Right about here most people are asking….HUH?
This is that group of a/holes from the Heritage Foundation on our education system….
Florida is the first state to embrace the manure from these ‘people’…..
Florida education leaders on Thursday approved a set of principles that would teach a conservative-backed vision of the United States. The State Board of Education, which also approved social-studies changes intended to highlight ideological evils of communism, signed off on Florida becoming the first state to adopt the Heritage Foundation’s “Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
The declaration is a statement of principles described as fostering “a love of country,” teaching children to “seek the good, true and beautiful” and aiming for students to “achieve their full, God-given potential.” Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas said the declaration establishes an “affiliation” with the Heritage Foundation and promotes what the board supports rather than what it opposes. “We often call out what is problematic in education, pushing an ideology over indoctrination, whether that’s the instruction of sexual orientation and gender identity in elementary schools or divisive concepts like critical race theory and DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) that treats people differently based on the way God created them,” Kamoutsas said. “Well, this talks about what we want to see. We want to see parents empowered.

It is bad enough that these dicks have fucked up our political system and now they have a plan to do the same with the education of our children.
My favorite part of the whole debacle is there statement…..“We often call out what is problematic in education, pushing an ideology over indoctrination”
Now what is the difference between instruction and indoctrination?
How long before the other Red States embrace the crap these people are pushing?
It is true that the education system needs an overhaul but nothing these idiots are proposing will make it better…..if anything it will feed the bigotry and ignorance they say they want to eliminate.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
The statement of principles starts out half-way acceptable, but then it goes into stuff that reeks of religious precepts. But then … is anyone surprised coming from the Heritage Foundation?
Not in my case….I wonder how many states like mine will jump on that bandwagon. chuq
