The tragic abuse & indoctrination of our children continues at tax payer expense. Reasons number 467, 468 & 469 to vote SCHOOL VOUCHERS.Augustine Romero, director of Tuscon Unified School District's ethnic-studies department, directs a "$2.6 million "ethnic studies" program heavy on 'race-based resentment' of white people, and romantic portrayals of mass murdering sociopath che guevara, and brutal dictator fidel castro.
In one of Romero's TUSD classrooms, in fact, a video posted for a time on the Internet Web site YouTube showed at least four separate posters of the beret-capped Ché decorating the classroom walls. And a poster of Pancho Villa. And, yes, one poster of the godfather of the revolution himself, Fidel.Quasi-marxist Romero offers the flimsiest of excuse for this abuse of children in this land of opportunity:
"With the ultraconservative orientation, people want to believe that if you offer a naive, simplistic, color-blind orientation, that's the only truth. "We transcend indoctrination because we offer multiple perspectives. It's a higher level of thinking."Sounds more like the embrace of indoctrination to acclimate children to the boot of totalitarianism. And get this; next year this maybe a required course!
But, wait. There's more: Tucson High School students taught America is 'the land of oppression; teachers persecuted and labeled 'racist' for not spouting 'PC' drivel; and Az. state superintendent thwarted at review of materials!
TUSD's Ethnic Studies program first became an issue last fall when Arizona's superintendent of public instruction, Tom Horne, asked the district about it. He requested the books and other teaching materials used in the program.Your tax dollars at work, people. TY JR!
They included texts titled Occupied America and The Pedagogy of Oppression. Another text, he said, "gloats over the difficulties our country is having at enforcing its immigration laws."
"Most of these students' parents or grandparents came to this country legally because it is the land of opportunity," he said. "They trust our public schools with their children. We should be teaching the students that this is the land of opportunity; they can achieve their ambitions if they work hard.
More disgust at Arizona govt. schools: Teacher worked for 6 months after teen-sex arrest.
A Florence Unified School District kindergarten teacher, Angela Csader, remained on the job for six months after she was arrested on suspicion of having sex with a 16-year-old, resigning only after the state notified the district, officials said. Charged with three counts of sexual conduct with a minor, she's been on supervised release and continued to go to her job at Anthem Elementary School until late January, when the Arizona Department of Education notified the district.What was that about 'supervised release'??! Un-frikken believable. Once again, the NEA goons put their union contract above the safety of your children. Your tax dollars at work, people.
The state Department of Education has an investigation section that deals with teachers facing criminal charges. But under state law, school districts are responsible for notifying the department, which then revokes the teacher's certification. To be certified as a teacher, state law requires a fingerprint clearance card issued by the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
But DPS officials said they don't notify schools if a fingerprint check pops up.
"There is no alert system where information about a teacher arrested would be forwarded," DPS spokesman Harold Sanders said.
I'll say it over & over again: If this horrible pattern of disfunction, mismanagement & abuse were to occur at a church, youth organization, or private school there would be such a media scream of condemnation and cry for retribution that would have any administrator, supporter, or financier associated with such private enterprise tarred, feathered and banished to the darkest margins of society, if not imprisoned.
Yet, we the people, bow down before the alter of the NEA & tax funded ‘public’ education that includes all, offends none, accepts everything, and only occasionally abuses or assaults our children, because we are an open minded, and ‘enlightened’ society.
I'll simply leave you with my broken record: VOTE SCHOOL VOUCHERS - VOTE SCHOOL CHOICE!
