Deleting American History: Under New Standards, "U.S. Constitution Simply Ignored by Teachers"

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history. […] He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.” – George Orwell, 1984

Common Core and similar corporate-driven efforts to alter education are starting to have some serious consequences.

Rewriting history is a major part of the silent takeover that is and has been underway for some time.

The powers that be are interested in control, not in freedom. That much is understood.

As such, American history – as ugly and bloody as it has been – cannot be told.
 
Knowledge about the U.S. Constitution, the critical Bill of Rights and the revolution for independence are inconvenient facts to the new social engineering.

I swear...

Someone took the last candy bar out and just left the box sitting there. I figured I'd entertain the genius since we're leaving empty boxes out like kids now.  We may as well get a laugh out of it... The boss man didn't quite get the joke... Shocker, I know.

And the sign says, "You gotta have a membership card to get inside"...

I need this...

 

Good eatin', them Reds be some

This morning's early haul...

Special thanks to Big Daddy.  Those are some good filets boy!

Frank E. Petersen Jr., first black Marine aviator, dies

Frank E. Petersen III said his father died Tuesday at his home in Stevensville, on Maryland's Kent Island, of complications from lung cancer. He was 83.

The New York Times reported that Petersen enlisted in the Navy in 1950, two years after President Truman desegregated the armed forces.

The next year, Petersen entered the Naval Aviation Cadet Program, according to The Washington Post.

According to a news release on the Marine Corps website, Petersen was commissioned in the corps in 1952. The Marines say Petersen served in the Korean War in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968. He received the Purple Heart for wounds suffered when he ejected over the demilitarized zone in Vietnam, The Post reported.

During his career, Petersen flew more than 350 combat missions and more than 4,000 hours.
