Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What are the schools teaching in your area?

Evidently this is the most closely guarded secret in America today. In my county in Florida, the curriculum and course materials, textbooks and such, are not easily, or possibly not available at all online. Not at the State level either.
This morning, I have spoken to 4 different folks at the county level. Now I am waiting for. Supervisor to return my call. This search started over a week ago.
We often wonder why today’s kids are so susceptible so communism, and why they don’t seem to have any idea of real American history. At this point, I posit that it is because of what they are being exposed to in taxpayer funded government schools.

I have no idea Sam.

I work with our church's scout troop. They're aged 11 to 15. I've found that none of them, NONE, have any knowledge of history at all. No matter what historical event I mention, they don't have any idea what it is.

They stopped teaching much history many years ago.



And then it was largely dependent on the teacher.


History ought to be a largely elective pursuit.

A friend’s daughter that graduated with honors a couple of years ago couldn’t tell me which President George Washington was.

I don’t agree that history should be elective, it teaches context and is critical to understanding our place in the world.

Should be mandatory to graduate from high school along with Civics.

Okay.....if history is not to be an elective, who decides what and when to teach?


I can just see a whole semester argument on whether to call it the Civil War or the War of Northern Aggression.


Lets learn about Joe McCarthy class.............positive or negative?

I am with you on civics. Not much wiggle room there.

That want it to remain a secret so the parents don't interfere. They don't put the lesson plans under lock & key, but they don't make them easy to get. I know one guy that started digging and he met so much resistance that he just gave up and sent his kids to another school.

What are the schools teaching in your area? The same as in every other area.
Communism and socialism, with as much godlessness as they can.
the NEA is and has always been a communist front organization and they have taken over about 99% of the public school curriculum's, and yet the average parent is blissfully unaware of what is taught.
So their plan is working and working well.
If the parents continue to stay "too busy to care" and continue to pay the taxes to pay for the destruction of this nation, the nation will be destroyed. Today many are amazed that kids can believe the outright lies told to them by AOC ,Sanders, and Biden. Well guess what. They were taught in the public schools by "teachers" that YOU pay for to believe those things. Think the kids are stupid? Maybe, ------ but not as stupid as someone that didn't care enough to check into what their own kids were being taught.

In politics there is no such a thing as neutrality. There are only 2 kinds of people, people who care now and get involved, or people who care later when involvement is criminal and dangerous.
Those that don't get involved in politics are ALWAYS punished by being ruled by their inferiors. Plato was 100% correct.
So were out founders who said "All government derive their powers from the CONSENT of the governed"

So many today are now asking how could the kids of today be so deceived as to believe socialism by force (known everywhere as "communism" )is a better way.
Well guess what...............the kids were not deceived before you were.

Time to wake up and take control of the tax monies. Or bend over and accept what the Dem/Comms want for your future.
Now choose.

Has anyone else tried to find out the curriculum and textbooks used in your school district?

I retired from the public education system of a big, democrat-run city in 2011, so my experience is a little dated- - - - -but even back then, the school system had become a socialist, "progressive" indoctrination camp, not a place where students could learn to be independent thinkers or productive citizens. If a classroom teacher was interested in moving up into any higher level of employment such as assistant principal, or anywhere in the administrative chain of command, it was almost a requirement to be at least bisexual, if not overtly homosexual. Students were graduating without even the basic social skills such as the ability to fill out a job application, interview for a job, or balance a checkbook. Some of the things my trade education curriculum mandated me to teach was job interview and job application skills, and most of my students showed no interest whatsoever. The comment I got routinely was "Ain't nobody in my family gots no job- - - - -we gets a check! Workin' is fo' suckahs!" Some of those kids couldn't remember anyone in their immediate family that had ever worked for a living- - - -as far back as 2 or 3 generations in some cases!

History is still taught here in Alaska.


All meetings here in Alaska are subject to the open meetings act. Including the school board meetings and the curriculum meetings. They have to be posted before each meeting.

Nothing is in secret. Everything goes through a process. If you don’t know what it is, you haven’t been paying attention

The high school in my area is Americana oriented being in a Historic area. They have an active ROTC program and many of the parents and grandparents are members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, DAR, Civil War re-enactments, West Florida Republic designations, The Day The Civil War Stopped annual observance, etc.

Sam, I’d say this is so prevalent much due to our location and the fact that conservatism runs high here.

IMO it’s the best of the best of what Louisiana has to offer. Or of any other place for that matter.

They still teach it here too. And in the State College I attended.


Its an excellent opportunity to get kids started down a political path.



But yes......curriculums are not secret.

Only in a cursory manner.

The fact is that it takes too much time.
First off, you have to read the books the kids are using. That alone takes about as much time as the kids spend in school each day.
Then you have to get hold of the materials the teachers supplement their lessons with. A lot of that isn't planned very far in advance, so you have to stay on it all the time. Plus the teachers don't want to take the time & effort to get it to you even if it is innocent. If it's scandalous or at all controversial, to the left or right, they are loathe to give it to you and it would take a court order to get it.

The only group I'm aware of that has even a slight clue as to what's going on is Value Voters. They were able to get a few districts to comment on the presence of "Comprehensive Sexual Education" programs in their schools, promoted by Planned Parenthood.

Tyrone, you can also check their homework and spend quality time with the kids doing just that.

Hogwash!


Dave Ramsay says you should work 8 jobs and save all of it.


Aint nobody got time to talk to no kids!

That worked in kindergarten and up to maybe 2nd grade, but since then almost all the homework has been online. Unless they have difficulty with something, you never see it, you have no idea what they are doing.

Heh !

No argument there, Jim.
