Just Asking

The people who closed off public roads leading to public parks and memorials; the people who shut down privately owned and operated businesses because they were leasing space from the government; and the people who closed off over a thousand square miles of the Atlantic Ocean did so because they wanted to throw a temper tantrum.

The same people who refuse to talk to anyone with a different opinion unless the other party gives in to them before the conversation.

Believe it's a good idea to be involved in your health care

So tell me...why is this a good idea?

Not in my day

A student in Bryant School District in Arkansas brought home a worksheet that presented her with a scenario that referred to the Bill of Rights as “outdated” and that as part of a special committee she would need to throw out two of the Amendments.

The worksheet was handed out to Sixth grade students in a History class. According to the girl’s mother the young lady had not received any government or civics classes and this was the first assignment dealing with the Constitution or Bill of Rights.

 The reference to this education atrocity noted that the school district used the controversial Common Core curriculum. Common Core is an educational philosophy that pushes political liberalism, centralized government, minimizes family importance and denies any place for religion in an individuals life. 

Families need to be aware of what the younger generation is being taught in school and respond if those values conflict with their family beliefs. In Pennsylvania a few weeks a go a father was arrested for asking, at a public meeting, questions about the Common Core studies program in his kids school. All he did was ask a question, apparently without causing a scene, and was detained and charged with disorderly conduct and assaulting a police officer.

A peaceful question about a public policy was encouraged in my day, but apparently "those in authority" in today's world cannot abide anyone questioning their decisions.
