Hijacking history: Woke teachers offer twisted 9/11 lessons focused on ‘Islamophobia’ — not 2,977 innocents killed

Two states require 9/11 in class. Two-thirds of professors say the kids cannot name the attackers.

Summary

  • The New York Post reports only Arizona and Florida legally require public schools to teach the Sept. 11 attacks, while the gap is being filled by lessons that blame America, downplay Islamic terrorism, and treat so-called Islamophobia as the real tragedy.
  • A new study found two-thirds of American Middle East studies professors say college students cannot identify who attacked the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, or why. Ten states only encourage some form of observance, which can mean a moment of silence.
  • New York requires a moment of silence and mentions the attacks in social studies standards but has no standard curriculum. Rep. Andrew Garbarino is pushing legislation to mandate 9/11 curriculum in all 50 states.
  • The North America Values Institute says activist lesson plans, some backed by George Soros, now fill the void, including Teaching Beyond September 11th, which the watchdog says gives the attacks a single paragraph and will not call the killers terrorists.

Commentary

A Long Island night janitor still wrings a mop and watches a classroom that should not need a federal bill to name 2,977 dead. He did not pay school tax so a paragraph could replace the towers.

Two. States. Two-thirds. Blank stares. One. Paragraph. The honest dad already said never forget. The packet said the real wound is a feeling.

Ask every working mother who still walks a child past a firehouse mural: if the kids cannot name the attackers, who still owns the promise?

If the kids cannot name the 9/11 attackers, who still owns Never Forget?
u/border_dad · 5h

Arizona and Florida mandate it. Ten states shrug. Two-thirds of those professors say the kids cannot name the attackers.

u/midwest_vet · 4h

I stood a pile so a name would stay a name. Teach the attack. Do not teach a mood.

u/rule_first · 4h

Garbarino 50-state bill. Teaching Beyond September 11th. One paragraph. Soros-backed plans. Publish the four.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied schools still teach a date as a fact. A silence bell is not a curriculum.

u/docket_rat · 3h

2,977. New York standards without a curriculum. NAVI watchdog. File the three.

u/night_shift · 2h

I still mop a hallway after the last bell. I want the next kid to know who flew the planes.

u/texas_mom · 90m

A fifth-grader should not graduate the feeling and fail the names. Mandate the lesson.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

A blank campus is a second attack on memory. The first 2,977 should have been enough.

u/press_clip · 30m

The Post printed two states, two-thirds, one paragraph, and Garbarino. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Require the curriculum. Name the terrorists. A country that forgets the date invites the next one.
