In the current climate of promoting diversity, multiculturalism and similar ideas in all aspects of American culture, a program is currently being used in many public schools to advocate social change. The name of the program is Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity or SEED, and its teachings promote cultural egalitarianism and the acceptance of homosexuality as a sexual minority. Through its National SEED Project, the organization seeks to transform the views of both teachers and students in K-12, to effect SEED’s idea of enlightened social change. The program was begun in 1987 and has been training teachers across America in aspects of culture and belief systems which reflect anti-Americanism, victim status for minority groups, anti-Christian values and the normalization of homosexuality as a “sexual culture”.

SEED promotes victim status for minority groups by creating two discrete groups of Americans – the oppressors and the oppressed. Oppressors are described as any group, who by their sheer number of members is a majority in the country. This includes whites, Christians, and heterosexual men and women. SEED training materials stress a collection of isms, including classism, sexism, heterosexism, etc., and all members of the majority – the oppressors – are considered to display characteristics of these “isms”. The oppressed are any minority group such as a given race, homosexuals, and atheists who are oppressed by a racist, heterosexist and religious majority. According to SEED, oppressed individuals enter the “cycle of oppression” when they are born into the minority group, and when society then reinforces one or more of the “isms”, which creates feelings of anger and fear among the oppressed. SEED’s teachings suggest that these minorities be permitted their own form of righteous indignation as they seek to blame others for the circumstances of the minority’s life. The only way to break this cycle of oppression, it is taught, is for teachers to engage in a “relearning” program in both their personal and professional lives.

I can't berlieve how the media is ignoring & classifying this. "SUV Plows Through Crowd", suggesting the culprit was the inanimate object the anti-enviro one at that!? How PC can you get?

Call it terrorism, some say at rally
Mohammed Reza Taheriazar of Iran
Students at a campus rally Monday accused the UNC-Chapel Hill administration of hiding behind political correctness by not calling Friday's attack an act of terrorism.
"Why not label terrorism? Not doing so suggests a certain leniency toward that kind of thing," said Jillian Bandes, a junior from Florida and one of the organizers.

"It's an issue that needs to be confronted head on," said Bandes, who wrote a column in the The Daily Tar Heel last fall calling for Arabs to be strip-searched at airports. "The media and the administration are trying to dance around this term."

The rally was held at roughly the same time and place that police say Mohammed Taheri-azar, 22, drove a rented Jeep Cherokee through a crowd, hitting nine people. It attracted about 50 onlookers.

(AP) St. Paul House Democrats on Tuesday proposed $40 million in new state spending on early childhood education, saying it's time to revive such programs after several years of significant state cuts.

The new spending is only a fraction of the $400 million over four years that early childhood advocates had been seeking. But even those groups said the boosts to funding for Head Start, school readiness and other early childhood learning programs would be welcome and much needed.

"Given what they had to work with, this is a strong piece of legislation," said Todd Otis, president of Ready 4 K, an early childhood advocacy group.

During lean budget years starting in 2003, the state cut about $200 million in early childhood spending.

Supporters said the bulk of the new spending would go toward programs designed to make sure that 3 and 4-year-olds are ready to learn when they enter school. Studies have shown that more than half of children entering kindergarten lack basic skills necessary to succeed.

St. Paul's longest-serving school board member said he will resign effective this morning rather than fight suggestions he viewed child pornography on a library computer.

Security officers at Metropolitan State University caught a man watching child pornography on a library computer last month and concluded he logged on as school board member Al Oertwig, according to a police report.

"The allegation of child pornography is absolutely, totally false," Oertwig said Wednesday night. But he said he is stepping down from the board after nearly 20 years to avoid a distraction for the district.

"Whether it's true or false, it's going to be out there for months," he said.

He declined to comment on whether he was in the Metro State library on the day in question and what if anything he may have been looking at.

Oertwig, 62, has not been arrested or charged with a crime, and St. Paul police declined to say Wednesday whether they are investigating him.

Even if police verify Oertwig was viewing child pornography, he might not be charged. State law isn't clear about whether watching child porn on a computer constitutes possession of illegal pornography, said Jack Rhodes, a Ramsey County attorney's office spokesman.

Rhodes said he was speaking generally because he wasn't familiar with details of the report.

The incident occurred March 30 at 645 E. Seventh St., a building that houses the Metropolitan State University library and the city's Dayton's Bluff

Education policy was one of four issue areas discussed today at a MN Republican Issues Conference held on October 6th 2007 in St. Louis Park Minnesota. Speakers included former MN Education Department Commissioner Cheri Pierson Yecke, State Senator David Hann (R-42), and Rep Mark Buesgens(R-Jordan).

Support for school choice and opposition to the acceptance of federal education dollars that come with strings attached were two common themes that pervaded the comments of a number of panel members at Saturday’s conference. But perhaps the most insightful comments of the session came from Julie Quist, Vice President of Edwatch, as she gave a broad historical analysis of education trends and their effects on learning in America.
