Dana Leosch: Thousands of Black kids killed every Year by other blacks, why no outrage?

from Red Hot Conservative:

Conservative radio host Dana Loesch guest-hosted last night’s Glenn Beck Program, and she opened the show with an impassioned monologue criticizing those who protest on behalf of Trayvon Martin while ignoring the overwhelming violence gripping the “progressive utopian dream” of Chicago on a daily basis.
“So let’s look at the facts,” Dana said. “Youth are the biggest target in Chicago – black youth. In 2012, Chicago had 100 more murders then in New York City, 215 more than Los Angeles, and according to the Chicago Reporter and other statistics, from 2008 to 2012, half of Chicago’s nearly 2,500 homicide victims were killed before they reached their 25th birthdays.”
That number alone is staggering, but it doesn’t even begin to capture the extent of the problem. The Bureau for Justice Statistics reports anywhere from 8,000 to 9,000 black Americans are killed every year, and 93% of those murders are committed by other black Americans.
So where are the riots, the feigned outrage, and protestors decrying those statistics?
“Now, if all of these people out there protesting for Trayvon are so concerned about the death of a youth, then where have they been these past ten years,” Dana asked. ” It’s a farce. It’s a distraction, and if people really cared about the loss of black youth, they would be asking what the hell is going on in their communities. They would be asking why black youth are dying at an epidemic rate. This violence is a symptom of a problem.”
Aside from the horrendous crime rates, looking at Chicago as a case study is disheartening. Many Chicago communities see half their residents living in poverty with failing schools and very little economic opportunity. Furthermore, the family unit has been all but obliterated.
“Now, these statistics are as equally depressing,” Dana said, “but you know, Chicago is just the progressive utopian dream, right? This is President Obama’s backyard.”
“You have to ask why, with the first black president, are black Americans one of the demographics, along with women, so adversely affected by his policies. Why is dependence upon government assistance at an all-time high,” Dana questioned. “Oh, I see change, but there’s no hope to be found. And why does it take a white girl with American Indian ancestry asking these questions? Why is this not a topic of analysis on BET or One News or with Al Sharpton? That’s the question we should be asking.”

Texas TASA school Lesson tells students prayer is wrong

Not only is this lesson liberal Godless propaganda, it is also false because students can pray at graduations and sporting events.

To Pray or Not to Pray?

Posted by Ginger in Featured Post

 

I have been warning you about the Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA) and their agenda of Transforming the Texas Education System. School Administrators across the state of Texas are spending millions of tax dollars that could be utilized to hire teachers or help students but instead they are funding this  liberal/progressive organization. It is imperative that YOU (children or no children in the school district) get involved  and find out the amount of money your district is spending on TASA and Texas Association of School Boards (TASB).

 CSCOPE, unfortunately laid the foundation for project based learning (PBL) in our Texas schools. TASA now has lessons on I TUNES to help teachers further implement PBL.  The first I Tune lesson I read is titled “A  Question of Faith” which was developed with The Learning Network of the New York Times. (YIKES). The lesson is out of the High School Government course and instructs students to discuss and ultimately decide individually and collectively if prayer should be aloud at an upcoming school event. They also are to engage in other questioning which put students on the spot as to their faith and beliefs.

Below is an excerpt from the lesson where students are perform a school-wide survey regarding other’s opinion on school prayer.

Students are also asked to 

I find this totally unacceptable! GET INVOLVED NOW!!

Below is a snap shot from TASA’s website on their I TUNES online lessons. Believe me this group is not about children they are out to implement and agenda and indoctrinate our kids. They want to TRANSFORM TEXAS EDUCATION with a progressive/marxist ideology.

Governor Perry Vetoes HB 2836, would've taken TEKS School Curriculum Standards from Elected State Board of Education (Texas SBOE)

Gov. Perry Vetoes HB 2836

statement from Governor Rick Perry on veto:

The State Board of Education (SBOE) is responsible for developing the curriculum standards required to be taught in Texas schools. House Bill 2836 has the potential to deemphasize the majority of these important curriculum standards in the classroom, and would also circumvent the responsibilities of the elected SBOE. The SBOE has initiated a process to streamline the scope of the curriculum standards required to be taught in classrooms, addressing concerns about the number of curriculum standards taught and assessed.

Maintaining our rigorous standards is crucial to ensuring Texas students have the fundamental building blocks necessary to succeed in their education and ultimately compete in a global economy.

why this bill was bad from Bob Hall posted on Red Hot Conservative:

HB 2836 - Takes away authority over the curriculum standards (TEKS) from our elected Texas State Board of Education members. If passed this bill allow the Marxists to control what our children are taught.

 

 

Governor Perry Vetoes HB 2824, would've allowed Texas schools to use CSCOPE and Obama Common Core Standards

Gov. Perry Vetoes HB 2824

Statement from Governor Rick Perry regarding the veto of this bill:

Education is changing, and Texas must remain at the forefront of innovation as the digital age evolves. That is why I signed legislation during the 82nd regular session to create the Texas High Performance Schools Consortium. The 23 participating districts are responsible for informing policymakers about methods to improve student learning through digital learning strategies and improved standards and assessments, while relying more on local control of the educational process.

House Bill 2824 would exempt consortium districts, which have shown a range of performance levels on the most recent STAAR assessments, from the Texas accountability system and many of the assessments required of other public schools throughout the state. Flexibility and innovation are important, but we will not compromise academic rigor or student outcomes.

The Texas Commissioner of Education, guided by input from stakeholders and changes in statute by House Bill 5, is developing a new accountability system that will allow districts to innovate without sacrificing important accountability.

The following is why HB 2824 was bad and needed to be vetoed (from Bob Hall Posted at Red Hot Conservative):

HB 2824 - Lets a consortium of so-called “high performing” (mostly mediocre) school districts off the hook in terms of testing and accountability, thus freeing them up to do teaching and learning to whatever goals (E.G. CSCOPE, I-CLOUD or Obama’s Common Core Standards) and standards they choose.
