A Texas Mom was so “horrified” by what her child’s
kindergarten teacher said that she is planning on home-schooling her
daughter after Christmas break.
And it should chill other parents to the core — Common Core,
that is.
Cassidy Vines recently began noticing a change in her
daughter’s behavior. The kindergartner began to “snap” at her mother when
she tried correcting the little girl’s homework. “She told me
that I was her mommy, not her teacher.”
Mrs. Vines, in a stunning interview on Glenn Beck’s radio
program, said that a few days after her daughter first snapped at her, she
started pronouncing a word incorrectly. Vines corrected her daughter “in the
most gentle way possible,” but her daughter broke down crying, saying “that’s
how she was taught, and I can’t tell her something different because I’m a
mommy, not a teacher.”
Horrified, she asked her daughter, “Is somebody
telling you this at school?”
“She said, ‘Yes, I’m only allowed to learn from my
teacher,’” Vines remarked.
As recounted on TheBlaze,
Vines requested to meet with the teacher several times, but said she never got
a response.
So she went to her routine parent-teacher conference
“armed with a slew of questions,” hoping her daughter had misunderstood what
was being said at school.
Vines said she explained what was happening, and kept
waiting for the teacher to deny it, but it never happened.
“[The teacher] goes on to tell me that they try to
discourage parents from introducing contradictory concepts to ‘our’ children,”
Vines said. “Our children. As in the school’s children? I was a little
baffled. And so when I started talking about my daughter, I emphasized
mydaughter. So I asked her, ‘Am I not allowed to help her with her
homework?’”
Vines was shocked when the teacher responded that no,
they “don’t want parents confusing the kids.”
It got worse. Much worse:
Vines wrote on Glenn Beck’s Facebook wall about the
incident, sharing how, in the same parent-teacher conference, the teacher
said in front of several parents that the pilgrims were “essentially
America’s first terrorists.”
Unbelievable.
“I don’t even know what to say about this,” Beck said. “I
get so uptight about this stuff. This is the stuff that enrages me.”
Beck saluted Vines for making the decision to home-school
her daughter, but asked how much longer parents will even have the option to
home-school. Beck said this was approaching “Hitler Youth stuff.”
Islamic
indoctrination. Spying
on their parents’ medicine cabinets. And now excluding parents entirely
from the teaching process? This is your nation’s educational system on Common
Core.
