Pro-Muslim Bias in Schools

How can any parent be blamed for wanting to pull their children out of the public school system in view of the increasing pro-islamic indocrination going on along with the degradation and demonization of our own Judeo-Christian values. Like everything else the left-wing controls, the public school system is morally bankrupt and a failure. If parents can’t afford private schooling, they ought to home school their kids.

Biased Textbooks: Texas Gets It But Florida Does Not

By rich swier, Red County

Dr. Francis Haithcock, Chancellor of Florida’s Public Schools, is the perfect example of a Catch-22. Catch-22 is a general critique of bureaucratic operation and reasoning. The phrase “Catch-22″ is common idiomatic usage meaning “a no-win situation” or “a double bind” of any type.

Over seven months ago Aya Sewell, mother and parent with two children in Sarasota public schools, went to the School Board and requested the textbook World History: Patterns of Interaction be removed from the district approved list of instructional materials. On July 20, 2010 the School Board held an appeal hearing to consider the request. The Sarasota County School Board voted to deny the appeal in large part because the subject textbook was on the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) list of approved instructional materials. School board members recommended Aya take her case to the FDOE.

Aya did just that and guess what happened?

Aya received a letter dated September 17, 2010 from Dr. Frances Haithcock stating, “Considerations of whether a text is appropriate for a school district’s students and the decision to use a particular text remain local issues.” [Emphasis added]

Aya is now in a perfect double bind or Catch-22.

Who would have guessed. But it gets worse. According to Chancellor Haithcock, “Although your letter [to the Florida Commissioner of Education] identifies areas where you believe the content standards were not adequately addressed and areas where you believe the content standards themselves show an improper emphasis, the letter and its enclosures did not identify factual, historical inaccuracies in the textbook that would warrant an investigation pursuant to that section [of Florida Statute 1006.35].” [Emphasis added]
