Welcome to the Caste System

[CuteOldGuy]

The US is developing a caste system. Government schools will be training "workers" while the elite will get to go to private schools where they can get a real education in the arts, literature and science. I'm sure I'll get a few "the sky is falling" responses, but do you realize how horrific this is? We are already developing a "ruling class". Hillary Clinton will likely run for President in 2016, Michelle Obama is being considered for a Senate seat in Illinois, George P. Bush is being groomed for office, as is Chelsea Clinton. We're going to be seeing Bushes, Clintons and Obamas for decades.

We will have a permanent ruling class, and a permanent working class, if the government has their way. And who is part of the cabal behind this? Bill Gates. May God strike me down if I ever buy another Windows product.

Here's the article:

American literature classics are to be replaced by insulation manuals and plant inventories in US classrooms by 2014.

A new school curriculum which will affect 46 out of 50 states will make it compulsory for at least 70 per cent of books studied to be non-fiction, in an effort to ready pupils for the workplace.

Books such as JD Salinger's Catcher in the Rye and Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird will be replaced by "informational texts" approved by the Common Core State Standards.

Suggested non-fiction texts include Recommended Levels of Insulation by the the US Environmental Protection Agency, and the Invasive Plant Inventory, by California's Invasive Plant Council.

The new educational standards have the backing of the influential National Governors' Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers, and are being part-funded by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Jamie Highfill, a teacher at Woodland Junior High School in Arkansas, told the Times that the directive was bad for a well-rounded education. "I'm afraid we are taking out all imaginative reading and creativity in our English classes. "In the end, education has to be about more than simply ensuring that kids can get a job. Isn't it supposed to be about making well-rounded citizens?"

Supporters of the directive argue that it will help pupils to develop the ability to write concisely and factually, which will be more useful in the workplace than a knowledge of Shakespeare.

English newspapers are notorious for making up outlandish stories that do not have a shred of truth to them. In the world of journalism they have little respect. If you want to post one of these stories as truth don't expect any to believe your post

Louie, you should know by now that these dudes spend all day looking for outrageous shit to cut and paste. They never consider the source, but just try and support their negative, anti-American agenda.

Yes i can, but i wanted to keep it plain and simple. I could have said something like fuck you ,you stupid cum drinkin cocksucker, but i decided not to....lol

I was right...

Actually this was written about in the 1920s and Louis is blowing smoke out of his ass again. England has harsher and more liberal slander laws than the US. You print something that can be proven false and you get sued. Why do you think celebrities take their law suits to England? The trick is that you have to print something that can't be proven false so English reporters have to be creative.

If we go communist, I am all for it as long as I can have my Dacha on the Volga.
If we fall into a Caste System, I will settle for no less than the status of a Bhramin or Kshatryin.

See, it works just fine, as long as I can be on top.

As long as I am not in the Chaste System I am ok
