Fundaloons on your schoolboard? Watch out for "outcome based education"

[Warren Stupidity]

We have an absolute nutjob fundaloon on our schoolboard (she ran unopposed of course) and she is pushing Outcome Based Education. You have to read the link, but it is long, so here is the summary:

The Emperor Julian (you remember him, right?) attempted to undo the Christian State enacted by Constantine (what - oh just brush up on your Roman History) and that exactly parallels Liberal education versus Conservative Education. See?

The parallels between Julian's actions and modern socialized education are startling. The teaching of pagan practices such as perverted-sexuality and aborticide are protected in socialized schools under a cloak of "toleration." Socialized schools require teachers to be certified by the state, effectively closing the schools to Christians who cannot "burn incense" to the methods, principles, values and goals required for certification. Christians are now referred to disparagingly as "right-wing fundamentalist fanatics." They have been subject to a humiliating administrative persecution for many years — though never directly attacked.

I kid you not.

1. Then why doesn't she home school?

Crazy nutbag. Don't like the State's rules? Tough shit.

2. She and her husband (on the budget committee) are determined to impose God's WIll

on all of us heathens and atheists. They are lying assholes who connive to disinform and trick the naive into buying their bullshit.

3. Almost makes the "creationist" people seem sane.

It's one thing to want creationism in text books- stupid and unfounded as it is- but when being certified and knowledgeable in a topic that you teach to children is somehow "socialist" and "against Christian values", that's just beyond crazy...

4. This shows you the importance of the School Board!

Obviously the intent is to push their agenda...on the "heathens". The worst part of this type of thinking is they think they are saving you and everyone. If you don't agree, well to Hell with you..........literally!

Very dangerous people.

5. Yes indeed and along the same lines

these nitwits got their asses handed to them at our cooperative school district town meeting, which I was gloating about to a friend of mine, saying how outraged they must been to get both voted down and shouted down, and he replied, "well no, they view that as confirmation that they are doing the Lord's Work".

It was a very good point.

6. Find out when she is up for re-election

And either find a good candidate to run against her or put your own name on the ballot.
