The very short story of one student’s encounter with a textbook that is unreadable. Produced by Molly Sirois.

Poems of 1917 Op. 41 IV. “The Wrath of the Despoiled” V. “Night Brooding Over the Battlefield” VI. “A Dirge of the Trenches” Marc-Andre Hamelin, piano Leo Ornstein (1893-2002) was once a celebrated American composer in the early 20th-century, often regarded as the “poster boy” for the avant-garde in American music. Music textbooks are quick to cite Henry Cowell as the progenitor of the tone cluster in art-music, but credit should be given to Ornstein, who made innovative applications of tone clusters in his early piano pieces of the 1910s. Although considered an American composer, Ornstein was born in Ukraine and studied at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. He established a controversial but famous repuation in America both as a pianist and as a radically modern composer. But after 1920, Ornstein slowly abandoned his efforts in the avant-garde and his idiom became relaxed and more conservative, angering many of the modernist cohorts who admired his music. In the 1930’s Ornstein and his wife founded a music school in Philadelphia and he devoted his time to teaching until the 1950’s. Throughout these decades Ornstein’s music and his very name became marginalized and he seemed to vanish from the music world entirely until the 1970’s. After turning his back on the avant-garde, Ornstein composed music in an accessible style reminiscent of Rachmaninov with occasional forays into biting dissonance. His last composition, the Eighth Piano Sonata, was finished at the age of 97, but …

By the way also the nations which have been and are still colonized accept use and tolerate such a description or denial of what really happened. My website: dimitrihalley.com

www.tfn.org the Texas Freedom Network reported: the board stripped Thomas Jefferson from a world history standard about the influence of Enlightenment thinkers on political revolutions from the 1700s to today. In Jeffersons place, the boards religious conservatives succeeded in inserting Thomas Aquinas and John Calvin. They also removed the reference to Enlightenment ideas in the standard, requiring that students should simply learn about the influence of the writings of various thinkers (including Calvin and Aquinas). Science is in a street fight with anti-science, as Nature has argued. Now the forces of the dark ages are taking on the Enlightenment itself. As the NYT reported, Last year, the Texas Board of Education adopted language requiring that teachers present all sides of the evidence on evolution and global warming (see How ultraconservative Texans are rewriting your kids textbooks and bringing global-warming denial into science class). The Texas Board of Education wants dumber kids. Thursday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported: Ken Mercer, a member of the State Board of Education, wants Texas students to know about both the good and the bad that government can offer, he said Thursday. So, he introduced an amendment to state social studies curriculum standards that said: understand how government taxation and regulations can serve as restriction to private enterprise. He said the students need to know that over-regulation and over-taxation can inhibit …

The next great advance in biology will change more than science textbooks – it will revolutionise the way you live your life. Dr. Bruce H. Lipton explains “In the past, weve been taught that living beings are like machines run by biochemicals and DNA. What we now know is that our entire biology is shaped by the intelligence of each of our fifty trillion cells. And the single most important way to influence them is through the energy of our beliefs.” This world renowned cellular biologist explores the mysteries of: * The science of epigenetics: why biologists must look further than DNA to find out what shapes life – and how that affects you * Bridging the gap between quantum mechanics and biology – the key to knowing how your cells “listen” to the energy of your thoughts * The chemistry of stress and love – how your body, mind, and immune system change with each emotional state * Turning the immense power of your subconscious mind into your most valuable tool for health and wellbeing, and much more

Destroying America from Inside the Classroom I have reported many times in the pages of the DeWeese Report about how public school classrooms are being used, not for the teaching of academic knowledge, but for behavior modification to change the students attitudes, values and beliefs. Barack Obama is now driving to control classroom curriculum based on United Nations Globalism. Many parents want to deny this is happening. Not in my childs school, they tell me. If you….. www.newswithviews.com by Tom DeWeese By Dr. Kent Hovind www.drdino.com See how evolutionists have permeated public school textbooks with false and fraudulent information simply to promote their religious world view. Learn what you can do to stop this mass indoctrination. Every public school student, teacher, and school board member needs to watch this. (Yes I know that Dr. Hovind had a problem with taxes and was sent to jail. Did he receive a just decision with the anti-God legal system in America? Shouldn’t the brainwashing in the schools be grounds for legal action against those doing it?

For people like me who prefer “Idiot’s Guide” books to textbooks – This episode covers the discovery of the so-called “Lorentz Transformations”. These equations, which finally offered a potential answer to the questions raised by the Michelson-Morley experiments, would eventually lead to Einstein’s theory of relativity.
