WHY IB IS UNAMERICAN
http://www.edwatch.org/updates06/040706-IBaq.htm
It's ridiculous. REALLY ridiculous.
read an excerpt from something ELSE on the website!
The Pennsylvania website posts two sample IB exams that reveal the Marxist, multi-cultural and feminist political worldview of the IB curriculum. (These will soon be posted on the EdWatch website.) Sample IB Exam Questions 1 and Sample IB Exam Questions 2.
Excerpts:
This led to an identification with other peoples of color on a global level because of a shared history of victimization by whites. Many of the women did not accept official versions of the terrorists [9/11] as madmen. Their scepticism over the media portrayals offers further evidence of their marginal position as Americans. During such moments in the discussions their position as blacks became the most important characteristic of their cultural identity. One of the women, Stella, hypothesized that being black allowed for greater compassion towards the terrorists than whites would have.
And another:
[However,] the womens role as mothers was even more powerful than their disconnection from America, and challenged it. [] In talking, their frequent self-positioning as mothers was connected to the rejection of violence as a solution to the September 11 attacks. [] One woman, Nadine, said, I noticed that men and women have different views, as far as what we were experiencing, and how it should be handled all the females were like, more killing is not going to make it better. And men were like, the testosterone was on high. [] In her protective maternal role she refused to support Americas war. [However, as the mother of a Marine] she [stated]: I am proud of him. Her role as mother [once again] connected her to America.
Sample questions:
How can the notion of ethnicity be used to promote or control the position of a group in society?
Discuss how honour or shame or purity is used in the exercise of power and authority.
(note from ashley: BECAUSE A QUESTION LIKE THIS, THAT MAKES YOU THINK???? THIS IS TERRIBLE! A TRAVESTY! AMERICAN KIDS SHOUDNT BE THINKING!!!!!! TERRORISTS ARE OUT TO GET US!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!)
One former IB student, now at the Fordham Foundation, wrote the following:
"...literary merit wasn't in the mind of those who created the reading lists in my IB English classes; multiculturalism and gender concerns were. After reading some Shakespeare and Dickens's classic Tale of Two Cities, our dead-white-guy quota was just about full...Some of these books were bad, others were quite good. But those Western classics that form the foundation of our literary canonThe Sun Also Rises, The Grapes of Wrath, The Scarlet Letterwere absent. So, too, the poetry of Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. Literature that had stood the test of time was sacrificed for contemporary works that addressed immediate cultural or feminist struggles. The absence of Western classics is not merely frustrating; it's a serious and inexcusable omission that deprives students of an essential piece of cultural currency. And it's particularly disgraceful to forgo teaching such important works because of dubious diversity concerns. This was not the core knowledge I had been promised."
HAH! Funny thing is... its done by the school... BECAUSE WE FUCKING READ THE SUN ALSO RISES AND THE SCARLET LETTER!!!!!!! This is ridiculous that you would complain, because if you paid attention one second, you would realize its the teachers who decide. WE READ 2/3 BOOKS THAT YOU WERE BITCHING ABOUT BEING ABSENT FROM YOUR CURRICULM.
AND FUCKING DUH!!!! THE PROGRAM IS "INTERNATIONAL".... IB! Did you fucking read that>? What kind of education did you think you would get?!?!? Focus on America?! If allllllll of the courses are supposed to be similar....... DO YOU THINK THE KIDS IN SWAHILI ARE GOING TO FOCUS ON AMERICAN CULTURE?! Obviously you shouldnt have joined an INTERNATIONAL education program if you didnt want to learn INTERNATIONAL, MULTICULTURAL things@?!!?
American kids should not be thinking! DESTROYING OUT CULTURE !! And isnt it TERRIBLE if we allow ANY aspect of feminism to be discussed.
I'm so annoyed and disgusted I dont know where to start.
Learning about other cultures almost as much as your own is TERRIBLE. CHRIST MAN! WHAT THE FUCK IS SO TERRIBLE ABOUT LEARNING ABOUT OTHER CULTURES! THATS WHAT LEARNING IS ABOUT! INTELLIGENCE, AND EDUCATION!! FUCK! WHAT IS FUCKING WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?!?!?! Or other ideas??? Whats wrong about laerning about the ideology of communism, or Marxism, or what the fuck ever?!?!!? WHATS WRONG WITH THE HUMAN RIGHTS DOCTRINE?!?!!?
