A Plan To Get Divisive & Radical Theories Out Of Our Schools

Did you actually go to the article source and read the proposed ideas to deal with the present situation. Not one detractor of the article speaks to any point it makes.

 

Democrats deserve to lose when they make one with his history the better alternative. Notice that as a candidate and as President he didn’t do those kind of things.

 

Are you ever going to actually discuss his proposed solutions to the present issues.

 

Power to the People and away from government wherever possible.
The education system has failed.

"A new survey has found that a third of young millennials in the U.S. aren’t convinced the Earth is actually round. The national poll reveals that 18 to 24-year-olds are the largest group in the country who refuse to accept the scientific facts of the world’s shape."

"Another nine percent said of young adults said they thought the planet was spherical but had doubts about it. In a disturbing display of indecision, 16 percent of millennials said they weren’t sure what the shape of the planet was."

Then there is no longer racism?

 

Then the people in those localities have failed their children.

 

The American education system specializes in the cultivation of ignorance and failure.

80% of the HS graduates in the most heavily subsidized school system in America were found to be functionally illiterate.

Maybe they should start testing the drop-outs.

 

You've got be fcuhing kidding!

 

Do you think it’s possible and even recommended to point out and praise the positive things that a country is and has done in expression of said love while encouraging it to do better still?

 

Not even. I’m totally serious. President Trumps plan is a very good one and is already being done in red controlled school districts, counties, and states. Now the fight is on in the purple areas of the country.

 

We already teach them. We choose not to obsess over them or use them as an excuse to deny the exceptional nature of our country or to prevent the expression of pride in our country.

 

You got participation trophies, didn't ya wittle fella?

 

I never said that. There will always be some individuals who are racists and do or say racist things. The number of these people is way down now and there is no systemic racism now. America is not a racist nation just as African American US Senator Tim Scott has stated.

 

She didn't win and someone worse did. Unless you have proof of these bribes, you shouldn't bring them up. Anyone can just make crap up.

 

HEY JOE!!!! STOP THE RACISM!!!
I don't know if he heard me. I KNOW Byrd didn't.

 

Half the world want to come here? Really? Who knew?!!

 

So you're for anarchy.

 

The problem here is, those who advocate getting "divisive and and radical theories out of our schools" tend to have their own divisive and slanted agenda they would like to replace it with. Often times this comes in the guise of traditionalism and getting back to feeling like they once did, or feel like they think people once felt, in some era in history where they feel things were better. But they can't go back, because time doesn't move backwards.

There is only forwards. Forward doesn't have to mean things like 1619 Project and CRT(although I have yet to see anyone talking about, no matter if it's a left or right leaning source, what exactly CRT is and why it's so terrible, or good). But forward also can't mean pretending that America has gone over the hump of all of our problems and if we'd just stop talking about stuff, things would be great again.

Which I think brings us to the very root of the problem, which is, everyone is always trying to cram down your throat what the roots of the problems are! "It's the liberals! It's the conservatives! It's because we kicked God out of our schools! It's because of systemic racism!" Yada yada yada yada yada yada.

The internet has given everyone a sense of arrogance because everyone can find their own echo chamber to reinforce their sense of arrogance.

 

Yes, we all knew about these things........and what has changed? Not much really. Are they better? Yeah, a bit but if your a black male you still have real problems.

Well if democrats don't want to help blacks, republicans sure as hell don't want to help blacks. Just like republicans say they love the military, but don't and the police, but don't.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED!! that you would say something like that.
Who's naive?

 

Please......give 2 examples.

 

Tell us how YOU welcome them with open arms. They come for a better life and the leader for the last 4 years calls them "not the best people. Rapists, gang members criminals" etc. THAT is systemic racism.

 

Sorry, except for the faithful minions, no one gives a crap what DJT thinks. It is after all labeled "commentary". Good luck trying to sell that idea from The Absolute Worst Twice Impeached Orange Idiot.

 

Here are the reforms that every concerned parent in America should be demanding.

First, every state legislature should pass a ban on taxpayer dollars going to any school district or workplace that teaches critical race theory, which inherently violates existing anti-discrimination laws. Inspired by my executive order last year, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Oklahoma and other states have already taken steps to pass such laws. It needs to happen everywhere — and Congress should seek to institute a federal ban through legislation as well.

Second, each state should create its own 1776 Commission to examine the public school curriculum and ensure that students are receiving a patriotic, pro-American education — not being taught that the United States is an evil nation.

Third, parents have a right to know exactly what is being taught to their children. Last year, many parents had the chance to routinely listen in on classes for the first time because of remote learning. As students return to the classroom, states need to pass laws requiring that all lesson plans have to be made available to parents — every handout, article, and reading should be posted on an online portal that allows parents to see what their kids are being taught. Furthermore, in many places, there are rules preventing students from recording what teachers say in class. States and school boards should establish a “Right to Record.”

Fourth, parents need to organize locally — in every school district in America — to eliminate “Action Civics” and other versions of the effort to contort traditional civics education into a vehicle for political indoctrination. The left’s new argument is that our “divisions” stem from a lack of “civics education” — a problem they intend to “fix” with lots of new taxpayer money and a redefinition of “civics” in schools, just as they are trying to redefine the meaning of “infrastructure.” Right now, Congress is working on a $1 billion bill known as the Civics Secures Democracy Act. No Republican should trust the Biden administration with a billion dollars to spend on such programs. Even worse, the legislation threatens to establish a de facto national curriculum for history and civics, effectively bribing states into adopting the left’s anti-American curriculum. It is Common Core all over again -- but much more extreme. And like Common Core, parents must unite to stop this new federal power grab.

Fifth, any parent who objects to the material being taught to their child in public school should get an automatic voucher, empowering them to pick another school of their choice. The government has no right to brainwash students with controversial ideologies against their parents’ will.

Sixth, states need to take back control of their schools of education and credentialing bodies to ensure they are not churning out radicalized teachers. To be clear, the overwhelming majority of our nation’s teachers are some of the most selfless and wonderful people there are — but regrettably, many have graduated from extremely biased education schools and may not even be aware of the degree to which leftist ideology has permeated their curriculum. States should set up alternative credentialing bodies that can certify great teachers who know how to instill a sense of love for America. School districts can then make it a priority to hire teachers with these certifications, especially for English, history, and social studies roles. States could even set up their own versions of Teach for America to get passionate and patriotic young people into the classroom.

Finally, states need to break the tenure monopoly in public K-12 schools. Tenure was originally supposed to protect competent teachers from being subjected to undue political influence; it has turned into a mechanism to protect incompetent teachers who themselves wield undue political influence over our children. Educators who are alienating children from their own country should not be protected with lifelong tenure; they should be liberated to pursue a career as a political activist.

Make no mistake: The motive behind all of this left-wing lunacy is to discredit and eliminate the greatest obstacles to the fundamental transformation of America. To succeed with their extreme agenda, radicals know they must abolish our attachment to the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and most of all, Americans’ very identity as a free, proud, and self-governing people. The left knows that if they can dissolve our national memory and identity, they can gain the total political control they crave.

Yep. Six or seven points of distraction and diversion. That'll keep the minions busy running around in circles with their hair-on-fire!
