Once upon a time, schools taught children about the brave founding fathers. They taught kids about the historical bravery and wisdom of Abraham Lincoln. The history books were filled with stories from America’s past that made it clear where we had come from, instilling the values and virtues that conspired to make this the greatest country the world has ever known.
Sadly, those days seem to be behind us. A new bill out of California has just passed a final Assembly vote, encouraging state schools to begin teaching about the historical significance of President Barack Hussein Obama. A curriculum that would theoretically go into effect even before Obama is out of office will, the bill hopes, teach students about 9 wonderful aspects of this significant administration.
Naturally, the bulk of the outlined recommendations are geared towards illuminating the racial context of the 2008 election. Democrat Senator Holly Mitchell says that it’s important for students to learn about “overcoming our nation’s past to elect our first black president.”
The recommendations are outlined as follows:
(a) The election of Barack Hussein Obama to the office of President of the United States was a historic step in the effort towards equality in the United States.
(b) Before the Civil Rights Movement, intimidation and physical violence prevented millions of African Americans from voting and alienated them from the electoral process.
(c) The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a civil rights victory that inspired more ethnic minorities to register to vote and pursue elected office.
(d) Barack Obama attended Harvard Law School where he became the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review.
(e) After law school, Barack Obama worked to fulfill the spirit of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by encouraging people to register to vote.
(f) Barack Obama was first elected to the Illinois State Senate in 1996 and to the United States Senate in 2004.
(g) Senator Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States and first African American President on November 4, 2008, and was sworn in on January 20, 2009.
(h) In honor of his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples, President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
(i) President Obama was reelected on November 6, 2012, and was sworn in for his second term on January 20, 2013.

While I personally think it's a bit premature to start talking up anyone before they have actually finished the job, in the long run it will serve as a good educational tool in the long run.
ReplyDeleteIf the President finishes out his term and all of the investigations currently in process are closed out in his favor, then the high points will be what is mentioned.
If things end up a bit messier and more true to what the real world is like, there will be plenty of sources out there for an inquisitive mind to see both sides and to make their own decision.
If the second possibility is the one that comes to be, the only real loser will be the reputation and credibility of California Assembly, and not a great loss. There are now many examples of former Presidents who have been ldolized in history books past, and have been shown to have not been above various political shenanigans.
While they might not shine with the same luster, their accomplishments are still there to see, and their lapses make them the more human. And perhaps seeing these shortcomings will make some decide they can surpass them. And from those attempts are where greater accomplishments wait.
"While I personally think it's a bit premature to start talking up anyone before they have actually finished the job"
DeleteWhat was the "talking up" part?
Just can't let that stupid excuse die, no matter what, can you?
ReplyDeleteThe brain cell killing excuse that people opposing Obama are only doing it because they're racists.
DeleteThe excuse that, with its own pettiness, mocks the gravity of the Civil Rights movement.
The explanation that excuses your inability or unwillingness to understand your opponents' positions and arguments.
You don't think the opposition to this is at least partly due to racism?
Delete(j) Oct 14th 2011 President Obama ordered a drone strike to kill a 16 year old US citizen in Yemen
ReplyDelete(k) On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama signed a bill that reauthorized key elements of the Patriot Act which violates the rights of all Americans
2008-2015 President Obama willfully violated the Constitution Of The United States and his oath of office numerous times and has yet to be held accountable and likely will not be for his own party believes him a messiah and the GOP the cowards they are well they are just waiting for their next chance to get away with the crimes their next POTUS will commit in cahoots with them...
(j) a blatant lie.
Delete(k) I agree that's a bad thing.
the rest is just more Obama-hate bullshit from you, especially "his own party believes him a messiah."
what part is a lie mike ....he admitted to it...it is a factual event it took place whether you want to accept it or not you cant make the truth go away
Deletethe rest is just more Obama-hate bullshit from you, especially "his own party believes him a messiah."...............As I said before I am ok with what ever you what to call me because I do not expect much from those who lack any kind of objectivity or moral character

All these links prove what I stated above to be true as does the official white house record...........You are the liar Mike continuing to say this did not happen and no one with any integrity is believing you
The 16-year-old was not the target. You said "President Obama ordered a drone strike to kill a 16 year old US citizen."
DeleteThat's a lie. I never said it didn't happen. You can't lie like that and then accuse me of being a liar.
???? MIKE
DeleteYou allow him to insult and lie all the time and even refuse to post my responses when he lies and insults me.
Mike we obviously will never agree on what the truth is in regard to the series of drone strikes in question...can we agree on that?
DeleteFredsamdra your hypocrisy is stunning to the logic minded
DeleteNo, George, we cannot agree to disagree. You were wrong and I was right. The boy was collateral damage, not the target of the strike.
DeleteThanks for proving your stunning logic George, to be factually wrong.
Delete"No, George, we cannot agree to disagree. You were wrong and I was right. The boy was collateral damage, not the target of the strike.".....You go and drink the Kool Aid Mike if it make you happy
DeleteFredsamdra as usual you're speaking out your ass
DeleteGeorge, you're the one drinking the Conservative, Obama.hate kool-aid.
DeleteMike you keep telling yourself that if thats what you need to get through the day..
DeleteThese gun loons just love to blame (hate) Obama.
ReplyDeleteSince when is studying the facts of a presidents actions controversial, or something that should not be done? You gun loons just get irrational about anything
