A friend sent a copy to me of the current assignment in Social
Studies for her Seventh Grade son. Since the truancy people have
threatened her if he doesn’t go to school, he has simply been instructed
to face the back of the classroom and ignore the instruction.
However,
that solution is problematic, and what we are seeing is a program of
enforced indoctrination.
Hitler arranged the educational system to propagandize the Nazi
philosophy, and dwell on certain aspects of the German culture. He did
not instill a foreign culture into the minds of the children. What
country would even consider doing such?
The student’s previous historical education included California
history, primarily the early Spanish portion with the Missions and
Spanish settlement; Ancient history centered on the Mediterranean Sea
(Byzantine Empire, Romans, etc.), and the Rise of Islam (current
studies). No America history, no European history, no government
studies.
So, before we look into just what is currently being studied, let’s
think a bit about the near future. The students who have taught very
little of our own history, but have been indoctrinated (I can’t think of
a better word) in Spanish settlement of California, and Islam’s role in
the world, including how badly the White Europeans treated them, will
leave them with a foundation of culture that excludes that which they
were born into, believing that their roots are from a Spanish and Muslim
heritage.
