Her daughter's teacher said the pilgrims were America's first terrorists

November 24, 2014

Every parent knows the importance a good education, but the progressive indoctrination of America's children has reached chilling new heights. For over a year, Glenn has been warning parents about the dangers of Common Core. History is being forgotten, and in many cases rewritten. One mother, Cindy Vines, shared a shocking story with Glenn on radio this morning about her daughter's teacher. Allegedly, the teacher not only told the kids they should only learn from her teacher (not her parents), but also that the Pilgrims were America's first terrorists.

Below is a rough transcript of the segment:

GLENN: So a couple of weeks ago, I was on Facebook, and it's late at night. And I'm reading my Facebook. And I really started to try to interact with you a little bit more on Facebook. I think Facebook is the new -- is the replacement for the telephone and almost talk radio in a way. It's mass communication, but also personal one-to-one.

So Cassidy Vines is a listener and a viewer of ours. And she writes: Glenn, I don't typically post or respond to posts on Facebook. But after your radio program this morning, I feel compelled to share something, a story on what I feel my life purpose is.

And she goes on to talk about how she was homeschooled, and she didn't like it at the time because she was made fun of. But then something happened to her.

She said: Flash forward a decade now, and I have my own daughter. This is the one-year mark since I graduated from the police academy. And it was the deciding factor on whether or not I would homeschool my daughter. I chose to work on my career. But she started kindergarten and public school this year. Seemed to be going great until a couple of weeks ago I went in for a parent/teacher meeting and found that they had been teaching these children that Pilgrims were America's first terrorists and I had an oh-crap moment.

[...]

And so we called Cassidy, she's on the phone with us now. Cassidy Vines.

Hi, Cassidy, how are you?

CINDY: I'm good. How are you?

GLENN: I'm really good.

When you were walking into school, and you found out your daughter was making some Indians artwork. Right?

CINDY: Right. Well, they had already done it. They had it lined along the hallways on the walls.

GLENN: And what happened?

CINDY: I went in for just a routine parent/teacher meeting with my daughter's teacher. I went in armed with a slew of questions. The biggest thing that was on my mind was something she told me that absolutely outraged me. I was absolutely furious.

I was prepared to listen to what the teacher had to say just in case my daughter was maybe stretching the truth a bit.

So how it started was, one night I was helping my daughter with her homework. You know, it's absolutely ridiculous math homework. It was the -- the base ten stuff. One ten plus another ten plus one, two, three, one, makes 23. So I tried to correct her on it. And this is Texas. You know, Common Core. It's Tekx. T-E-K-X.

And I tried to correct her on it. And she tells me that -- she snaps at me and tells me that I can't teach her.

She says, I'm her mommy, not her teacher.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

CINDY: So I kept that in the back of my mind to bring up with the teacher, but I was more concerned at the time with her new attitude that she brought home from school.

Two days later, she brings home this little booklet to read to me. And, again, I tried to correct her on a word that she kept reading incorrectly. And I said it in the most gentle way possible. And she broke down crying and said, that's how she was taught, and I can't tell her something different because I'm a mommy, not a teacher.

GLENN: Please tell me at this point you asked, where are you hearing this?

CINDY: I did. I did. And my parents were there at the same time. And it was like this new thing she learned how to do. She's reading now. And there's no way this was a coincidence.

So I asked her, I said, is somebody telling you this at school?

She said, yes, I'm only allowed to learn from my teacher.

And I sent several notes to school with her in her folder. And I requested several times a meeting with the teacher, and I never got a response. Finally when I did go in to see her, she tells me she wants me to email her, not send notes.

So finally I get a scheduled meeting with her to discuss her grades, and I tell her what my daughter said. And I'm waiting for her to deny it. It doesn't happen.

She goes on to tell me that they try to discourage parents from introducing contradictory concepts to our children.

STU: Our children?

CINDY: Yes. Our children. As in the school's children?

PAT: Did you correct her on that?

GLENN: No. She's not a teacher.

CINDY: I was a little baffled.

And so when I started talking about my daughter, I emphasized "my daughter."

So I asked her, I said, am I not allowed to help her with her homework?

She tells me that it's better if I just let her do it on her own. They don't want parents confusing the kids.

PAT: Oh, my gosh. That is amazing stuff.

CINDY: So going on to the Indians, during the same -- the same conference, I mention all the Indians lined up in the hallway that the kids made, and I asked when they're going to start on the Pilgrims.

Here's where eyebrows start going up. She tells me that, although they're going to cover the Pilgrims, they're not going to emphasize them because of all the violence and the fact that they were essentially America's first terrorists.

It took my breath away.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. How old was this teacher?

CINDY: She's probably in her 30s. She doesn't look much older than me. I'm 27.

STU: This reminds me of the "Interstellar" movie that was out recently. It was the same thing where the machines were bad.

PAT: And they hadn't gone to the moon.

And the problem was that Matthew McConaughey's character was at the school for was because his daughter kept bringing in the father's history book, his textbook, and he was going over the moon landing and all that stuff. He was an astronaut at one time.

And she says, we can't have that in our school because that's not the corrected version.

STU: The corrected version --

PAT: Of history, which shows that the moon landing was fake.

STU: That's supposed to be fiction. We're learning here from Cassidy and we've learned in how many cases around the country that this stuff is going on.

PAT: Yeah. The revisionist has begun.

GLENN: I don't even know what to say about this. I get so uptight about this stuff. This is the stuff that enrages me.

PAT: I would have been arrested.

GLENN: I would have too. I would have. I would have blown a gasket. What did you do?

CINDY: I went home. First thing I do is I text my dad. Because my dad, when I was homeschooled, he really forced history down my throat. You know, I was writing college-level papers on history. Absolutely hated it.

I texted him.

I said, Dad, get this. This is what they're teaching your grandbaby.

Of course, he was furious. So we started talking about it, and I decided right then and there that she was going to be pulled out of school and I would be homeschooling her.

So I wasn't going to do it right way. I had to build her curriculum. So I'm still working on that. So probably after Christmas, she will be pulled out of school.

GLENN: Good for you.

STU: Wow. That has to be a tough decision.

GLENN: And how long will we be able to do that?

CINDY: I don't know. I was actually looking that up.

GLENN: Yeah. How long will we be able to have the right -- if they're already saying that these are our children and, listen, don't listen to mommy and daddy -- do you know what this? You remember the Al Gore speech. It was right after the election. It was at the inauguration. And he said -- and it was outrageous at the time.

And we played it on Fox. And they, of course, distanced themselves from it, and they wouldn't answer anything. But that's when he called everyone in and would not allow any parents, any adults in there, it was just teenagers. And one of the kids tape-recorded it. They turned on their i Phone, and they recorded it. And what he said was, look, there are some things that your parents don't know that you just instinctively know.

Do we have that anymore?

PAT: I don't think so.

STU: We have to break through our kind of private idea that our kids belong to their parents or our kids belong to their families and recognize kids belong to whole communities.

GLENN: I'm sorry. But this is Hitler youth stuff. It is. When the State deems the child theirs over the parents --

PAT: You don't have to go back that far. Remember the Canadian thing? The co-parent thing?

GLENN: Yeah.

VOICE: This is a difficult situation for the family to be in. And we do work hand-in-hand with these families because we co-parent, so obviously we --

PAT: Wait. You co-parent? The school co-parents? No, you don't.

GLENN: Remember that study came out and showed that 98 percent of those who are currently unemployed in the United States, 98 percent do not want a job. They don't want a job.

And what was the number -- the number with the youth was also staggering. It was, out of 14 to 27-year-olds, it was -- I don't remember what the number was, but it was a very high number that they don't even want to start looking for a job. They're just not interested in work. Well, why would you be when the government gives you everything? And that's what's happening to us.

They're training us not to think. Not to think for ourselves. Not to do for ourselves. And there is going to come a tipping point, and I don't know when it is.

But when that tipping point hits, we're in trouble.

And I have to tell you, Cassidy, I want to thank you so much for sharing this story with us. And you just keep going and do the right thing. Because you're on the right track. And your parents, I know how much you probably hated -- well, I read your Facebook post. You hated homeschooling, but are you grateful for it now?

CINDY: I'm absolutely 100 percent grateful for it.

GLENN: God bless you. Thank you so much.

PAT: Thanks for what you're doing. I do have the Al Gore thing.

GLENN: Hang on just a second. Let me just say this. That there's coming a tipping point, and it's going to happen sooner rather than later, I fear. That they will just start to say that you're not doing this with your kid. And when that happens -- I mean, we're in deep trouble. We're in deep, deep trouble. And Americans need to wake up.

When you're sitting around the Thanksgiving table, I want you to bring up what you heard -- this story. And you heard it. Don't quote it from me. Don't say what show you heard it on.

Just say, there was this lady in Fort Worth, and she was talking about this happened. And then start talking about what's happening in your schools. And you listen to your parents and your grandparents, the older ones at the table, and see what they have to say about this. This is an outrage, and Americans need to stand up against this.

We're at a point now to where we have to shut down the department of ed. There's no reform that will be good enough. You have to shut down the Department of Education. It must be turned off. And the control has got to go back to the local level.

Here's the Al Gore thing. This happened the week of the first inauguration of Barack Obama. They call all these students in. Al Gore is giving a speech. And there are no parents allowed. And one of the kids hits record on their i Phone. Here's what she picks up.

GORE: I'm thinking back now a long way to when I was your age, and the civil rights movement was unfolding. And we kids asked our parents and their generation, explain to me again why it's okay for the law to officially discriminate against people because of their skin color. And parents try to tell their kids the right thing, you know, usually -- I do. And when our parents' generation couldn't answer that question, that's when the laws started to change.

There are some things about our world that you know that older people don't know.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. This is so dangerous. So dangerous.

The first Thanksgiving was about humiliation, fasting, and prayer. Humbling yourself before the Almighty God, praying, fasting, and giving thanks.

May I recommend, may I strongly recommend that we do this this Thanksgiving and turn our face to the almighty before we destroy ourselves?

Critical theory destroys truth and justice

Editor's note: This article was originally published on TheBlaze.com.

Critical theory once stood out as the absurd progressive notion that it is. Now, its maxims are becoming an integral part of ordinary political discourse. The more you repeat a lie, the more you will believe it, and this is the very dangerous place in which we find ourselves today.

Take this critical theory maxim as an example: If we desire justice, we must sometimes champion what may appear superficially as injustice. It's a necessary evil, if you will, the necessity of “controlled injustice.”

By using truth through fabrication and controlled injustice for justice, we’ll save the republic. We’ll be acting in a noble way.

This definition of justice is defined by the “oppressed,” not the “oppressor.” It is the greatest happiness for the greatest number. To achieve this justice, however, we need to endorse acts on occasion that, while seemingly unjust, serve a higher purpose. It will ensure the stability and the unity of our republic, and this may manifest in ways that seem contradictory to our values. But these are the necessary shadows to cast light on “true justice.”

And isn’t that what we are all after, anyway?

Here’s another critical theory maxim: Sometimes we find the truth through fabrication. Our pursuit of truth sometimes requires a strategic use of falsehoods. The truth is a construct that has been shaped and tailored to promote the well-being of the collective.

We sometimes need to accept and propagate lies designed by "the system” — not the old system, but the system that we’re now using to replace the old to get more justice through injustice and more truth through fabrication.

We’re engaging in a higher form of honesty. When we fabricate, it’s for the right reason. We are reaching up to the heavens fighting for a higher sort of honesty. To fortify the truth, we occasionally must weave a tapestry of lies. Each thread, essential for the greater picture, will ultimately define our understanding and ensure our unity under this infallible wisdom.

The election is coming up. Does this maxim sound familiar? Many think it is imperative that we secure our republic through election control to maintain our republic. Sometimes, we might need to take actions that by traditional standards might be questionable.

The act of securing elections requires cheating. It's not mere deception. It is a noble act of safeguarding our way of life. We're on the verge of losing this democracy, and without deception, we will lose it.

To ensure it doesn't fall into the hands of those we know will destroy it, we may have to make a few fabrications. We're fabricating stories to be able to control or secure the republic through our elections. By using truth through fabrication and controlled injustice for justice, we'll save the republic. Therefore, we'll be acting in a noble way. Stealing an election from those who wish to harm our society is truly an act of valor and an essential measure to protect our values and ensure the continuation of our just society.

If we desire justice, we must sometimes champion what may appear superficially as injustice.

I know it's a paradox of honor through dishonor. But in this context, by embracing the dishonor, we achieve the highest form of honor, ensuring the stability and the continuation of our great republic.

Let this be heard, far and wide, as a great call to patriotic action. As we advance, let each of us, citizens of this great and honorable republic, consider these principles. Not as abstract or paradoxical but as practical guides to daily life. Embrace the necessity of controlled injustice, the utility of lies, the duty to secure our electoral process, and the honor and apparent dishonor. These are not merely strategies for survival. They are prerequisites for our prosperity.

We all have to remember that justice is what our leaders define, that truth is what our party tells us. Our republic stands strong on the values of injustice for justice, honor through dishonor, and the fabrication of truths. To deviate from this path is to jeopardize the very fabric of our society. Strength through unity; unity through strength.

We've heard this nonsense for so long. But now, this nonsense is becoming an instituted reality, and we are entering perilous times. Don't be fooled by the narratives you will hear during the march to November. Never let someone convince you that the ends justify the means, that a little bit of injustice is needed to achieve a broader, collective vision of justice, that truth sometimes requires fabricated lies and narratives. If we do, justice will cease to be justice, truth will cease to be truth, and our republic will be lost.

Top 5 MOST EVIL taxes the government extorts from you

"In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." -Ben Franklin

The injustice of taxation has been a core issue for Americans since the very beginning of our country, and it's a problem we have yet to resolve. This belief was recently reignited in many Americans earlier this month on tax day when the numbers were crunched and it was discovered that the government was somehow owed even more hard-earned money. As Glenn recently discussed on his show, it's getting to be impossible for most Americans to afford to live comfortably, inflation is rising, and our politicians keep getting richer.

The taxpayer's burden is heavier than ever.

The government is not above some real low blows either. While taxes are a necessary evil, some taxes stretch the definition of "necessary" and emphasize the "evil." Here are the top five most despicable taxes that are designed to line the IRS coffers at your expense:

Income Tax

"It would be a hard government that should tax its people one-tenth part of their income." -Ben Franklin

On February 24th, 2024 we hit a very unfortunate milestone, the 101st anniversary of the 16th Amendment, which authorized federal income tax. Where does the government get the right to steal directly out of your paycheck?

Death Taxes

"Now my advice for those who die, Declare the pennies on your eyes" -George Harrison

Not even in death can you escape the cold pursuit of the tax collector. It's not good enough that you have to pay taxes on everything you buy and every penny you make your entire life. Now the feds want a nice slice, based on the entire value of your estate, that can be as much as 40 percent. Then the state government gets to stick their slimy fingers all over whatever remains before your family is left with the crumbs. It's practically grave-robbery.

Payroll

"The power to tax is the power to destroy." -John Marshall

What's that? The nice chunk of your paycheck the government nabs before you can even get it to the bank wasn't enough? What if the government taxed your employer just for paying you? In essence, you make less than what your agreed pay rate is and it costs your employer more! Absolutely abominable.

Social Security

"We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much." -Ronald Reagan

Everyone knows the collapse of Social Security is imminent. It has limped along for years, only sustained by a torrent of tax dollars and the desperate actions of politicians. For decades, people have unwillingly forked over money into the system they will never see again.

FICA

"What at first was plunder assumed the softer name of revenue." -Thomas Paine

FICA is the payroll equivalent of Social Security. Your employer has to match however much you pay. It means it costs your employer even more to pay you—again, you'll NEVER see that money. At this point, are you even working for yourself, or are you just here to generate money for the government to frivolously throw away?

5 DISTURBING ways World War III will be different from previous wars

Oleg Nikishin / Stringer | Getty Images

Has World War III begun?

Over the weekend, Iran launched an unprecedented attack against Israel involving over 300 missiles and drones. This marked the first direct attack on Israel originating from Iranian territory. Fortunately, according to an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, 99 percent of missiles and drones were successfully neutralized by Israeli defense systems. Iran claimed that the operation against Israel had concluded and that no further offensive was planned, although the possibility of another attack is still present.

This has left many people, including Glenn, wondering the same thing: did we just witness the start of World War III?

Glenn recently had a World War II Air Force Veteran as a guest on his TV special, who told stories of the horrors he and his brothers-in-arms faced in the skies over war-torn Europe. This was a timely reminder of the terrors of war and a warning that our future, if it leads to another world war, is a dark one.

But, if Glenn's coverage of the Iranian attack revealed one thing, it's that World War III will look nothing like the world wars of the twentieth century. Long gone are the days of John "Lucky" Luckadoo and his "Bloody Hundredth" bravely flying their B-17s into battle. Over the weekend, we saw hundreds of autonomous drones and missiles clashing with extreme speed and precision over several different fronts (including space) simultaneously. This ain't your grandfather's war.

From EMP strikes to cyber attacks, here are FIVE ways the face of war has changed:

EMP attacks

The entire modern world, on every level, is completely dependent on electricity. From your home refrigerator to international trade, the world would come to a grinding halt without power. And as Glenn has pointed out, it wouldn't even be that hard to pull off. All it would take is 3 strategically placed, high-altitude nuclear detonations and the entire continental U.S. would be without power for months if not years. This would cause mass panic across the country, which would be devastating enough on its own, but the chaos could be a perfect opportunity for a U.S. land invasion.

Nuclear strikes

Nuclear war is nothing new. Many of us grew up during the Cold War, built fallout shelters, and learned to duck and cover. But times have changed. The Berlin Wall fell and so did the preparedness of the average American to weather a nuclear attack. As technology has advanced, more of our adversaries than ever have U.S. cities within their crosshairs, and as Glenn has pointed out, these adversaries are not exactly shy about that fact. Unfortunately, the possibility of an atomic apocalypse is as real as ever.

Immigration warfare

Nick Ut / Contributor | Getty Images

The strategy of strangling an opposing nation's economy to gain the upper hand is a wartime tactic as old as time. That's why the Border Crisis is so alarming. What better way to damage an opponent's economy than by overburdening it with millions of undocumented immigrants? As Glenn has covered, these immigrants are not making the trek unaided. There is a wide selection of organizations that facilitate this growing disaster. These organizations are receiving backing from around the globe, such as the WEF, the UN, and U.S. Democrats! Americans are already feeling the effects of the border crisis. Imagine how this tactic could be exploited in war.

Cyber shutdowns

Bill Hinton / Contributor | Getty Images

Cyber attacks will be a major tactic in future wars. We've already experienced relatively minor cyber strikes from Russia, China, and North Korea, and it is a very real possibility that one of our adversaries inflicts a larger attack with devastating consequences on the United States. In fact, the WEF has already predicted a "catastrophic" cyber attack is imminent, and Glenn suggests that it is time to start preparing ourselves. A cyber attack could be every bit as devastating as an EMP, and in a world run by computers, nothing is safe.

Biological assault

Don't trust the "experts." That was the takeaway many of us had from the pandemic, but something less talked about is the revelation that China has manufactured viruses that are capable of spreading across the globe. We now know that the lab leak hypothesis is true and that the Wuhan lab manufactured the virus that infected the entire world. That was only ONE virus from ONE lab. Imagine what else the enemies of America might be cooking up.

The government is WAGING WAR against these 3 basic needs

NICHOLAS KAMM / Contributor | Getty Images

The government has launched a full-on assault against our basic needs, and people are starting to take notice.

As long-time followers of Glenn are probably aware, our right to food, water, and power is under siege. The government no longer cares about our general welfare. Instead, our money lines the pockets of our politicians, funds overseas wars, or goes towards some woke-ESG-climate-Great Reset bullcrap. And when they do care, it's not in a way that benefits the American people.

From cracking down on meat production to blocking affordable power, this is how the government is attacking your basic needs:

Food

Glenn had Rep. Thomas Massie on his show where he sounded the alarm about the attack on our food. The government has been waging war against our food since the thirties when Congress passed the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938. They started by setting strict limits on how many crops a farmer could grow in a season and punishing anyone who grew more—even if it was intended for personal use, not for sale on the market. This sort of autocratic behavior has continued into the modern day and has only gotten more draconian. Today, not only are you forced to buy meat that a USDA-approved facility has processed, but the elites want meat in general off the menu. Cow farts are too dangerous to the environment, so the WEF wants you to eat climate-friendly alternatives—like bugs.

Water

ALESSANDRO RAMPAZZO / Contributor | Getty Images

As Glenn discussed during a recent Glenn TV special, the government has been encroaching on our water for years. It all started when Congress passed the Clean Water Act in 1972, which gave the government the ability to regulate large bodies of water. As the name suggests, the act was primarily intended to keep large waterways clear of pollution, but over time it has allowed the feds to assume more and more control over the country's water supply. Most recently, the Biden administration attempted to expand the reach of the Clean Water Act to include even more water and was only stopped by the Supreme Court.

Electricity
