clipped from www.cc.org Publisher puts warning label on the Constitution As hard as it may be to believe (or perhaps not), a US publisher has put a warning label on a recently released book comprised of a copy of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers and other works written by America's Founding Fathers. (Via Fox News) Wilder Publications warns readers of its reprints of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, Common Sense, the Articles of Confederation, and the Federalist Papers, among others, that “This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today.” The disclaimer goes on to tell parents that they "might wish to discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was written before allowing them to read this classic work."

"Montana School Proposes Controversial Sex Education Program"

clipped from www.foxnews.com Montana School Proposes Controversial Sex Education Program A proposed plan to teach kindergartners sex education has come under fire in Helena, Montana. The Helena Public School system is considering a comprehensive plan for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. It includes teaching first graders that people can be attracted to the same gender. In second grade students are instructed to avoid gay slurs and by the time students turn 10 years old they are taught about various types of intercourse. According to the draft proposal obtained by FOX News Radio, fifth graders should “understand that sexual intercourse includes but is not limited to vaginal, oral, or anal penetration.”

"University of Illinois Instructor Fired Over Catholic Beliefs"

clipped from www.foxnews.com University of Illinois Instructor Fired Over Catholic Beliefs URBANA, Ill. -- The University of Illinois has fired an adjunct professor who taught courses on Catholicism after a student accused the instructor of engaging in hate speech by saying he agrees with the church's teaching that homosexual sex is immoral. "Natural Moral Law says that Morality must be a response to REALITY," he wrote in the e-mail. "In other words, sexual acts are only appropriate for people who are complementary, not the same." An unidentified student sent an e-mail to religion department head Robert McKim on May 13, calling Howell's e-mail "hate speech." "Teaching a student about the tenets of a religion is one thing," the student wrote. "Declaring that homosexual acts violate the natural laws of man is another." says he was fired at the end of the spring semester after sending an e-mail explaining some Catholic beliefs to his students preparing for an exam.

Law school policy labeled 'crazy'

A spokesman for a conservative legal group is taking note of the significance of a Supreme Court justice calling a law school policy "crazy." The case in question deals with a club on campus that is fighting to maintain its Christian standards.

The high court last week heard arguments from the University of California's Hastings College of the Law and a campus chapter of the Christian Legal Society. CLS claims Hastings' policy forces them to accept as voting members and potential leaders, classmates who do not share their core religious beliefs.

Hastings says official campus groups may not exclude people due to religious beliefs or sexual orientation. But during arguments, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was reported as saying: "To require the Christian Society to allow atheists not just to join, but to conduct Bible classes -- that's crazy." (See earlier story)

The Supreme Court is expected to render its decision on the case by the end of June.

Cultural Marxism in Education: The Gathering Revolt

For decades now, American schools corrupted by cultural Marxism have been eroding the moral fiber and judgment skills of schoolchildren. Unless sensible parents and teachers put a stop to the indoctrination, today's free speech-crippling political correctness, tolerance of immorality, and lack of knowledge of our country's birth will continue to grow until America is no more.

traditional values must be obliterated in order to free "oppressed" social groups, called for eliminating social decorum and glorifying perverse behavior in order to destroy the Western middle class and collapse society from within.

control social discourse on culture, politics, and economics and hush debate

demonizing people who question progressive wisdom

unacceptable to criticize any manner of sexual behavior

urged people to engage in "perversions" to soften the sting of capitalism's alleged enslavement.

Great article

Amazing how much has changed since I was in school just 12 yrs ago. Very sad. One reason I'll be homeschooling if & when I have children. I will teach them the truth & they will love this country. But most importantly, they will learn & learn to be independent.

"Cheating is now called cooperative learning"?! I remember "cooperative learning." We called it group projects or group work. Essentially it composed of me doing all the work for the lazy people who didn't care what grade they got. I think now days we call that socialism, or what many want to now adopt as the "American way."

Photos of children 'inappropriate' for display

Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 2/26/2010 5:20:00 AM

The more than 100 photos are of unclothed women and girls shown as part of "Body Awareness/Body Appreciation Week," an annual event on the campus. A university spokesman claims the exhibit does not constitute pornography. But Kent Ostrander, who heads up the Family Foundation of Kentucky, disagrees.

"Our concern is primarily focusing on the fact that some of these photos are of young children -- two-and-a-half years old, eight years old, twelve years old -- and that's just inappropriate," he remarks. "A child [that age] has not reached the age of consent."

The photographer is quoted as saying he obtained permission from the parents. In response, Ostrander says that "any adult who would allow their child to be used that way, exploited that way, is a fool."

"universities should be pushing the envelope on education, not on sexuality."

Here are some interesting statistics. There is no way to accurately say that these increases are solely due to taking prayer out of school but the time in history when prayer was removed from schools marks a turning point in our history as a nation. Starting in the '60's, our country has taken a nose dive on the scale of morality. And, that is evident in these graphs. All the same, this info is interesting & extremely disheartening.
