You do not get more radical than this list - a cut and paste from the NEA official website. Every book on this list is about effecting radicalized
change rather than teaching the art of working within accepted norms. The list quantifies social rebellion in the name of the NEA. If your kids are not reading this crap, they are being taught by people who are radically opposed to the historicity of this great country. If you, as a teacher and disagree with this depiction, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Not one of these authors were/are partners of the US Constitution, its form of representative democracy or an allegiance to a political force that is anything but global in scope and One World in concept. Why do we constantly read of teachers and school administrations scraping the Pledge of Allegiance? Why is the teaching of the Constitution given so little emphasis - to the point that our graduating secondary students have no clue as to any detail of the Constitution. Why are the founding fathers disgraced in our classrooms, over and over again? Why is the notion of American Exceptionalism a matter of ridicule. Why is individual responsibility played down and "competition" a dirty word? Your children sit in classrooms you are not allowed to attend . They are given lectures you are not permitted to record. They use text books filled with attacks on the very things you believe and you have no say over their use . . . on YOUR children. Why the constant assault against religion, especially Christianity? Because what I say is true and it all comes from the top. The NEA is part of a movement intentionally designed to steal your children's heritage and move them into a world you actually oppose. The NEA is part of the enemy of our future. Time for this bunch of Marxist Misfits to go.
