TheBlazeTV does CSCOPE

 Glenn Beck devoted his entire television program to an expose on CSCOPE today.

First up, David Barton explains the origins of CSCOPE in the Texas Textbook wars of 3-4 years ago:



HIGHLIGHTS:

• Since SBOE monitors curriculum, they call CSCOPE 'instructional material.'

• Teaching globalism, not American Exceptionalism.

• Taking out: Nathan Hale, Liberty Bell, Christopher Columbus' faith.

• Replacing with: Respect and fairness, Dolores Huerta.

• Replacing George Washington with Kay Bailey Hutchinson (yeah, wrap your mind around that one!)

• Emphasis on Contemporary over History.

• Refused to teach abundance alongside scarcity: "The other members considered all resources scarce."

Next, two teachers talk about CSCOPE from the Inside:



HIGHLIGHTS:

• CSCOPE sets up a system where educrats control everything.

• Shocked by the mediocrity of the content.

• Teachers are constantly monitored by educrats.

• Teachers have been fired for speaking out to school boards.

• "There's tremendous coercion."

Finally, Texas Senator Dan Patrick, chair of the Senate Education committee updates the state of play in his committee's ongoing investigation of CSCOPE:



HIGHLIGHTS:

• Talks about the runaround he's gotten: CSCOPE formed the shell company to hide everything.

• "We don't have the votes" to shut down CSCOPE.

• Apple will probably put CSCOPE out of business.

Dolores Huerta, Lech Walesa, and Barack Obama's Messed Up Priorities

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness in this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12

It takes a real piece of work to simultaneously honor a communist subversive and insult a hero of the Eastern European resistance.  Right on cue, here's Barack Obama.  This incident reveals too much about Barack Obama's core values to let it pass without comment.

Who are Dolores Huerta and Lech Walesa?!?

Dolores Huerta is a Communist.  While it's unclear if she was ever a paid agent of Moscow, the depth of her commitment to revolutionary Marxism is not.  In the 1980's, when the Nicaraguan Freedom Fighters confronted Moscow's Bloodthirsty Sandinistas, Dolores Huerta chose Moscow.  Dolores Huerta has praised Hugo Chavez, a dictator who has systematically impoverished and enslaved his people.  Ditto Fidel Castro.  Dolores Huerta has been a friend of Godless Tyranny for Decades.

Lech Walesa led the Polish Solidarity movement at a time when doing so led to torture or worse.  Unlike Dolores Huerta, a coward who only promoted tyranny behind the protection of the United States Constitution, Lech Walesa courageously stood for liberty behind the Iron Curtain.  Lech Walesa's courage inspired the Pope and Reagan.  In describing Lech Walesa, Ronald Reagan said it best:

You don't get a much clearer contrast than Dolores Huerta and Lech Walesa; that Barack Obama chose to honor one and insult the other tells you everything you need to know about Barack Obama.
