Core of Destruction

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.--Abraham Lincoln.

 

America is under attack from within.

 

As often as we have including that wording in one of our blog posts, it has the feel of some kind of catch phrase.  Be advised it is not.  By design, no doubt strongly enhanced by the Cloward-Piven Strategy, the tentacles of attack are so numerous you would think you were in battle with an octopus.

 

The avenue of approach employed by the Obama administration and their progressive partners, inclusive of more than a handful of GOP members, on each tentacle, has the sting of a Man of War.

 

Fitting we mention the word war, as it is becoming apparent America is in a form of Civil War, only it is on the battlefield of ideology rather than dodging bullets on a vast parcel in western Kentucky.

 

Each of the avenues of attack are uniquely dangerous, and as Obama planned, transformative. 

 

Perhaps the most destructive is attack is one currently target bombing our education curriculum in the public school system.  This initiative is supported by heavy hitting Republicans and Democrats, inclusive of Mike Huckabee and Jeb Bush from the GOP to Bill Gates, Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers, former Intel CEO Craig Barrett and companies such as State Farm Insurance and Exxon-Mobil.

 

We did an extensive blog post, A Real Rotten Core, a year ago outlining how dangerous to our freedom and liberty the initiative is.  The Common Core Standards seek to transform the system of teaching. The basis presented to the public establishing the need for the new standards center on the ability to streamline educational efforts, standardizing curriculum standards across the nation and to give our students help in competing with students around the world enabling them a more prosperous future in competing in the global economy.

 

Cloaked inside that reasonable objective is extensive data mining of our children, which as presented is an invasion of privacy and in violation of the fourth amendment.  Common Core places student in a box, limiting their potential to advance beyond the scope of the designed curriculum, emphasizing globalism and social justice over individualism and free market capitalism.

 

At the core, pun intended, Common Core is much more about control of the citizenry and indoctrination of our youth than it is about building a more productive public school system.

 

In an article at The Corner, Stanley Kurtz examines a quiet but devastatingly effective effort to replace the teaching of traditional American history in our high schools with a new, centrally-controlled, and sharply left-leaning curriculum.  As Kurtz, whose reputation is concrete solid, reports, The College Board, who issues the SAT and various AP exams, has created elaborate new framework for he AP US History Exam, will effectively force nearly all American high schools, public and private, to transform the was they teach US History.

 

I got a news flash for you.  These folks are charter members of the blame America first crowd, thinking, like our President, that American prosperity was ill gotten through thievery and oppression.  Social justice, fairness and equality will the emphasis, contrary to the foundations and principles of our Constitutional Republic.

 

Think your child can sideswipe the changes?  False.  Prospective college students will be required to satisfactorily pass the SAT, which will be heavily based on the new framework.  Indoctrination.

 

Many states, risking the loss of heavy governmental funding, are backtracking from accepting the Common Core standards.  If the public really knew the nuts and bolts of Common Core, it would overwhelmingly be rejected.  Same with the US History framework Kurtz has warned us about.

 

This Tuesday, July 22, presents a golden opportunity for you to become more knowledgeable on this subject, and physically participate in helping defeat it. Glenn Beck will assemble a cast of interested parties, pro and con, for a lengthy interactive experience live from his studios in Las Colinas, Texas.

 

As Beck puts it, WE WILL NOT CONFORM is a chance for anyone who’s tired of sitting idly by as the federal government continues its takeover of our schools to come together and do something about it. Among the parties scheduled to participate are David Barton of WallBuilders, FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe and Michelle Malkin, who has been leading the charge in opposition of Common Core.  

 

Common Core can be defeated, but we need all hands on deck.  While it has supporters on both sides, it also has opponents on both sides.  Therefore, this provides an opportunity to find common ground with those who we are normally at odds with, which is integral in reversing the downward spiral our country is in.

 

Please make time to find a theater presentation in your neck of the woods and join us in fighting those who seek to limit our freedom and liberty.  WE WILL NOT CONFORM!
