| A furor over slavery has erupted at a Midtown elementary school, after a teacher handed out math homework that include questions asking kids to tally the killing and beating of slaves. The shocking questions were given to at least one class of 9-year-olds at PS 59 in Manhattan — which included the kids of United Nations personnel. The inflammatory queries were only uncovered after a student teacher was asked to hand them out to a second class. “What a shock! It seems so over the top,” said NYU professor Charlton McIlwain, who instructed the student teacher,

Sounds like "new math" is just corrupt old politics.

FTA: In a strikingly similar case, third graders at a school in Norcross, Ga. were given homework last year where they had to calculate how many times slaves were beaten.
This was planned by I suspect as a national test by who? Someone in the socialist/dem party?
It sure isn´t coincidence!

our schools are being turned into indoctrination centers. This is what the communists have always wanted; get to our children and slowly but surely change our society to Communists/Marxists/progressive controled society.

"Among the elementary measures the American Soviet government will adopt to further the cultural revolution are...[a] National Department of Education...the studies will be revolutionized, being cleansed of religious, patriotic, and other features of the bourgeois ideology. The students will be taught the basis of Marxian dialectical materialism, internationalism and the general ethics of the new Socialist society."

Hmmm . . . I just wonder if this teacher explained to the students that the southern Democrats owned slavery. It was their institution. The southern Democrats later owned Jim Crow laws of segregation, until the 1960s. Ask the Orville Faubus´, George Wallaces of the time. Probably the teacher didn´t offer this up for discussion however?

FTA: “In a slave ship, there can be 3,799 slaves." I didn´t know they chartered Carnival Cruise Line ships to transport slaves! There weren´t any "slave ships" large enough to transport 3799 people. The teacher is a complete idiot.

Senator Rand Paul responded on Sunday morning to President Barack Obama’s drone speech, which seemed at times a riposte to Paul’s filibuster in March on the issue of targeting American citizens with drones. “On Thursday, it sounded as if the President was responding directly to Senator Paul,” host Martha Raddatz said, and asked Paul if his concerns had been addressed. “I was pleased with his words,” Paul said. “However, there still is a question in my mind, of what he thinks due process is.

Democrats vow they won´t be caught flat-footed when the co-author of the State Department´s independent audit on Benghazi appears for a closed-door interview with congressional investigators next month. Retired Ambassador Thomas Pickering has agreed to be deposed by Rep. Darrell Issa´s (R-Calif.) Oversight panel on June 3 after being threatened with a subpoena. Democrats say they´re wary of a trap, and want to be able to counter what they say is Issa´s habit of leaking “cherry-picked” portions of witnesses´ testimonies to the press.

There is no better name for an event that resonates with patriotism, deep loyalty and an authentic sense of mission: Rolling Thunder. Oh, yeah. Here they come. They’re rolling, and it is thunderous. At least a half-million riders were expected for the 26th annual Ride for Freedom. “Everything about this rally still affects me, no matter how many years we’ve been doing it. And everything we do is meant to remember and honor our POWs, MIAs and all of our veterans,” said former U.S. Army Sgt. Artie Muller, who founded the organization in 1987 and named it for a

National Republicans have shifted so drastically in the past decade that the party’s most vaunted figure - former President Ronald Reagan - would no longer find a home in the GOP, former Sen. Bob Dole claimed Sunday. “Reagan couldn’t have made it,” Dole said, adding he too would also have faced challenges in today’s Republican Party. Instead of operating day-to-day in a nonelection year, the national party should focus on broader plans to rehabilitate itself after the losses of 2012, the former Kansas lawmaker said. “I think they ought to put a sign on the national committee doors

GLENS FALLS, N.Y.- Gerald West held the laminated sheet of paper fellow World War II combat veteran Robert Addison pulled from an old briefcase and perused the 300-plus names listed under the words, "Lest We Forget." "I knew quite a few of those guys," said West, 93, who made the short drive to Addison´s home 45 miles north of Albany recently to reminisce about their wartime service with the legendary Edson´s Raiders, an elite Marine Corps unit that was the forerunnner of today´s U.S. Special Forces.

Washington rumor has it that Obama wants to be U.N. Secretary General. There are several reasons that make that likely, and if it´s true, it throws new light on a lot of Obama´s oddities -- including his Royalty Bows, his Apology Tours, his Muslim Sellout, and the Benghazi Cover-Up. But first -- why would Obama be planning to become the chief of the U.N. before he has even finished his second term?

Sen. Ted Cruz doesn’t have as many friends as he says he does. In the latest round of Cruz’s simmering debate with Sen. John McCain (who labeled Cruz a "wacko bird"), Cruz spoke of "my friend, the senior senator from Arizona" while painting him as out of touch with his party and country. It usually takes a while for senators to learn how to weaponize compliments and imprecations of friendship, but Cruz is a quick study. After a patient attack on McCain´s understanding of history, Cruz said: "I know my friend from Arizona is well aware of that

A Washington state Democrat is accusing Republicans of “throwing American infrastructure … under the bus” after a bridge collapse there this week. The portion of Interstate 5 in Washington that runs over the Skagit River collapsed on Thursday after a truck hit an overhead support structure, but Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) cited the incident in an interview as proof Republicans were blocking infrastructure investment to hurt President Obama politically. “Well, they have clearly spent the whole last five years trying to tear the president down, but they have done it by throwing the American infrastructure and

If you want to see the true face of the Obama administration, you need look no further than the president’s embattled attorney general, Eric Holder. By turns whiny, shifty, obfuscatory, petulant, insulting and arrogant, Holder has become a fixture before congressional investigating committees, fending off one Obama scandal after another, while proclaiming that he — the nation’s top cop — doesn’t know anything about anything and highly resents any implication that he does. Indeed, all the Obama scandals — the murderous gunrunning scheme called Fast and Furious, the secret monitoring of the Associated Press and Fox News reporter James Rosen

Michelle Obama certainly knows how to work a room! In this case, it was a kindergarten classroom at Savoy Elementary School in Washington D.C., where the patrons were, well, pint-size. The first lady paid a visit to the youngsters, brightening their day with some silly dance moves performed in unison and imparting an important message about hard work and perseverance.Awww. According to the Huffington Post, Obama encouraged the kiddos to "try new things and not be afraid to fail, because we have all failed," and referenced Kerry Washington (also in the audience),

Some conservatives think that the elite media are finally turning on Barack Obama and his administration.The argument goes like this: The trio of scandals that have burst forth in the last couple of weeks—the events before, during, and after the deadly attack on the diplomatic outpost in Benghazi; the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups; and especially the Department of Justice’s secret subpoenas of Associated Press phone records and targeting of Fox News reporter James Rosen as a potential co-conspirator in a leak investigation—will mark an inflection point. From here on out, journalists will apply far more scrutiny
