Kind of reminds me of education in National Socialist Germany where they taught "National Socialist Mathematics," "National Socialist Physics," "National Socialist Chemistry," "National Socialist [fill in the blank]."

I am utterly shocked that this marxist curriculum is being proposed. Is this unexpected? No, given the new marxist leadership in Washington. Will it include Lenin's Scientific Socialism? I do hope parents reject this insidious brainwashing. It reminds me of the Soviet style teaching when students would say in math, two plus two is four, even in the Soviet Union.

American students perform poorly on tests, do not know their history, geography, and pretty much most things that educated people should know and are unabashedly unashamed of their ignorance, they wear it as a badge of honor. Look who is teaching them -most of the teachers are marxists, card carrying members of the NEA who themselves could not pass the tests that their students are subjected to, read and write poorly, but have great resumes and awards given by their supervisors or peers who are their communist apparatchiks.

Teachers are certified by the same corrupt system - when you compare them with graduates of Arts and Sciences curriculum, graduates of the College of Education come at the bottom - they are the worst students who cannot pass difficult courses on science and math and are not even trying. They make beautiful bulletin boards and design intricate lesson plans devoid of any substance and facts. I have no respect for these teachers, they are glorified baby sitters on educational payrolls and should be ashamed of themselves for perverting the minds of young people who look up to them as the absolute authority. Go back to school and learn your subject matter in a real class, not a pedagogy class so that you can impart real knowledge to students.

If you like communism so much move to Cuba to teach in Castro's schools not in our formerly free society.

Our education system is already a failure but now it will be a monumental failure on communist steroids. That's what you get when the majority of parents' only interest in their children's learning is whether they get free lunch and breakfast.

Time to get involved - we are tapped into our school districts board and stay tuned into this stuff - cannot let this socialistic teaching take root.

Kevin is right on point: get off our butts and get involved.

Give up TV and start going out and organizing

This is a very good example of why America will not be a player on the world stage in the future. We will be broke, in debt, insignificant, uneducated, and with no national conscience except that which China will allow us to have since they will, for all intents and purposes, own us.

The current administration from the top down has accelerated the destruction of America. they are a shameful breed and they need to be removed from office by whatever means necessary.

There's a scene in Orwell's "1984" in which the State torturer tells the citizen being tortured, "If the State tells you 2+2=5, then it equals 5. If the State tells you 2+2=3, then it equals 3."

And of course the citizen is thinking desperately that 2+2=4, and why would anyone WANT to teach people things that weren't true?

When you've got a math class that's being used to teach children that they are citizens of the world, you have an undeniable propaganda machine delivering programming. This MUST be opposed fiercely and without compromise.

Does anybody still doubt the radical and dangerous nature of these people?

A paper on a bulletin board had a sentence with a triple negative. The teacher said every student had to be "student of the week"

The purpose of Zinn's teaching is to create confusion in the minds of our young. Shame on the history channel for showing this slop. Don't watch it!

Well, it's nice to know you don't need to be a real historian to get air on the History Channel. We already know that "The People" know nothing about history. Can we call it history when the opinions outweigh the facts?

One more reason I homeschool! I can teach my daughter anything I want to and don't have to subject her to what someone else thinks is a good idea.

I taught in the public schools for 7 years (my debt to society is paid in full). 2/3 of the teachers I met should have been doing something else. They graduated high school, graduated from college, and went right back into school as a "teacher" - as if they knew something about the world! If I were king, I would not allow anyone under the age of 30 to teach, and only if they held a real job for at least five years and had one tour of duty in the military! Exempt would be the K-4 teachers, which would consist only of experienced mothers and fathers in very small, almost family - like groups (if that sounds like home schooling - it should). Parents - teach your children well, it is going to get much, much worse.

All the "social justice" problems, wealth distribution, etc. are a creation of Marxists and socialists. Their efforts result in the very things they preach against. They are a sad pathetic bunch of people starved for attention and desirious of power.
