Asian studies and Native American studies. By far, most students chose the Raza studies. This department offers 12 literature and history courses, beyond the traditional classes offered at the government schools. Next fall, Romero wants to make a course in "intercultural proficiencies" a requirement.

As for the teachers ... well you can only imagine the people who are teaching this hogwash to their little government captives. Romero "happily acknowledges" that all of his instructors are "progressives," and he disapproves of any teacher who refuses to admit that all history instruction is political. He openly admits that his teachers are going to teach things that conservatives are not going to like.

Romero pulls from one of the Left's greatest inspirations: Che Guevara. Like Che, Romero believes that the world is divided between progressives and ultraconservative reactionaries (those are the ones that Che murdered).

And what do these classrooms look like? Speckled with posters of Che Guevara, Pancho Villa and even, yes, Fidel Castro.

Your government schools at work. But don't worry. No matter how bad things get in other government schools ... you just know, don't you, that the government school your children attend is just wonderful.

OK .. I know you're sick of me picking on government schools. Deal with it. When our government school system breaths its last rancid breath I'll taper off a bit.

So ... here's more!

Viva La Raza!

Don't think it can happen? What's the fastest growing group of people in this country?

It is Hispanic is you are looking at it from an ethnic point of view. What is your point? Save the white man and his version of history.

Education in the differences of cultures is certainly not a bad thing. Wanting the teaching of history to be politically based is unnerving. We wouldn't learn anything from it unless we look at history objectively, and from multiple viewpoints.

I have no problem with Hispanic people, so long as they leave the despotic **** that has essentially turned most countries in Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean into hellholes, behind. ...but like most liberals, they think that instead of changing course after several failures, you continue on the same path.

Government indoctrination centers teach statism..not objectivism,philosophy or truth...All history teaching is aimed at pumping up the illusion of the state and propagating its continued use of force upon the people without opposition. If you dont believe you are a slave...you wont oppose your slavery.

I am not defending those people you are talking about(despite what you may believe, I do not support Comunism) but if you are going to teach history, you should teach all of history. I am not saying they should be glorified for their part in history but they are a part of history and should be noted.

Don't know how old you are, but we were taught about Mussolini, Castro, Stalin, Lenin, and many, many other dictators and murderers as well. This, however, doesn't seem to be trying to teach, it seems to be trying to immortalize and admire these people.

Oh yeah...the dictators,murderers and anything that will make the kiddies way Old Glory and recite the socialist pledge of allegiance to it...I dont remember the teachers reminding us that Lincoln sent 500k of his people to their deaths to satisfy his obsession with statism...All I remember was the Honest Abe crap and a lot of statist history lessons...Nothing about the atrocities that the US has propogated except to vail them in nationalism.

I have to agree with Fo'Shizzle on this one.

When we were young, we were only taught history in a way that glorified the Western European then American version of history. Perfect example would be Native American relations.
