Oh my….the children of the villagers are approaching with pitchforks and torches. Do you think they resent efforts by their tea bagging school board to instill in them believes that the earth is flat and only 6,500 years old, or that woman was created from man's rib, or that Columbus "discovered" the new world because God intended for the Spanards to civilize the heathens?
Also, Jesus rode a dinosaur, though their "bible" fails to mention precisely which species. Must have got lost, along with those passages about not lying, cheating, stealing, killing, bearing false witness, and the requirement to tend to the sick, the poor and the suffering.
I noticed that my old high school, Arvada Senior High wasn't mentioned on that list with the other schools. They were lined up protesting on all four sides of the intersection of Wadsworth and 66th Avenue throughout the day. All in all I was proud to see such a strong response from teachers and students today, and my car horn got quite a workout!
It is too late for the JeffCo School Board. These students have already been indoctrinated with Liberal Nazi/Socialist propaganda. They have learned the anti-American technique of the walk-out and will soon move to heavier abuse such as joining a union.
Obviously a more thorough revision of the school curriculum is needed – by the time they reach AP History they've already learned to think for themselves too much.
God forbid!
Well, that explains why so many kiddies from Green Mountain High School were all over the sides of West Alameda a few hours ago. They do need some sign-painting lessons though. When I drove by twice, the signs couldn't really be read.
Let's lower the voting age! It seems to be quite the thing… and it makes a certain amount of sense.
www. fairvote.org. We saw that Scotland had quite the turn out, as well. Many of our kids are harder to propagandize.
Peaceful civil disobedience in action because they want to learn about the history of civil disobedience and become well-rounded citizens, and not tea-bagger-droids.
I am so proud of these young adults!
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it's ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
— Bob Dylan
Yes, indeed!
Not to miss one of our hippy Boomer memes: the kids are all right.
it is ironic that the School Board's attempt to censor information about subjects such as popular uprisings against things like Vietnam or Civil Rights has actually caused that very thing to happen – a public uprising.
in Solidarity with the students and those who teach history so that we may not repeat it
Proud of all the students and parents who are keeping this in the news and bringing attention to how important largely low profile school board elections really are. Thanks to their efforts maybe next time, more people will pay attention.
We must be forever vigilent when it comes to our children's education…the wingers have no qualms about forcing their indoctrination upon our kids…We, in Delta County, have our own winger board…and we are watching, and being, vigilent…
Political satire can be a powerful weapon to expose truth. Checkout #JeffCoSchoolBoardHistory. My favorites so far:
Upton Sinclair's The Jungle is a great American story of capitalism and savory meat products. #JeffCoSchoolBoardHistory
The humpback whale was brought back from extinction thanks to Capt. James T. Kirk, a good Iowa boy. #jeffcoschoolboardhistory
The student protests made the NY TImes.
What is the "AP" history refered to in news stories, by BM Williams?
agree it could ( & should) alienate Jeffco ind voters
If you're asking what AP History is, it's Advanced Placement History, a US History course for advanced students that follows state/local curriculum guidelines, but with an extra set of guidelines developed nationally in order to simulate the level of learning one might get from a History 101 course in college. At the end of the course, students may take an AP History exam, which is scored on a 5-point scale. Colleges may accept the test results as credit for a history course (or perhaps even more than one course if the grade is high enough and the college's curriculum supports such an award).
Generally, AP History tackles US History as a history scholar might – by reviewing period (and after-the-fact) documents and evaluating their worth in creating a true narrative of history. Is the source a witness to the event? What bias does the source have? How does that bias possibly skew the portrayal of the event? How does it fit in with other documents of the event? What might the overall narrative be?
So AP History teaches you to be wary of biased news sources, encourages you to look for multiple viewpoints and evaluate each honestly and separately, and encourages you to look at things through the lens of truth. Not generally something under which today's conservatives look good.
The "AP" is for "Advanced Placement," a program managed by the College Board (who also manages the SAT). The course is followed by a test that many colleges accept for credit and placement (say, skipping the first required history course for general ed).
Ms. Williams on the Jeffco board beleive that the College Board is "breaking history" for resasons outlined in another article on this site.
Second best again. Sigh.
Nah – just second fastest. 🙂
How would shrink & drown (Govt) in a bathtub be tought? There are no "young Repulicans" since Rove, Norquist, Reed went to school, not to be educated, but tear down government. Teach them that a trillion dollars in student loan debt is their future due to banksters and austerity driven tea bangers. Too broke to buy houses or cars; further examples of the wheels coming off
Bob Dylan, "look out kid,they keep it all hid."
#JeffcoSchoolBoardHistory on twitter – still the funniest stuff around.
So true!
Two of my favorites:
"Christopher Columbus discovered America when he sailed over on Noah's ark."
"Roe v Wade was about the best way to cross a river."
