Too Late To Apologize — Hard Rockin’ Founding Fathers Edition!
Saturday, February 6th, 2010When you find something as cool and entertaining, while at the same time educating as the above video, it warms the little heart’s cockles.
When you hear about insanity like a North Carolina academic officer proposing that American History be taught only from 1877 onward you want to bang your head against a wall, repeatedly — or maybe, bang her head against a wall, repeatedly would be more like it — metaphorically, of course.
“We are certainly not trying to go away from American history,” Rebecca Garland, the chief academic officer for North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, told Fox News. “What we are trying to do is figure out a way to teach it where students are connected to it, where they see the big idea, where they are able to make connections and draw relationships between parts of our history and the present day.”
As the North Carolina curriculum stands now, ninth-grade students take world history, 10th-graders study civics and economics and 11th-graders take U.S. history going back to the country’s founding.
Under the proposed change, the ninth-graders would take a course called global studies, focusing in part on issues such as the environment. The 10th grade still would study civics and economics, but 11th-graders would take U.S. history only from 1877 onward.
Glen Beck is right — the Left is truly trying to disengage our youth from the Founding Fathers and the principles and beliefs they brought to this great country — and it all begins in the public schools. So, you say, “What can I do?”
