"You Are NOT Alone!"

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED - OUR HISTORY IS UNDER ATTACK

Recently, Glenn Beck had a show about what kids are being taught in schools today.  One of the books discussed was “Social Studies Alive – Our Communities and Beyond”, which, according to a parent of a child using this book in school, “minimalizes America and teaches about protesting and global activism…”.  In short the kids are being subjected to indoctrination.  This book is published by TCI (Teachers’ Curriculum Institute). The curriculum published by TCI is produced in collaboration with the National Constitution Center, the president and CEO of which was CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service which oversees Americorps, Vista and Senior Corps.

On June 13, the STATE COLLEGE AREA SCHOOL BOARD WILL BE APPROVING A LIST OF BOOKS TO BE USED IN THE 2011-2012 SCHOOL YEAR.  ONE OF THESE BOOKS PROPOSED FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL IS “GOVERNMENT ALIVE – POWER, POLITICS AND YOU”.  This book is published by TCI.

Upon a cursory   review of this book, it appears that many facts about our government and its history are incomplete, incorrect or purposefully misleading.  The book discusses the ‘founding of our democracy’.  A chart in the book indicates that in a federal system of government, power is granted by the Constitution to the Central & Regional Governments and then from the governments to the citizens.

WE NEED YOUR HELP:  BETWEEN NOW AND JUNE 13, THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW AT THE SCASD ADMINISTRATION BUILDING (131 W. NITTANY AVE.).  PLEASE GO AND REVIEW THIS BOOK AND LET THE SCHOOL DISTRICT KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS BOOK AND THE WAY IT TREATS THE HISTORICAL FACTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  WE NEED AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO REVIEW AND COMMENT ON THIS CURRICULUM.  WE ALSO NEED YOU TO LET YOUR NEIGHBORS KNOW ABOUT WHAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE BEING TAUGHT.
