America’s Founding Fathers, as well as other historical figures and dates will be restored in proposed new Nebraska social studies standards, a state official leading the rewrite said Tuesday.
Their absence from an earlier draft, which focused instead on broad concepts and themes, drew criticism from the public and some members of the Nebraska Board of Education when released in April.
“We will definitely be adding historical figures back in there,” said Donlynn Rice, administrator of curriculum, instruction and innovation in the Nebraska Department of Education. “We listened to the input.”
However, fresh concerns about the draft standards were raised Tuesday as Rice briefed state board members on the progress of the rewrite.
Board member John Sieler of Omaha, a former Republican Party official, expressed concern that the draft standards suggest that manmade global warming is fact, not theory; advocate for global government, which he said is not recognized in the U.S. Constitution; and fail to emphasize American exceptionalism.
In 2007, state lawmakers directed the Nebraska Board of Education to update the state’s academic standards — language arts, math and science are already done. This year, it’s social studies.

America is an amusing place. America is ‘exceptional’ all right, but not in the way you would like to think. Have a nice day.
There will HOWEVER! be page after page of stuff about MLK and the civil rights troubles of the 60s, nothing of the Vietnam war, nothing of WWII (a rather significant self inflicted wound on mankind) nor Korea! So, why should anything be included about old dead White people but should include the blacks that Limbaugh said signed the DoI.
Nebraska and utah are conservative states. Curious as to why the would not want the youth to learn their history. Is europe doing this with their past. I doubt it as only dictatorships will spin and censor what they want people to believe is true.
DO NOT allow your children into the public (government) schools! It truly is a den of wickedness. If you cannot homeschool, then pick a charter school or private school that is honest with the parents about what is being taught. Use any schoolbook published before 1965. Please, do not hesitate to confront the people who are supposedly “teaching” your children. The elites are stupid hypocrites that enjoy bullying and belittling parents. Remember-they are YOUR children-not the governments!
Well you guys put all the whores in charge of the schools and fired all the men,what in the hell did you think would happen?????? gee the whores at the department of education are teaching your children to be little fagots,just like their fearless fagot leader Obammy,WHO would have ever guessed that would happen????another generation LOST to the devil……..READ your BIBLE before its to late,the whores and fagots will ban it soon,then you will never know what you could have done to stop this shit………….
