Asserting that young U.S. schoolchildren may not be “comfortable” solving a simple addition problem such as 9+6, a Common Core math teacher is providing a minute-long, abstract explanation of how kids can add an extra step to avoid the number problem.

Thursday on Fox News’ “The Five,” host Greg Gutfeld shared a “Homework Helper” video in which the teacher, Ilene Ryan, states, “Our young learners might not be altogether comfortable thinking about what 9+6 is. They are quite comfortable thinking about their friend, 10. Ten is emphasized in our young grades as we’re working in a base 10 system. So if we can partner nine to a number and anchor 10, we can help our students see what 9+6 is.”

The teacher then proceeds to “decompose” the six, explaining that the number is “made up of parts,” including one and five. She then “anchors” the nine to the one to make 10 and adds 10+5 to get 15.

“Partner, anchor, decompose?” Gutfeld asked. “That’s not math. That’s ‘The Silence of the Lambs!’”

The instruction video was posted on YouTube, where it has received more than 150 comments, including the following one from a poster known as “pastorart1974″:

“The young Marine, on the battlefield, knows his rifle has a 15 round [magazine]. He has fired 6 rounds already. His sergeant asks how many rounds he has left. During the Vietnam War, the Marine replies, 9!

“In our next war, by the time our young Marine figures out the answer, he and his sergeant have been killed by the enemy.”

Other reactions include the following:

• “[T]his effort to ‘dumb down’ the basics for the sake of a touchy feely approach is beyond me. Why wouldn’t I feel ‘uncomfortable’ about adding 9+1? Additionally, decomposing 6 involves an additional math step. “

• “Let me get this straight, 9+6 is ‘uncomfortable’ but 1+5 and 1+9 are not.  What!?  ‘Our friend 10.’ Seriously!? Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to be punished in the worst possibly way. They should be forced to do all the Common Core homework.”

• “I think I just had a stroke. … Why would I want my grandchildren to be subjected to this nonsense?  What self-righteous idiot sits around and thinks up this cr-p? Then we wonder why we are NOT the leaders in education.”

• “And this is the exact reason when a young person hands me change from a $20 on a $16.38 bill, they freak out. They are trying to figure out how to ‘decompose’ 38 cents instead of just doing SIMPLE MATH. Hell, they even have a machine to tell them how much money to actually hand me back!”

• “Close all government schools and fire all government teachers ASAP.”

• “Honestly, I’m starting to think this is all part of some plan to destroy us from within. “

• “There’s a very particular reason common core isn’t synonymous with common sense.”\

• “9 + 6 = 15 … Look, I solved it while also skipping the bulls–t.”

Military In Texas On Higher Alert Due To Potential ISIS Threat. Obama Probably Will Fire Commander For Taking Such An Action!

TEXAS FACING 'CLEAR AND PRESENT THREAT' FROM ISIS

Judicial Watch says security increased at Army post for a reason

The Washington watchdog organization that earlier reported the presence of ISIS factions in Mexico, just across the border from Texas, now says there appears to be a “clear and present threat” to the state, because of the increased security efforts being implemented at a key military installation

In a report Thursday, Judicial Watch said its military sources believe that the increase in security “indicates that [the Army post] is a target.”

“It’s a significant issue when this is done,” retired Army Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin said of the higher security measures at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas – which is just across the border from Juarez, Mexico

“That means they’re getting a threat stream. Fort Bliss had to have a clear and present threat,” said the former Delta Force commander who also spent four years as Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence.

Local media outlets, such as KVIA Television, had reported on the post statement regarding increased security.

Spokesman Lt. Col. Lee Peters over the weekend issued the statement about the security, as well as an advisory that accessing the post may take a little more time.

“Based on [Department of Defense] guidance from recent nationwide incidents, and our own internal assessments coupled with recent media reporting, we decided to implement increased security measures on Bliss. These changes are not as a result of a specific threat but rather to simply get prudent security measures in place to protect our military, employees and visitors,” the statement said.

That move was made shortly after Judicial Watch said, “Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices.”

The report had said, “High-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed to Judicial Watch that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border has been issued. Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning this imminent terrorist threat.”

The organization said the sources “reveal that the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) is confirmed to now be operating in Juarez, a famously crime-infested narcotics hotbed situated across from El Paso, Texas. Violent crimes are so rampant in Juarez that the U.S. State Department has issued a number of travel warnings for anyone planning to go there. The last one was issued just a few days ago.”

The report said intel officers have heard “radio talk and chatter indicating that the terrorist groups are going to ‘carry out an attack on the border.’”

The report said commanders at Fort Bliss were briefed.

The concern was heightened because of the looming anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks by Muslim terrorist on New York and Washington.

And it comes just after Barack Obama told the nation he doesn’t have a strategy yet to battle ISIS.

Judicial Watch also has reported on the growing number of illegal aliens entering the U.S. from Mexico who actually are from “terrorist nations like Yemen, Iran, Sudan, Somalia and Afghanistan.”

Other sources have said another U.S. Army post in Texas, Fort Hood, also is a target.

That installation actually was attacked by a Muslim, a “radical Army psychiatrist,” Nidal Hasan, who shot and killed 13 after chanting, “Allahu akbar.”

“Given how easy it is to cross the border, terrorist[s] can easily cross it,” Boykin warned.

Latino Reporter Gets Her Question Slapped Down By Two Americans!

Latina Reporter Gets OWNED After Asking White Man If He’s Racist

IN NEWS, OPINION, POLITICS, VIDEOS / BY SEAN BROWN / ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2014 AT 7:40 PM /

A Latina reporter was left speechless after trying to make a white man look bad by asking if he is racist, immediately following being attacked by a group of Latino protesters.

As we all know, one of the favorite narratives of the pro-illegal crowd and the left is that those opposed to illegal immigration are somehow racist, even though we only push for the proper immigration laws to be followed. When this reporter for UniVision attempted to ask a man a loaded question, absolute hilarity ensued as he and his friend – who just happened to be black – put her right in the proper place for trying to paint him as racist to her Latino audience.

Kudos to him and his friend for making her feel every bit as stupid as the question she asked him.

Make sure you share this if you’re tired of being labeled as racist for only wanting people to abide by our laws.

Coming To A Street Near You--Public Beheading. It Happened Yesterday At 1 PM In London

BREAKING: Woman Publicly Beheaded in Broad Daylight on London Street

IN NEWS, OPINION, WORLD NEWS / BY SEAN BROWN / ON SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 AT 12:20 PM /

Just two days after the video showing the execution of American journalist Steven Sotloff, a disturbing report has emerged from London of a woman who was publicly beheaded on a residential street.

Sky News reports that the woman was found beheaded just after 1 p.m. in the North London suburb of Edmonton after witnesses called police to report a stabbing.

Paramedics and a rescue helicopter were dispatched to the scene to attempt to save the woman’s life, according to the Guardian. However, once they arrived they realized the woman was dead due to the extent of her injuries.

Lead investigator John Sandlin said, “This was a highly visible attack in broad daylight on a residential street.”

“I can understand why this may cause people concern, however we are confident that we are not looking for anyone else at this stage.”

He then tried to downplay the possibility that the attack was terrorism-related.

Metropolitan Police gave few details of the attack but said they detained a man shortly after the murder who witnesses saw running around the area. The 25-year-old in custody is said to have been roaming the streets with a machete, according to MetroUK.

There’s not much more information available on the attack as it just happened this morning, but we will be updating this story as more information becomes available.

It will be interesting to see exactly who was responsible for the attack considering there’s pretty much only one group of people who like to cut off people’s heads, and that particular group of people has already invaded Great Britain.

Is The US Nuts Or Are We So Politically Correct That We Cannot See What Is Happening?

A nation that does not allow to show Nativity scenes or the Ten Commandments is lenient to Muslims who can display whatever they want anywhere even in the middle of Manhattan. Where are the atheists that are so sensitive to Christianity (and Judaism) but mute about Islam. Did anybody hear them complain about Islam in Madison Ave. in New York?

 

  

 

‎Subject:   New York City on Madison Ave

We knew it was coming, but NEVER expected it this soon  This is in NYC on Madison Ave - not France, Yemen, Kenya or the Middle East*  A Christian Nation cannot put up a Christmas scene of the baby Jesus in a public place, but the Muslims can stop normal traffic every Friday afternoon by worshiping in the streets.... Now in America & Canada.

This is Political Correctness gone crazy.. Scary, isn't it?   Is there a message here????                                                                          They are claiming America & Canada for Allah. If we don't wake up soon, we are going to "politically correct" ourselves right out of our own country!       It's time to make some changes people!
