The curriculum was primarily the three R's with American history and civics lessons thrown in. Teachers were not in unions. By the mid to late 70's the liberals had moved in and it has been a downward spiral since. Kids can't read, write, or do math. History has been revised from an American viewpoint to a "world view" of America with a tilt to the negative. Teachers view themselves as builders of a new and better society with your kids as their clay. Parents viewpoints are not welcome. Get your kids out of the public school system and into private, charter, or home schools where you can control what they are taught.

Corrupt liberal school boards and school officials committing voting fraud and misusing public time and equipment etc.Talk about something we don't all know.

I should have said I am not tech aware. I am part of the 60+ crowd that needs the grandkids to set up the dvd or cell phone etc. Steve Sun, 15 May 2011 17:36:47 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/smotley/2011/05/12/fcc-process-reform-should-be-about-reducing-fcc-power/#IDComment152379526 http://biggovernment.com/smotley/2011/05/12/fcc-process-reform-should-be-about-reducing-fcc-power/#IDComment151516636 Obama is going to use the full force of the FCC to create and distort a broadband system that allows him to connect with anyone and everyone who will support his agendas. Unless conservatives break from the normal mode of individualism and unite in the common cause to push him from office in 2012, he will have won. When tech aware college students are hammered via internet, tweet, facebook, etc, etc. with his false messages, they will vote in numbers that have never been seen before. Conservatives are by nature individualists. They tend to themselves and expect the same from others. We need to fight the new enemy of America with the same methods they are using. "Network" out to all conservatives regardless of minor differences. This battle is too important to lose.

You are either wealthy enough to be unaffected by his crap or designated impoverished enough to have him give you someone else's money. Those are the only two options.

For God's sake let us all focus on his removal from office in 2012.

The feds have no interest in the common man's safety problems and local cops will never get to you in time to do anything but take a report. Besides, they will be busy protecting themselves.

I am concerned that not enough will take the actions you suggest and the mass of voters that will be created from the public school anti Christian and anti Constitution group will end up using our system of elections to overwhelm and control us. I will never give up the fight!

When it sounds wrong, call the school, the teacher, the district, and the school board on it. This is a top down attack on America. Our kids and grandkids brains are being washed by intent. School boards and school districts create the agendas, teachers use it and add their own bias on top of it. The only way to change this is to create different expectations by confrontation.

There is nothing to it and if push comes to shove and we make a big issue of it, they will cram it down our throats in 2012. Lets focus on his total incompetency and get him gone.
