Sharon's Outrageous
Anti-American Professors, Not so Rare Any More
Sharon Hughes
What is happening to our educational establishment? Once the finest
in the world, is it becoming a political platform to undermine
our liberty? Where are teachers coming up with such statements
such as Claudia of Minneapolis who said, "If I am forced to
teach about the pilgrims I will not!"
Revisionist history is not only relayed to our nation's children
in textbook form, often it is classroom instruction where the most
damage is done.
I received a letter from Renee Doyle, Founding President of EdWatch
www.edwatch.org, a great resource on the latest developments in
education, with a terrific team of researchers, some of whom I've
interviewed on the radio, such as Professor Allen Quist, author
of FedEd - The New Federal Curriculum and How It's Enforced, and
Michael Chapman, founder of American Heritage Research www.americanheritageresearch.com . Renee gives an unbelievable example of the undermining of our
American heritage in the minds of students from one of the college
classes she attended recently ...
"
One day a student led a debate on whether or not it was eithical
for Judge Roy Moore to place a granite statue of the Ten Commandments
in the Alabama courthouse rotunda. Our professor told the class
that a Christian placing the Ten Commandments in a public building
is the same as an Islamic terrorist placing a bomb in a public
building. As you can imagine, I was shocked at this statement.
The classroom was totally quiet as my hand went up. I told the
professor, 'Sir, there are many young, very impressionable people
in this classroom, and for them to leave here believing that the
Ten Commandments are analogous to a bomb that would take innocent
life is ridiculous.' You could have heard a pin drop as the professor
walked over to my desk, stood very close, and with controlled anger
said to me, 'People being forced to enter a courtroom through the
Ten Commandments is just as injurious as a bomb that would kill
them.' He then went on to tell that religious fanaticism killed
the Native Americans when Christians sent blankets to them infected
with small pox. He said that religious fanatics like Judge Roy
Moore burned the black churches in the south, etc., By the time
he was finished, I noticed many young men and women looking down
at their desks. It was totally silent until one young mother attending
school to be a nurse said, 'I had us.' She hated her European heritage,
she hated our Christian heritage, and she hated that she was an
American."
And we wonder why our educational standards are becoming increasingly
anti-American such as in the "We the People" civics curriculum?
Could it be that our schools are filled with more and more anti-American
professors who propagate their politcal worldview to young, impressionable
high school and college students, who then not only react like
the young mother mentioned in Renee's letter, but go on to readily
accept such teaching for their children?
Unesco, a major organ of the United Nations wrote in 1983, "Introduce
an international or global perspective in primary schools. .. to
be incorporated into, existing curricula, wherever possible." Sounds
harmless enough, unless accompanied with an anti-American, slant,
which is increasingly becoming the norm.
A major question being posed to Americans today is "Do you
want to be proud to be an American, or proud to be a world citizen?" Because
of America's strength, in order for her people to make the shift
to world citizenship there has to be a distancing of gratefulness
and loyalty to America.
What's the answer? For real Americans to rise up and speak up!
Apathy, passivity and procrastination are enemies as big as the
anti-American worldview espoused in our schools.
Ask yourself, if not me, who? If not now, when? The price of freedom
is still eternal vigilance. We are in a battle for the minds and
hearts of our children and the soul of our nation. If you're not
outraged, you're not paying attention.
