Indeed, kellychaos, indeed. I finally broke my state chain in 2002 and have felt better than I ever have. Odd how the 'greatest nation in the world' doesn't really see the need in searching over countries. Oh wait, we're all fucking retarded, that's why.

Probably because that so-called Critical Thinking would make the parents feel inferior and instead of actually trying to learn something, would instead try to gain superiority within the realm of religion. In fact, this whole creationism bullshit is the Baby Boomers screaming about how they don't know has much as their kids know now and feel the need to somehow rejustify their existence now that they're all headed into senileville. Your mileage may vary, however.

It still has a lower rate of divorce though. So I recommend that in order to save the judeo-christian institute of marriage from the homo invasion, it become a matter of arranged marriages.

See how a multicultural solution can help with moral domestic problmes?

Your point stands, though. You can't look at a culture from the outside and pass judgement on it with your own customs as reference point.

Emu What is it with people and thinking that kids are utterly retarded robots? Well, I guess that is the fault of the school, but besides that, kids really do think about what they're learning. I imagine the kids who are intelligent and dedicated enough to enroll in the IB at all probably have the critical reasoning facilities to see the faults in some of the things that are being taught.

And about the forced marriage thing: Try asking an Indian woman if she feels oppressed because of it. My sociology teacher was a woman who immigrated from India, and she said that very few people argue with forced marriage over there because it just works for the society, because they don't marry for the same reasons we in the West do. We marry for love (which was an utterly foreign concept to her), they marry for economic stability.

ziggytrix So how should they teach it, Dreaddi?

Class, turn to chapter 3. Billy, I'd like you to read from Section 1: On the Evils of Multicultarlism, please.

Don't forget Friday we'll have a quiz on the moral failings of Islam.

dreaddi OAO is very right. THe IB teaches multiculturalism in a way that is too accepting. This is the same sort of set of mind that causes problems like forced marriage and the discriminating way women are being treated by their families and other people from their country when they come to live in a western country (discriminating still being a severe understatement of what is really going on). Noone realizes this, or at least chooses not to look when it is going on in front of their very eyes, and I think this is to a great part due to the overly accepting attitude of the EU towards immigrants and subsequent multiculturalism.
I don't know what it's like in the US... but I imagine it to be just as serious a problem in the other European countries as it is here.

The petition gives seven reasons why the program's elimination is needed, one of them being that "the International Baccalaureate rejects the Judeo-Christian values held by the majority of families in our district and instead promotes the atheistic Secular Humanist principles of multiculturalism, pacifism, one-world government, and moral relativism."

Motive or agenda aside, why are school districts so dead set on promoting education that reflects only local values? I mean, I know that they pay the taxes for local schools but shouldn't their interests be that the student receive a universal, well-rounded education that promotes critical analysis? How can you compete with your world counter-parts when you don't even know them?

Helm raize I think there might be some other trivial matters that would stand in the way of an one-world goverment, even if John hadn't put that in. Like the possibility of total war.

You're likely to find a dumbass for or against any issue. What point are you trying to make?

Raize The only reason fundamentalist Christianity is against a one-world government is because they know that in order to get one, they'd have to establish a world religion, and Revelations talks about how if one is accepted, it's the end times. Thank God that the disciple John smoked weed on Patmos and put that in there, or we'd have had a one-world government long ago.

And yeah, I consider myself a Christian. Not a fundamentalist one, though.

Emu I've noticed a lot of school maps and geography books tend to either not present a picture of the entire world (as opposed to sections at a time) or are fashioned to/deal with topics that make America look bigger and better. One of my highschool teachers had an economic output map that sized the countries according to their output. Most of Europe and Japan were huge, but America covered nearly the entire page.
May 16th, 2005 06:22 PM
ItalianStereotype we're still the third largest country in the world :o
May 16th, 2005 06:15 PM
Chojin The sentiment that America is the best country in the world is definitely taught to you in school. Every time I look at a world map, I keep getting blown away by how small America is in comparison to other countries, because the majority of our school maps either didn't include them or didn't include both.

Cosmo Electrolux I knew he was a cock smoker, but he's really gay???
May 16th, 2005 01:22 PM
AChimp It's not. He's just upset that we stopped responding to his "I think I'm gay" thread.
May 16th, 2005 12:39 PM
Emu I think what he was trying to say is that multiculturalism can be bad because some cultural values just don't mix, like horny Muslim men and Norwegian skanks. But I still don't see how it's relevant.
May 16th, 2005 11:35 AM
Helm haha yes, that was irrelevant, oao
May 16th, 2005 05:16 AM
FS I'm afraid I must agree with OAO here.
