14 Wacky "Facts" Kids Will Learn in Louisiana's Voucher Schools
Slave masters were nice guys: “A few slave holders were undeniably cruel. Examples of slaves beaten to death were not common, neither were they unknown. The majority of slave holders treated their slaves well.” - United States History for Christian Schools, 2nd ed. Bob Jones University Press, 1991
The KKK was A-OK: “[The Ku Klux] Klan in some areas of the country tried to be a means of reform, fighting the decline in morality and using the symbol of the cross. Klan targets were bootleggers, wife-beaters, and immoral movies. In some communities it achieved a certain respectability as it worked with politicians.” - United States History for Christian Schools, 3rd ed. Bob Jones University Press, 2001
The Great Depression wasn’t as bad as the liberals made it sound: “Perhaps the best known work of propaganda to come from the Depression was John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath… Other forms of propaganda included rumors of mortgage foreclosures, mass evictions, and hunger riots and exaggerated statistics representing the number of unemployed and homeless people in America. - United States History: Heritage of Freedom, 2nd ed. A Beka Book, 1996
OUTFUCKINGSTANDING! The Idiocracy is thriving!!!
Why are they working so hard to perpetuate the Dumb Southern Hick typecasting? Odd.
oh how lovely. conservatives are sneaky and sly as fuck. even if they aren’t intelligent, they sure as fuck are evil and good at it. taking control of the school’s after Hurricane Katrina, expelling residents, turning public schools to charter through vouchers. So why not brainwash and lie to the children once they are forced to attend our shitty (but supposedly better?) charter schools. -_- that quote about not letting those who hate you educate your children by Malcolm X is coming to mind but the sad thing is they make it so damn hard to avoid.
Fucking hell.
