I think everyone can agree that Civics education in America is suffering. Graduating students cannot answer basic questions on Civics. But there is a debate on how to improve Civics education for k-12 students.

The Left’s Burning Desire for Revenge
Every. Damned. Word. E.g.: “In other words, are you out of your ever-loving little minds? These people STOLE two elections – it’s now absolutely obvious the nominal right is fine with this. They hope for crumbs from their masters’ tables.”
So Dan, what say you when Government Teachers openly say they will indoctrinate their students against American Society?
and declare War on American Society as it now stands? And Hunter Dan (aka IWKAGGP aka Dan William, a Govt school music teacher) decided to leave the same comment on my Head Start post and on Steve’s The Left’s War on Education:
So I guess four weeks is the right span of time for the Grok’s 24/7 defense of the 2nd amendment. Now that Lanza’s massacre of our most precious commodity – our children – is past us, it’s time to restart our all-out assault on the nation’s great equalizer.
Right – Head Start has proven to be a failure of an educational program, but with $180 Billion spent since its inception, it has probably turned out to be a GREAT patronage employment scheme. Steve catches the Left in its own detrius – if it was REALLY for the children, teachers would be all over anything and receptive of anything that actually yielded better educational results for the children (regardless of it being private or public organization, regardless of who does the teaching (union or not), regardless of who owns the building, et al). Instead, any attempt in searching out better methods than the status quo are quickly demonized. It’s as if the Teachers Unions believe that they are absolutely entitled to all the K-12 education money (and Hunter Dan’s comments enforce this). So Dan, in defending the status quo model, must absolutely believe in the Occupy Oakland Teachers (and their demi-God and Obama’s BFF and former SDS / Weatherman / killer / American Society hater, “educator” Bill Ayers (emphasis mine, reformmated):
At least the teachers of Occupy Oakland are finally being honest about their political agenda. They’re openly calling for an all-out abolition of capitalism.
The Occupy Oakland Education Committee – comprised of public school teachers from the Oakland, California school district – has renamed its publication “ClassRoom Struggle” and its platform TEACH, which stands for “Transform Education, Abolish Capitalism and Heal.”
Finally the radical teachers have acknowledged what we’ve been saying all along: they want to end capitalism and replace it with a socialist economy, quite possibly enforced by a totalitarian form of government.
Blue collar Reality shows – paragons of capitalism. Listen to them over our President.
Anti-Collective, Anti-“we’re better together”, Anti-“you succeed only when we all succeed” (and all that other crapola) rant.
So Bill ayers wakes up, wishes to blow up capitalism, fails, goes to bed and then does it again the next day. I guess I’m complicit in his scheme – at least in part. Like Bill here, I am one of those that is helping to collapse part of the capitalist scheme – but only the part I don’t care for. I hardly evah watch the “old” networks – ABC, CBS, or NBC and it is showing in their downward ratings. Instead, its the reality programs. No, nothing like the Kardashians or the fashion shows. Instead, it’s the logging shows, the crabbing shows, trucking, fishing, gold mining and the like.
You know, the ones that actually love capitalism. They realize – no work, no pay. If they are sitting around, no money is getting into their pockets. Each one has to work on their own or in voluntary teams, to get the job done. They aren’t factory or ofice jobs where the pay is by the hour or the bi-weekly salary check. There’s no living off someone else’s sweat – it’s their sweat that determines success or failure. You have to salute the inventor shows, the Shark Tank shows where people keep after their dreams, hoping and praying that their time, talent, and hard work AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO DELAY INSTANT GRATIFICATION will finally pay off.
