Government targets kids for indoctrination.
When I was a kid in school, we were taught about American history. We learned all about the Revolutionary War, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution, also known as the Bill of Rights. We took great pride in the sacrifices that the early patriots made to secure their freedom from oppressive English rule, and we understood – even as kids – that our country was something special because of the liberties we enjoyed.
Well, that was then and this is now. We’re all painfully aware that now our government is doing everything it can to erase patriotism from the American landscape and to set itself up as the master of the people, instead of the way our Founding Fathers envisioned it to be. The best way to accomplish this is by indoctrinating our children. That way, by the time they become adults, it won’t bother them that they don’t have any freedoms left.
If you think I’m exaggerating about this situation, I’m not. Kids in an Arkansas school are being taught that the Bill of Rights is “outdated.” They’ve been told that a couple of Amendments need to come out of the Constitution and a couple of others need to be added, thanks to something called Common Core (a U.S. education initiative) and public school curricula.
The idea is to put it into kids’ heads that the Constitution is merely a “suggestion” rather than a crucial document upon which our country was founded. Failing to teach children the importance of our country’s founding principles is bad enough, but when they then try to change history, it gets even worse.
While this strategy should come as no surprise when we have an administration that is bent on destroying everything sacred to the United States, it’s still very disturbing to me. How dare these “progressives” disrespect documents that our Founding Fathers slaved over while establishing the greatest country in the history of the world.
There’s only one way that we’re going to keep our country and everything we believe in from being destroyed and that’s by fighting them every step of the way. Let your public officials know that you don’t want this kind of teaching going on in the schools near where you live.
Is toying with the Constitution and other essential American documents troubling to you? If so, I’d like to hear from you.
I am a retired teacher and don’t think AR is the only state using common core in their classrooms, I have been reprimanded for teaching about the Holocaust, the principal told me no such thing ever REALLY happened during WWII it was a made up thing to keep the Jews in line. According to him it never happened. I decided at that moment I needed to retire after 22 years it was the best thing for me as continuing would have only made me crazier then I was already. Teaching these days have become nothing but going through the motions ,and filling out stacks of forms for the state and government No satisfaction there.
Parents start home schooling your children. Always fight for your rights and teach your children well.
Yes. Parents who are concerned need to pull their children out of public schools and either home school or find a Christian based private school. Otherwise all we will have left to lead us in the future are a bunch of brain-washed idiots.
Not only the quality of instruction given in schools is often questionable, but the leftist teachings are even more dangerous.
It is these distorted teachings that have students not only question our support of the Constitution, but the facts about our Constitutional Republic. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has her work cut out for her. She needs to not onlymake sure facts are taught, but that the teachers are not indoctrinating in anti-American crap. When students declare that Trump is a worse threat than ISIS, real damage has been done.
Since 1913 the Federal Government t began stealing the wealth of America with the Federal Income tax and then came social security which increased the theft. I say we abolish both and allow people to take responsibility for their life. The bigger the Government gets the more we become indentured servants to the ruling class.
I am a believer in patriotism but I was just denied my right to own a gun!! I applied for a FOID card and one of the questions asked about mental health and I answered with all honesty yes!! I suffered a bought of depression and got help from a doctor and got better!! I was told that depression is a mental health condition and because of that I was not aloud to own a gun!! Come on depression I don’t know of any one that hasn’t had sum depression in their life!! I will bet that the officer who has a gun has had depression at some time in his life but has a gun!!! And I don’t!!!!!!
Your mistake was disclosing a condition that you no longer have.
The Constitution is “outdated” and this is happening in a state governed by a Republican? Isn’t Bobby Jindal the governor? Where is his outrage and action to stop this creeping communism in his own state?
I hope, now that he’s out of the presidential race, he will concentrate on HIS state, get rid of these cockroaches destroying the very basic founding document and its values.
And for the rest of the Republican governors: why did you support Common Core? Were you paid off to support this monstrosity, or simply to look the other way unquestioningly?
For We the People: get rid of your governor if he supports or had ANY part in ceding the power of the individual to the New World Order gang. It still remains possible through the ballot box to right the ship. A good start would be the election of Donald Trump who is a patriot and unafraid of cleaning the roaches from government.
Jindal is from Louisiana.
Yes we all need to be more vocal and put in writing our concerns to the governors of our state, letting them know we will NOT support them if they continue to follow Common Core and teach our Constitution is just a piece of paper that can be changed by every whim of a political party or entity. Start writing, folks!!
Constitutional mandated citizens like myself may consider reading the books “Rule by Secrecy”, “The Creature From Jeckyl Island” and “Treason In America”. I’m sworn to “protect our country’s Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic”; and, 99% of our constitution’s enemies appear to be domestic. That will not change for me because it is my walk.
I to Bob will protect my Constitution with my life! And especially the Bill of Rights! And we need to stop judicial system from trying to take over the country with their own idea of the Constitution!
I live in Florida and the latest Bush when he was governor of Florida he pushed this Common Core on to the people of Florida, and he is a Republican?
Do you have a list of names on who to contact on Maui, Hawaii
GUNS THEY BEEN TAKING THEM AWAY SINCE 1920 OR SO AS LONG AS THE UN STAYS IN THIS COUNTRY YOUR GUNS WILL BE GONE ONE DAY SOON 2020 IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER MARK IT ON YOUR CALENDOOR.HOME COME THEY HAD A DAY SCHOOL IN OK, AND NOT ANYWHERE ELSE DURIND THIS TIME OR SINCE THAT TIME WHEN IT WENT BYE BYE THINK ABOUT IT ALSO RUBY RIDGE,WACO,ETC ETC ETC…..
CONGRESS SHOULD WORK TOGETHER NOT AGAINEST EACH OTHER THEY WORK FOR US BUT THEY SIGN THERE OWE PAY CHECKS AND GIVE THEMSELFS BIG FAT RASIES EACH YEAR WHILE WE GET LESS AND LESS OF OUR MONEY AND WHEN THEY NEED MORE THEY JUST STEAL IT FROM US AND ALL OF OUR 401KS AND ALL THE OTHERS THEY MAKE US USED TO SAVE MONEY FOR THEM NOT US.

INPEACH OBAMA AND THE US CONGRESS WE DONT LIVE IN ENGLAND ANYMORE BUT WE SURE ASS HELL WE FOLLOW THE LAWS. GET RID OF THE U.N. THEY ARE A FORIGEN COUNTRY IN THE USA .
I agree. Get rid of the UN kick them out and let them go live e in one of the other countries that don’t believe in freedom nor thier rights or say what the govt can or can’t do.
100% agree. Kick the bums out. Stop US funding the UN.
I have been saying for the past 3 decades that all funds to the UN need to be stopped. No one pays attention to me. Now we have a president who is willing to do that…. at least cut it back severely. The USA pays almost 1/2 of the funding for the UN. Does that tell anyone anything??? Wake up. Your tax dollars are paying to sustain the UN. Voice you opposition, in writing, to all your state and federal representatives. If you REALLY want the UN gone, do something about it. You can find the names and addresses for your representatives on line.
Well, Victoria Secret will soon be selling burkas. Every day we get just one step closer to the Koran, Islamic Law, and the “Church Police State”, that seems to be taking over the rest of the world Weekly beheadings in the town square by 2020. And if you complain, well, “OFF COMES YOUR HEAD”. Don’t the future of America look just peachy?
I read every entry and my blood pressure rises. I hear the problems as our schools teach us less on how to think for ourselves and more about what to think. Is there a book which teaches the principles of the constitution in laymans terms on not only how to think but how to live. Is there A book that highlights constitutional principles in past successes and present ones. Is there a book that can pull the masses out of their cultural hypnosis and teach them to listen for the catch phrases of deception. We need a comprehensive blueprint.

MARILY YOU ARE RIGHT IT IS THE END OF TIMES JUST NICKLASES CAGE LEFT BEHIND GOD CAME DOWN IN A BLINK OF AN EYE AND SAVED MILLIONS THAT BELEIVE IN HIM AND DID HIS WORK
Our Government in Washington has not been living under the Constitutional rules for years. For example, read Article I, Section 8 and tell me where the Constitution gives the government the power and authority in most of the Executive Departments. There is nothing there about Health and Human Services, Welfare, Housing & Urban Development, Transportation (except Post Roads), Agriculture, Energy, etc. There are only three Departments that the Constitution mentions: Commerce, Treasury, Defense. All the rest should be removed.
I agree somewhat with Mr. Clark. E.g. one of my Senators is pushing increased gas taxes. The Rep. have been crying and castigating the Dems. for increasing taxes and the first thing the Reps. do,when they get control of both houses, is to start raising taxes. The Reps are as bad as the Dems in that they lie and cheat, claim to be ‘conservative’ but look at the actions of McCain, and several others that have connived with the present administration to break the laws of immigration, etc.
NONE of them are trustworthy because they are there to get rich with a big 6 figure salary, free first class medical care, and retire at their full Salary. Plus they get inside info and I guarantee that they use it on the Stock Market to make more. One of the Founding Fathers said that no federal job, appointed or elected, should be paid enough to make anyone want the job for the money. Name me one job in either or all of the 3 Branches that complies with that! They have even connived in Congress to be able to raise their OWN salary – which raises their present pay and their retirement pay. This assumes, of course, that the Federal Government will have any money to pay them for life.
Frank:
I have a few criticisms of your essay. What you are attempting to say is very very important, but that means that it ought to be said with the greatest of care. First of all you lay our problems at the feet of basically one group that you label “progressives.” This is not helpful because 1) it is wrong, 2) divisive, and therefore 3) misleading and can only confuse. For example the majority of those who read your essay will interpret your language to mean “those people (neighbors) who are not ‘conservative'” and to many of those that will mean simply ‘Republican.’ What could be more divisive? You know that on a daily basis we are all being betrayed–and equally!–by both sides of Congress. Our problem is much much deeper than party politics which are now, today, not in any way a solution but a part of the larger deceit. Parties imply adherence to a set of unchanging principles and not one of our parties ever have stated that greed is a principle, ever! They adhere to no true principles at all and therefore are a fake and an abomination and their apparent dialogue is just that, apparent, and a part of the larger deceit. We have no parties; what we have is a game of charades, of musical chairs played to the rhythms of the Star Spangled Banner!” All of it is a fake and we must get off of this party bandwagon, or die.
All three branches of our so-called representative government have been take over by profiteers, by huge multi-national conglomerates–not by a group of people/citizens who belong to a different group than you and I. We have all (all of us!) been hoodwinked! The profiteers use two basic methods: deceit, and the age-old method of divide and conquer. So, we must take great care that WE do not become, inadvertently, the willing agents of those behind those two programs. We must do nothing to divide neighbor from neighbor! Instead, we must forge solidarity by showing all of our neighbors–those who, like us, have been fooled by decades and decades of carefully constructed propaganda–that, though confused, we are not each others enemy but that our enemy is a big out-of-control government, the three parts of which are no longer separate, and those who call themselves our representatives but who serve only those who can pay for their services are also the enemy. My neighbors, and no one (vague) group of neighbors, are the enemy Frank, but everyone (except a very very and ineffective few) in Congress is the enemy along with those who conspire to manipulate our government and malign and/or alter the “self evident truths” which the Founders attempted to build a nation upon. And you properly hit upon this point, I admit. But this will not help if elsewhere you violate your own point!
This brings me to another point. You say, ” How dare these “progressives” disrespect documents that our Founding Fathers slaved over while establishing the greatest country in the history of the world,” as if that has ever been an assured reality instead of a dream that needs constant vigilance to be preserved by establishing it moment by moment every day of our lives. In any case, according to the facts, we are NOT the “greatest country in the world” but merely a shadow of the dream of creating a nation not on raw power but on first principles, first principles that we began to betray almost immediately upon the ratification of the Constitution! Nor are we “special.” An aristocracy or caste system is one where there are some who are “special.” But how can we be special if we successfully build a nation on the notion that “all men are created equal” and attempt thereby to place the footing of the nation on light, “self evident truth,” and not on the privileges (power) of one class, of a few!? Frank, our problem is not a group of unknown neighbors who we call “progressives.” The whole damn thing has been taken over and is rotten to the core, and that my neighbor is confused does not meant that he should be labeled and marginalized but instructed, i.e., helped! We cannot come together, and we absolutely must, if based upon shallow thinking we inadvertently use language that divides us rather than underscoring in everything we say the way to unity and solidarity.
In conclusion, we cry out every day that Congress does not have a committee to check every piece of legislation against the Constitution. But we too, and first, must make sure that by inadvertence, or an excess of passion, we do not ourselves violate the sound metaphysical principles that our Founders attempted (I repeat “attempted”) to use as the foundation of a new way of understanding the Polis. Every time the Democrats rail against the Republicans, or the Republicans against the Democrats, the 1% should for joy and call for a feast! We must see that and act accordingly. We must drop this party nonsense and look into our hearts and minds where we can see the identity and natural solidarity that I have with all of my neighbors! Thank you Frank for your good and ongoing work. Jay Warren Clark
While I agree with you that Common Core has to go. I would suggest that you not fight revisionist history by revising History. Common Core was the creation of a group of Republican governors. It’s adoption was funded by the Pearson corporation (the SAT folks). They were upset that the need to create high stakes tests (like the STandards of Learning test here in Virgina), was lowering their profits. Now it’s much cheaper to provide one test for those 40-odd states that adopted Common Core. And, surprise, surprise, their largest stockholders are the Bush family (you know the ones that always wear U.S. Flag lapel pins). As an earlier comment said, the traitors to the principels of Amaeica are the corporitists. Keep your eye on the pea.
Can’t find where I got this from, but here it is:
DO YOU PRACTICE YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS?
Communism is a way of life that is contrary to most teachings of the Bible and that of the Common Law as our beloved country “The Union of States” was founded to be. In 1848, Karl Marx wrote the 10 planks of the communist manifesto, which he copied from an article written by Adam Weishaupt in 1797. (This article was named “How to Change a Republic into a Democracy”). It is the foundation of communist ideology. A true communist or communist country would be practicing all these 10 planks. Today, even here in America, we ARE practicing all these 10 planks and we don’t even know it, but we don’t call the U.S. a communist country, so we call it a democracy (which is really the same thing).
The 1st Plank: THE ABOLITION OF PROPERTY IN LAND AND APPLICATION OF ALL RENTS IN LAND TO PUBLIC PURPOSES.
As in the old law of Moses and in the first 150 years of America, when you owned land, you had absolute title to the land and no other party whatsoever could lay claim to it unless you sold the
land or voluntarily let another party lay claim. Even then, you had the right to get it back, though it may take your grandchildren to reclaim it. Today, we only have what you call a 99 year lease. The state can confiscate your land for non-payment of taxes. The
only reason the state can do this is that you don’t really own the land, because by law, you are not a State Citizen, but a U.S. citizen (a citizen of the District of Columbia) and therefore, by law, an
alien who is resident within the state. The state has controlling interest on your land, and you are merely paying rent (property tax) and this rent goes to public purposes.
The 2nd Plank: A HEAVY PROGRESSIVE OR GRADUATED INCOME TAX
We all know that we have an income tax in America, and that the more you make, the more you are taxed.
The income tax on the working individual was instituted in 1942 by the President of the (not federal, no reserve) N.Y. Federal Reserve Bank, Mr. Beardsly Rumhl, with the backing of F.D.R.. State Citizens are still exempt, however.
The 3rd Plank: THE ABOLITION OF ALL RIGHTS OF INHERITANCE.
In the old law of Moses there was no inheritance tax. Land was transferred to the eldest son absolutely. In the first 150 years in America, inheritance and/or your assigns was also absolute. There were no third parties involved. A marriage license makes the state a third party to the marriage. If you are an alien you cannot have the right of descent. Thus, the state has an interest which must be paid when one dies. Property goes to the State without a will. Inheritance is taxed with a will.
The 4th Plank: THE CONFISCATION OF THE PROPERTY OF ALL EMIGRANTS AND REBELS.
Some people are beginning to find out about what is really going on. They are beginning to rebel against the communists controlling the government and in response, SWAT teams are sent against them. Businesses are closed down, homes are taken from them and they are put out on the street. Their wages are taken from them, so they cannot sustain the necessities of life. All because the IRS (actually the collection agency of the Federal Reserve Bank) controls the lifeblood of all the citizens of the District of Columbia. (U.S. Citizens)
The 5th Plank: CENTRALIZATION OF CREDIT IN THE HANDS OF THE STATE, BY MEANS OF A NATIONAL BANK WITH STATE CAPITAL AND AN EXCLUSIVE MONOPOLY
This brings us straight to the Federal Reserve Bank. This is a private bank, not a governmental agency. The basis of the federal reserve note is credit which is the reason it has no gold or silver backing. The government borrows these notes to pass on to the people to use, and pays interest in gold or silver to the foreign communist owners of the bank. In the first 150 years of America, people used gold or silver coins as currency, they did not have to pay interest to anyone for their use.
The 6th Plank: THE CENTRALIZATION OF THE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORTATION IN THE HANDS OF THE STATE
This is accomplished by the Federal Communications Commission which Controls, regulates and licenses all magazines; radio and television stations who are in local or national networks in a corporate capacity. Transportation is controlled through the use of state vehicle registration and licensing of the owners.
The 7th Plank: THE EXTENSION OF FACTORIES AND THE INSTRUMENTS OF PRODUCTION OWNED BY THE STATE AND THE BRINGING INTO CULTIVATION OF LAND AND THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE SOIL GENERALLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH A COMMON PLAN.
Factories are all controlled by the government by means of permits and licenses. Various other agencies like OSHA, labor boards, and unions all regulate the businesses. Smaller businesses are extensions of these factories because they are franchises. Farmers are told which crops to plant and are sometimes paid not to plant. Farms are controlled by various governmental agencies like Soil Conservation Districts, Bureau of Land Management and Desert Land Entry Act, where government owned land is leased to corporate farmers. Like the Imperial Valley in San Diego.
The 8th Plank: EQUAL LIABILITY FOR ALL TO LABOR AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ARMIES, ESPECIALLY FOR AGRICULTURE.
Equal liability is established through Social Security, and (remember the FRB having control of the economy) forcing women to work as the man cannot earn enough to support his family. Most are members of an industrial army through the SSN because one cannot get a job without this number. (There are ways.)
The 9th Plank: THE COMBINATION OF AGRICULTURE WITH MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES AND THE GRADUAL ABOLITION OF THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TOWN AND COUNTRY BY THE MORE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION OVER THE COUNTRY.
Regional government under control of the federal government, who are under the direct control of foreign bankers. In other words, “ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT”.
The 10th Plank: FREE EDUCATION FOR ALL CHILDREN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Need this be explained? Even private and church schools must obtain a license and teach state approved courses. These all teach humanistic principles, not reading, writing and mathematics.
They are taught to be good slaves to the government and ask for a license (pemission) before doing anything. They are taught that the government will support them, if they do what they are told, and do not ask questions.
**********************************************************************
In order to practice your Constitutional freedoms, you need to rid yourself of your assigned Social Security Number and seek State Citizenship or Freeman Sovereign status. Then you are no longer a subject of the Federal Government. (As, if you lived in a kingdom, you would be a subject of the King and must do as you are told no matter what.) Not being a subject of the Federal Government offers you the tremendous advantage of not being under the jurisdiction of Statute (Admiralty, International, Contract, or Commercial [these are all the same]) Law. Now you have the Constitution. Now you have the Law intended by the founding fathers on your side. Now you have the Common Law, not all these endless permits and licenses and (victimless crime) statutes.
Now you are not regulated. Now you no longer need support Socialism or Communism with your tax dollars. Now you have no income tax dollars to owe. Now you help to break the Federal Reserve Bank’s stranglehold on you and the Constitution.
I am afraid that John is correct. I know that it is hard to wrap your brain around the concept – but there it is, our Government at its fineness. Treating its citizens as “Resident aliens” tied to the District of Columbia through our so called Social Securities numbers. Not only is our Federal Government doing this, but, our State Government is doing this as well, calling its citizens resident aliens.
You see, the truth is very hard to swallow when the consequences can be so dire. There will be a lot of people out there that will read this, store the information in the back of their brains until they feel the information is needed. In short, they will do nothing about this at this time. Shoot, they won’t even bother looking into this to investigate the ramifications that can and will occur until it is way to late to make a difference. There are cities kicking people out of their own homes because someone in the family has broken a law. Yet, this person hasn’t even been charged with the crime, they are just suspected of doing the crime.
Most of the people that are in their 50’s known as Baby Boomers. In the next 20 years, these people will not be around or no longer be able to defend themselves; for they are on the down side in life, where their prime concern is their health and enjoying the remainder of their lives in comfort. The vast majority of the Baby Boomers will die out and our Government knows this. They are counting on this. They are dumbing down the remaining citizens as we speak by not informing their rights, by giving them full benefits to their rights, by creating a tier system of rights for the resident aliens. Only the educated and elite will achieve full citizenship status.
If you look to the past performance of our Government in their treatment of the Native American Indians; the American Government has conspired to erode the rights and promises given these Native Americans by creating “New and Improve Contracts” which only goes to retract a costly promise and give them a newly empty promise.
If you take the time and look at the paperwork when you sign your name and forces you to give your Social Security number at the bank; the document used is affirming that you are calling yourself, “subject to the District of Columbia as a resident alien.” And this reaffirmation is made every time you use your Social Security Number. This is the Government’s way of hitting you with legalese, taking you right as a citizen of the United States of America and putting you under the District of Columbia. Remember, D.C. is not a state, therefore, isn’t afforded the rights of a State within the United States of America.
You are being a victimized by the dumbing down process and procedure by the Government, daily. When was the last time you were arrested, or have seen someone that was arrested and was given the Miranda Rights? Even on TV they don’t do this any more. In fact, on TV they are treating their suspects, (Now called persons of interest) as if they were terrorist. The new boogeyman under the bed of every American. These so called suspects are denied their tights in the name of justice. Here, the end does justify the means. But this is fantasy. In the real world Leroy Jethro Gibbs doesn’t exist, but his mentality sure does. It is the dumbing down of the average person by telling them what to expect and what will be acceptable in real life. The Government will roll over the average person rights in the hopes of obtaining what information they need or want whereby any illegal technicalities will be address either in court or during your appeal process. They are not going to enforce your rights from their end because they know Your Rights will get In Their Way. Their point of view is, “That is what the courts are for.”
The only thing we can do at this point and time is to make our families become aware of their rights and teach them to our kids and our grand kids. To start getting our so called Federal Representatives involved and address these short comings in Congress. Have them start throwing in some safe guards and take out some of the trash that is polluting our Standards and Rights.
Common Core is part of UN Agenda 21. Google it, but be prepared for a rise in blood pressure.
I went to UN Agenda 21 website. I could not find anything about “Common Core”. Can you give better instructions?
You won’t find anything under the heading of common core. Read the entire document and look at it with the idea of personal freedom. The ENTIRE document is geared to REMOVE ALL individual responsibility, critical thinking, private property and replace it with COMPLETE government control of EVERY aspect of life from birth to death.
To those who wrote that Republicans created Common Core, should have there heads examined. First of all Bill Gates provided the funds to establish Common Core. Non educators created the programs being presented. If I wer a parent of children at that school I would sue the district and that school for having that program in any school. Ti totally distorts the truth. Calfornia has been fighting this to keep it out of the schools. Being that California is a liberal state they allow revisionism to take the place of reality. Hit the state and the school district and that school woth lawsuits to remove it from their classrooms.
You mentioned dumbing down of the population. It is done with the Nazi method of adding fluoride into our drinking water. To further enhance this use of aspartame and other artificial sweeteners, the MSG in our foods and last but not least are all the vaccinations given to our kids from two months on. There is a vaccine court that has paid out 3 billion dollars for damages done by vaccines. The population has been dumbed down for decades but our news media do not mention of these adverse methods used on us. The dumb people still believe the monopolistic medical and big pharme propaganda regarding the so called poisonous medicines administered to us. How the poisons spread through chemtrails? Because you have lackasses running around telling evryone bout global warming and that is why chemtrails are needed? Keep believing the propaganda coming from D.C.
A Friend and I were discussing this issue just yesterday, common core is just the start, the grading system that goes with it promotes “communism” at it finest. The School Board in your district, or the State, depending on where you live, decides the “standard” for your grade level with no parent input (and trust me, they don’t want your input), then your grade is M-for meets expectations or P-for progressing to standards or N- for not meeting standards. But standard is average so your gifted or above average child is not pushed to make that 98% or 100% A and your 70% student is not pushed to make that 80% B. As long as they pass the final test, home free. And yes for those of you thinking ahead, no more Valvictorian or Salutatorian, we must not suggest that we compete for good grades.
I said all that, but at the end of our discussion, our real question was, what can we do? We vote, we are involved, we get other parents and grandparents involved, we were able to unseat one school board member this year but clearly that is not enough!
With the Government monitoring all forms of communication we would be hard pressed to have a protest of more than 100 people without the FBI being call in with full riot gear.
SO WHERE DO WE START????????
Sandy, you start by Educating yourself on all the facts. Then look at the people who are involved and see where they are coming from. Do they have a hidden agenda, if so find out what it is. Are they just going through the motions? What is their motivation.
Next, find like people that feel the same way as you do. Get them organized and see if you can be placed in a position of power, like a member of the Board of Education, where you can influence their decisions and have your supports back you up.
You will need to stay ahead of the learning curve. Learn to make friends with those that you can’t stand and have a thick skin. Stay true to yourself and don’t take no or yes for an answer. Seek out your own answer and plan for the future not for what is expedient and easy for the here and now. Good Luck.
Just à few words, I read through the comments and there seem to be a general agreement about our Freedoms our constitution and the ways we are straying from how the founding father’s wanted this country to be.
I did have a few comments on what has been written, 1. Thank you Jean Davi for your service to our country both my parents were in the world war ll in England.
2. Mnizol religion is not the root of all evil. Not sure where you got this but it is wrong. If you are referring to all the fighting and killing that has been done under the banner of religion, that would be true, but it is not the religion that was evil, but the minds of men & women who interpreted what they thought should be done. I can’t speak on all religions, but with Christian’s the main person is Jesus and his teachings were love and forgiveness (the whole if your brother slaps your face give him the other cheek). And it is also taught that the lust for money is the root of all evil
And if you look back at history and dig into it, you will find the religion wars had at their center the lust for money and power and control.
Etc
3. (And my last point.. yea) While in principal I believe that the Congress makes laws and changes them. But in the real world we have seen presidents change or modify laws, ignore laws. And the courts (which are suppose to just interpret law, have in fact changed laws by setting up a preference which then stands as the modify law. Case in point, you can ask almost anyone that is in their 30ry something. “Is it in the constitution that there is a separation of church and state” and most if not all will answer “yes it is” when it is not in it at all. Nowhere is it except in the writings of a founding father, which the courts then interpreted it as part of the constitution. When what was being written about in the letter was that this new government in American was not going to be like the one in England that set (The Church of England) as the official religion. And at one time required it be all who lived there their religion too. But in the new country they were not going to sponsor one religion, but instead have freedom of religion, but that this country was founded on the Jewish and Christian principles. That is all have a great week.
Sir: In some sense you argue against yourself. You defend religion correctly; religion is not to be defined by those who corrupt and misuse its teachings–and those are very many. Very fine. But you are not correct to say that “the separation of Church and state is not in the Constitution.” Yes, the specific language is not there but the principle of that is not only there but in the very first amendment! The First Amendment is of its very nature a sword with two edges. On the one hand one is free to believe whatever one wants; your conscience is free or, in other words, you are free to practice whatever religion you believe is best. But, on the other hand you are not allowed to codify your conscience or religious beliefs, i.e., you are not allowed to make your religion the law of the land. Why? Because, as I think you will agree, organized religion tends to confuse light with power and tends insofar to become not a light on a hill but a tyranny that wishes not to guide (with persuasion) but to control conscience–the very opposite of any representative system where the people are sovereign! Thus, in effect, and for very good philosophical and historical reasons, there is (immediately!) in the very first amendment the functional separation between Church and State. So, your stating that the language is not there and then leaving it at that misleads. Belief (conscience) is protected. But conversely no one’s conscience is allowed to take over the law books.
Now, it is the case–whether people know it or not, or have even thought about it–that the principles (Natural Law, or “self evident truths”) enumerated in the Constitution are not different than the principles (teachings) of the New Testament–at least as they are taught by Jesus of Nazareth. But the Founders used a neutral Natural Law (self evident truth) and not some religious canon to ground their architecture for a reason and those who say that the nation was founded upon Christian principles are right but only insofar as those are universal and apply to all people and all of the world’s religions. “Do unto others” is not Christian but belongs to all people and even Confucius taught the same thing. But the Founders could have used Christian language but chose consciously not to. That is extremely significant. Natural Law will not contradict sound Christian teachings, but Christian doctrine is functionally “separate” from the functioning of our day to day government. According to the very 1st amendment of the Constitution the two are in effect separated. And if that weren’t the case there would be hell to pay, eh? And you know enough about the nature of organized religions to know that to be the case and separation a necessity if we are not to have another Inquisition–and that right quick!
Jay Warren Clark
I believe Obama is an illegal president. We should simply arrest him and put him in jail.
Obama, Obama, Obama! Neither party has risen up against him! Do you not see and understand this? What good would it do to kick him out of the House and leave all the other devils, from both parties, inside to continue their collective mischief? Do you actually think that another party will fix things? Have you not looked at the bigger picture? The whole thing has been taken over. Both parties violate American principles on a daily basis! Did it escape your notice that there is no constitutional committee in the whole of Congress? They have functionally circumvented that long since. The Constitution is all about principles and light, but they follow another law, the law of greed and power. Wake up! Obama is one of the gang. They all have to go–and that includes all but one or two Republicans! The whole thing is a charade. JWC
my head is spinning from this pge full of diarea of the mouth. common core is a way of control. we lost this country when we wnt into iraq. we lost our country when obama got elected and lied and cheated through the poles. what matters is one man for himself. our liberty has ben stomped on and A LOT OF YOU HAVE DRANK THE COOL AIDE. IN THE NEXT 10-13 MONTHS , OUR COUTRY WILL BE A 3RD WORLD SESPOOL. FULL OF RACIST AND COMMUNIST. THE MUSLUMS WILL TAKE OVER LIKE THEY HAVE IN THE UK ,.THERE WILL BE BLOOD FLOWING DOWN THE GUTTERS OF MUSLUM BLOOD. THE UNITED NATIONS WILL BE PATROLING OUR STREETS. WE WILL BE THE SNIPERS. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
It occurs to me that instead of tolerating these mental midgets, both Democrat and Republican, lets start a revolution. A voters revolution! If your guy or gal in Washington isn’t doing the job for you, lets get out and get a recall going in every state. Think that will get their attention? They work for us, so lets hold them accountable. If you want to give in and let the government of the few,for the, and by the few, rule your life…how is that working out for you?
THE PEOPLES VOITING RIGHTS WILL SLOWLLY DRINDEL AWAY. THEY PASS GUN LAWS WITH OUT THE PUBLIC VOTE. THEY ARE GIVING ILLEGALS DRIVERS LINCESE WITH OUT THE PEOLES VOTE. ANY LAW, SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE TO VOTE.
In order to revolt, you need unity and a leader that unites, does not divide, has a vision for the new order and a reason – other than simple discontent.
Resolving a recall is a simple, but temporary fix. Unless you have a suitable replacement in mind, and solid support behind them, you are only left with a void, to be filled by an appointment until a new (expensive) election process can be mounted. The major winners in an election are the advertisers, marketing and stockholders of the media conglomerates that absorb those funds, usually diverting them to the opponent if it serves them well.
Before entering into any long term fix, you need a strategy, a plan, a vision … at the moment, revolution is a concept, a dream, but without the unifying vision, the result would simply be chaos, and the winner would very likely be worse than the current situation.
Beware of what you seek. Change was what was promised, but no details for what it would entail. Change is indeed occurring, and not what many would prefer to see or tolerate. Discord and dissension are being sown, along with division, designed to fracture. There are people willing to step in and resolve the revolt, within the government, many agencies have become well equipped, armed, and trained to manage rebellion if it comes to that.
Enough rounds to kill each citizen multiple times. What was witnessed in Boston is a small sample of what is able to be accomplished in the major cities. What happens in the small towns is inconsequential to the general order, supplies can simply stop going there and eventually the problem will resolve itself.
Strategy and domination have been worked to an art form by many of the elite. Some losses are to be tolerated, and dissent can be deflected to other preferred targets. Witness the lemmings who have been fed lies and agitated privately, and on command, based upon the outcome of some ‘national’ local news story, certain planned actions take place. Others escalate, all because of disinformation, half truths or outright lies.
The funny thing is I was watching a 90’s flashbacks on Vh-1 and they had a brief segment on Clinton. There was one speech he made that he said “change is coming” but wouldn’t say any more when questioned. Guess now we know… There was also a group in the 90’s called the Christian Coalition that was warning everyone that the government was trying and going to eroded our rights along with the constitution away. They were dismissed as as bunch of loons… well…guess they weren’t huh!?
I’ve been concerned about the stuff the media, along with our govt. has been teaching our kids post 9/11. So, it’s imperative we adults go out of our way to teach them what true Democracy and Freedom is. We can start by teaching them how gerry mandering keeps bad congress-people in office and explaining to them the definition of a “police state”. The patriotic values as always, will have to be taught in the home and yes, we as adults, must attend PTA/ PTO meetings to let our teachers know what we want taught to our kids.
I’M IN THE GREAT STATE OF CALIFORNIA. YAH , I KNOW. YOU GOT TO LIVE HERE BEFORE YOU TRASH IT.
THE SCHOOLS ARE NOT LIKE WHAT A LOT OF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. MY KIDS KNOW ABOUT THE CONSTITUITON AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS. THEY KNOW ABOUT COMMUNIUM AND WHAT A POLICE STATE IS. I GO TO THE PTA MEETINGS AND MAKE MY VOICES HEARD. I’VE INSISTED ALONG WITH EVERY PTA PARENT ABOUT THE IMPORATANCE OF TEACHING OUR KISDS THE REAL US HISTORY AND THE BATTLE OUR FORFATHERS HAD TO SUBCOME TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY A FREE LAND. CA. MAY HAVE DEMS FOR POLITICIANS, BUT WE HAVE A LOT MORE CONSERVATIVES THAN LEBERALS.
There is nothing you can do about this. But you CAN save the copy of the Constitution that YOU have. (You DO have copy, don’t you?) Hang on to the copy you have so that when the dust settles, we can start up our own country.
Abortion & many laws go against the constitution. Lots of positive changes need to take place. i was enslaved 25 years ago. No one in America should be forced in a contract that takes away their rights to reject a contract & give the party who set it up deceptively back what they forced on you that goes against your relationship with God.
1st: In our State, the school boards are all elected officials, from the State level to the county and city. Get out and vote! Attend the meetings.
2nd: Why is it that it is always the President and the administration that is to blame? What about the senator and congress members who have been on the hill for decades? Orin Hatch has been there for 37 years!!!
The comment about the communist agenda should spark some consideration when you think about the time it takes to accomplish the mentioned acts. It takes time to infiltrate and change the basic foundations of a peoples thinking. It takes time to evaluate the success of said actions and to adjust and re attack. Instead of ranting and raving here on the web, why not get out and vote, locally. Pay attention to the people you are sending to be in charge. It doesn’t matter which party you are in or affiliate with, none of them truly have your needs at heart. God won’t save you. The government won’t save you. Only your attention and diligence will save you.
3rd: the framers of the constitution created it in such a manner that it could be changes to reflect the needs and wishes of the ever changing country. It is made to be changed and has been many times. It is up to each and every one of us “We the People” to ensure that changes are made for the right reason, by the right people. Write to your senators and congress members. They write and enact the laws and are the only, I repeat, the only people who can make a change to the constitution. Not the President. Not the secretary if whatever, No Chief Justice or federal judge can change the constitution. Only the senate and congress have that power…and we have the power of the vote.
Your response is correct and now we all see the results of the Great Society introduced in 1965 under L B Johnson – America is now almost down the tubes.
You are correct; however, the State Legislatures can also propose amendments to the Constitution, not just Congress. The authority to amend the Constitution of the United States is derived from Article V of the Constitution. The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States).

I hate to inform everyone of this but there is a reason that our elected officials seem to change when they go to Washington. It takes lots of money to be elected and re-elected and that money has strings attached. Our government is run by a very loosely organized group, the DEEP STATE that is made up of the financial elite, the political elite, corporate leaders, the Federal Reserve and the people that manage the bureaucracy. The appointed officials and advisers come from the DEEP STATE. They run the country for their own profit. The Democratic Party is owned by them and the Clintons are card carrying members. A lot of the Republicans have strings attached. This new movement toward populist thinking has them very upset with Donald Trump being a nominee for President. They own the Media and have put all their force into making unappealing and disliked. They still can’t get rid of him. They are afraid he will eliminate or modify a lot of their honey pots like the Departments of Education, Homeland Security and others that get in the way of people’s livelihood and job creation. He knows that the Federal Government has gained power that belongs to the states and that should change. Trump knows these DEEP STATE people and has been part of them. He knows how they work and how to deal with them. If you have wondered why Trump is so disliked, you now know why.
LETS JUST TELL IT LIKE IT IS obama is nothing more than a talking head, his wife has more to say about changing the constitution than any original thought he has. this is all the doing of those running the world bank and the federal reserve banks. and we all know whom these thugs are. here is a hint, they are not Christians
Your absolutely right but what does being a christian have anything to do with it? Why does the root of all evil (religion) always get thrown into the mix.
I’m of a mindset to CHANGE from what is to what should be as it was .I must be at the end of an era. Having graduated from high school 1957…….
Smoky – Yes, we’re at the end of an era (I got out of high school in 1961). I believe we are the majority of the problem!
We grew up hearing about WWII; we believed in patriotism; we knew the meaning of working hard to provide for our families (we saw our parents doing that everyday); we learned about personal responsibility.
We went out and did all those things. We achieved the success our parents had hoped would be ours. But, at what price?
We spent so much of our lives on our careers, or our jobs, making life good for our children and giving them even more opportunities than we had; that we didn’t spend enough time teaching them how those ‘things’ were achieved.
They learned to expect all the good things in life; but, they didn’t learn how to work to achieve them. WE created an ‘entitlement’ generation. Now, our children are raising kids of their own and are giving the next generation even less of the lessons they need to to be responsible, independent, self-sufficient Individuals.
Our country is paying the price. Our people have lost the character that made this country great.
It now falls to our generation to do, as grandparents, what we did not do as parents. Sit with your grandkids (or, any other young people you know and can advise) and teach them the lessons that they have missed from their parents, their schools, and their everyday experiences in life.
Remember all the things we learned from our own grandparents – now is the time to pass this ‘wisdom’ on to those who will be available to right this ship that we allowed to founder on the political rocks.
It is Hell of a thing we have done!
All according to the goals of the Communist Party USA.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
Do you get the IDEA?
special election?How can it be accomplished?
We cant afford 2 more years.Suggestions for
Obama replacement?Each of us take the respond-
sibility to flood the social media stressing content and importance of US constitution.

A slight error in the above explanation – actually, it was the slaves who were “slaving over” things, rather than their Founding Father owners, during the constitutional convention. We ought to keep our metaphors as real as possible.
Yep…..and my ancestor was bought from a debtors prison in Europe…..came to the colonies as a slave…..worked in the fields……fought in our revolution…earned his freedom….not bad for a white guy!!!!
The whole slave thing is getting realy old and played out
I have grandchildren in middle school and high school, and I can attest to the fact that they are NOT being taught the American or state history I learned in school. They know almost nothing about the Contitution. Awhile back I asked 10 middle schoolers who the governor of our state was. None of them knew. Not only that none knew the name of our town’s mayor. Whatever happened to the teaching of civics in school ? The only thing the schools are interested in is giving tests so they can get more money from the Federal Government. A whole generation of undereducated kids is being turned out.
I agree….My cousin’s wife teaches 3rd grade and she said they don’t even teach Social Studies any more either. Very sad!
It’s dumbing down of our future population. Get rid of the OWO figure head obama who bends to their power grab and lies to Americans. It will come down to a battle soon because the only people remembering what it feels like to be “FREE” are Vietnam Vets and some military of decades of service. Our children remember better times, but unless we teach our grandkids abt the Greatness of our Nation, they will not know. Go to used book stores and purchase American History books, American Government books, anything relating to our Country’s beginnings and foundations. Teach your children yourself, make it a game so they look forward to that time of learning abt their country. It will take each of us to keep our Country’s traditions and histories alive for generations to come. But most of all – unseat those in Congress who refuse to defend our Nation from the usurpers of the American way…including this fraud shameing our presidency. True, the “cancer” was already in our government when he came, but he metastisized it into our whole country. He is the poison running through this Nation’s arteries and he must be stopped by any method available. A time for level thinking and plans is at hand…apparently by many of the comments on this blog. I so agree. DO NOT LET OUR NATION SLIP THROUGH OUR FINGERS especially by an unknown fraud who is a composite created to fool the dumbed down American public. Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me. I’m done with this govt and it’s disregard for our Americsn Citizens. SCREW THIS FED GOVT AND THE CHARLATAN/CHARLATANS RUNNING IT! We are done with them!
History lessons are supposed to be a neutral presentation of what has happened in our past. The U.S. Constitution, in its current form, is the law of the land, and should be taught as such. The classroom is no place to be pushing a political agenda. I can only imagine the outcry from the liberals if some teacher dared to suggest to his or her class that our government should actually follow our Constitution. Far too many young people coming out of our public school system don’t know history, don’t understand the laws of cause and effect, and don’t have the critical thinking skills needed to sort through information they are given to arrive at reasonable conclusions. It is time to get the federal government out of the business of educating our children, and return control to the parents.
You say give control of schools to the parents. OK let’s say, only as an example, you live in Texas and your child is getting a good education. Now you get transferred to California and the parents there think different from the parents in Texas. So now your child is told to forget everything they learned from those “evil ignorant conservative parents” and you child is force to believe in the “new enlightened parents” way. In essense, you could have parents of different states, school districts and cities all coming up with their own “Parent’s Rule”.
As a kid during WWII, we moved a lot. I went to 16 different schools from grade 1 through 12. Every school was different, I was either ahead or behind at the next school. Thus I got behind and ended up graduating a year behind. Would you be proud to have your child go through that “parent rule”?
Responding to your question “Is toying with the Constitution and other essential American documents troubling to you?” my answer is DEFINITELY YES! – and I meant to shout! But, what can I do about it? I am retired now at age 71. I vote in every election, I write and call my senators and representatives OFTEN. (Get standard answer letters – maybe – in return.) I serve on several community boards and attend local city council meetings, etc. I do everything but send money (which I don’t have.) And yet, nothing seems to change from what Washington wants. And with Obama being the great leader he is, with a divided and locked Congress, he is doing it the illegal way – with his pen and phone… Our sheeple baaa’s are just that to him and those in control. The Republicans are doing their best to destroy the party by in-fighting and the Democrats are impossible to work with their give-away approach to problem solving…
Toyed with…? NEVER! Oaths taken, are just that OATHES!
Failure to perform an oath… SHAMEFUL!/CRIMINAL! TOO many examples of “FAILURES”! THE TIME HAS COME TO ‘SPLAIN IT, SO ALL KNOW IT! PLEASE REVIEW : the CONVENTION OF STATES WEBSITE. LEARN & ADVOCATE! THANKS JK
I was shocked to discover that in the local high school the Constitutional Bill of Rights is now taught in the last semester of 12th grade. And it was brushed over very quickly, The superintendent looked at me like I was from another planet when I objected to the unreasonable random drug tests imposed on my daughter because she wanted to be in Chorus. He didn’t know the 4th and 14th Amendments.
This no surprise. The way to change a country is to start with putting the politicians in your pocket, slowly control the military, make law enforcement believe the enemy are the citizens and teach the children how you want them to think. It’s not a fast take over, but its effective and lasting. You don’t need poles or elections after it starts, just time and blind citizenship that fails to see it coming. A citizenship that wants “change”. Well, those that wanted “change” have gotten it. This is the U.S. today. It’s sad to say what was, is gone forever. We are laughed at and ignored by other countries. Where once we were great, we are slipping into mediocrity. As long as our youth can text and play on there phones life is great for them. They have no idea what is being lost.
Ultra-Liberal Academia have been brain-washing college students since the 60’s with the ultra liberal, progressive, socialist ideals to build their base. Now they want to start at a younger age to orientate young students that do not make it to college
I am a woman World War 11 veteran. I love the USA
and certainly do not approve of any changes to the
CONSTITUTION , I certainly do not like the common
core math either. Any school that allows the teaching
of it is harming our children.
It isoutrageous that this is going on. The current government oficial should be taken out tothe front lawn of the White House and hung in public for treason. Our fou ding fathers would not appreciate what this cou try is comi g to be and it goes totally against all they stood for. What happened to “Give me liberty or give me death”? This xo czlled eduction should be stopped imediztely and the real history and the importance of the documents and actio s of our forefathers needs to be taught the way it really happened and we shojld not let big government chz ge it to what ever thier pleasure would be. Truly treasonous behavior.
We are truly facing a crisis in this country and the most disturbing part of the entire mess is that hitler tried it not more than 70 years ago. Down through history it’s been tried over and over by persons bent on ruling the world. What is the matter with people, don’t they believe what history teaches us? Well, Obama, is going to try it now, what are we going to do about it just sit around with our thumb up our burro and watch it happen. Speaking for myself, I believe this needs to be stopped before it’s too late. That doesn’t mean waiting for a couple of years to vote on the subject, that means taking action now… Contact your senator and congressman, make your voice heard, or live on your knees with your head bowed!
Our Country is truly in crisis! Our founding fathers believed in Gods precepts and laws, thus the Constitution was written. Americans have been asleep at the wheel as govt has covertly and subtly taken away our rights one after another. Does any of these events really come as a surprise to any of us? If so, it shouldn’t! The America we once knew and loved is no more. We need to enjoy what freedom we now have and pray that God will protect and care for us when our world is suddenly and unexpectantly turned upside down in the not to distant future. I believe the Bible refers to it as “The End Times”
And common core math is atrocious. As far as I’m concerned “common core” is intended to dumbdown America.
