I have to agree with BOTR here. What the hell is the point of this thread?? Some theists believe some atheists think some theists think thus and such about some atheists.
Foolishness.
Theists go worship your god/gods and leave the rest of us alone.

I didn't include the two ads you posted in my post because the activities portrayed in those ads are normal activities,
school sports and carving a pumpkin.
Ummmm exactly my point.
And the whole BO stink thing, what are you, 8?

How do you feel about Common Core education?
by nonjwspouse inespecially if you are a teacher, how did you learn about it to begin with?
was there a common core rep doing a slick presentation?.
how do those of you with kids on school feel about, among others, things such as the deemphasis on the great works of literature ?.

You talk about insults, but continually disregard pertinent questions, requests for links to support your claims, excellent information by teachers and others who are actually IN the schools, all the while saying things like this
I do not take information force fed to me by an agency or anyone else. I research, and look into accusations of concern. I am doing so, are you? Or do you care?
Implying that others do not research, simply because they do not come to the conclusion you do. Not only are you being insulting, you are clinging to conspiracy theories in the face of facts. Ask these questions of yourself.
I haven't delved vert deep in to your data hysteria, but what's wrong with data? How do you think we keep statistics on anything? How do we determine what works and what should be scrapped?

People can have all the care free sex and drinking they want, just don't make me pay for it.
How are you paying for it?
The ads don't "promote" anything, they point out potentiallly dangerous activities.

Bob, there are those of us who are very frustrated with the "average American" you describe. We are also apparently in the majority as evidenced by voting trends and recent polling.

Oh gracious. As it always is with these conversations, it's all over the map. Can't we take one point and come to a conclusion with supporting evidence, before we move on to the next one?
The possesive noun worksheet is from a Pearson publication that has apparently been around since 2007. Who in their right mind is trying to purport that we have not ALWAYS had a jingoistic pro America and the Government attitutde in schooling? For pete's sake, we salute the flag every morning like good little soldiers. Half the stuff being gasped at is stuff that's been around for decades. Why is it all suddenly so scary?
One more time. Each State and District will choose the curriculum and materials they will use. So if you find the Pearson publications, or the McGraw Hill textbooks offensive, don't use them. As for cost by the way, depending on the choice of direction, it may actually save millions in textbooks. Much of what is already available with be CCS compatible. School Districts continually buy textbooks. Again, nothing new.
