Marxism and Humanism are the predominant philosophies of America's education establishment, yet every day we send the public schools our most precious gift, our children, to be "educated."

Our schools are filled with sex education, political correctness, environmental extremism, global unity, diversity training (pro-gay indoctrination), and "higher-order thinking skills" boldly claiming that, in order to become a higher order thinker, one must first believe absolutely that there are no absolutes!

I fucking hate antiintellectualism.

Sorry roger.

Yeah, no problem.  The problem I have is with that Forsooth jackass, who decided to continue it.

There's nothing quite like having an enjoyable thread mangled by the equivalent of the average game store low-functioning geek.

Hey, hey, i'm an above average game store low-functioning geek

You have shown no evidence of that, jackass.

Of course, this means Discordianism is Marxism.

On the other hand, well, we already knew that.

I am reliably informed that atheism is a form of paganism.

And that secularism is atheism.

Therefore, teaching kids the constitution = paganism.

It's pretty obvious, really.

I keep reading about this movement to teach the constitution as the Wholly Infallible Ever-Awesome to counteract the heretical teachings of "changing interpretations over time," "active participation in democracy," and "social justice." So basically they're cool with Constitution Worship, just not secular Constitutionalism.

GOD BLESS AMERICA (seriously...you couldn't script this shit if you tried)!

Unless parents take a stand, Wisconsin students and students in most states will be required to analyze the changes made to the Constitution over time, to find a flaw in the Constitution, and to write their own amendments to the Constitution. This is setting the stage for teaching children that the Constitution is flawed and must be replaced, a goal of many professors including Sanford Levinson, author of Constitutional Faith. That author stated in a Q and A interview that the cover of his book represents the Constitution's tombstone.

Why can't you just let them worship the Constitution as they do the Bible? Freedom of Religion and all that.

Our schools are filled with violence, arson, murder, extortion, rape, unwanted pregnancy, [...] disrespect, foul language and jaywalking. Test scores have been declining for decades as the numbers of children who cannot read continue to increase.

Or was that just me?

I'm wondering how jaywalking is possible in a school, now that you've mentioned it, or how it warrants being lumped in with arson and murder.

I was also going to say I don't think arson and murder happen, but then I remembered we occasionally have school shootings.

You can't arson a school. Most of them are windowless cinderblock atrocities, like jails.

I was fortunate enough to go to school before they put cameras in the restrooms. People used to squirt lighter fluid in the trash cans, which were always full of paper towels, drop a match and mosey on to where they were going. A few minutes later the alarms would go off and we'd all get to go stand outside for a half hour. It was awesome. 

The school never burned down. It couldn't.
