Note: May be a bit mature/controversial - it's a cartoon of the "History" of the US of A. (I don't think there's any profanity in it - I watched it first - but it's obviously controversial.)

The amazing thing?

One of my friends' kids came home from school, where THE TEACHER had handed out a piece of paper with this link on it to HELP THEM UNDERSTAND WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

It's an insult to history and it's an insult to any American white or black.

It's so inaccurate and misleading it should be a crime for teachers to desire students to see it for any kind of realistic insight into actual History!

I think that's by the producers of South Park. That should make your head nod....

It's more than ridiculous....it's downright outrageous!!

I think Moore wrote the dialoge but I heard that the animators and producers of South Park were involved. They all have the same voices.

This just proves that Moored flunked out of the 4th grade....

I'd be standing in the principal's office - if not on his desk! - demanding something be done about that teacher! . . . and it wouldn't hurt my feelings to take this matter to the school board, with my attorney in tow. We have to draw the line between education and insanity.

Hey, the teacher probably thinks that IS history. Now how scary is that?

You gotta be kidding me. I think the teacher needs to take some remedial history lessons him/herself. It's rather sad that anyone would believe that video was even remotely close to 'how it really happened'.

I guess they're getting ready for the next big anti-gun push though.

Well, when I was in school (and I admit it's been awhile) we were taught to use "primary sources" to understand what really happened in history.

Apparently the criteria for "primary sources" has deteriorated completely....or maybe the use of "primary sources" has been obliterated.

At any rate....this is the poorest excuse for curriculum I have ever seen.

Yes, I believe it's from Bowling for Columbine.

You are right. Matt Stone (of South Park and a former Columbine student) was involved with the film, but they had nothing to do with the cartoon.

This will explain it better than I can.

Michael Moron needs to NOT make films and concentrate on finishing 4th grade....

I sure hope your friend takes this trash to the principal of the school and on to the district offices. Parents need to stay aware of what teachers are teaching in the classroom and notify administration when something is amiss. I can't tell you how many times teachers in my district where I teach taught something or brought in a film into a classroom and the principal didn't know anything about it until brought to his/her attention. If a teacher gave my son or daughter that link, I'd be down at the office quick as a wink and would be very vocal! What nonsense.

Now, if the teacher said to go and watch it to understand why a good education is important... well that would be different

Said teacher could/should then have a paper to hand out explaining all the errors and outright lies so they can learn more about true history, the power of propaganda, and the dangers of forgoing a good, sound, education.
