‘Death teaching’ found in schools

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice* | June 18, 2008

Inaccurate textbooks, parents’ rights being violated, sex education that goes too far. Found in schools in a Third World nation or a repressive Islamic society? Nope. Right here in the good ol’ United States of America.

That’s what Steve Baldwin and Karen Holgate, the authors of “From Crayons to Condoms: The Ugly Truth about America’s Public Schools,” have documented.

They’ve assembled a long list of horror stories about the nation’s public schools, from the teachers, students and parents who have witnessed them. The book, released today, will be the subject of discussion when the authors are interviewed by Fox’s Sean Hannity on Hannity Radio this afternoon and on Hannity and Colmes TV at 9:50 p.m. tonight.

American schools are “not just rife with bizarre, inaccurate textbooks and failed teaching practices – they encourage classroom activities that produce dangerous, even deadly results,” they say.

Baldwin, a former California state legislator and the current director of the Council for National Policy, and Holgate, an advocate for national educational reform, believe that public schools “can be saved” if “parents are ready to fight for their children every step of the way.”
