ARVADA, Colo. –  Hundreds of students walked out of classrooms around suburban Denver on Tuesday in protest over a conservative-led school board proposal to focus history education on topics that promote citizenship, patriotism and respect for authority, in a show of civil disobedience that the new standards would aim to downplay.

The youth protest in the state's second-largest school district follows a sick-out from teachers that shut down two high schools in the politically and economically diverse area that has become a key political battleground.

Student participants said their demonstration was organized by word of mouth and social media. Many waved American flags and carried signs, including messages that read "There is nothing more patriotic than protest."

Looks like the students have been indoctrinated by their leftist teachers. I say teach the greatness and exceptionalism of America. If they don't like it, than GTFO!

Public schools are driving patriotism, belief in God and capitalism out of the curriculum.  It's only going to get worse with common core.

From an interview with Yuri Bezmenov (Ex KGB Agent) in 1984

ED: Okay, so what do we do? What is your recommendation to the American people?

YURI: Well, the immediate thing that comes to mind is, of course, there must be a very strong national effort to educate people in the spirit of REAL patriotism, number one. Number two, to explain [to] them the real danger of socialist, communist, welfare state, Big Brother government....

The Denver area I'm not surprised as it is a solid liberal stronghold and a huge reason why this state remains blue while most of the surrounding counties are solidly conservative.

Denver school board refuses to drop curriculum review that promotes patriotism

GOLDEN, Colo. –  Students and parents say they will renew protests Friday after a suburban Denver school board refused to back off a proposed review of a U.S. history course with a goal of promoting patriotism and downplaying disorder.

Students and others packed the board's hearing room Thursday night and also watched the meeting on a big screen outside in the parking lot with popcorn. The students turned in two cardboard boxes of an online petition they said was signed by over 40,000 people across the U.S.

Students across a majority of the 17 high schools in Colorado's second-largest school district have left classes in droves over the past few weeks in protest.

They should be in class. No?

I say arrest them all. Perhaps bring in the National Guards.
