"Common Core"; America to blame for 9/11? That’s what schools are teaching kids

An amazing story on The Blaze today shows the disturbing lessons being taught to school kids about 9/11 and why were were attacked. One parent going through her child’s homework and was shocked to see questions and answers that suggest America was to blame for the 9/11 attacks. This isn’t an isolated incident — schools are implementing radical leftist curriculums all over the country.
TheBlaze reported:

A Texas mom is furious after discovering that her son’s school is teaching students that the United States is partly to blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people.
Kara Sands, of Corpus Christi, Texas, took to her Facebook and posted photos of the test administered by Flour Bluff Intermediate School. The test reportedly covered content in a video fifth-grade students watched in class.
Of all the questions about the 9/11 attacks, Sands was most disturbed by question three:
“Why might the United States be a target for terrorism?” The answer? “Decisions we made in the United States have had negative effects on people elsewhere.”
“You teach a man correct principles, and man can rule himself. They are teaching all of the incorrect principles,” Glenn said. “Even the state of Texas is in big, big trouble. We’ve got to wake up. Here’s the warning bell.”
