20963, who decides what's best to know
Posted by nahymsa, Thu Sep-14-00 11:47 AM
and what in society's best interest is?

a lot of what is taught in school is not really "factual". Decisions are made by "educators" many of whom have their own personal agendas...it ranges from what dictionaries are used to what textbooks are acceptable to the curriculm. We know for that information has been atlered & withheld to give a slant that is less favorable to non-white americans.

We have to do more than supliment what is currently taught, we have to a certain amount of control to bring balance. We pay for these schools, its our right to be able to send our kids to them with the knowledge that they will receive WHAT WE FEEL is a proper education.

It seems like everybody is so ready to believe that the schools teach what is best & that its up to the parents to fill in the blanks. Why can't the schools fill in the blanks, that's their job? And if our kids aren't being properly taught, its our responsibility to make the schools teach them or put them in a school that does. Why send you kid to a school where they teach lies or openly discriminate (how many of our boys are sent into special ed for the exact behavior that is excused in white children?) then talk about "well we'll fix it at the house". That's crazy.
