College Board silent: US wars, NDAA, non-academic, unsuitable, AP Govt topics?First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. And then you win. unsourced and attributed to Gandhi This is the first update for those interested in the education of our brightest high school students about US government. The first article I wrote has 50,000 search results; I appreciate the reposts to create public understanding of what is censored from education of US government. Perhaps what resonates: Heres the one-paragraph summary of whats happened from April 2 through April 6: Listserve moderator, Professor Joe Stewart of Clemson University, did not respond to the following three e-mails requesting contact information for College Board administrator Bill Tinkler, and to invite Joe to take a professional stand to speak against obvious US War Crimes and legislated removal of Constitutional civil rights. I thought that sharing excerpts from my three e-mails to Joe would help public understanding of the leadership provided by the College Board when silence is their chosen response. Some useful history: Joe just began his moderator work, and allowed all factual content relevant to understanding US government for three months. I invite him to once more embrace professional standards to allow facts to speak for themselves. When documented factual claims such as I provide at the end of this article cannot be refuted, they stand as our best understanding. 1st e-mail: 1. If you stay silent or neutral, when the future reveals that US wars are unlawful and started on obvious lies, the US tortured, and the US began destruction of basic rights in the Constitution, youll have to explain why you did not act. This will be highlighted from my personal invitation for you to act. 2. If you oppose professional communication of facts concerning war law and what US agencies report in their official reports (as I document and shared to the listserve for colleagues consideration), issues central to the US Constitution such as presidential assassination orders of American citizens and seizing Americans upon dictate of the Executive Branch, youll have that to explain. 3. If you choose a role of support of the US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic (do you have that Oath, btw?), then Im happy to be a partner for you to formulate your best self-expression. Youll be known, one way or another, Joe. You chose to be moderator of professional communication in this subject field. You received orders to censor a voice pointing to facts that determine whether millions will live or die, billions be helped or hurt, and what we do with trillions of our dollars. I will fight for those human lives, Joe. I will fight for professional standards to communicate facts in good faith effort for those lives. I will uphold my Oath to the US Constitution in defense of unalienable rights. What will you do? Time is an issue. I am motivated, and I will write. Feel free to call me if thats easier. I want to help you choose a path that matches the person youve always wanted to be. Carl 2nd e-mail: Thank you, 3rd e-mail: But this is what youre doing in your area of responsibility as moderator of what to discuss as AP Government teachers: Ill write about whatever you choose to do. Heres the list of central facts Ive written about to the listserve. Again, youre choosing censorship of these topics and silence to me, the messenger. Are you in agreement with Mr. Tinkler that the following are non-academic, personal in nature, and unsuitable for our brightest high school minds in a college-level course on US Government? Carl I promise further updates. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:
