[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP and while I wouldn't have phrased it the same way OP did, I agree that APS has a decidedly liberal bent. [b]For example, my K'er has learned a lot about MLK and spent most of a month on Chinese New Year, but has learned nothing about Washington or Lincoln. He learned about Kwaanza, Diwala, Ramadan, Hanukkah, but was told he shouldn't talk about what holiday(s) he celebrates with his friends. At the "winter concert" the groups played and sang songs about Hanukkah and another holiday (I can't remember whether it was Diwali or Kwaanza), but not one of the three groups performed any music related to Christmas. [/b]I too want kids to learn a lot about everyone's history, but APS seems too focused on PC liberalism, not the basics. That view does not make me racist or Xenophobic, just a concerned parent who wants my kid to learn history in a way that makes sense. [/quote] Live in the heart of liberalism, NW DC, and this is precisely why my kids are in a private school.[/quote]
