Colorado students protest against conservative


Posted: Sep 26, 2014

Apparently the school board decided to institute a revisionist form of history books and the KIDS are protesting.  Seems the teachers are not too happy with this school board either. 

"They waved signs declaring, “It’s world history, not white history,” and talked about Cesar Chavez and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Leaders of the walkout urged others to stay out of the streets and not to curse, and sympathetic parents brought poster board, magic markers and bottles of water."

 

Well, I suppose if they are going to make the education worthless, the education they are obtaining from "real life" activities such as protesting, making decisions about right and wrong and following through with their convictions could be an extremely worthwhile substitute. 

 

 

The history book rewrite reminds me of Stalinist Russia where they would just take the books and put different people in the pictures and rewrite the history accordingly.

AZ Students Protest Removal Of Mexican/American History ClassesApr 28, 2011
At the left is the video: TUCSON -- Rowdy students take over a big Tucson school board meeting in protest. It's a pretty wild scene -- and it's all over a Mexican-American studies class, a class that teaches history from a Mexican-American perspective. Here's what's going on. The governing board of the Tucson Unified School District was supposed to consider a plan that would make the class an elective, rather than a required class, like it is now. A state law passed in ...

So Sad In ColoradoJul 20, 2012
What a sad day for many in Colorado.  You go to see a movie you have been waiting anxiously to come out and someone goes psycho and kills a bunch of people.  They said he bought a ticket and then propped the emergency exit door open to get his guns and bring them back in.  Aren't those emergency exits suppose to have alarms that go off when opened?  This whole things is just so senseless!  My heart goes out to those many families that are now suffering.  ...

Colorado Supermax Town To Obama: KeepNov 13, 2015
Islamic terrorists have no scruples about slaughtering schoolchildren and that's what worries the residents of Florence, Colorado, when they hear the president talk about transferring up to 61 Gitmo prisoners to the Supermax prison in their small town. It should also concern the prison towns in Kansas and South Carolina that the administration is considering as terrorist depositories. In recent years, Muslim radicals have taken two schools hostage, causing the deaths of 318 schoolchildre ...

They didn't even know why they were there, spewed a bunch of nonsense.   Pro-life women not welcome, which made the real agenda even more obvious.
