dtown223 12 Posted March 22, 2014 My son brought this garbage home with him from school, it's apparently being distributed by the "NJ bar foundation" as a supplement to teach children about the law. I'm not even sure how to proceed, I'm so totally infuriated. https://www.njsbf.org/images/content/1/1/11539/LegalEagleWinter2014.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pythagoras 2 Posted March 22, 2014 We used to get these in the Scotch Plains-Fanwood school district. Back in the early 2000s, this publication was where I first learned about the filibuster. I don't remember it being so slanted. Maybe I didn't notice because I was kid, or maybe it has gotten worse...I'm not sure. But that column is completely blatant propaganda.

Howard 538 Posted March 22, 2014 I love the part about the muskets. So basically what they are saying is citizens have the right to bear the exact same arms as the police and military - as that is what they had also. So, if they want to stick with that I think we should all be able to have fully automatic weapons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Underdog 1,593 Posted March 22, 2014 Can't they be charged with talking about guns in school? If it was me, I would send a copy to the Blaze and ask them to investigate this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimmyAGR 54 Posted March 22, 2014 Holy shit... Unbelievable, I would be there complaining to the principle and the board. What totally biased BS. I also loved the part about single shot muskets. So does that mean that they shouldn't be able to print this crap from a computer and should have to type set it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Njbanshee 9 Posted March 22, 2014 Those are some heavy topics for an 8th grader. How about the marijuana article? Legalizing marijuana article can give the impression its ok for them to try marijuana. I think the entire paper doesn't belong in the hands of an 8th grader.

Sig226GuyNJ 128 Posted March 23, 2014 The indoctrination of our children has been going on for quite some time now. The only difference is they are getting bolder at it. This is sickening to say the least. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SgtToadette 59 Posted March 23, 2014 I've begrudgingly gotten the title of resident liberal here, but this is seriously not okay. This is complete garbage. If you don't mind sharing, OP, what school is this? What class? Who makes the curriculum? This is unacceptable and needs to be confronted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silence Dogood 468 Posted March 23, 2014 This publication is provided free of charge (Goebbels would have been proud) and teachers simply sign up on the website for a free subscription. Do not ignore this - it's time to shine a big light on this, last time I saw such an infestation they scattered away under the cabinetry when the light came on.

Newtonian 453 Posted March 23, 2014 I wonder how many of you guys have kids, how old you are, and a hundred different other things about the demographics of this site. I'm going to be 60 in about 11 weeks. I have three children, all of whom are smarter than me in an absolute sense. But they're all brainwashed by the education establishment in ways that would take me 10,000 words to describe. They're IQ-endowed, but intellectual cripples, in my opinion. That is the saddest realization I've ever had. I know that when I die, they'll know their father was nutty. "Oh he was against (blah blah blah)." They will live in a dictatorship -- it's not too far away, and not even know it. Think: North Korea, in terms of the process of mind control. We'll be much better than that of course, but the process for getting everyone on board is identical. Schools don't teach shit. Nothing. Nada. A kid who grows up in the U.S. public school system knows about the same amount of important stuff as someone who sits at home watching TV. Even scientific education (I'm a chemist by training) has been watered down to the point of ridiculousness. My daughter is a 4.9 GP graduate of an elite public institution, math/Russian major. I still remember math that she can't even fathom, and my 40-year-old German is much better than her current Russian speaking ability. As my nephew explained to me a few weeks ago, "The purpose of education is not to teach you things, but to teach you how to learn." Haha. Epistemology? I didn't even broach the subject. My response: "Then why don't you know anything? What have you taught yourself, through this process of teaching to learn (but not actually, learning a fukcing thing that's remotely valued by other humans)? Why are you incapable of assessing and addressing the critical questions about, for example, our esteemed Lawn Ornament Posing as Commander-in-Chief? Why do you accept so readily the "consensus" on global warming? Why are you so uncritical about anything unrelated to legislative action banning anal sex or the "marriage" of individuals who until recently hurled the insult 'BREEDER' at me?" The last person who knew how to teach sentence diagramming retired about 10 years ago. The last history teacher who believed in instructing on the relevance of 1066, June 15 (my birthday, so I include the date) 1215, 1776, 1860/1865, 1913, 1914, about the Ukrainian famine of the late 1930s, etc. etc. etc., retired years ago or now is so brow-beaten by the P.C. teachers union that they don't care. I once asked my sister-in-law, a straight-A graduate of a prestigious English college, what happened in 1066. She replied,'I don't know and what the fukc does it matter?" Indeed. Ask your kids the significance of any of those dates. Go ahead. Ask your kids who got accepted to Princeton on a "free ride" why those dates are important. You'll get blank stares. We are creating a population of fukceng idiots. Individuals who might, perhaps, turn into reasonable facsimiles of adults, but only to the extent that they can -- maybe -- work at something and pay their bills. That's what 98% of our children are. (Disclaimer: 100% of mine are). It's our fault. All the insanity in this state, all these frantic emails "Come to Trenton!!! Don't come to Trenton!!! Email your representative!!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!!" All of this bullshit is OUR FAULT. We let this happen by sitting on our fat asses and allowing barnyard animals like Swiney and Sweet Loretta, Crisp Crispy, and his heir-apparent the aforementioned Sweeney among the Nightingales, to take over our government. And as we've learned, some animals are more equal than other animals. Your hearts are all in the right place but I fear we have all, and I mean myself too, 100%, through our complacency and lack of vigilance, created the mega-casket in which the body of the USA, those ideals we love to strut about at NJ legislative hearings, will be buried. It will occur state by state, as the multi-national masters of Christie, Weinberg, Sweeney, etc., dictate. California's white population is now a minority. The same is about to happen in Texas. It soon will not matter what concerned constitutionalists on the plains of North Texas think, or how they vote. They are dying, and their children will be voting for "reason" and all that other stuff. Glad I'm on my way out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
