As more and more information comes out about the radical left-wing educational scheme known as Common Core, the more is revealed about it’s hatred of America’s history and values.
Now, a new report has surfaced to show that Common Core also hates Israel and promotes terrorism against the Jewish state. WND reports:
A Boston University professor has defended to WND his creation of a Common Core-compliant lesson plan that uses role-playing workshops to teach students to sympathize with Hamas, create a Palestinian state and divide the city of Jerusalem.
Professor Carl Hobert’s “Whose Jerusalem?” project has been lauded by those at the pinnacle of the education establishment as an important work that will, in the words of Boston University School of Education Dean Hardin Coleman, “help students acquire the skills they need” in conflict resolution “to be successful in the 21st century.”
But the role-playing exercises have also come under fire recently from pro-Israel groups. One group, Boston-based Americans for Peace and Tolerance headed by Charles Jacobs, released a 27-minute documentary film last month that derides Hobert’s project as an “attempt to indoctrinate” rather than educate.
Indoctrination rather than education is standard fare for the left when it comes to the education of the young. So, we should not be surprised that this attack on Israel’s sovereignty is thinly disguised as “learning.” WND provides more details:
The role-playing games where students pretend to represent Arab, Israeli or American interests have been used in hundreds of high schools across America, Hobert told WND. Last year, the program was added to the Common Core-approved list of curricula and received Race to the Top funding from the U.S. Department of Education. The workshop is presented in many schools as part of a “global education” initiative, which is a strong focus of Common Core-compliant curricula.
The “global citizen” approach to teaching social studies has been adopted not only in public schools but many private and religious schools as well.
Hobert admits on camera in the documentary that his mission in designing “Whose Jerusalem?” goes beyond educating students. He hopes to turn them into activists.
