AMERICAN IMAM: CHOP GAYS HEADS OFF, BURN THEM, OR THROW THEM OFF A CLIFF
Published on Jun 22, 2016
The Orlando nightclub massacre is throwing fresh spotlight on comments made by so-called “moderate” Muslims about homosexuality, including a “role model” to young Muslims around the world who said that the easiest way to deal with gays was to chop off their heads.
According to the Muslim Group of USA and Canada, Imam Hamza Sodagar, “Is deemed a role model by young Muslims all around the world,” having studied Islamic issues for 14 years and spoken at innumerable events globally.
THEN: NAZIS CENSOR, THEN BURN BOOKS DEEMED UNSUITABLE OR CRITICAL OF NAZISM NOW: LIBERAL FASCISM IN PORTLAND TO FORCE STUDENTS TO BECOME "CLIMATE LITERATE" BY STRIPPING ALL "DOUBT" PPS will abandon the use of any adopted text material that is found to express doubt about the severity of the climate change crisis or its root in human activities.
SCHOOL BOARD READS ORWELLIAN RESOLUTION
THAT DENIES FREE SPEECH
TEACHING COMMUNISM IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS BY HOLLY SWANSON SEE:http://www.newswithviews.com/Swanson/holly102.htm;

Portland Public Schools, the largest school district in Oregon, passed a Resolution on April 19, 2016 that ought to be called ‘How to brainwash 49,000 students and force teachers to teach communism’.
The objectives laid out in this Resolution are startling, revealing and directly aligned with the Green movement’s national plan, now underway, to politically indoctrinate America’s children.
The Portland Public Schools (PPS) Resolution No. 5272 is a “Resolution to Develop an Implementation Plan for Climate Literacy”. This Resolution gained national attention for banning books that question the validity of global warming claims. The Resolution states:
“PPS will abandon the use of any adopted text material that is found to express doubt about the severity of the climate crisis or its root in human activities.”
Banning books is only the tip of this political iceberg. This Resolution is designed to 1) silence teachers, students and parents that do not share the PPS view on climate-change, 2) diminish the value of free thought and, 3) pave the way for environmental groups to politically indoctrinate 49,000 children (Oregon’s future voters).
Key goals outlined in the Portland Resolution include:
•redefine our economies and call for an end to the fossil fuel era • develop and implement curriculum that addresses climate change and climate justice in all Portland Public Schools (pre-K through 12th grade) •all students should see themselves as activists and leaders for social justice and environmental justice
What does the PPS mandate for “all students” to see themselves as activists for social justice and environmental justice entail? What does social justice mean? Facing the Future, one of the leading Education for Sustainability groups, defines social justice as:
“Social justice is the movement towards eliminating oppression and ultimately achieving equality in the distribution of goods and wealth among all groups in a society.”
Training “all students” to be social justice activists requires every student to conform and to adopt the political belief that ‘all wealth and goods must be distributed equally’ within our society.
In other words, brainwash innocent children and train students to be political activists so they will vote to impose social justice policies as adults.
What Would It Take To Achieve Social Justice?
Before ‘all wealth and goods’ could be distributed equally, ‘all wealth and goods’ would first have to be seized and controlled. Achieving social justice would require dictatorial power over the American people.
The CIA (United States Central Intelligence Agency) defines a Communist system of government as:
“Communist – a system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single – often authoritarian – party holds power; state controls are imposed with the elimination of private ownership of property or capital while claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people.”
Communism eliminates “private ownership of property or capital” to control people and is based on the idea that all wealth and “all goods are equally shared”. Social justice is communism.
Portland’s social justice mandate means using public education to train “all students” to be AGAINST our form of government and to be FOR imposing a communist form of government.
Another confirmation teaching social justice is politically motivated comes from a May 4, 2016 article in REASON magazine titled, Oregon State University Will Force Incoming Students to Take Social Justice Training, by Robby Soave. Soave ties Oregon State to instilling left-wing values, to indoctrination and to students being ‘trained not taught’.
The following statement, from the outline for a ‘Social Justice Minor’ at Oregon State, confirms Oregon State is aware of teaching this political goal:
“Social justice includes a vision of society in which the distribution of resources is equitable”
Taxpayer funded schools are being used to dictate public policy. For instance, the Portland Resolution indicates students will be trained to adopt the PPS climate position on the following issues:
“the climate crisis is created by human beings releasing greenhouse gases by mining and burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas); through deforestation; and with environmentally damaging agricultural practices”
The scientific debate on global warming is far from over. Prominent scientists have changed their position based on evidence. After dire predictions about global warming did not come to pass and false claims were exposed, the environmental movement renamed the issue ‘climate-change’. Climate-change is a general idea that can be twisted to impose more pieces of the Green agenda in schools and elsewhere.
Before climate-change curriculum is imposed on 49,000 students in Portland it would be wise to take a closer look at the political agenda of those pushing this curriculum. Endorsers of the Resolution included the Sierra Club, University of Portland and Rethinking Schools; which was one of the leading groups. A KOIN 6 news report on the PPS Resolution included the following excerpts:
“Bill Bigelow, a former PPS teacher and current curriculum editor of Rethinking Schools, a magazine devoted to education issues, worked with 350PDX and other environmental groups to present the resolution.”
“Bigelow is also the co-author of a textbook on environmental education, A People’s Curriculum for the Earth.”
“What we’re looking for is a whole different model of curriculum development and distribution.”
A Whole Different Model of Curriculum?
“Rethinking Schools is a nonprofit publisher and advocacy organization dedicated to sustaining and strengthening public education through social justice teaching and education activism.”
The PPS directive to teach “all students” to be social justice activists also conveniently aligns with Bigelow’s book, A People’s Curriculum for the Earth, which features contributions from left-wing activists such as, Van Jones, Bill McKibben, Winona La Duke (former Green Party Presidential candidate) and Derrick Jensen. Social Justice is one of the top 10 Green Party goals.
Rethinking Schools was instrumental in creating the Zinn Education Project, which is dedicated to teaching the political ideas of the late Howard Zinn in America’s schools. The following excerpt is from the August 2, 2010 American Spectator article, The Case Against Howard Zinn, by Robert Stacy McCain:
“The FBI files demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt that Zinn — author of A People’s History of the United States, widely used as a textbook or supplement in many of our nation’s high schools and universities — was a card-carrying Communist at a time when the Soviet Union was America’s most dreaded enemy.”
Zinn’s involvement in the Communist Party and other revolutionary groups throughout his life prompted an on-going FBI investigation. The FBI file on Zinn is over 400 pages long. Zinn’s commitment to communism is relevant today. Rethinking Schools editor Bill Bigelow is the author of the book, A People’s History for the Classroom, which is “pegged directly to Zinn's work.“
People have a right to their beliefs. A political movement or party does not have a right to use public education to impose their beliefs on America’s children.
Green Communism:
The environmental movement is using politicized curriculum, such as Climate Literacy, Education for Sustainability, Environmental Literacy and Social Justice, to impose their beliefs, which mirror Green Party goals and communism, on America’s children.
Lenin, the Father of Communism, promised ‘peace, bread and land for all’ but what followed was mass oppression, suffering and the murder of innocent people.
The Greens are promoting the idea that social justice and the ‘equitable distribution of wealth and goods’ is necessary to save the planet. The goal is to take control of all wealth and goods. Even Al Gore understands communism is bad for the environment.
“And it is no accident that the very worst environmental tragedies were created by communist governments, in which the power of the state completely overwhelms the capabilities of the individual steward.” - Al Gore, Earth in the Balance
Thousands of Americans; ranchers, farmers, fisherman, loggers and countless other individual stewards have already been overwhelmed and harmed by unreasonable regulations demanded by the environmental movement. Those regulations, just like environmental education, need to be reevaluated because the environmental movement has proven to be a communist front.
The Green movement’s invasion of our schools is occurring on a national scale. Steps to politically indoctrinate America’s children are underway. Teaching communism in our schools is harmful and a violation of the public trust. Free thought, individual freedom and the democratic process are at risk.
The issue of political indoctrination needs to be addressed on the local, state and national level immediately. Parental rights, religious freedom, free enterprise, private property rights and so much more are on the line.

So, who here among us honestly does not believe this is liberal fascism?
Let’s go through reality again. Climate change is not real, it is not a proven scientific fact. It is a theory and only a theory. Nothing else. If it were real, like gravity for instance, there would be no dissent. It would be settled science just as gravity is settled science.
Now, let’s look at this gem of a story. Absolute proof of liberal fascism. This is sick folks. We’re in the United States of America, and this shit happens?
Indoctrination in its purest form.
For those of you familiar with the Soviet Union, Portland schools have become “Pioneer Camps”, full throttle for the pioneer movement. Another perfect example is the Nazi Youth Corps. This is exactly what is happening in Portland.
School officials in Portland, Oregon, have banned books questioning climate change from the classroom.
The city’s public school board voted last week that any material saying climate change doesn’t exist or that humans are not at fault should be removed.
The resolution also directs school staff to develop an implementation plan for ‘curriculum and educational opportunities that address climate change and climate justice in all Portland Public Schools.’
Undeniable indoctrination.
The measure was passed even though the Oregon Institute of Science and medicine is circulating a petition which states: ‘there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.’
So far it has 32,000 signers, including 9,000 Ph.D.s.
This should tell you everything you need to know about education, the influx of progressive liberals that have taken education over, and the disastrous folly that was a gift to the teachers unions by President Carter in 1981. The U.S. Dept. of Education. That government agency needs to be abolished.
This is absolutely indoctrination and liberal fascism. No sane person could argue otherwise. From the threats of legal action to the abolition of any material that does not tow the party line.
This is America?
Once again, it’s the damned liberals bringing it. The same people who falsely accuse the other side of what they (the left) actually do.
Liberalism is a cancer that must be eradicated from this country. The nation is sick, and liberals are the disease.
The Portland, Oregon Public Schools (PPS) board unanimously approved a resolution removing materials from schools that could cast doubt on climate change or the idea that human beings are responsible for it. Last week the board voted unanimously in favor of the resolution that states: “The implementation plan should include a review of current textbooks for accuracy around the severity of the climate crisis and the impact of human activities. PPS will abandon the use of any adopted text material that is found to express doubt about the severity of the climate crisis or its root in human activities." In Portland Public School video of the board vote, former teacher Bill Bigelow can be seen testifying in favor of the measure.
“The resolution before you concludes, and I quote, ‘will abandon the use of any adopted text material that is found to express doubt about the severity of the climate crisis or its root in human activities’ – this is not hypothetical,” Bigelow told the board. “A science text used in district schools is called ‘Physical Science: Concepts in Action’, it’s published by Pearson. Its few paragraphs on climate change are littered with doubt.” -- “The text is thick with this skeptical language of ‘might’ and ‘could’ and ‘may,’” Bigelow continued. “Physical Science actually tells students – and I quote, ‘Carbon dioxide emissions from motor vehicles, power plants and other sources, may contribute to global warming.’ This is a section that could be written by the Exxon public relations department.” The board voted unanimously in favor of the resolution. In the PPS video the crowd can be heard applauding the decision to ban the books from the school system.
