They did what?!
Is there no end to the multi-culti madness?
The Oregon Department of Education and Mexico's Secretariat of Public Education are discussing aligning their curricula so courses will be valid in both countries.
Similar ventures are under way in Yakima, Wash., San Diego, Calif., and Austin, Texas.
[...]
Mexico has made its national curriculum available to communities across the U.S. since 2001 to encourage Mexican adults and youths to continue an education often abandoned back home due to limited resources.
Arrrrgggghhh.
Must. Find. Blood. Pressure. Medication.
Bloody hell. We wouldn't want these students to use the -- what do they call it? -- American curriculum, would we?
At least this reveals the truth about these foreign nationals: they have no interest in becoming Americans, are only here to take advantage of our generosity, impose their agenda on our schools, divert resources from U.S. citizens.
Want to make sure your education is up to (must not giggle) Mexican standards? Here's a suggestion: go to school in Mexico.
Madness. Sheer madness.

Madness....heck Mike that's the understatement of the month. I am sick and tired of this nonsense.
If schools and other liberals want to open the flood gates with this nonsense, let them pay for it with their own money and send me a refund.
Good, tax-paying Americans, of all races, colors, and religions are being short-changed by the socialist philosophy of many of our leaders and educators. This is a real shame and it will get worse....Si(?) The Dumbing down of America is here......pretty soon Hilary will be in charge and we'll finally hit bottom. That's when it will be time to learn chinese to survive.

As heirs of the men and women who worked, suffered, and toiled to build and spread this nation from sea to shining sea, the baby boomer generation and its offspring are proving unworthy of an inheritance purchased with guts, blood and sweat. Outside of the Midwest and South, love of country and respect for our own American culture is fading fast.
My grandfather (Pops) was a local rancher. His toughness, honesty, belief in God, and genuine kindness made for quite a package of a man. Although I miss him, I'm glad he's not here to see the surrender of American territory, values, and tradition.

OK, read the blog and the comments and I have much that I feel is correctly stated. HOWEVER!!! A few things need to be considered. We continue to allow immigration and even encourage it (whether overtly or covertly). I think, as an educator, that it is valuable and enlightening that other cultures want to come here and want to merge our curricula. I think that's cool. Isn't it another step toward globalization? Whether we like it or not, it's happening.
We know that there is immigration from Mexico to the US whether it is permitted or not. It's a fact. If our goal is a democratic society why would we not want all members educated regardless of whether they are here legally or not? I go to the grocery store and think "I want them to be able to count back my change", whether they are educated here or "abroad" would that not be a goal? Does that not encourage and increase the likelihood (how do you spell that :)) of a quality workforce?
We communicate with Canada about reciprocal educational practices, why wouldn't we do that with Mexico...particularly in the Southwestern sates? I suppose it's because we consider Mexico as a "third world" country and Canada as not, well duh, they're white. Might this again be an application of anglo-european values that the US has tried for several hundred years to shed?
