Thread: George Washington Was An Illegal Alien

Let me offer a George Orwell quote which is most appropriate in response:

'For a creative writer possession of the "truth" is less important than emotional sincerity.'

'For a creative writer possession of the "truth" is less important than emotional sincerity.'

That is a great and very appropraite quote PhredE!

AlturaCt:

Hey, thanks! George O. had some real humdinger quotes. I like to lay some on people whenever possible and that one really seemed to fit the bill.

Thanks for all your input and comments around here.

Good Day,

PhredE here's a quote from Mark Twain, "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story".


Someone should complain about that teacher, she is undermining the values of some of those kid's parents.

andyt:

Right on! I like that one too! I've heard it, but it's been a while...
so true though...

I think the teacher is even worse than you suggest - teach doesn't even have the facts straight. It's propaganda based in unreality.

I think that teacher should read the Constitution aloud to the class and eat crow, when she gets to the requirements to become President.

Better yet, print off a copy and send it to school with your kid. Kids love to make the teacher look stupid.

Great idea! Hey Wavtek, have you done that yet? sent a copy of facts with your child to the teacher?

Kids love to make the teacher look stupid.

And, teachers really hate it when they are proven wrong by a student. If you get a call from school because your kid "talked back to a teacher" and got sent to the principal's office try not to laugh too much when you go get your kid.

I would have been in the School office the next day. This teacher should be fired. If for nothing else the fact that she teaching wrong information to the students.

Most of the class said, because they were born here. The teacher pointed out that if that was the definition of an American, then George Washington and the other founding fathers weren't Americans, because they weren't born here, they were illegal aliens from England.

This is the education our students are getting from our public (taxpayer supported) schools. I only wish I could afford to send my son to a private school.

WavTeck,
Tell your son to tell his teacher that at that time this country needed people, and that that people came here to make out of this country what it is today. That those people coming now find everything on a silver platter for them, that those people are coming to destroy what the first people built up.
