Texas 6th graders assigned to design flag for new socialist nation

[green73]

Sixth-grade children in many Texas public schools are being tasked with designing flags for a new socialist nation as part of the state's curriculum, EAG News reported Monday.

"Notice socialist/communist nations use symbolism on their flags representing various aspects of their economic system. Imagine a new socialist nation is creating a flag and you have been put in charge of creating a flag," says a lesson plan being used as part of CSCOPE, the curriculum being used by over 70 percent of Texas school districts.

"Use symbolism to represent aspects of socialism/communism on your flag. What kind of symbolism/colors would you use?" the lesson plan asks.

man, I'd have fun with that.

Any flags made that put socialism in a negative light will assuredly result in detention or worse.

Self-identification of the kids that need MOAR education.

Or rather, parents that need some looking into.

"On top of this," the Review said, "no one is allowed to view the CSCOPE lessons except teachers who had to sign a gag-order not to tell anyone about the content of the lessons."

Seriously?

[Lucille]

"CSCOPE is the prelude to having the Obama Common Core Standards in our schools. Via our Texas School Superintendents, who are studying how to implement Common Core, our state Education services centers are setting in place the perfect technology framework called CSCOPE," Texas CSCOPE Review added.

Another post at the Review shows a graphic used in the curriculum and says that it promotes communism to young children.

"It's built by teachers, designed by teachers and that's what's powerful about CSCOPE," Lebay said.

Yeah, it's real powerful.

The following diagram is from a CSCPOE student handout. Note that the diagram indicates that one climbs the stairs upward to communism.

Yup, this is in implementation round here too I suppose. My son came home and was talking about how the perfect political system had to be communism. I asked him why and he lauded the fairytale of communism, everyone doing their part.... I just looked at him and he says 'yeah I know, it would never work that way'. God I need to get him out of the government control centers.

Is your chin still dirty from when you picked it up off the ground?

This will be my kids' last year in public school. They are 8 and 6. I can still save them :)

Right!?!? I've had custody of him for 8 years now, and he comes to me with something like that!? I'm happy that he's actually paying attention to politics on a base level at his age, but apparently even 14 is still pretty impressionable.

[Athan]

A nice "nazi-esque" flag with the swatzitika made to resemble a barcode.

Oh, something along this line - but perhaps a bit more stylized:

What's the traditional symbol for endless grinding poverty?

[Carson]

Yeah, it's real powerful.

I pretty much figure the road to communism has been paved in counterfeited fiat but to boldly show the steps to communism constructed out of it is pretty dang bold.

There is no way this is not done with the purpose of destroying the country.

[Dr.3D]

It appears Joseph McCarthy was correct.

countries irrelevant. It is destroying ideas of free market, liberty, and private ownership, far, far worse.

[Philhelm]

I wonder if any of the children drew a picture of the American Flag, unedited...

I wish I knew a 6th grader, I don't think I do though. :( This is just very hard to believe. I only went to public school for 4 years and that was high school, but still.

As a white man nation, the best you can do is narrow to the Constitution? See, you aren't going to silence this nonsense with law. A God Damned lawyer isn't going to know what is special about this nation just because he or she is a God Damned lawyer. We are doing this to ourselves. Narrow down to the Founders. If you can't do that, then why try to fight as you aren't ever going to win as a puppet of the two party system. As tyrants are drunkards, the drunkards are lawyers who have been carried away by the false powers of manipulation.
While utilizing the powers of manipulation is going to get us killed, speaking the ultimate power of the Truth will sober him and her up. That is the best we can do.
Gandhi himself would hate all these people trying to destroy the United States. He would hate all these shallow people and their contempt for the Constitution. But you won't ever hit the apple out of a tree by aiming straight at it. Similarly, you aren't going to acquire liberty and equality by aiming directly at those virtues. All our education has led us to believe there exists no such thing as a blue sky to aim towards. Therefore, we always miss the mark. But there is something greater to aim for which is foundational. This is unalienable! This is something which isn't hot-pink liberal nor baby-blue conservative! If you want to destroy the enemy, first you have to learn to quit being unwilling workers for the enemy.

That is what I meant. The basic founding principles.

Yeah kids, Texas nation with a RED flag and no blue at all - hold the people's sickle please.

[2young2vote]

Its just an innocent way of knowing how much brainwashing has to be done. If they make something that criticizes communism or socialism then that child will get extra attention.

And the marxists continue their subversion.

Turn in a blank piece of paper as the flag with the explanation attached that when communism or socialism is the form of government there is no incentive to complete a task and hopefully someone else will do it but I have no reason to complete the task myself.

There are also no supplies with which one can complete the task. Shortages on markers and paper.

Someone please remind me why Texas has something of a reputation for being a good place to live?

This is just nuts.

Mention that fact to a socialist, and you get a blank stare. It's like it does not even register with them that is the result of socialism. I compare it to the Star Trek episode of the spores. The people had perfect health, no meat in their diets, no animals or pests. All research stopped. They did nothing for 3 years. No motivation for improvement of any kind.
