Actually no. A local Tennessee television station broke this story because they obtained the footage from a participant.

Thank god for local journalism exposing what our political elites actually think.

I don’t get the hate- you don’t have to use these charters if you disagree with the philosophy

Welcome, christofascist. Maybe respond to some of the facts here before another mindless defense of a crap religious institution.

I am not sure what even to respond to.

Private schools have long prioritized subject matter expertise, and public schools have biased towards teachers who have studied teaching methods.

There’s been room for both approaches for a long time.

Pick the approach you like.

See how I can respond w/out the name calling, btw? It’s a superpower and you can develop it, too.

Dp- the private school this thread is focused on, is promoting revisionist history.

I'm old enough my schoolteachers were the cream of the crop, as education was one of the few professions available to women. I can clearly see the difference.

Sorry to say it.

+1

Same in Europe, guess what profession and universities one has access to after having low standardized test scores. teaching k-12.

The for university you get someone who avoided the real world by doing degree after degree and maybe a 4-8 year long Phd in some unmarketable topic. Then turn around and teach the same thing, year after year.

You should be sorry to say it. It isn’t true. Perhaps your teachers were as “bright’ as you believe.

It is a crap college with uninformed students.

We have interns from there almost every summer. Only one has been worth a damn.

Why so much hatred here?
Let’s celebrate our differences; our diversity is our strength.

How different is that from other colleges?

Orwellian doublespeak from the fascist party that is opposed to free speech and critical thinking.

Where are you getting that this curriculum is only for charters? That's not what it says in the article. It says the Florida Dept of Ed.

Because people can elect to go to a religious school if they want a religious education. If Christians and the GOP want to entice people to go, they can pay them. They can spend their money to indoctrinate people. The country was founded on the separation of church and state.

You need to teach a lot of moral philosophy, reason, and critical thinking if you want to leave religion behind and maintain a functioning society at our scale.
The pendulum swung too far one way and it now it will swing back (rinse and repeat). That's life.

Anyone who throws around the term “Judeo-Christian” in this context is a hack.

Teach For America deserves its fair share of blame for the state of education.
