I would like Ms. Mac to show me in the TEKS where to find "Islam is awesome." How incredibly ridiculous and absurd. Anyone believing this nonsense is truly nuts.

(14,083 posts)6. False Information on Burqas in CSCOPE
The usual type of misinformation. C_SCOPE is trying to debunk it:
Certain articles have recently claimed that a picture of students wearing burqas was part of a CSCOPE lesson used in a teacher's classroom. This activity was not a part of any lesson in CSCOPE; rather, it was a locally developed lesson in a Texas school district. For more information from the school district, click here.

(112,369 posts)7. The students in Marble Falls will be indoctrinated during Spring Break!
MF students trek the globe this spring
Students involved with Marble Falls High School choir, band and dance will get the chance to travel across the country and globe this spring break.
Members of the Marble Falls High School band will be making a trip to Hawaii where they will perform, while the Starlettes dance team will cut a rug in San Diego. Choir will get to experience a different culture when they make a trip to London.
Source: http://www.highlandernews.com/news_article.php?category_id=2/1&article_id=4279
[font color=green]The band is going to Hawaii, the place that the lying tyrannical Moos-lim claims as his birthplace?
The choir goes to London? We know that place is infiltrated with Moos-lims.
The dance team is going to San Diego. Isn't that where the Moos-lims along with those other illegals reunite once they slipped past the border?
What's next? Sharia law?????
I'm skeered! (that she is a consultant to the SBOE)
(for anybody who doesn't realize it).[/font]
On a serious note, I found some comments made by "Ms. Mac" on the CSCOPE Website (http://nocompromisepac.ning.com/profiles/blogs/cscope-horror-stories-10-12-12 ) a little more than halfway down:
[font color=green]Yeah, I bet she's certified at all levels![/font]

Comments by researcher, Ms. Mac, sent to Donna Garner on 10.6.12:
Dear Pastor:
Recently I was asked, as a researcher, to gather information about C-SCOPE, an educational program stated to be in over 800 Texas public school districts (Out of approximately 1200). What I discovered is disturbing.
The founding experts for this program, as revealed on administrative training materials, include Humanist, Linda Darling-Hammond (who has signed a pledge to be good without God) and Marxist, Lev Vygotsky.
Lessons reflect a positive bias toward Islam and a negative bias toward Christianity. Homework is discouraged so parents do not see the material. Textbooks are also discouraged so there is no consistent reference to support or question. Because this program is not reviewed by the State Board of Education, content is not scrutinized for quality or accuracy.
Ask your parishioners, who have children and grandchildren in the system, to demand clarity and explanation from school board members. Sadly, teachers and parents are often not informed about the philosophy and radical foundation behind this program. They have not been given an informed choice. Do not take my word for it. Investigate. Dig. Be persistent.
A new website entitled Texas CSCOPE Review http://www.txcscopereview.com offers a venue to post your thoughts and findings as well as to read reports from other concerned Texans.
Currently there are multiple attacks on Christianity. If we do nothing .we lose positive standing with our youth and the community at large. If we do nothing we give our stamp of approval.
Sincerely,
Ms. Mac
