Dont think your kids are being indoctrinated? Just walk though a typical public school here in Texas, read some of their home work sometime, look at some of the "projects" they are assigned to do, listen to some of the things being said by their teachers, read a few text books sometime.
I was on patrol last night and went to check a couple of alarms on one elementry school and one high school in a city where there are about 60 different facility locations. In the elementry school, EVERYTHING was in spanish. Had I not known the words for men and bathrooms in spanish I wouldnt have been able to use the restroom while I was there. There were displays on the walls through out the school about diversity. Just one little thing was missing...I didnt see anything about American History or American Icons! At the highschool, after disarming the alram, since it was a slow night, I picked some papers up that were obviously essay type work regarding students opinions of illegal immigration. I was shocked on a few counts. First off it looked like something written by a 3rd grader from a english, grammer, punctuation and writing stand point. Never would have guessed a high schooler wrote it!!! After reading about a dozen of them and almost puking in the process, I couldnt believe the crap I was reading. There are no words in the english language that can begin to discribe the travisty I saw.
On another note, I have had long talks with my nephew and his sister who just graduated high school. I was stunned that she will be spending her first year of college taking remedial courses in math and english before she can even begin taking freshman level college courses of instruction. My nephew was about as ignorant on the amendments to the constitution and why they were made and what they were supposed to achieve as one could possibly be. I dont know what kids are supposed to accomplish in high school but one thing is for sure its obviously not an education!
I was considering getting my certification renewed and going back into teaching, but there is no way I could survive in that career field no matter how open minded I am. If I am going to be a teacher, I want to teach not program!!!
