If ever there was a time to teach our children the true history of a republic and the rights endowed to the citizens under such a government, it is now. Not only are Obama and his administration leading us down a path of socialism/communism, they are more than ready to sign a treaty, the UNFCCC(United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change)Treaty, that allows one world governance and massive taxing under the guise of global warming(which has been proven to be a lie) and carbon taxes. This will destroy any sovereignty that America may have. The O administration works harder for the UN than it ever has or ever will for America. They have already put into place the START Treaty and the Small Arms Treaty to disarm us so we can't protect ourselves. Now they want to take or tax anything that produces carbon dioxide. This will destroy much of the free market in America and put us in danger of very high energy and gas prices, just to start with. Perhaps they will decide that sharia law is best for us or that martial law should be imposed upon the citizens of America that can't pay the high taxes that this treaty will impose upon us. One can't say. All that I know and believe is that if we teach our children that their way will work, we don't know what the outcome may be. We do know that a republic and free market works and if anyone is going to keep the republic of America alive and well, it will be our children. Please don't teach them that they should be governed and controlled by the elite as the elite deem fit. Please teach them that 'freedom' and the true American way is what will allow them to create, invent and evolve as human beings, in the best manner possible. =Respectfully American=

Clarification of the difference between a Republic and a Democracy indeed NEEDS to be done not only in our schools but in our communities. Once the differences, including the benefits (and detriments) between a Democracy and a Republic, are outlined, most folks will see why the founding fathers emphasized and used the term REPUBLIC. It is not merely a choice in words, but what will/can occur from each of these forms of government ! !

Those who believe and propagate the lies of socialism, and despise the roots of our Republic, will not suddenly change thier beliefs.

My primary concern is with BYU rather than the ASD. The ASD is a product of the public education system, noted over past decades for its drift toward socialism under such organizations as the NEA and adopting the tenets of John Dewey and many other notorious socialists.
BYU, on the other hand, is a private religious institution funded and supervised by the LDS Church. How in the name of reason and logic such an institution can uphold the principles of powerful Freedom advocates like Ezra Taft Benson, Marion G. Romney and David O. McKay while advocating close linkage between the BYU Law School and the United Nations and while advocating the teaching of social humanism in the Primary and Secondary Education curriculum is beyond understanding! Another evidence of the amazing drift of BYU is the recent way in which BYU has used its power to award honorary degrees as a means of aligning itself with the powerful elitists running our Nation...to wit: awarding Richard Cheney an Honorary Doctoral degree in public service, hosting Zbigniew Brzezinski (co-founder of the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller).
There is indeed great reason to be concerned about the direction the public and private educational systems in Utah County are drifting.

Thank you for fighting to keep our Constitution, and therefore our Constitutional rights and freedoms alive. Once that inspired document is gone from schools, it will soon thereafter disappear from courthouses and public buildings, and then it won't be found anywhere - ie. the 10 commandments.

If you don't have that courage, move to Germany so you can eek out your miserable, agnostic, negative, socialist life in good company.

I changed from left libertarian to strict republican. I am not affiliated with any political party, only believe in "Old Republic" values. My observance of liberal ideals informed by irrational and self-righteous attitudes caused my transition from moderate left to hard right. Alpine School District's system of imposing political belief is the best argument for home schooling; the traditional media usually minimize the parents' concern and paint the parents' and strict republicans' view as paranoid and ludicrous like Salt Lake Tribune have done with a biased poll. Liberalism by means of legislating and imposing socialism/communism (forced integration, indoctrination by Orwellian doublespeak "enculturation," etc) produce the negative effects that only harm the Republic's welfare, security, and happiness for upstanding citizens. Opposition to creeping effects of communism is obedience to Founding Fathers' vision of a perfect Union. It is the depraved liberals who have altered America to represent the ideals of how a "pure" democracy should be that undermine and eventually destroy the traditional values. I have met the likes of liberals who believe in multiculturalism by forced integration, open immigration, full homosexual/degenerate rights, draconian gun control and minimizing self-defense rights, etc and their attitude is typically self-righteous and arrogant believing their IDEOLOGY to be absolutely right irrespective of the truth of reality. This ideology mandating "ideological purity" came from Jacobin faction after 1789 French Revolution, and Jacobin faction is representative of the radicalized Democratic Party. Protect yourself, your loved ones, and your family & friends by resisting the Jacobin plague.

As parents it is our responsibility to make sure our kids our properly educated and not brain washed by the government’s perspective. The ASD is inherently not doing their job on this matter. The United States was built upon Constitutional Republic not a democracy, (http://www.lexrex.com/enlightened/AmericanIdeal/aspects/demrep.html). People have we forgotten the Pledge Of Allegiance? “And To The Republic For Which It Stands”. Why is ASD not teaching this?
ASD needs to change the American History curriculum, or we need to make sure those individuals in the Alpine school district are replaced with those who will.

I had a friend ask me what the difference was after seeing this article on KSL. Here is an excellent site (I have no affiliation but it does an excellent job) I found to help them understand the difference - http://www.lexrex.com/enlightened/AmericanIdeal/aspects/demrep.html.

In the response by the ASD about their Mission Statement they state - "...educational opportunities that America provides for all her children; boys and girls, rich and poor. We chose ‘our democracy’ to reflect both a government with power vested in the people and our freedoms. We not only recognize that our government is a republic ... The use of the word democracy underscores the type of republic found in the United States."

It is truly sad that they are incorrect in our form of government. We are a Constitutional Republic that has the ability to protect the rights of individuals and minority groups thanks to the Constitution. In their own statement they cannot say that we have a democracy and then say they provide for all of America's children. A democracy is unlimited majority rule with no protection of individual rights, and therefore not for all her children.

I support your goal to correct this statement and hopefully educate our own public school system about our true form of government.

We must all step up and do what we can to save our Divinely Inspired Constitution. Thankfully it is still hanging by a thread. We need to work together to save the freedoms we still enjoy as we fight to restore the Republic as was set-up by the God of Heaven, through the Founding Fathers for this very purpose.

If freedom-loving people do not stand together and restore limited Constitutional government, based on God’s laws, then the enemies of Christ will yet be the means of bringing down another civilization.

I am a former school teacher from Nevada having moved to Utah five years ago. I am presently substitute teaching at the high school level. I very much endorse the awareness and awakening that is taking place in the ASD.
Two excellent sources to better appreciate and contrast the terms republic and democracy are 1. The Five Thousand Year Leap by W.C. Skousen the 12th principle pages 153-161,and 2. To Preserve The Nation,American Government and Lecture Series and book 2009 edition pages 57-59. Bradley's web site is www.ToPreserveTheNation.com.
These are two of the best explanations I have come across and are very timely considering the nature of the debate and obvious lack of awareness as expressed by teachers, parents, and students in understanding these two principles of government.

I was an employee of Alpine school district and attended many meetings were I encountered that heinous sign. It is also in the teacher learning center adjacent to the district office. It used to infuriate me, though I did not realize the ramifications at that time. I now teach history at a private school and am teaching my students about "true" American history. We are in fact learning this week about the difference between a democratic republic and a democracy. I admit I was not informed until I did my research. This was very timely.

I left ASD for these very intrusions into true and revisionist history. I was there when they adopted investigations 10-12 years ago. It was the night before Thanksgiving break and the district posted a most disturbing letter on their website to the patrons of district. They basically said they appreciated all of the concern and input, but the district was going to move forward with Investigations because it was sound mathematically and the district knows what was best for the students as a whole. I could kick myself for not printing it off.

Thanks for being a watchdog and getting this off of the ground. If I can be of assistance I would be more than happy. The powers that be there need to go as does the board for perpetuating this destruction of our children!

It is time we the parents take back control of the education of our children rather than letting the government indoctrinate or enculturate. It is obvious that our State Board of Education is no better than our local boards of education. We must take courage and stand for truth and right in all places and at all times.

It has long been a push by many in the media (and others) to substitute the word democracy when they should have used republic. They have succeeded to the point where if you ask most people, they would say America is a democracy. I just finished reading "The 5,000 Year Leap," which I highly recommend everyone read. Here is a paragraph from that book, "Druing the early 1900s an ideaological war erupted, and the word "democracy" became one of the casualties. Today, the average American uses the term "democracy" to describe America's traditional Constitutional republic. But technically speaking, it is not. The Founders had hoped that their descendants would maintain a clear distinction between a democracy and a rebublic. The creation of the current confusion developed as a result of a new movement in the United States. Approximately 100 people met in New York in 1905 and organized what they called the Intercollegiate Socialist Society (ISS). Chapters were established on more than sixty college and university campuses coast-to-coast. In time the co-directors of the movement became Harry W. Laidler and Norman Thomas. Laidler explained that the ISS was set up to "throw light on the world-wide movement of industrial DEMOCRACY known as socialism." (The 5,000 Year Leap, page 153.)

The form of government enjoyed in the United States is amazing. My family lived overseas for an extended period of time because of my husbands work and it was so sad to watch via TV flag burning and the disrespect for this great land that was shown while we were gone. We were excited to return but found things drastically changed morally and socially and the lack of caring for what was happening was so sad. We need to have an awakening to what is happening right in front of our noses and not wait for someone else to do the corrections needed but approach with intelligent willing hands and hearts to make changes that will maintain the principles set forth by our founding fathers. They were intelligent, educated, willing men that were not afraid to work hard to attain those rights and privileges that we now still enjoy, but could loose if not diligent in what we proceed with now.

There are legal rights and obligations of our Republic's citizenry and then there are the moral obligations of taking care of our neighbors. I believe that part of the appeal of social democracy is a result of our general failure as a society to take care of one another without governmental intervention. Should we, as a nation of individuals, show greater care and concern for those who struggle and are marginalized, either by choice or circumstance, there would be less interest in establishing a democracy as our form of government.

The definition for democracy currently is similar to republic (Websters 2005). For those of us who reverence the founders, the inspiration of the Constitution, separation of powers, limited Fed. Gov. etc., we would like to return to the original meaning of the word. We would like all this wonderful history taught in our public schools, that we may remain a strong republic and maintain our freedoms. Religion, as far as a Creator who directs the affairs of men, common knowledge to all religions on earth, and morality need to be taught also. ASD has published this statement of Thomas Jefferson, "The purpose of public education is two-fold: first to prepare all individuals for citizenship by developing within them the capacity for full and intelligent participation in the process of deliberation necessary for self rule, and second, to identify and develop responsible leadership from the talents and abilities of individuals rather than from family or group privilege, economic wealth, religion or race."

Robert Jensen, Orem, UT, Citizen
There is no greater calling than that of educator. For if decay creeps in at the education level nothing of a sure and solid foundation may grow and survive, let alone flourish. We must be vigilant in policing the education system both in public and at home with children. Too long have the masses left themselves ignorant of the events influencing their lives. Knowledge is power over the damnation of ignorance. Knowledge consists of more than just learning but observation and perspective as well. Perspective in reqards to looking after our neighbors and their welfare by laws and obedience to those laws, which protect not only them but us as well. We cannot guarantee our own freedom without the protection of our neighbors by the laws we agree to live by.
