Texas 6th graders design flags for a new socialist nation

As a teacher and citizen, I always questioned that slogan, " Think globally, act locally" or something very similar that
I saw boldly hanging in a lower grade classroom (3rd grade? 4th?).  I was appalled when I first saw it and mentally
questioned its purpose but wasn't aware and familiar enough with it to make outright objections, let alone make waves. 
Now I can see that it is just another form of indoctrination into accepting the NWO, much like the International Baccalaureate Program, although I'm not too familiar with that either.  Just say that I am familiar enough with it to be
very, very suspicious.

 

Texas 6th graders design flags for a new socialist nation

AUSTIN – You know America is changing when leftists have even infiltrated Texas schools.



According to the website txcscopereview.com, a lesson plan for 6^th graders in government schools reads as follows:

Notice socialist/communist nations use symbolism on their flags representing various aspects of their economic system. Imagine a new socialist nation is creating a flag and you have been put in charge of creating a flag. Use symbolism to represent aspects of socialism/communism on your flag. What kind of symbolism/colors would you use?

Texas legislators looked none too kindly on this revelation as they questioned the curriculum’s creators at a recent hearing.
The Star-Telegram reports:
 

“Members of the Senate Education Committee on Thursday grilled the creators of a curriculum system used across Texas that critics say promotes anti-American values and stifles classroom flexibility.

“Committee Chairman Dan Patrick, R-Houston, called it ‘a mess.’ One witness compared the system to “mind control,” and an algebra teacher wept as he described quitting because he felt he was ‘aiding and abetting a crime’ by using CSCOPE in his classroom.

“CSCOPE is an electronic curriculum management system that offers Web-based lesson plans and exams designed to help teachers adhere to state education requirements. It is used in 875 school districts — more than 70 percent of districts statewide — and is supposed to be flexible enough for teachers to alter content to meet their individual needs.

“A string of witnesses before the Senate Education Committee criticized the program for promoting liberal values they said are anti-Christian at best and openly socialist at worst.

“They also complained that it is hard for nonteachers to get a look at the program.

…

“[Educrat Wade] Lebay was even asked to read part of a sixth-grade lesson plan that showed different countries’ flags and instructed students to ‘notice that socialist and communist countries use symbolism on their flags’” It went on to ask students what symbols they would use if they were to create a flag for a new socialist country.

First-term Sen. Larry Taylor, R-Friendswood, asked, ‘Does that sound like we’re sympathizing with those types of countries?’ He later said he found the lesson plan ‘very egregious as a Texan and an American.’
