Below are Common Core lessons. What do you think?

Here are teaching materials from Common Core asking 3rd graders to use Possessive Nouns to edit these sentences:

The job of a president is not easy.

answer: A president’s job is not easy.

The people of a nation do not always agree

answer: The nation’s people do not always agree.

The choices of a president affect everyone.

answer: The president’s choices affect everyone.

He makes sure the laws of the country are fair.

answer: He makes sure the country’s laws are fair.*

The commands of government officials must be obeyed by all.

answer: The government official’s commands must be obeyed by all.

The wants of an individual are less important than the well-being of the nation.**

answer: The individual’s wants are less important than the well-being of the nation.

“The sentences, which appear in worksheets published by New Jersey-based Pearson Education, are presented not only for their substance, but also to teach children how to streamline bulky writing.

* This sentence is wrong in accordance with the US Constitution which charges the Congress with fairness. The President is charged with implementation.

** Take away individual rights for the good of the collective. WRONG !! Individual rights are not second to the group. We are all free individual Americans and we are given an opportunity to succeed or fail.

Not only are the Human Capital being indoctrinated, they are also being given wrong information. Indoctrination happens when lessons are being reinforced to change behavior and thought.”

The following is from one lesson taught at a local school. The lesson teaches the child that human rights are rights articulated by the government. Apparently, we need the government to tell us our rights.

EngageNY coordinates with a number of curriculum companies. One such curricula is called Expeditionary Learning. It is replete with lessons meant to indoctrinate and it includes the one above.

As one example, their lessons define human rights as those rights articulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which is the UN’s Marxist version of a bill of human rights. It usurps the US Bill of Rights and furthers a globalist world without borders or sovereignty (Article 13-14). It redefines values sacred to American ideals.

Worst of all, the UDHR promotes the Marxist welfare state.

Check out Articles 23 -25 of the UDHR which defines the welfare state as everyone is entitled to everything, something which can only be done at the expense of the producers.

Article 23.

(1) Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.

(2) Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.

(3) Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.

(4) Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests.

Article 24.

Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay.

Article 25.

(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

(2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.

Now check out an excerpt from the lesson in Engage NY which defines human rights, not in accordance with the US Bill of Rights, but in accordance with the UN’s Marxist Bill of Rights:

Children are told to post the words ‘human rights’ on their whiteboard and the teacher is then directed to say ‘We have talked for the last several days about this phrase. What are human rights?’

After allowing the students to respond and clarify if needed, the teacher is told to say: ‘Human rights are the things that the authors of the UDHR believe should be true for all people.’ View / Download PDF
