Second-Graders To Be Taught Collectivist Propaganda Under New Common Core Lesson Plan
Second-Graders To Be Taught Collectivist Propaganda Under New Common Core Lesson Plan…
A textbook company contracted to produce materials under the Common Core State Standards is trying to teach students as young as second grade about economic fairness by praising unions, protests and labor leader Cesar Chavez, according to an education watchdog group.
Zaner-Bloser, which is based in Columbus, Ohio, is distributing a lesson plan aimed at teaching second-graders about “equality” by highlighting labor issues, according to Education Action Group Foundation, a non-partisan organization that looks to promote education reform.
As part of the plan, students spend a week reading “Harvesting Hope,” a book about Chavez written by children’s author Kathleen Krull, and then discuss what the lesson plan calls “scales of fairness,” which compare the living conditions of farm workers to that of land owners.
“Fairness and equality exist when the scales are balanced,” teachers are prompted to instruct the students. They are then supposed to ask the students whether both sides, as presented in the plan, are equal, providing a correct answer of “no” in the teachers’ guides.
Wild Thing's comment.............
Please don't forget that Common Core is a combined effort between Bill Gates and not so conservative Jeb Bush.
"We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone"
-Pink Floyd
Anytime we "nationalize" something, it leaves the door open for an agenda.That is what scares me about "Common Core". The same people who are in academia and journalism are the same ones that are producing this crap. We, as Conservatives, have failed to gain the upper hand in academia and we (The United States) are paying dearly.

It's going to be up to parents and grandparents to teach today's children about what America really is and what she was founded upon. If we fail in that task, our nation will be lost in 30 years.
