Tuesday, November 26, 2013 SURPRISE! Common Core Third Grade Text Book Portrays Obama as God-Like Figure
Gee, who could have predicted this?
On the heels of a controversial children’s book about Barack Obama – which stated “white voters would never vote for a black president” and that “Barack’s former pastor” said “God would damn the United States for mistreating its black citizens” – comes a new lesson that casts America’s 44th president in a messianic light. Literally.
And – surprise – it’s Common Core-aligned.
The lesson plan and accompanying visual presentation were authored by Sherece Bennett, and is for sale on TeachersPayTeachers.com. It’s all based on a book titled, “Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope,” by Nikki Grimes.
...In one passage, a young Obama sees beggars and wonders, “Will I ever be able to help people like these?”
