You agree with this kind of curriculum ?
Well said!

The deflection is getting really out of hand from the left.

IF it were true there would be additional credible links provided for verification by the OP.

I try to picture the posters as I type and I am guessing you are a child or new to posting ? Most people Don't use bold type for the whole message .
Anyway , why do you give Glen Beck zero credibility , what has he been wrong on ?

The typical kneejerk Obamatron response:

"Beck has been wrong about everything."

Their tinfoil hats are on extra tight lately.

Bloodsucking Capitalists: Emotional Reading of Excerpts at Tucson School Board Meeting From a Book Used in the Controversial Ethnic Studies Curriculum for Grades 3rd – 12th (Content Warning) | The Blaze

I don't think this is what most people imagine "Ethnic Studies" is about. It is not teaching children about their ancestors' culture. This is a radical political agenda, if ever there was one. Another example of public school indoctrination and obscene use of children to further a political cause.


Glenn Beck had that lady on his show, day before yesterday, discussing this very thing.

Nothing to do with Capitalists. This is straight up Progressive.

Beck has actually been proven very wrong on many, many occasions. Not all the time, of course, but a free thinking, independent mind who has a moral foundation that frowns upon lying should be extremely skeptical of anything related to him because he regularly makes dubious conspiracy theory links that are designed to propagandize his radical right-wing agenda.

Speaking of which, if The Blaze is actually right (I'm yet to see an article from them that didn't omit or spin significant amounts of info), then this curriculum is some of the worst radical left-wing propaganda I've ever seen. Reminds me of those extremists in Texas forcing right-wing propaganda through the school systems. So, I guess it's possible to get this sort of drivel through, no matter one's political view.

Can anyone post an independent, credible source for this video and situation? Whenever I encounter radical leftists, they seem unrepentent in this absurd belief, so I'm not surprised if it is true.
