Revision and Bias

Unless you want an authoritarian world governance... you will be demeaned and dehumanized... and ultimately destroyed and written out of history.

" When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community." Hitler

" Both students and intellectuals should study hard. In addition to the study of their specialized subjects, they must make progress both ideologically and politically, which means that they should study Marxism, current events and politics. Not to have a correct political point of view is like having no soul." Mao

“Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?” ― “Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” Stalin

To parody current viral questions, which one are you?

The state kneads the dough to create only the citizen they desire which is not necessarily what the individual they are creating wants or requires for their own individual desires.

Nevertheless, civilization only exists because of educated citizens.  It cannot exist under anarchy.
My individual desire might be to murder my neighbor but I have not done so because I am a citizen who is governed by law.

I think it's disgusting that the average American can't name the three branches of our Government, the Vice President, or any members of the Supreme Court.
I'm strongly in favor of Civics Classes and indoctrination in how our government works.

Libertarianism is a nice idea until it leads to anarchy.
It is heading that way, IMO, and is more likely to be a danger than becoming a dictatorship is.

Plus it's a neo-libertarianism that opposes a woman's right to choose, wants to bring back the draft and believes that a country can be run without taxes.

Yeah... Well... Most the people I know who are home schooled know more about the branches of government and how they are supposed to operate along with American (United States) history than those that are educated by our public school systems.

I'ma' thinkin' that that makes a comment on Pkr's other thread, which is quite interesting I might add, about state education.

I think that American History knowledge would be affected by who is home schooling a child. If they're only being taught the good side of our history it's more like being brainwashed than actually taught.
At least in public schools parents can keep up with what's being taught to their kids and there can be a public discussion assuring that slavery and our treatment of the native Americans is not left out.
Revisionist history is one of my problems with home school education.
It's even in some private schools. PCS textbooks are not the same as those used in public schools. They're tailored towards the beliefs of fundamentalism and reading them is like reading an interesting book of fiction.

Don't you know that history is written by the winners... If you want to revise history then I can give you reasons why the United States wars against Germany last century were illegal.

How you want to justify things is what it all boils down too.

Most wars are illegal.
Some of them like the ones against Germany were necessary.

Most of them are not.

What made them necessary?

If we educate in the fundamentals and leave the actual thought process and questioning to the child - imagine what might would happen!

In both public education and "Christian"/private education, there is a slant of view being taught. It's not avoidable.

Come now Eddard. Don't be shy. I sure your moral justifications for the United States entering into two World Wars with Germany and having millions of our young men killed served some sort of high moral purpose in your mind. All you have to do is explain your justifications as to why you felt those wars were necessary...

I guess it is okay to let Japan bomb our ports?

Yeah, let's sit back, turn the other cheek and get bombed into oblivion... that's the ticket.

When a belligerent country perceives another as weak it becomes easier for them consider war to obtain whatever their goal might be. Several things have kept other country's from considering war with us since the great Japanese miscalculation of WWII - we are geographically difficult for another country to invade with the exception obviously of the two bordering nations who are allies but also decidedly weaker, another reason is we have maintained an effective, well-trained, and well-equipped military with global reach. Is it expensive? Yes. But war is even more so......now if we could just end the Mideastern BS.

I disagree. We had a legitimate excuse to go after Japan. But Japan isn't Germany and Germany is geographically on the other side of Asia from Japan.

I'm still anxiously awaiting Eddard's excuse as to why he felt it 'necessary' for the United States to throw the first punches at Germany in both those World Wars though. After all since history for so many things should be reviewed and revised we should have some good excuses for being the aggressor against someone who wasn't attacking us.

But, DE, Japan was in cahoots with the other Axis powers (Germany, Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria). If you are at war with Japan, you are at war with the others. Besides, Germany and Italy declared war against the US on December 11, 1941.

Isolationism had to take a back seat with everything hitting the fan.

Well what the hey!!!!!

If that's all it takes then Iran is known to be a source for terrorists and their equipment in the ME and they did declare war against the United States in 1980 without ever rescinding that declaration...

Let's turn them into a parking lot!

Sounds like Bush II was within his rights to declare war on Iraq too if that's the case since they didn't want to comply with the UN inspections after we had trounced them the first time.
