Dear Michelle,
What in the world are you doing in China?!! Your trip is to discuss EDUCATION!! Do you think we need advice from COMMUNISTS?!! Are you so completely mislead as to believe China is a great place and our schools should be like theirs?!! I know you like to take your girls on a nice tax payer funded vacation every year for spring break- but seriously- what do you know about education?!!Have you ever taught or do you have any degrees in education at all? Are you now moving your career from being my nutritional advisor to an education expert?!! I never noticed you being elected to anything, so why would you be representing me in China?!!
This trip wouldn't have anything to do with all the Chinese doctors and professors that are decrying the value of a national curriculum WOULD IT??? My goodness, I know you love communists but let's look at the situation - are you signing your children up for school in Chinese Public Schools? Maybe you should stop for some healthcare in the hospitals for their average Chinese peasant while you are there. The fact is that Communism (tyranny) doesn't work,nor do their schools. They don't get their test scores by testing Chinese peasant children- they pick the brightest and only those children go on to national testing to be compared with other nations.
But wait a minute- you said Common Core was NOT A NATIONAL CURRICULUM!! Why, just because your buddy Arnie Duncan runs around shoving Common Core down the throat of every township, municipality, school district and spot in the road in America and your husband is doling out Federal Grants like candy to bribe every school district, that doesn't make it a FEDERAL program does it? Oh, or maybe it does Michelle.
You know Michelle, I wouldn't care if the schools in China were just wonderful- I still wouldn't want to live in the world of tyranny that you and your husband are trying to create. Our children and our parents and our teachers don't need you or your husband's advice or interference in their schools. In America our schools are a states right and we want our children to go to school to learn academics, not to be social engineered. We'll eat what we want and teach what we want - we really don't want or need your advice.
While we're here having this little conversation Michelle let's talk about the "21st century global education" you're so enamored with. In the first place, you don't know what the "21st century" will be anymore than Lincoln knew how the Civil War would turn out or our founders knew how this great country they created in the new Constitution would work out - you see- God doesn't give us the power to know the future. But one thing is for sure- a country that builds up its debt to over SEVENTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS has sacrificed its' national security and the financial security of its' children. Allowing Russian expansion will leave America weak and in peril- as will nuclear proliferation in Iran and North Korea. Rampant Moslem radicalism that your husband encourages leaves us unsafe everywhere. Legalized drugs and getting rid of mandatory sentences encourages moral decay and a loss of the integrity and work ethic that makes a strong nation. Destabilizing the Middle East, by threatening and not supporting Israel, encourages radicalism and the loss of Western influence there.
None of us knows the future, but we can spend our money carefully and plan well to try to be strong for whatever may come. Your husband is making America weak and in danger. Your trip to China is a waste of money that we don't have to spend. You don't know education and you don't know the 21st century- bring your girls home and pay for your own vacation this year.

DRIVING THE FREEWAYS
I just listened to a video lecture by Diana West who wrote the book American Betrayal. I came across this video completely by accident- I was reading a Google Alert on Common Core and there it was in the margin. I was stunned to see that her research of Soviet archives had brought her to the same conclusion that I talked about in my last post- America is not living on the truth- America is living on lies that are told to us for ideological purposes. The ideological purpose is to destroy capitalism and the American Constitution.
Diana points out that espionage is not always as it is portrayed in the movies- a secret agent trying to get documents and give them over. Espionage can also be trying to frame the debate. Diana has information that shows that our government began to be infiltrated by soviet agents in the thirties.
This is certainly not the first time I have heard about soviet infiltration- we all know about Alger Hiss- and a few days before President Kennedy died he gave a speech in which he said he would be investigating communist infiltration of the government. No thinking person could deny this influence and penetration into our government.
The question is- do we want to believe it? Of course anyone who says the obvious is called a fascist or a red bater or something, to either intimidate them into shutting up or to discredit anything they have to say,but what does America choose to do? America is very sick, some would say on life support- the question is not whether she can get well again- the question is whether the American people WILL make her well again.
My first degree is in social science. I learned there that societies are like families. Dysfunctional families will protect liars. Why do they protect liars? I'm not a psychologist but I guess it is for preservation- preserving a front or a person from exposure. It's easier to protect the lie. You can get love and advantages from protecting the lie. It takes great courage to stand up and take the wrath by exposing the lies. America is like that dysfunctional family. Some people can see the lie and don't want to say anything- it might hurt their job or their social standing or lose them friends. Some people can't see the lie- they've invested their whole life in the lie- maybe they've given up their religion or caused harm to their family- giving up now would leave them without anything in their life- they aren't going to admit the lies even to themselves. Others see the lies but they don't feel like they can do anything about it- they don't think they have a choice, so they go along. One fact does remain however, America must choose to stop the liars, or choose to keep being sick.
We had to go to Washington state this week and as we drove down the highway I watched all these thousands and thousands of cars driving in the right lanes, getting off at the right exits, getting onto and off of ramps, changing lanes - and THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS!! How could that be if the majority of American people are not smart enough or decent enough to even feed their children? Maybe Americans are actually able to be independent and free. Maybe the American people can not only feed their own children but find them healthcare and daycare as they always have. Maybe they can provide for themselves and their families without a large intrusive government. Maybe they can decide on the best education for their children without the Federal government having any say at all. Maybe the vast majority of Americans don't need the Federal Government for anything but what it was intended for in our Constitution. Maybe the Federal Government doesn't need to collect personal data on our children in school so that they can manage us and raise our children because we are too incompetent to do so. Maybe we don't need unemployment insurance or health insurance from the Federal Government. Maybe we really are smart enough to be free and independent.
If you think Common Core is "Just standards" you obviously are unwilling to see or admit the truth. As I've said on this blog a thousand times, and I never should have even had to say it, if you are telling teachers how to teach, aligning the textbooks and providing tests- you haven't just suggested a standard- you have written a curriculum. America will not get on the road to good health until the majority of its citizens will stand up and quit listening to ridiculous and preposterous lies. The lies are all around us- as easy to pick off as ripe cherries from a tree. There is no end of material for this blog- but my heart aches- please America- start FIGHTING BACK!! Have the courage to fight back, just admit the truth and start the healing. Untelling the lies will take time- and for some it will require great courage and personal sacrifice, but we will all be so much better off when we have a country that is on the right path, a country that has a government we can respect again, a country we will be proud to leave to our children.

FALSIFYING DATA
I have learned many things on the journey to my daughter becoming a microbiologist. One of the things I learned is that YOU NEVER FALSIFY DATA!! This is taken VERY SERIOUSLY in the microbiology world. Why is it taken so seriously? It's taken so seriously because SCIENCE DEPENDS ON VALID DATA!! THERE IS NO SCIENCE IF THE DATA IS NOT VALID- THE STORY YOU ARE TELLING IS JUST A MADE UP STORY OF FICTION IF THE DATA IS NOT VALID.
So what is happening in our world today? The left is FALSIFYING DATA!! They have been doing this for a very long time. Do you remember Rachel Carson? She created the DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) hysteria. DDT's usefulness in combatting malaria and other insect-borne diseases was unprecedented. Millions and millions of lives were saved from typhus, malaria and other diseases because of DDT. But suddenly, one woman in a fit of hysteria changed all that. In her book Silent Spring she cited cases of cancer in children and came to the unproven conclusion that the cancer was caused by DDT. She didn't even have to put in the long years of study to prove her theory- she just gave epidemiological evidence- percentages of cancer- to come to her conclusions. Oh my, the fact that more children were dying of cancer than other diseases was because THE OTHER DISEASES LIKE PLAGUE AND MALARIA THAT HAD KILLED CHILDREN PREVIOUSLY WERE WIPED OUT LEAVING THE PERCENTAGE THAT DIED OF CANCER HIGHER SINCE THERE WERE LESS OVERALL DEATHS!! She just hadn't considered that. Now, after millions of unnecessary deaths, the World Health Organization is backing off of its ban on DDT. If the World Health Organization and the press had REQUIRED ACTUAL PROOF OF THE LINK BETWEEN DDT AND CANCER instead of epidemiology - which doesn't prove a connection- millions of lives would have been saved. Do you remember the saccharine hysteria? We all had to quit having saccharine in our drinks because mice that were given saccharine got cancer. Oh my, we later found out that they were giving more saccharine to the mice than their body weight practically!! No proof of connection- how would any body act with that much foreign substance in their body?
And so on it goes- wild fires are wonderful- let it burn!! Oh, and when Yellow Stone Park gets destroyed just put up a museum right away to propagandize the public about all the wonderful wild flowers they now have!! Don't let anyone think about what the runoff will do to the streams or all the wildlife habitat that has been destroyed- propagandize and cover for all the BAD SCIENCE OR NO SCIENCE AT ALL. We all have to have lightbulbs with mercury now for the junk science that says carbons are causing global warming- only theory- no hard science to prove the relationship.
There is really not enough space here to put down all the lies and distortions of leftist "science", but this blog is about the schools, do you really think these people should be writing your child's textbooks? Does anyone think these distortion artists should be given the power to determine what KNOWLEDGE the children of America will learn? Will our children learn ANY VALID KNOWLEDGE when these people are responsible for the National Curriculum called Common Core?
You know it's not just in science that they lie and distort. We see broken lives everyday of people who listened to liberal class warfare garbage. Thank goodness the Senate rejected the nomination of Debo Adegebile to lead the Justice Department's Civil Rights division.He worked to commute the sentence of Mumia Abu-Jamal who killed a policeman. I think Al Sharpton and the NAACP are just as responsible. These groups distort and teach children hatred. I remember when the Black Panthers came up with the name "pig" for policeman. I remember when Al Sharpton accused a bunch of Hockey Players of being rapists and the whole thing was found to be completely false. People learn hatreds and attitudes based on false information. The left has tried to rewrite our history, telling us that Abraham Lincoln had mental illness or President Eisenhower was biracial. I'm sure I couldn't cover all the lies and distortions here, but America will never be free and righteous again until we stop the lies and require proof.
Our children need to get excellent educations in school. They need to learn the crime of FALSIFYING DATA. They need to have REAL BEST TEACHING PRACTICES AND REAL DATA TO BACK UP THE INFORMATION THEY ARE BEING TAUGHT. We can start by holding all of these liberals accountable for everything they try to dump on us. Question, question, question and NEVER accept anything they say without the PROOF!!
