Socialists ban school books that question climate change
 

Oregon school board bans books that question climate change - Washington Times

"The Portland Public Schools board unanimously approved a resolution this week that bans textbooks and other teaching materials that deny climate change exists or cast doubt on whether humans are to blame."

Hey everybody, lets get together for a book burning. The Climate Nazis are at it again.

Now, that is a good reason to burn books that one faction does not agree with, right?

The agenda for today's progressives isn't truth, its power and it fools its members with talk of social justice and equality which they follow through with absurd remedies

Progressives enforce their agenda through coercive methods using legal means and shaming people via the courts , media, Hollywood. They undermine our democracy and reject the rule of law. Their moral relativist theme misleads them such as all minorities are oppressed, capitalist are only greedy, climate change deniers ought to be charged under the RICO act . Indeed if people do not fight back progressives will be goose stepping in the streets not long from now.

It is predicted that Republican dissatisfied with the Republican Party and those Democrats dissatisfied with the progressives will join to form a new third party

Personal Best Regards:

I read the article. Who suggested burning books?

I did. Censure free thought and you might as well burn the books. Isn't that what the Nazis did? Same as Obama's AG trying to charge so-called "hate speech." It's a trend today with the radical left to gain more power. The more "rights" they take away, the less freedom American citizens have.

They are picking out science textbooks. I have never met a teacher that doesn't encourage students to do additional outside reading including Inhoffe's book. The Nazi's forbade reading banned books.

This is silly you know all this.

Law against hate speech enacted, but...

The only hate speech news stories I can find are from Japan.

Why shouldn`t sicence be subject to the rules of PC and Thought Control ?

Because that would make it science fiction, very old science fiction at that.

There are libraries available that have these books probably even these school libraries.

Students should be able to research and think for themselves.

Did they do this where you went to grade school, Junior HS, High School? Mine not so much and this was 1970-1976 or so.

I wouldn't know what they did in school in the 70's. I graduated from HS in the 60's, served in Vietnam and then got married, so public school was NOT an issue at that time.

Now, instead of history studies, they push "social studies" where they teach motives instead of facts, by changing/bending historical facts to accommodate social engineering.

I am surprised that they have not banned KFC commercials yet, since they have the Col. Sanders figure that could be construed as a Confederate figure.

It's been going on for a long time...

In 10 years, he'll be a black col sanders.

Dat be "Masta Sargent Sanders" foo....

Yup...Americas future...I weep...you gave it to "them"...and they will destroy it.

To answer everyone's questions teachers gave out research assignments, position papers and term papers since before you all went to school. Students went to libraries, used the Readers Guide to Periodical literature and microfiche machines before cd data basses were used. It probably wasn't assigned very often, if at all in the lower level classes.

What questions? Weren't we discussing the ban on books that questioned climate change?

In the not too distant future most likely during the upcoming reign of " Her Highness " the Left will believe that they have technology that can read the private thoughts of the citizenry .

At this point it will be a Federal Hate Crime to harbor any type of anti-PC thought . The " readings " of the machine which they will employ will be accepted as the only necessary evidence to convict one of harboring such thoughts .
The prisons will soon become very full so the concept of a " Penal Colony " will be implemented . In this case it will be the State which is considered to be the least desirable to live in . All " good " citizens from the new Penal Colony State will be resettled .

Is this before or after The Village buildout?

Since the Majority of residents here in The Villages regardless of their actual political affiliation are holding onto old fashioned values and beliefs they will not pass the test of the " PC Machine ".

Consequently they will be resettled in the new Penal Colony which I am given to believe will be in the area which is currently known as North Dakota . :posting:

By old values do you mean "love thy neighbor" or are you adding a couple of unlesses in there about race, color and creed. What's old is new again.

They don't like the cold country...that's why they'll let us keep ND.

Why not? Haven't we proven by now that diversity hasn't worked? We've never been lower in world rankings than we are now, and we're going lower every year. Why? Because minorities are the majority from age 6 down. Their numbers have been steadily growing, while our world ranking has been slowly falling.

The end of everything as we know it is nigh...

Show me the rankings.

I am referring to ideas such as self-responsibility , working hard to support your family , saving for your retirement , taking care of your property , believing that the world does not owe you a thing ,
family , volunteering and not expecting Gvt to " do it ". ETC

You know silly old fashioned values . To believe in such concepts and not believe in the contrary is not consistent with " PC Thinking ".

Do you think we are becoming a third world country based on these lists?

This is a pretty interesting and surprising list of rankings.

wow--you used the phrase "Readers Guide to Periodical literature" which brought me back 50 years to doing research in an actual library--thanks

I know. In high school I had to take a bus to the big city library.

You would find a half dozen articles to support your argument, write them on a slip of paper, hand it to the research assistant who gathered the ones they had. Then some of the time the story you wanted was torn out because that was before copiers and sometimes the article had nothing to do with your thesis statement. Now the world is at everyone's fingertips. And for all you know I could be a twelve year old living in Qatar.

all that in our lifetime

When we start comparing ourselves with other countries instead of their attempting to emulate us, then we know we are changing too much into just another socialist system. I have lived in other countries and spent a major portion of my life overseas and have never lived in a better country than America and have never wanted anything from another country other than those that had less crime because they had ENFORCEMENT. I do not CARE about lists when it comes to other countries. These lists are submitted by liberal statisticians that are always looking on the "other side of the fence." We don't receive Foreign aid from any other country, they receive it from us. We don't try to break into their countries, they want to live in ours. But ,this won't last long....thanks to Anti-American liberals.

Another Anti-American Book of Comparisons worth looking into.

I think that the point is, who cares what other countries do, rate, or how they compare? Why should we be like them, when we are the best according to OUR criteria? Some other country has socialized health care, and we don't. Great for them, but we have less waiting times, cleaner facilities, more doctors, better technology, etc. Our education may not be as highly rated, but that is our choice. It is not as if we don't have the material available. It has to do with our discipline. If you believe that social issues are more important than morals, laws, safety, ethics, etc. then other countries are going to have better education. Don't blame the kids, blame the parents and the liberals for giving a free pass to anyone rather than holding them accountable.

This is our country and we should NOT compare ourselves to others. Why lower ourselves to their level?

I agree, blame the parents. Half of the parents are conservative, is that true? Most teachers are liberal minded. Being open minded, looking out for others and a willingness to serve the community is part of their makeup. Lowering the bar makes teaching easier with far less interference from parents or administrators but it's not right or healthy for students over the long run.

Kind of difficult to blame conservatives on a bad education. You liberals like to equate a "free mind" to being open minded and the ability to see the "big picture." Conservatives know that a so-called "free mind" for children is the same as being simple minded. Teachers are not allowed to discipline or maintain order in the classroom because of the liberal mentality, not because of anything that conservatives have done. Parents allow the teachers to make their choices for them, but in many cases have no say in how their kids are taught. Liberals are getting their way and when they fail, they blame it on conservatives. Just like the Obamacare failure. They blame it on conservatives for not supporting them, not sharing the responsibility for the health care disaster.

I was agreeing with the person who also blames the parents.

He didn't say he blames only the liberal parents, did he?

What a crock. How would you like your kids to be disciplined? Stop blaming teachers for your kids failures. You are the problem. Free public schooling. Largest social program in the country. There are school boards made up of liberal and conservatives alike. Blame them. How many of you conservatives blame your liberal kids on yourself? How many of you use school as free day care? There are plenty of military schools to send your kids. I blame parents for not making their schools better.

I sent three of my four children to private schools, so that they WOULD have discipline and that it would be required of others so that my children would receive a better education. They did. My youngest graduated second in her class at age 16 and graduated with honors at age 20 from the university. Her daughter is 15 years old and will have a two year college degree when she graduates from high school, because she is piggybacking college classes along with her high school schedule. On top of that, she is active in school and national sports.

It's not the conservatives that are ruining the education system. It's liberals, liberal ideals, unions and the lack of authority that teachers have to lead their classes. Parents have little to do with that, but they have a responsibility to discipline their children. Liberals do not believe in discipline and won't. Conservatives will but have their hands tied behind their backs by liberal laws.

So, don't try to share the blame on the conservatives. You liberals OWN it. The decline in education is totally the left's fault.

And just how do you think the kids became liberals? From years of indoctrination in public schools and the real brain washing comes in college. your liberal Union knows they have friend in the democrat, so there political interests (money) greased the dirty politician for unionized votes in the districts.

Three fold front, union to get Union matters passed ( raises, 100% unfunded retirement, free health care ECT.) teach the kids to be good little liberals to vote democrat to support the program, and for higher education grants and studies.

This system been in place for at least 40 years and now paying off big. Along with the uncontrolled illegals and lax voting identification and rules the table has turned all for entitlements. I blame the public school system and college all ran by liberals to keep the agenda going. Parents don't have clue what's going on.

I also have to laugh when you say conservatives are on school boards. Anybody knows that republician or conservative teacher will never advance and will probably be systematically rooted out.
