Unreal… New 8th Grade English Textbooks Now Contain 15 Page Section on Obama!
This is getting really freaky.
The hard Left is already pumping out massive Obama indoctrination material in 8th grade textbooks. Maybe this was part of the Bill Ayers education plan? 8th grade students in Racine, Wisconsin are now using textbooks that contain a 15 page section on Barack Obama. Note: No Hillary, No McCain, No Palin, No Bush… Just Obama! This is beyond freaky. Real Debate Wisconsin reported:
My 8th grade son is in an advanced English class at a public middle school here in Racine, Wisconsin. I just found out that my son’s new (copyright 2008) Wisconsin – McDougal Littell Literature book has 15 pages covering Barack Obama.
I was shocked – No John McCain, no Hillary Clinton, no George Bush – Just Barack Obama. I’m wondering how it is that Obama’s story gets put into an 8th grade literature book? It would be one thing, if it was just the tidbit about his boyhood days, but 15 pages, and they talk about his “Life of Service”. Honestly, what has Obama really done to be included in this book? Not only that, but on page 847 there is a photo of Obama at the 2004 Democratic Convention with at least 8 Obama signs in the background! Front & center is an www.obama2004.com sign.
Now I understand that many teachers are liberals, but does the school have the right to shove Obama down our kid’s throats? All the kids grouped together and read the story. After that, they discussed it… I guess it appears that Obama is planning ahead. If he doesn’t get his coveted Presidency, Obama is going to make sure, that the younger generations know all about him, and his “life of service”.
If you would like to see the 15 page story on Obama, it appears that you can order this book online. There is a note in the book that says, For more on Barack Obama, visit the Literature Center at www.ClassZone.com The book is: Wisconsin – 8th grade – McDougal Littell Literature – copyright 2008. The Obama story starts on page 830. I hope you will take the time to look at this book. I’m really angry about this – In fact, I would love to rip the pages right out of this book.

I’d have to ask, did this book include Washington’s First Inaugural Address, Washington’s Farewell Address, Patrick Henry’s Liberty or Death ( complete rather than shortened version ; my bet would be, no this book would only push a certain socialist agenda.
The gumption of these folks is a mockery to our way of life.
I’d advise this parent to give closer attention to the book itself. While the Obama insert is blatant, the textbook itself is far more cleverly disguised propaganda, per this scholarly study of the “2000 edition of McDougal Littell’s grade 11 anthology on American literature, a volume in one of the three leading anthology series for grades 7 to 12 in the country.”
The Negative Influence of Education Schools on the K-12 Curriculum
And speaking of the influence of the Ed Schools, let’s not forget one of their brightest lights: unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers:
The Ed Schools’ Latest—and Worst—Humbug
Thats what happens when the schools are run by the NEA and the unions all run by the left
The book in question is an English book. The article in question is a speech Obama gave during the 2004 National convention. It is used as part of a lesson plan on how to write a good speech. I guess they used his speech because it was well-written. My guess is as good as those who are going to immediately come to the half-baked conclusion that Obama (or Bill Ayers) had something to do with this.
I expected more from you, America.
It emphasizes the need for all conservatives to rally behind a third party candidate who wants the federal gov’t out of the schools rather than the two mainstream parties which both think we need to spend more federal tax dollars in the schools.
Robert says “It emphasizes the need for all conservatives to rally behind a third party candidate” NOT
Thats a vote for obama fool! (ò¿ó)
My kids would be out of that school so fast it would make their heads swim. Then I would bring a lawsuit against the school just to bring it everyone’s attention.
“Then I would bring a lawsuit against the school just to bring it everyone’s attention.”
On what terms? How could you justify it? Did you even bother to figure out WHY he’s in a textbook, or did you just react with a typical American kneejerk reaction?

John,
So, of aaaaaaall of the speeches ever given in the history of the United States, the best one they can find is one by Obama. In an election year. In which Obama is running for President.
Asinine.
And a lame excuse from you, to boot.
“So, of aaaaaaall of the speeches ever given in the history of the United States, the best one they can find is one by Obama. In an election year. In which Obama is running for President.”
Correlation fallacy. Logically, one has nothing to do with the other. It is you who is making the connection.
On that note, I have seen no evidence that this book was printed in an election year. It is you who made that assumption. The burden of proof lies on you.
John,
John,
The connection is one of smoke and fire. If you’re not able to see suspicious coincidence, then there isn’t much point in talking to you.
In any event, it’s funny how this book comes out in an election year, isn’t it? Just amazing.
Of course, you’d have no problem at all if it were a McCain speech, would you? You’d defend the coincidence theory of yours just as strongly?
“Of course, you’d have no problem at all if it were a McCain speech, would you?”
Boy, if I had a nickel for everyone who’s said that to me today…
“You’d defend the coincidence theory of yours just as strongly?”
I am not posing a theory. I am using logic. Believing that correlation necessitates causation is a logical fallacy. You may not like it, but that does not make me any less right.
And for the record, I’m a libertarian who doesn’t like either major candidate.
John,
The entire justice system is built upon reasonability: reasonable doubt, reasonable suspicion, reasonable justification.
You keep saying that there is no reasonable suspicion surrounding the appearance of Obama’s in this textbook in an election year. You cite the excuse that it was chosen because it was a good speech, despite the fact that there are better speeches, given by more famous figures in our history.
That’s unreasonable.
“The entire justice system is built upon reasonability: reasonable doubt, reasonable suspicion, reasonable justification.”
I’ll say it again, so pay attention this time: Believing that correlation necessitates causation is a logical fallacy. In the end, you very well may be right, that the book coming out this year was indeed part of a left-wing master plan. (Of course, you would still be ignoring my request for the proof that the book indeed came out this year, but since you are ignoring my request, I guess I will too.) Even if, in the future, all of your baseless claims turn out to be spot on, that does not change the fact that this is the present, nothing has been proven, and (drum roll): Believing that correlation necessitates causation is a logical fallacy.
Now, moving on:
“You cite the excuse that it was chosen because it was a good speech, despite the fact that there are better speeches, given by more famous figures in our history.”
My “excuse” was a guess, nothing more; I even used the word “guess”. I base my opinion on nothing, nor do I claim to. I would have no way of backing it up. Now, on to your “fact”. You claim that it is a “fact” that better speeches exist. How do you plan on displaying this fact of better speeches to us? Is there a proven way of ranking speeches that I am currently unaware of? You are trying to factualize an OPINION. Good luck on that.
So, since you have no factual or logical basis for your rebuttal on either point, I consider this discussion over.
You need to add the NBRA to your resources.
I do enjoy reading this blog.
“african american” voting for McCain
Heh, poor John. I can see you in the zoo:
“Look, I know that it’s big and gray; that it has a trunk, tusks, and big ears, but we don’t have absolute proof that it’s an elephant. After all, it could be a parrot, or an antelope. Believing that it’s an elephant is a logical fallacy.”
Left-brain thinking run amok.
