MORE POLITICALLY CORRECT INDOCTRINATION IN GILES SCHOOL SYSTEM
Why has the school system chosen to allow the film "An Inconvenient Truth" to be shown to students as a factual representation of global warming when well over 80% of it has been proven to be nothing but a lie? In Great Britain and a number of other places the film can only be shown in schools when a disclaimer accompanies it.
At Richland recently not only was there no disclaimer but the film was presented as 100% factual. Families have complained to the administration as many are very unhappy with this kind of distortion and outright lies being used to pervert the minds of their children. In many places schools have become the breeding ground for political correctness instead of education I had hope this school system would be able to avoid such perversions, sadly it seems I was wrong.

Why would anyone think truth has a function is American public education? This isn't meant to be a cheap shot at teachers who try & usually succeed in conveying useful knowledge. It is the politbureau of education - with trickle on indoctrination from the Barney Frank level on down to our own infamous story teller of Giles Co. Of course, the director of our education could put a stop to it, but that would be out of character. There is that winkum & blinkum image to maintain.
So one more strike for the head of the school board still no one cares enough to do anything about it.
who said the school system allowed it. did anyone check to see if the teacher who showed it got approval first or just showed it without permission being granted. rules are in place for a reason but you would be surprized at how many teachers ignore them. how do you know it was presented as 100% factual. were you in the classroom. how do you know that families have complained. were you in the principals chair taking the calls. just more of your spouting off without knowing all the details.
Anybody who would approve of their child watching this movie as being factual doesnt have a clue anyway an you would be wasting your time trying to tell them any different.They are probably worshipers to the great al gore anyway. They will be showing W next.
This movie is opinion based only. There are many scientists and people who study the earth's atmosphere that do not support Gore's ideals. I would never allow my children to watch this movie if the intent was to educate them that this movie is factual in its content. Al Gore needs to live by example and sell his jet he flies around in throughout the country promoting is movie and book deals. He has no hopes of any further political career, thus why this crap is being jammed down our throats. I guess he has to make a living somehow.
To anonymous of the 29 Oct 7:05 post.
You ask, “who said the school system allowed it (showing the propaganda film An Inconvenient Truth) did anyone check to see if the teacher who showed it got approval first or just showed it without permission being granted. rules are in place for a reason but you would be surprized at how many teachers ignore them”.
Are you suggesting that this teacher and others that have shown the movie would do so without permission and then not have disciplinary action taken for violating school rules?
Are you suggesting that there are school rules but teachers are not required to follow them, what does that say to the students who are told over and over that they must follow the rules?
You ask, “how do you know it was presented as 100% factual. were you in the classroom. how do you know that families have complained. were you in the principals chair taking the calls”.
I wasn’t on the moon when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the surface but I’m reasonably sure he did. After having a number of parents call and report the incident and their calls to the principal and the Administrative Offices I feel reasonably sure that I can stand behind what I wrote. Some of the parents I know rather well and some I don’t know other than by name.
As for your comment about “just more of your spouting off without knowing all the details”, if I am wrong then you can certainly correct me. On the other hand you can prove your comment true and show me to be an utter liar simply by denying what I wrote happened and show some evidence that it did not happen. But, you didn't deny what I wrote was true you only asked some questions as a diversion from that truth.

That is all they ever do. They only want to throw everyone off as to what is really happening in Giles County. It is really sad that someone would rather go along with any and all wrong doing.
If you want to see a perversion of minds go to the "Judgement House"
wab...
Oh come on now, you know that you are never wrong about anything. It's alwasy some other low-life liar and crook, isn't it?
You should know. I seems to me that you live amongst them.
anonymous..
So, are you the self-appointed spokesperson (politically correct there) for wab?
O.K. wab, I'll bite. Just exactly which school board policy was broken with the showing of this movie? And, are you sure teachers have to "have permission" before showing a video in their classrooms?
It's a simple enough matter to resolve, call the school board office and ask them. Why should WAB do all the work for you. He simply made an observation someone else stated that it was the policy he then responded with what I consider pertinent questions. So now you can prove him wrong by telling all of us what the school board policy is if it is different than what's been stated. If WAB makes a statement why in the world would you expect him to do the research to prove himself wrong?
howard..
How many times have you seen wab condescendingly tell others on this blog that they needed to give supporting details or facts concerning their positions on various issues? I've seen it several times. Why would you think that he should not have to give supporting facts to statements he makes? He should be held to the same standard you just mentioned.
I believe WAB should be held to the same standards as everyone else. I have seen him make strong statements on this blog but not necessarily condescending statements. In fact he has shown much more restraint at times than I would have. You may or may not realize that the most consistently condescending poster on this blog is you. You are the one who has claimed to know what WAB and others are thinking, what their motivation is etc. What was asked of WAB was essentially the same thing as him stating his name then you demand that he prove it.
If you read what you are criticizing it was in response to another poster who stated the matter was against school rules.
Your problem is that you are so obsessed with trying to catch WAB in some error that you discard good common sense. If you could read what he writes with the same attitude you have toward yourself you might not end up looking so silly.
Amen to that!
howard..
Yes, I think calling people names and suggesting their ignorance and lack of knowledge are quite condescending. And, as for the restraint he has shown, I would hate to see what he would say were he not restrained. One of these days though, the right person is going to be insulted and I'm wondering how much restraint they will show toward him.
Your problem seems to be that you think it's ok for those like wab to insult and malign those who differ with them, but it's NOT ok for those like me to call him to task about it. How is that fair?
As for my being obsessed, you are a kook if you think that. By the way, I wasn't calling you a name; I was merely describing your behavior.
531 - you have so much relativism pumped in your head that you are irrelevant to everyone! Where did you go to school? Cuba?
There you go with your "relativism" thing again. So incredibly one-dimensional and silly.
Sorry about being one dimensional with you - forgot - you're nondimensionalble
Does your one-dimensional mind set make you irrelevant? I think it does. Laughable.
Next thing you'll claim is being omnidimension - fecalogically correct in every sense of the word.

You are soooooo Freudian and apparently fixated at the anal stage of development. Fecalism must be on your mind a lot, because I've seen several references made to it. Perhaps you and some of your buddies share those posts; I don't know.
Looks like we'll be getting a belly full of global worming, lessons on compassionate infantacide, and lots of sympathy with all nighter vigils for perverts an serial killers.
Maybe when the multicultural muslims get in power we can replace the dog fighting with rocking & rolling the perverts - not a pleasant thought considering they have the same loathing of Christians!
Talk about political correctness, someone tell me why a large church in Pulaski suddenly stopped calling their Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas dinner by those names? It's now "holiday" dinner for both of them. And the Christmas baskets they take to the needy at Christmas are now called "holiday" baskets. Preachers and church leaders who are too cowardly to refrain from caving to political correctness should be fired!
Can I get an amen on that?
Don't know which church you refer to but if there is no Thanksgiving or Christmas then there isn't a church.
From the very beginning Thanksgiving has had only one purpose, both Christmas and Easter were part of something else that eventually found their way to being major Christian Celebrations.
Thanksgiving has began in this country when a group of Spanish explorers landed in St. Augustine and by decree gave thanks to God for their safe arrival. Later the Pilgrims and Puritans also had special days set aside for Giving Thanks to God.
Thanksgiving has proven more difficult to co-op than either Christmas with it's Santa and Easter with it's Spring Break, but they continue to try.
If it's Thanks Giving then there must be a recognition of someone to whom that thanks is given. That's where the rub is for the secular world, God is worthy of our thanks for all things good. The liberal secularist have convinced many weak-kneed people who think it's better to get along than do what is right.
Personally I believe any Christian who chooses holiday greetings over a genuine observance of Thanksgiving and Christmas isn't much of a Christian or mature adult. Allen Barrett
wab..
I know some of these people personally and so want to ask them why they caved in on the issue of "holiday dinner" and holiday baskets. But I don't. I just find it hard to understand why they don't object. That's almost as hard to understand as why some of them voted for pro-abortion and pro-homosexual candidates without feeling any shame. Again, they don't need a panty-waist preacher and leaders who are too cowardly to stand up!
