http://democracynow.org - After a county school board in Colorado proposed to rewrite the district's high school history curriculum to stop teaching about civil disobedience, students and teachers have responded with acts of civil disobedience of their own. Classes have been canceled twice in Jefferson County as teachers stage mass sick-outs and students walk out of classes. At a protest last week, hundreds of Denver-area high school students held cardboard signs with slogans including, "Don't make history a mystery" and "Keep your politics out of my education." The protests began after the school board announced it was considering reviewing the curriculum of Advanced Placement history courses and adding more material to "promote citizenship, patriotism, essentials and benefits of the free-market system, respect for authority and respect for individual rights." The proposed changes also call for the removal of classroom materials that "encourage or condone civil disorder, social strife or disregard of the law." In addition, teachers are protesting a pay-grade system that ties their salaries to performance reviews. We are joined by two guests: John Ford, president of the Jefferson County Education Association and a social studies teacher at Moore Middle School, and Ashlyn Maher, a Chatfield High School senior and one of the students protesting the proposed curriculum changes.

1. Where are the parents?

Seen a few stories on this but don't recall reading anything attributed to the parents of these students. I'm hoping I just missed those articles where the parents are in full support of their children and teachers.

2. Jefferson County is deep red.

They would never try this in Denver or Boulder counties. This is why school board elections are so important, People!! Fundies get their feet in the door and this is what happens.
