Yesterday John Hinderaker at Power Line Blog<\/a> posted an article about the draft publication of the Minnesota social studies standards. The standards are available for public comment. The article cites information found in an article at the Center of the American Experiment website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article at Power Line Blog reports:<\/p>\n

WORLD\/U.S. HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are several key pieces of our world and nation\u2019s history that are missing when compared with the 2011 social studies standards.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Missing Benchmarks<\/strong><\/p>\n

* World War I\u2014benchmarks on the social, political and economic causes of the war; nations involved, major political and military figures, key battles; political impact (including formation of the League of Nations)<\/strong><\/p>\n

* World War II\u2014benchmarks on the social, political and economic causes of the war, and main turning points; nations involved, major political and military figures, key battles; timeline of key events leading to WWII<\/strong><\/p>\n

* The Holocaust (including references to the Nazi regime and Jews)<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Rise and effects of communism and socialism; Communist Revolution<\/strong><\/p>\n

* American Revolution\u2014benchmarks on timeline of the major events and turning points of the revolution, including the involvement of other nations and the reasons for American victory; identifying historically significant people during the period of the revolution (Examples: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Elizabeth Freeman)<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Civil War\u2014benchmarks on timeline of the key events of the war; causes of the war; major political and military events; main ideas of the debate over slavery and states\u2019 rights and how they resulted in major political compromises and ultimately war<\/strong>
\n***<\/strong><\/p>\n

I need someone to explain to me how you can teach WWII without teaching about the Holocaust, Nazis, and Jews.<\/p>\n

These are just a few examples from the article. Please follow the link to read the entire article. It offers insight as to the reasons our children don’t understand the freedom and heritage they have in America and why many are willing to trade that freedom for the slavery of socialism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
