Saint Paul, MN — Minnesota Senate Republicans today detailed a series of suggested improvements for the new social studies standards originally proposed by the Dayton Administration’s Minnesota Department of Education.
In a letter to the Department, Senate Republicans suggested a number of “pro-America reforms,” including:
- Replace the term “social studies” with “Exceptional America Studies”
- Substitute President’s Day observances with Reagan Day observances
- Note that the Laffer Curve is an irrefutable Natural Law
- Utilize Fox News viewing as the centerpiece of current affairs units
- Strike the cumbersome words “a well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state…” from the Second Amendment worksheets
- Move discussion of FDR’s New Deal into the Communism unit
- Remove mention of any Presidents who have failed to supply birth certificates that meet Donald Trump’s approval
- Utilize Lone Ranger episodes to prove how well Tonto and his friends were treated by real Americans
- Strike any mention of the fringy Founding Fathers’ advocacy of religious pluralism
- Ensure that all materials not only note that God has blessed America, but that God is American
- Add some awesome Toby Keith lyrics to spice things up
“We’re trying very hard to be constructive,” the letter noted. “The Department’s originally proposed ‘standards’ completely failed to adequately acknowledge the contributions of the United States and our economic and political ideals, so we expect the Department to immediately prove it is pro-America by adopting our improvements.”
Thank GOD, that the Republicans are finally moving on to addressing social studies after all with textbooks like “When Science Fails” has already been “proven” to resolve those pesky, misguided egghead theorists that dared to question anything.
From Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) textbook – When Science Fails :
Casting “common people” with common ideas as heroes standing up to scornful scientists, this short book directly attacks the ideas that science has all the answers and that science could ever prove the Bible false.”
“When Science Fails presents the Bible as totally accurate and science as a process of trial-and-error riddled by human frailty …. this short book will reinforce the message that science will never contradict the Bible, and “true science” is simply one way to gain information about the world.
Unfortunately, too few of Minnesota schools (only 26) that may be following the “right” education program as offered by A.C.E. —
Accelerated Christian Education has maintained high Biblical and academic standards and remained committed to setting children on a path for success. The goal is the same today: to prepare children for the world today and give them the academic and spiritual tools necessary to achieve their God-given potential. On the surface, most schools look alike—buildings, personnel, curriculum, and budgets. The A.C.E. program is different. For over 40 years, it has been the trendsetter in Biblical educational reform. Its philosophy is built on basic principles of the Word of God. Students are taught to see life from God’s point of view, to take responsibility for their own learning, and to walk in Godly wisdom and character. Accelerated Christian Education® is not just a publisher but a comprehensive Bible-based program that serves both the campus-based school and the homeschool.
