At least two parents in West Knoxville, Tennessee, are up in arms over an “inappropriate” reading assignment that was given to high school students at Hardin Valley Academy over the summer. The book at the center of the debate, “Robopocalypse,” written by Daniel H. Wilson, is said to be, at times, both profane and violent.
“I don’t want to comment specifically on the profanity, but we do consider the maturity of students to be able to understand, and whether the text is appropriate for the grade level and age group,” she continued...“We discussed adult-level language, and decided that most (not all) students of this age group are exposed to profanity through much more graphic means than the written text…,”
THE BLAZETONY DIGIROLAMO
AFTER TEACHING THE CURRICULUM "DEATH EDUCATION" IN THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS I'M NOT SURPRISED THAT THEY DON'T THINK THIS IS A DANGEROUS FOR THE KIDS.
It's not just the profanity but the violence as well that should have red flags rising!
They have desensitized our children to these things that draw them closer to humanistic secular world view.
Death Education had been taught for some 12 years at Columbine High School before the massacre in 1999. And, the tragic consequence of that horrific event gives new meaning to "Outcome Based"curriculum and "Values Clarification".
Psychologist William R Coulson, now retired, said this, on the ABC 20/20 program titled, "Death in the Classroom":
"What makes us think that American education is going to do a good job teaching Death Education. We ought to be trembling about the fact that the schools which failed to teach academics are now presuming to teach on matters of Life And Death."
“Robopocalypse”, is this what public schools are offering to peak students interest in math and science?
What fools!
