Lady Liberty 1885<\/a> posted a story today about Tanner Glenn, who is running Richard Nixon’s<\/a> campaign for the NC General Assembly<\/a> in Johnston county. Richard Nixon is a history teacher at Corinth High School. Lady Liberty notes that one can view Nixon\u2019s\u00a0\u201cPlanet History\u201d page at Corinth High School here<\/a>, but Nixon has conveniently moved his lectures linked on that page to a \u201cGoogle classroom\u201d that only students can access. Tanner Glenn is one of his former students.<\/p>\n

The problem here is something called APUSH<\/a> (Advanced Placement U. S. History), a revised American history course that paints Americans as oppressors, racists, and all sorts of other negative things. Mr. Nixon is a member of the NEA, the NCAE and OAH<\/a> \u2014 one of the groups who heavily influenced the controversial re-write of APUSH.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post<\/a> did a piece on Richard Nixon’s political campaign and his campaign manager on January 11 and stated the following:<\/p>\n

Glenn grew up in a Republican family and considered himself a Republican for most of his life; he interned for the North Carolina GOP<\/a> when he was 16.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then he took Nixon\u2019s class, he said, and though Glenn never knew his teacher\u2019s political leanings, the experience pushed him to think more deeply about his own political beliefs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…And in that way, the teacher turned history into a series of stories about real people to whom Glenn could relate. He particularly admired Theodore Roosevelt<\/a> for his efforts to establish national parks and bust monopolies to force fair competition among businesses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The summer after taking Nixon\u2019s class, Glenn volunteered for the state Democratic Party<\/a>, and he found he agreed with the view that government can and should play a significant role in addressing social problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He went on to found a Teen Democrats chapter in Johnston County<\/a>, where he impressed local party leaders, and he has remained involved in party politics as a college student.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that Glenn learned that “the government can and should play a significant role in addressing social problems.” Did he learn about enumerated powers in his history class? Article 1 Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution<\/a> limits the powers of Congress<\/a>. Amendment 10 states “The powers not delegated to the United States<\/a> by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”<\/p>\n

This is a very sad example of a student being brainwashed by a charismatic teacher. It is a shame that the teacher did not bother to include the concept of limited government in his lesson plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
