TheParagon-Education

We used to teach world history, but now the progressives have had their way and world cultures is the vehicle under which students are taught that “all cultures are equal.” What? You mean the American culture is the same as a culture which chops off hands of those who steal? Is it the same as a culture that throws homosexuals off buildings to their deaths? Is it the same as a culture whose women must cover themselves from head-to-toe or risk beatings? Is it the same as a culture that beheads infidels? These seem like vastly different cultures to me, and they are definitely not equal.

In addition, the activities students are required to do regarding the study of Islam are pure indoctrination. Think about this. In 2018, a West Virginia 7th grader brought home a packet of assignments including writing the following in calligraphy style: “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.” This statement is actually the Islamic conversion creed. Creepy anyone? Here’s another activity included in the packet. Students were asked to “fast for 24 hours and give lunch money to a food bank to sympathize with Muslims going through Ramadan.” In addition, students had to read chapters from the Quran and learn the Five Pillars of Islam.

Indoctrination in science classes
So, we know social studies textbooks are slanted to the left and include clear evidence of propaganda, but what about science curricula? Anybody remember Al Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth? It premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and became a commercial success. In fact, it was so successful that it won two Academy Awards for best documentary feature and best original song. And, it made the former Vice President a millionaire. It also became must-watch viewing in science classes throughout the world.

Then, someone in the UK actually questioned the validity of some “facts” in the movie. Mr. Justice Burton, a High Court judge in Britain ruled that there were at least nine errors in the film and it could be shown in schools as long as it was accompanied by material giving the other side of the argument. Good for the UK! You see in the UK it’s against the law to discuss issues that are one-sided in schools. You must present all sides of an issue in accordance with sections 406 and 407 of the 1996 Education Act. Don’t you wish we had a similar law in the US?

US science textbooks only provide one side of the climate change debate, unfortunately. Last year I subbed in a 4th grade teacher’s classroom. For the science portion of the day, I was to read the section on global warming with students and have them complete a worksheet based on the section read. The teacher warned me about a new student she had whom she described as surly and argumentative. She said he would try to argue with me about the reality of global warming, and she further told me to “just shut him down.”

Does this sound like teaching to you? What would be wrong with listening to the student’s viewpoint? Why not have students do some research on both sides and then have an informed discussion and debate? My personal belief is that left wing teachers really do consider anyone who doesn’t believe in man made global warming to be climate deniers. And, since environmentalism is a type of religion to many of these lefties, to hear the other side of the argument is akin to heresy and must be halted.

Indoctrination in sex ed classes
Think indoctrination is only taking place in social studies and science classrooms? Very Unlikely. How about sex ed classes? Did you know that Planned Parenthood teaches sex education to approximately 220,000 students in 31 states? Here are some of the highlights of their education program. One of their videos is entitled “How Do You Know if Someone wants to Have Sex with You?” The video shows couples, both gay and straight, kissing passionately, some nude and in bed. Life News reports that “In one clip, a man is shown fondling a woman’s breast as the narrator talks about consent.” This is being shown in a classroom? Are you okay with this?

For middle school students, Planned Parenthood has a sex ed curriculum that teaches them how to perform oral and anal sex. This is beyond stunning!

Did you know that in 2014 an undercover video by a group called Live Action was released showing Planned Parenthood employees encouraging teens to participate in “sadomasochistic sexual activities like gagging, whipping, asphyxiation, shopping at sex stores and viewing pornography.”
Planned Parenthood also has a booklet for teens called “Healthy, Happy and Hot.” The booklet tells students it’s their right NOT to tell their partners that they have HIV. Since when is this okay? And, on its Tumbler page Planned Parenthood tells teens, “There’s nothing bad or unhealthy about having a big number of sexual partners.” Promiscuity anyone? STDs anyone? Pregnancy anyone?
