Meet Bill Bigelow

If you ever decide to peruse any of the history books your kid brings home from school or ask your child what they learned about Christopher Columbus, you may be in for a bit of a shock. Kids today are being taught that Columbus was one bad dude and caused many an indigenous culture to disappear by systematic genocide or assimilation. But, it goes further than that. Like a thief in the night, people in our nation's school system is attempting to rewrite our history and indoctrinate our children.

Many say that each generation of our country picks up a cause to champion, such as the war on poverty, AIDS and social justice among others. These people are of the opinion that social causes are exclusive to the Democrat party and Republicans always turn their noses up when anyone mentions taking up a social cause; yet these people never mention that former president, George W. Bush pumped more money into Africa than any president in US history. Nor do they do some simple research to discover that the Republican party shoved through civil rights legislation in 1964, when Democrats made every attempt to stymie it. On a final note, these people for social justice always blow right past the origins of racism in the first place.

So, what happened? Who is behind the curtain trying to rewrite American history or much worse, trying to expunge much of it?

Well, there are many. But, one person I want you to meet is a friend of William Ayers and a contributor to Barack Obama's campaign and his name is Bill Bigelow. This guy is a real peach and is one of the big proponents of social justice, who encourages his students to walk in the shoes of the oppressed. He admits that it's "a subversive act in some respects because it is not always encouraged by the curriculum." Well, at least he admits it.

His curriculum exploits past mistakes made by America and glosses over and omits any accomplishments. By doing so, he is indoctrinating young minds in the hopes that they will fundamentally change the foundation of America's history in the future.

And they are very patient.

David Horowitz of the California based Freedom Center states this about social justice:

"'social justice' teaching is shorthand for opposition to American traditions of individual justice and free-market economics...it also teaches that American society is an inherently 'oppressive' society that is 'systemically' racist, 'sexist,' and 'classist' and thus discriminates institutionally against women, nonwhites, working Americans, and the poor."

Bill Bigelow's website, Rethinking Schools advocates that teachers take a hard left approach to teaching, particularly when dealing with such topics as the Iraq war and the war on terrorism. He also encourages math teachers to show Michael Moore's propaganda film Fahrenheit 9/11, when discussing it.

Another person, by the name of Howard Zinn advocates social justice by urging teachers to prioritize social justice over political neutrality:

"The first thing teachers have to do is make a decision for themselves that they will not be obedient in staying within the boundaries that are usually set by the principals, school administrators, and parent-teacher associations. The teacher has to make a decision right from the start that 'I am not here just to prepare these students to pass tests so they can move ahead and become successful and take their dutiful place in society.'"

Now you know who is behind the indoctrination of our children and how they are taught to hate America and rewrite its history.
