Hope Ya'll are Ready for this.

All education is relevant; however, parental involvement is key in the development of a child. My kids attend one of the best schools in our state, it so happens this school is 90% African American and I can tell you they focus on black historical figures far more than white, I don’t think they are doing my white kids an injustice, I merely feel my boys are learning from a different angle and I can input and teach as much as I feel necessary to encourage them to study and discover other truths on their own, it’s called HIS STORY for a reason, everybody has a story of their own, respecting each other is the key to progressive knowledge and a progressive society.

I believe in Darwin’s evolution of the species, however, until somebody can prove to me which came first, the chicken or the egg, I will continue to believe that GOD created that which all evolution sprang from.

I understand teaching that the violence approved by and supported under Malcolm X and the Black Panther’s could help our children understand why there were so many violent images that have been used over and over again to show how badly we treated blacks, to continue the victim without cause is a true injustice, it helps to understand that not all blacks followed the passive MLK Jr..

In no way do I feel they are doing a disservice to the blessed Thomas Jefferson who said “I have swore upon the alter of GOD eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man” and this summer they will build across the tidal basin the LARGEST statue ever erected for any figure in the national monument area, that of Martin Luther King Jr. at 30 + feet tall it will be 10 feet taller that any other statue figure in the national monument area. Children will always be taught that Thomas Jefferson was one of the most important contributors’ of the Declaration of Independence, and you can bet as a Bush State, they will keep him close. Note God in his quote above.

As for Sociology, it’s about damn time they start teaching “the importance of personal responsibility for life choices” DUH……. that’s all one can say about that.

I love how somebody will label you a social conservative if you do not drink the kool-aid their selling but yet don’t want to tell you what the ingredients are in their own poison. A Little learning is a dangerous thing….. I say learn from every angle, it doesn’t sound as though they are cutting off their noses, just maybe trying to clean out the snot noses of everyone who seems to whine about why it can’t be only their way.

I don’t think that’s what they are doing here. If it were true social conservatism, they would not talk of individual choice at all; it would be closed books, closed legs, closed minds. I’m sure we will here more of this as there is 30 days of public comment. I do believe if these changes are that objectionable by the public it will not be tolerated in our schools. I know I read my kids text books, how bout you all? It would not be the first time I had to go to the school and fight the system and I still Thank God for this great country.
