LET'S BRIEF OPS BOARD MEMBERS ABOUT THIS RADICAL, 'GLOBAL CITIZEN' JUNK Still sad about the Omaha Public Schools board voting in the International Baccalaureate program for Central High School and Lewis and Clark Middle School. Here are dozens of articles explaining the roots in the United Nations of IB, and how it is part and parcel of the movement to internationalize school curricula. So much for local control! So much for the locally-elected school boards having any say-so whatsoever. In the process, any hope of teaching the next generations the facts about American exceptionism would be crushed. It is alarming and distressing that the board of the largest school district in the state doesn't understand this. Here's hoping OPS school board members will educate themselves, revisit the IB vote, and reverse themselves: http://www.eagleforum.org/search/?cx=017031022027986382240%3Afh-fsvzotas&cof=FORID%3A9&q=International+Baccalaureate#848 Labels: criticism of International Baccalaureate, database about IB (1) comments
