American school children brainwashed

[cambaby]

So let me get this straight a teacher organized this protest and encouraged the children to participate? Arent their laws against this kind of brain washing in America?

About 15 sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders held signs with slogans such as "Muslims are people too"

Science
Mathematics
Literacy
Arts and Crafts
History
Music
These are subjects that are SUPPOSED to be taught in schools.

Instead Americas schools these days seem to push "Tolerance class" and "Political Correctness Class"

Holy fuck! Are you retarded? How many threads are you going to start in which you CHANGE THE FACTS? Read the article:

A Florida pastor's plan to burn copies of the Quran ? originally scheduled for Saturday , the anniversary of the 2001 World Trade Center attacks ? has been the subject of heated debate around the country, across the globe and in classrooms of a Northeast Baltimore school.

A group of students from City Neighbors Charter School gathered on Belair Road at Glenmore Avenue early Friday morning to protest in favor of tolerance. They shouted and waved signs urging drivers to hit their horns to support religious freedom ? and motorists obliged.

"It was really good to see some Americans still want this to be America, a freedom-filled country," said Molli McKinney, a 12-year-old eighth-grader who helped organize the protest.
About 15 sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders held signs with slogans such as "Muslims are people too" and "Honk for Religious Freedom" from 7:30 a.m. until just before their first class began at 8:15 a.m.

"This is trying to show that Americans don't all stand with Reverend [Terry] Jones," said City Neighbors social studies teacher Peter French.

The theme of his class this year is "dangerous ideas." As the students debated whether a Muslim center should be built near the World Trade Center site in New York, the Quran-burning controversy arose.

Motivated by the uproar, several children met at lunch to make signs for the protest. They also wrote a letter to Jones, urging him to cancel his event. They faxed the letter, with 82 student and parent signatures, to the minister Friday after their protest.

"We are all against burning the Quran because we think it's disrespectful," said eighth-grader and protest organizer Lucy Bull, 13.

Leaders of Muslim and other religious communities in Maryland also spoke out about the Quran burning.

Anwer Hasan, a board member of the Maryland Muslim Council and a former Howard County Muslim Council president, said Jones' actions could be misinterpreted abroad. "People here understand that he has only 50 people in support," he said. "But somebody 10,000 miles away has no idea and thinks it's the whole American society."

By contrast, Irfan Malik, a Howard County businessman and Muslim community leader, had worries closer to home. He said he and other Muslims fear that the Jones incident could be the start of a renewed trend toward intolerance of Muslims in the United States.

The protest was organized by children with the help of parents. The only mention of a teacher in the entire article was simply his opinion of the protest. You are fucking stupid.

Wouldn't teaching about equal rights (part of our US History/Civics) in turn be teaching about tolerance and acceptance? That has been taught in school for years. Would you rather teach hate and violence?

"Muslims are people too"

Obviously this is a lie. I can't believe the lies the schools teach these days.

Aside from the first few years of primary education in which your are taught the necessities of reading, writing, and arithmetic all you're being taught is to take orders, be complacent in the fact that you have to sit and do as you're told all day, and to believe a history and way of life that has been rewritten over and over again to suit the needs of the society you live within. After 12 years of schooling outside the staple education, all you have done is been molded into the content worker you are expected to be. To go forth and work a 9-5, so you can make more money, and buy more shit, because that's apparently what makes the world go round. Anyone with half a brain could learn and smash out the high-school curriculum in a couple years tops. What you're learning is to sit there and take it. Indoctrination of the masses indeed...
