The kids are alright.
Hundreds of Colorado high school students, along with their teachers and parents, staged a walk-out yesterday, spanning at least seven high schools in the Jefferson County School District to protest a planned whitewashing and manipulation of their curriculum and history classes by a conservative school board beholden to the Koch brothers' political and social agenda. Students from Arvada, Evergreen, Ralston, Pomona, Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, Chatfield and other schools walked out of their classrooms to join the protests, following one organized by the teachers themselves last Friday, as described and detailed in these Recommended Diaries.
ARVADA, Colo. — A new conservative school board majority here in the Denver suburbs recently proposed a curriculum-review committee to promote patriotism, respect for authority and free enterprise and to guard against educational materials that “encourage or condone civil disorder.” In response, hundreds of students, teachers and parents gave the board their own lesson in civil disobedience.
The proposal, which specifically subjects the schools' history coursework to a "review" by the Republican-dominated Board, has not yet been voted on and was put on hold last week in light of the outcry it has spawned. Yesterday the students, organized on their own through social media and word-of-mouth, had their say in the matter:
On Tuesday, hundreds of students from high schools across the Jefferson County school district, the second largest in Colorado, streamed out of school and along busy thoroughfares, waving signs and championing the value of learning about the fractious and tumultuous chapters of American history.this indoctrination attempt is spreading through red states and if we let them in maybe your state, they are trying to turn our future our children into stepford kids, read that curriculum again they are suggesting that there be no individual thought to resistance to their agenda they want the next generation to follow without question literally killing democracy and the will of the people. if you think it's just high schooler's being brain washed think again.

we know their God has a whole other agenda then our God.
these people are dangerous and that's no joke if we hand them the keys we are not going back in the ditch we aren't going anywhere but to work for them under their conditions with mindless abandon not free to do anything because freedom will only belong to them just as the country and your rights are now, unless we show them our grit Nov. 4th be there and care.
