Parents: bar the doors and hide the kids!

The school year is starting and the Leftists want your child. The most recent posting on the listserv for the National Council for Social Studies is one for the Education for Sustainable Development Teacher Project. If this doesn't reek of Social Reconstructionism to you, you just aren't following education. I looked over their materials and took their survey, and sure enough, its the same anti-capitalist, technocratic experts will ban plastic bags for you, anti-globo, socialist claptrap we've come to expect from the Social Reconstructionists, whose goal it is to reconstruct society into a Leftist utoptia.

This is why we have high stakes testing. Parents with a clue see this stuff and they demand a return to education, as opposed to indoctrination. When their (and their political proxies') demands are ignored, they pull out the sledge-hammer.

This is why we have home schooling. Parents with a real aversion to this kind of indoctrination give up on the re-education camps and being the kids back home for real eduation.

This is why we have vouchers and charter schools. Parents see this kind of nonsense and want there kids somewhere else.

Teachers who don't get this are part of the problem. Teachers who push this kind of curriculum against parent, community, and administration desires, are the enemy of the public schools.
