So This Fucking Moron Is On The School Board In Colorado

[Heywood]

Do you really want George Bush controlling the nations curriculum? I certainly do not want Obama.

And I sure as fuck don't want a dickhead like you controlling it, Woodie.

I don't want you controlling either. I don't want anybody who is as dumb and hateful as you ever having that much power. Asshole like you are the reason I want the power to be held in small local governments. Then pricks like you can only do so much damage.

[FatAndFaithless]

Rawr, feisty.

[Autumnlicious]

Let see, on one side we have an old-as-dirt historian who can compose factually backed narratives using Civil War battles. On the other we have someone shrieking about the other side being hateful, but not offering even one factually backed analysis within the context of this thread.

I think Minimalist has made a convincing argument.

Heywood, as usual, is lacking.

[Minimalist]

Woodie is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with America.

Way too many assholes walking around loose.

I don't feel compelled to hate anybody right now
I do feel compelled to make sure our educators are themselves, educated --and teaching approved curriculum. Its important that the truth of a situation be known, and to not have dissention and here say coming from administrators, when history is already been written a hundred fold, and curriculum is federally unified for a reason.

Do you really want George Bush controlling the nations curriculum? I certainly do not want Obama. Whether you like or not...some body or some party you don't like is going to be in charge for 8, 12, 20 years. The nice thing about having local school boards deciding the curriculum is an entire nation's generation of youth can't be brainwashed because some whack jobs managed to get in power. Local school boards deciding the curriculum spread out the damage that can be done.

I'm pretty sure the educational system of the United States, IS in the hands of the state and local educational departments already.

Legislation, regulations, guidance, and other policy documents can be found here for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, No Child Left Behind, and other topics.

Please note that in the U.S., the federal role in education is limited. Because of the Tenth Amendment, most education policy is decided at the state and local levels. So, if you have a question about a policy or issue, you may want to check with the relevant organization in your state or school district.

Otherwise, how do you explain to me that I was not taught about evolution --at all--nor did I ever hear about the Vatican's underground Nazi railroad out of Italy, or hear the speeches given by Hitler himself regarding his god given prejudices against Jews?

“Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.” –Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow my self to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows . For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people." –Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)

“The best characterization is provided by the product of this religious education, the Jew himself. His life is only of this world, and his spirit is inwardly as alien to true Christianity as his nature two thousand years previous was to the great founder of the new doctrine. Of course, the latter made no secret of his attitude toward the Jewish people, and when necessary he even took the whip to drive from the temple of the Lord this adversary of all humanity, who then as always saw in religion nothing but an instrument for his business existence. In return, Christ was nailed to the cross, while our present- day party Christians debase themselves to begging for Jewish votes at elections and later try to arrange political swindles with atheistic Jewish parties-- and this against their own nation.”–Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

“We were convinced that the people needs and requires this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out.” -Adolf Hitler, in a speech in Berlin on 24 Oct. 1933

Hitler, Franco and Mussolini were given VETO power over whom the pope could appoint as a bishop in Germany, Spain and Italy. In turn they surtaxed the Catholics and gave the money to the Vatican. Hitler wrote a speech in which he talks about this alliance, this is an excerpt: “The fact that the Vatican is concluding a treaty with the new Germany means the acknowledgement of the National Socialist state by the Catholic Church. This treaty shows the whole world clearly and unequivocally that the assertion that National Socialism [Nazism] is hostile to religion is a lie.” Adolf Hitler, 22 July 1933, writing to the Nazi Party

Many times Hitler addressed the church and promised that Germany would implement its teachings: “The National Socialist State professes its allegiance to positive Christianity. It will be its honest endeavor to protect both the great Christian Confessions in their rights, to secure them from interference with their doctrines (Lehren), and in their duties to constitute a harmony with the views and the exigencies of the State of today.” –Adolf Hitler, on 26 June 1934, to Catholic bishops to assure them that he would take action against the new pagan propaganda

“By helping to raise man above the level of bestial vegetation, faith contributes in reality to the securing and safeguarding of his existence. Take away from present-day mankind its education-based, religious- dogmatic principles-- or, practically speaking, ethical-moral principles-- by abolishing this religious education, but without replacing it by an equivalent, and the result will be a grave shock to the foundations of their existence.” – Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

"Around 1937, when Hitler heard that at the instigation of the party and the SS vast numbers of his followers had left the church because it was obstinately opposing his plans, he nevertheless ordered his chief associates, above all Goering and Gobbels, to remain members of the church. He too would remain a member of the Catholic Church, he said, although he had no real attachment to it. And in fact he remained in the church until his suicide." (Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer page 95-96)

Seriously, what are you afraid of here? Obama not leaving children behind???? He's been in power coming on 8 years and all he has done to the educational system, is made sure your creed can't infringe upon others' rights to not believe as you do. He lets you guys do whatever you want based on local credence, and as a result the majority of Americans are retarded in World History, Science, and pretty much everything else in relation to the rest of the world, because it's embarrassing and damning, to Christianity.
As a result, I never got a proper education. I was robbed, a proper education. Thank you Kansas. Thank you, George Bush, and thank you ignorant small town school boards.

[1][2] Nearly every scientific society, representing hundreds of thousands of scientists, has issued statements rejecting intelligent design[2] and a petition supporting the teaching of evolutionary biology was endorsed by 72 US Nobel Prize winners.[3] Additionally, US courts have ruled in favor of teaching evolution in science classrooms, and against teaching creationism, in numerous cases such as Edwards v. Aguillard, Hendren v. Campbell, McLean v. Arkansas and Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District.

The U.S. National Academy of Sciences has stated that intelligent design "and other claims of supernatural intervention in the origin of life" are not science because they cannot be tested by experiment, do not generate any predictions, and propose no new hypotheses of their own.[33] In September 2005, 38 Nobel laureates issued a statement saying "Intelligent design is fundamentally unscientific; it cannot be tested as scientific theory because its central conclusion is based on belief in the intervention of a supernatural agent."[34] In October 2005, a coalition representing more than 70,000 Australian scientists and science teachers issued a statement saying "intelligent design is not science" and calling on "all schools not to teach Intelligent Design (ID) as science, because it fails to qualify on every count as a scientific theory".[35]

The American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world's largest general scientific society with more than 130,000 members and over 262 affiliated societies and academies of science including over 10 million individuals, has made several statements and issued several press releases in support of evolution.[22] The prestigious United States National Academy of Sciences, which provides science advice to the nation, has published several books supporting evolution and criticising creationism and intelligent design.[40][41]

Whatever roadwork got us to where we were in 2004 when I was in school LONG BEFORE President Obama took office (GW Bush etc), has got to be reversed. Unless you want to be a third world country in twenty years, people have got to learn real Science, and properly recorded History. It's crucial.

I guess you choose option B. Third world country
