it needs to be re-read again...

Which is a shame, because it's not the fault of the students for the lack of education available due to their place of birth.

some people are smart liberals who have suffered through the system, but are all the more liberal because of it.

I homeschooled for a few years and had a hard time finding real science books. (and history too, but the English probably because they adhered to the ridged rules of grammar were pretty good, as were a couple of math titles, none of the good ones were Abekka or bj)

But in one history book, it said Queen Victoria was the best monarch England had ever had.... because she handed out bibles to everyone.... I mean, seriously

That fossils could be created in short periods of time because of a salt encrusted felt hat in the style of a century earlier found in a ... wait for it ... salt mine. Never mind the actual science of how fossils form.

Winston Salem NC used to have a homeschool convention around Memorial Day. I encourage everyone to get your hands on a copy or two of these things.... scary and hilarious at the same time. Like watching a 1950s B sci fy flick

Not one cent of taxpayer money should be spent on this nonsense though.

In charter schools?

pretty standard really.

Several years ago, I was out canvassing for Governor Strickland, former Ohio democratic governor. One man who appeared in his early to late eighties informed me that he was a democrat and his children would always be democrats. I asked why and he informed me that duriing the depression for a long time he and other members of his family did not have meat and then they could afford it again after Roosevelt was elected.
Sounds pretty bad to me.
Have you guys heard of the Harlan County War? Have you heard of the starving children and the mine operators who beat those who tried to feed them , labeling them as communists?
Sounds bad to me?
How about you??

asked the class how many you believe the FDR was a great man. I knew it was going to be a long four years when I was the only person who raised his hand.

Synopsis: The true story of one of the most contentious labor disputes of the 1970s is the basis for this made-for-cable drama. In 1973, many of the men of Harlan County, Kentucky, were employed by Brookside Mining, who operated a number of coal mines. Brookside paid its employees meager wages for dangerous, backbreaking work, and also controlled housing and retail sales in the area, boarding its workers in shacks without central heating or indoor plumbing, and selling them food and clothing at inflated prices. ...

just before I was born, thanks to his job. But even he said that things were really bad for most people.

It started with Ronny so its longer and greater Bobby .

Otherwise, we're accepting the argument that crazyheads like this actually speak for Jesus.

I wonder if they think that Jesus was taking the one third who died on the way, or just helping along the 2 thirds who got to live out their lives in misery and despair?

It's a pity the Federal Government cannot institute a forcible "trail of tears" to march the victims of this kind of "education" to the land of truth. The children whose minds are horribly warped by these lies and distortions -- but especially the parents who inculcate them and the book publishers who disseminate the lies.

(I wonder if there math claims 2+2=5?)

My dad's family did better than most because my grandfather was able to keep his job. My mother lost her father just before the crash. Her mother was left to raise two children by herself. They had some very tough times.

eom

And you are right.... those who know no better will accept it.... Right along with the fact that tax cuts for the wealthy will create jobs...

eom

eom

I didn't get the teaching job because the deacon board didn't like that I wasn't Baptist. The dept. head of the English dept., the principal, and the pastor all wanted to hire me so I could spearhead an AP English program, but the deacons were upset that I was Eastern Orthodox Christian and not Baptist. In going through the many interviews, I got to look at the textbooks--they were hands-down the worst I've ever seen in all my years of teaching.

was so poor, if he got an orange for Christmas he considered himself lucky. I hate repukes with the red hot intensity of a thousand suns.

repukes can go to fucking HELL

had a button collection, re-cycled all clothes and made into cloths for other family members.. My Grandfather could fix almost anything....

I was raised by a depression-era survivor and a WWII survivor - talk about a double whammy - these were people who didn't just THINK bad things could happen, they KNEW they could - yes I was raised very frugally and I have kept those habits all my life....it served me well because I came out of the recession so much better off than many people

I suppose you have a nice garden?

I live in an apartment the size of a shoebox

and cucumbers... on a small lot...

due to lack of healthcare in the Depression.

for health care....


If you think clipping coupons is fun for buying canned soup and salad dressing, imagine how “fun” it will be when that’s how Medicare works.

That’s what Paul Ryan’s Medicare vouchers would mean for future seniors: instead of guaranteed health care, seniors would get a coupon. And if private insurance costs thousands of dollars more than the coupon is worth, well, then those seniors will be out of luck.

Medicare is supposed to provide health care, not coupons: sign our petition today to stop Paul Ryan’s Medicare vouchers!

The biggest mistake we could make right now is assuming this could never happen – that Ryan’s voucher plan is so extreme, it would never pass.

But then why has almost every Republican in Congress voted for Ryan's Medicare vouchers? Why was Ryan himself on the GOP presidential ticket? Voucherizing Medicare is now the go-to Republican answer to every self-inflicted budget crisis that comes up!

PLEASE ADD YOUR NAME: Tell Republicans to drop Paul Ryan’s voucher scheme once and for all!

Thank you for speaking out,

is the idea that God actually WANTED all the horrible things to happen...slavery, the Trail of Tears, child labor, the Great Depression, and probably Matthew Shepard getting nailed to that fence(although I think they hold off on that one 'til middle school).

Therefore(this argument holds)anyone who opposed or opposes ANY of the above is "against God".

Which was basically the theological viewpoint held by absolute monarchs in 10th Century Europe.

any longer...

nt

has fucking lost it.

I loved when my grandmother told me the story of her pet dinosaur

Makes sense from a rapture perspective, at least.

That one also has lots of secular counterparts, mostly wacky Alex Jones-style stuff. It's not hard pointing out the connections between religious and secular nuttery.
