IMPORTANT NOTE: All posts about prominent figures reflect facts gleaned for informational purposes only and will be updated as further information is found. They are not to be construed as anything other than each person’s history as it pertains to issues that may be of importance to most tea partiers. IT IS NEVER TO BE CONSTRUED AS AN ATTACK or ENDORSEMENT either way. The NH Tea Party is a Coalition of 40+ new or long standing groups who retain their own group autonomy with regard to endorsements, raising money, etc but who have banded together to exchange info about events, and local, state and federal issues, and to support each other about same, and to show support for the ‘tea party movement’.
This video immediately raises questions about Tim Pawlenty. Will his lack of understanding of this program run by the UN and designed to promote ‘world government’ to our students be fatal to him in the primary?
According to the group EdWatch, Pawlenty was fought on IB but would not listen. They recently stated;
“EdWatch fought with Pawlenty all the way down the road as IB grew. A member of EdWatch even sat in as a “teacher” for the IB Introduction seminar and audio-taped the entire thing. Pawlenty hand-picked a dept of ed that not only was friendly to IB but endorsed it, and then used state funds to run these conferences, trainings, etc..”

Excerpt:
“With the advent of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) in 1965 that began official federal interference in education to 1994 with Goals 2000 which gave Minnesota the disastrous Profile of Learning to No Child Left Behind which gave us the impossible to meet AYP, the testing frenzy, International Baccalaureate which promotes UN principles over those of the US and a federally subsidized textbook on the Constitution that manages to leave out teaching of the 2nd, 9th and 10th amendments and now to Race to the Top which demands these common core standards that will give us a national curriculum and national tests, we have steadily given up our rights as both citizens and legislators to control the educational destiny of our children in exchange for what amounts to about 2-4% of Minnesota’s education budget for one year.”
