Here's what chaps my jaws. Common Core = paid for by taxpaers. KQED = paid for by taxpayers. National Public Radio = paid for by taxpaers. National Writing Project = paid for by taxpers.AndyC wrote:http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/10/15/co ... al-agenda/Common Core backers are sneaking a social and political agenda into nationalized curriculum, say critics, who now have new ammo in a writing lesson plan for teachers that they say gives a slanted perspective of the gun debate.
A study guide dubbed, "The Battle Over Gun Control," authored by KQED, a northern Californian affiliate of National Public Radio, and the nonprofit, taxpayer-subsidized National Writing Project, states that "moderate gun control" measures introduced following the Sandy Hook school massacre were deep-sixed by the "powerful political influence" of the NRA. Second Amendment advocates say the wording, in supplemental material designed to help teachers plan instruction, frames the debate in a one-sided fashion aimed at influencing young minds.
We are funding our own demise. There should be a constitutional amendment that bars the expenditure of public funds on anything that is even the remotest bit partisan. The government should be strictly and aggressively neutral. Issues like gun control, abortion, affirmative action and taxes should be banned completely from being funded by the government.
Nothing angers me more than paying for stuff I vehemently disagree with.
