Gay studies for children

[Rim05]

I can only say it is good that I do not have school age children.

Second thought, why do parents sit by and not raise hell? They deserve what they get.

What's gone wrong with group identity history, is that once they get in the contributions of blacks, latinos, gays and women, there is no course time left for teaching what the real historical figures did.

I agree with you Kathy. It's so important to examine what is NOT being taught in our schools, they aren't even trying to teach some core subjects that were taught in the past.

Like what? I can think of one thing they used to teach that they don't teach any more, citizenship.

In some schools they aren't even teaching cursive to grade school children anymore, because school in Mexico don't often teach it, so it becomes a burden to teach it to older students who arrived from there. If not all the students know it, they can't teach using it.
Many parts of History are now eliminated and social studies is rare.

Just about everything Twoller. I have teenagers, and the crap they tell me makes me angry. I do look into many things and try to set things straight, but it's over whelming sometimes. It's not until one of the girls has a situation come up that they believe what I've been saying. Many of their friends say, my mom and dad think just like your mom! We are not alone, and we pick our battles.
At church our Pastor said that our DNA tells whether we are male or female and nothing can change that. What a concept and I needed to hear it. How simple it is!

It was just announced on ABC News that 13 states now do NOT require learning cursive in their schools. Every day we are losing the battle to teach our own citizens what was taught to us in the past. We are becoming less literate by the day.
