'We at EAGnews recently purchased a series of teaching
guides that an untold number of American schools are using – or will
soon begin using – to teach the new Common Core national standards in
math and English.
The guides were produced by the Zaner-Bloser company. We wanted to
examine these teaching materials to get a better idea about the values
and ideological perspectives that school children will be influenced by.
These values and ideologies will have a long term impact – good or
bad – on the way the upcoming generation of Americans thinks and
believes.
We looked at guides designed to teach literature and writing skills
to students in grades one through six. The guides feature different
texts promoted and approved by Common Core experts, and they include
week-long lessons for each text.
This guide is for 4th grade teachers, and it contains texts and lessons that have the common theme of “Meeting Challenges.”
This particular lesson is based on a book called “The Jacket.” The
Zaner-Bloser folks obviously consider this an important book because
they designed a two-week lesson plan for it.
The story centers around a young white boy named Phil who wrongly
accuses an African-American student of stealing his brother’s jacket.
It’s a fun little book about racism and white privilege – a
left-wing concept that teaches African Americans the values of American
society are designed to benefit white people.'
FLASHBACK: Freedom's Just Another Word For ... Wealthy, White Men?
'The nation’s
premiere voting rights museum—the National Voting Rights Museum—now sits
at the foot of the bridge [in Selma, Alabama]. The museum is an
inadvertent monument to the civil rights movement’s degeneration. Its
outlook is neatly captured in ten words that begin its timeline display
of the civil rights movement. There, we find a replica of John
Trumball’s iconic depiction of the signing of the Declaration of
Independence with the caption, “1776. The Declaration of Independence
signed by wealthy white men.”
The original civil rights giants would never have tolerated this historically false assertion. They were patriots, driven by love for their fellow countrymen and a burning desire to make America a better place for all its citizens. They repeatedly and vehemently rejected hatred. But the nasty caption captures the bitter spirit of much of the civil rights movement today and of numerous race-based activist groups around the country.'
