In a prepared statement the VPA stated, \u201cHenceforth history shall not be taught, discussed, mentioned or referenced in any Vermont educational institution from pre-school to graduation. In addition, all teaching materials, reference books, records and memorabilia, newspapers, periodicals relating to history shall be immediately removed from school properties and destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked if such items as sports trophies were included, VPA spokesperson Mya Futures stated, \u201cOf course, because they are history.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Futures also says the VPA included grading records, disciplinary records, yearbooks, and school pictures on their list of over a hundred historical archival records that must depart \u201cimmediately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burlington School Board member Tony Liberalty praised the decision. Reached at Battery Park, Liberalty shouted back over a bullhorn that school districts will save money by eliminating history departments. Shortly after his statement, Liberalty slipped, or was pushed, in front of a Burlington Police cruiser operated by a social worker en-route to a call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vermont Teachers Association and Steel Workers Union also expressed satisfaction at the decision.\u00a0In their prepared response it was pointed out that, \u201cAll text books are historical and will be gone.\u00a0Teachers will not have to do anything but talk about the future to students. Forget about yesterday is a wonderful concept since now yesterday never existed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The VPA is looking into the future, as it now cannot look back, to eliminate all education in school buildings and have only \u201cZoom Schools.&#8221; One concern is how to deal with Zoom Bomb Threats by those protesting for historical restorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>History of any kind is gone from the schools in Vermont.\u00a0Parental guidelines will not be published as they are based on historical actions and therefore protected from disclosure by the latest decision. As Mya Futures stated, \u201cThe future is now, the past is past, so therefore cannot be discussed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>MONTPELIER &#8211; Responding to complaints that history is biased and disrespectful, the dominating group of educational intellectuals in Vermont has ruled that all history has <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/2020\/09\/24\/vermont-principals-association-eliminates-all-history-in-vermont-schools\/\" title=\"Vermont Principals Association Eliminates All History in Vermont Schools\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5018,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[5],"tags":[14],"coauthors":[91],"class_list":["post-5017","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-montpelier","tag-montpelier"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/TWFI-2020_09_24.png","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8JVRF-1iV","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5017"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5017"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5017\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5019,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5017\/revisions\/5019"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5017"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5017"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=5017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
