Texas approves textbooks with Moses as Founding Father

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressiv ... ing-father

Christian conservatives win, children lose: Texas textbooks will teach public school students that the Founding Fathers based the Constitution on the Bible, and the American system of democracy was inspired by Moses.

Well, well, didn't American Hindus had to litigate in courts to correct errors and outright false propaganda in textbooks? Guess secularism is different in America, considering, oh well, it's America!

On Friday the Republican-controlled Texas State Board of Education voted along party lines 10-5 to approve the biased and inaccurate textbooks. {where are our secularists, then again, secularists go to courts only when it comes to Hinduism!}
..
The textbooks were written to align with instructional standards that the Board of Education approved back in 2010 with the explicit intention of forcing social studies teaching to adhere to a conservative Christian agenda. The standards require teachers to emphasize America’s so called “Christian heritage.”
..
Critics called the whole process into question after publishers posted a number of last-minute changes to the textbooks yesterday, leaving board members and observers without time to figure out exactly what was in the approved texts.
According to reports, scholars did not have an opportunity to review and comment on the numerous changes publishers have submitted since the last public hearing. Some of those changes appeared to have been negotiated with state board members behind closed doors. {Christian education standards? What does that say about recognizing such AMERICAN publishers and AMERICAN board}
..
“What we saw today shows very clearly that the process the State Board of Education uses to adopt textbooks is a sham. This board adopted textbooks with numerous late changes that the public had little opportunity to review and comment on and that even board members themselves admitted they had not read. They can’t honestly say they know what’s in these textbooks , which could be in classrooms for a decade.”
..
Moses influenced the writing of the Constitution and that the roots of democracy can be found in the Old Testament.
..
“inventions and exaggerations” about Christianity’s influence on the Founding Fathers and, by extension, the formation of American democracy. .. would lead students to believe that “Moses was the first American.” .. is part of a concerted effort by Christian extremists to promote the idea that the United States is a “redeemer nation” – giving a divine justification for supposed American exceptionalism.
..

This is the standards of history in the west, and we are still debating AIT that was taught for hundreds of years in India as invented by some goras! Hope there are not any educational institutions affiliated to Texas Christian extremist education bodies and boards.

Only in India, such movies are considered hits (PK) and Adam Sandler types are celebrated as super duper secular heroes and become Amir Khan and such pseudos.

God only know what would happen if such a movie is made in India, under excuse of freedom of expression, for 'particular' minorities. That would be not allowed in secularism, samje ki nahi, and all alphabet NGOs, 'international' moral keepers and such and such leaders will have fodder to lecture Indians about what not.

But fikar not, this is about America and secularism in America and all phreedoms and so on and so forth. Nothing changes.

Texas shooting: Nine dead in Waco shootout between rival biker gangs in Twin Peaks restaurant car park

Nine people were shot dead as rival motorcycle gangs clashed in a car park in Waco, Texas.

Police said at least two gangs were involved in the shootout which began after an argument inside the nearby Twin Peaks restaurant spilled outside, the local ABC News station reported. It added that several other people were injured. Some customers hid inside a freezer when the violence began.

Police found a number of guns along with chains, knives, bats and clubs at the scene.

Police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton told KWTX-TV there were 'multiple victims' after gunfire erupted between rival biker gangs at the restaurant

Waco police sergeant Patrick Swanton told the Waco Tribune: “A lot of innocent people could have been injured today. These are very dangerous, hostile criminal biker gangs.”

The shooting began despite the presence of 12 police officers – including a Swat team – and Texas state troopers, either at Twin Peaks or in the area, in order to monitor a meeting between two biker gangs. A third gang may also have been present.

The officers fired shots and “saved lives by keeping this from spilling into a busy Sunday morning,” Sgt Swanton said.

He added that managers at the Twin Peaks restaurant knew about “issues” relating to the biker gangs but “continued to let those groups of people into their business”. “The management wanted them here,” he said.

The newspaper said that numerous people had been arrested.

Michelle Logan, 37, who was in the Twin Peaks at the time and knows some of the people involved in the shooting, told the Tribune: “There were maybe 30 guns being fired in the parking lot, maybe 100 rounds. They just opened fire.”

“There’s a lot of people in the hospital, a lot of people shot.”

She described the shooting as a “set up”.

Waco police reported on their Facebook page: "Multiple injuries to include multiple fatalities at Twin Peak Shooting. Officers were on scene when shooting started. No officers have been injured."

The police Twitter feed had previously warned people to avoid the Central Texas Market Place, where officers were working at a shooting at a Twin Peaks restaurant.

Nine dead in Texas biker gangs carpark shootout
An argument between five rival biker gangs at a meeting in Texas erupts into gunfire
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... otout.html

By Peter Foster, Washington, video source AP
17 May 2015

A meeting of several rival biker gangs in the US state of Texas turned to carnage on Sunday after an argument left at least nine dead and 18 more injured following a shootout.

The fight between five rival gangs turned a local bar into a “shooting gallery”, a local television station in Waco, Texas reported, as the tattoo-covered bikers unloaded their weapons at each other. There were between 150 and 200 gang members in the restaurant at the time.

Patrick Swanton, a sergeant with Waco police, told the local KWTX news station that the shooting had started just after midday local time [7pmBST] when the gangs, which had been at loggerheads for some weeks, had a disagreement. Before violence broke out the meeting had focused on turf and recruitment, he said.

Sgt Swanton said eight people died at the scene of the shooting and another person at a hospital. He told the Waco Tribune-Herald that the nine killed were all members of biker gangs.

A witness who was having lunch across the parking lot at Don Carlos Mexican Restaurant said he and his family had just paid their bill and had walked into the parking lot when they heard the crackle of gunfire break the peace of a Sunday afternoon.

"We crouched down in front of our pick-up truck because that was the only cover we had,” the man, who asked not to be identified, told KWTX.

Sgt Swanton said the fight quickly escalated from “fists and feet to chains, clubs and knives, then to gunfire” leaving the area in “absolute chaos” as police and tactical SWAT teams arrived and began firing their own weapons as they sought to contain the violence.

No bystanders, police or restaurant workers were killed in the incident which saw two major roads being closed and the area around the Twin Peaks bar – a chain renowned for its scantily clad waitresses – cordoned off as ambulances moved in to take away the wounded.

Local police said they had been working for several weeks to diffuse growing tension between the biker gangs, with a local district attorney publicly warning of brewing trouble with out-of-town gangs in interviews two weeks ago.

On Sunday night local police advised local people to stay in their homes and keep away from the area, fearing that the rival gangs would be seeking retaliation and violence could flare in other areas.

A video shot from a nearby restaurant and posted on social media showed many of the bikers lying on the ground as crouching police covered them with weapons drawn.

"Someone's been shot," says one of the bystanders, pointing towards a man lying on the ground.

Saul Cornejo Bravo was in the Don Carlos Mexican Restaurant across the car park from Twin Peaks when the shots were fired.

"We head the gunshots and then these two biker guys come running in and dive into the restroom," he told The Telegraph, "And then a third man runs in and says ‘they’re shooting! they’re shooting!' and suddenly everyone is ducking for cover under the tables."

The 19-year-old economics student who is a part-time waiter at the restaurant said the biker gangs were regulars at the Twin Peaks on Thursday nights, and that he had been surprised to see so many congregating early on a Sunday morning.

"It did seem strange, but we see them often and they've never been fighting before. It all happened so quickly, but once people saw that the police were right there on the scene dealing with the situation, they calmed down.

"I was amazed when I heard on the news that nine had died. I saw five people injured, including one guy who looked dead, but I was just shocked that so many people got hurt that quickly."

Officers who had had anticipated trouble and staked the restaurant out in force before shots were even fired, said that they had recovered more than 100 weapons from the scene.

Following the shootout there were reports that some Waco bars and restaurants were closing early due to fears over more violence.

Waco shootings: 192 arrested and face charges of 'engaging in organised crime'

Texas police confirm nearly 200 arrested and facing charges after the Waco bike-gang shootings in which nine people died.
18 May 2015

Police in Waco, Texas said on Monday that 192 people were being arrested in connection with a biker gang shootout that left nine dead and 18 injured a day earlier.

Those under arrest will face charges of engaging in organised crime, police said in a statement. A simmering feud among rival biker gangs boiled over at Twin Peaks sports bar on Sunday, leading to a deadly gun battle in the parking lot.

The Texas alcoholic beverage commission is closing Twin Peaks, located at a shopping mall in the central Texas city, for at least seven days "due to the ongoing danger it presents to our community," police said.

The commission is conducting a parallel investigation and may take further action, according to the police statement.

Parts of downtown Waco were locked down, and officials stopped and questioned motorcycle riders. Agents from the FBI and federal bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives were assisting local and state authorities in the investigation.

Separately, Sgt Patrick Swanton said police officials have been threatened since the shooting.

The violence erupted shortly after midday in the Twin Peaks restaurant in central Texas where members of at least five rival gangs had gathered for a meeting.

Preliminary findings indicate a dispute broke out in a bathroom, escalated to include knives and firearms, and eventually spilled into the restaurant parking lot, according to police.

Authorities increased security to quell fresh attempts at criminal activity in the town, Mr Swanton said.
"I was amazed that we didn't have innocent civilians killed or injured," Mr Swanton said.

The interior of the restaurant was littered with bullet casings, knives, a club, bodies and pools of blood, he added.

Authorities were processing the evidence at the scene, south of Dallas. About 150 to 200 bikers were inside during the shootout.

Police and the operators of Twin Peaks were aware of the meeting in advance, Mr Swanton said, and at least 12 Waco officers in addition to state troopers were outside the restaurant, part of a national chain that features scantily clad waitresses, when the fight began.

Officers shot armed bikers, Mr Swanton said, adding that the actions of law enforcement prevented further deaths. It was immediately clear whether any of the nine dead were killed by police officers.

Parnell McNamara, McLennan county sheriff, whose office is involved in the investigation, said all nine who were killed were members of the Bandidos or Cossacks gangs.

In a 2014 gang threat assessment, the Texas department of public safety classified the Bandidos as a "Tier 2" threat, the second highest. Other groups in that tier included the Bloods, Crips and Aryan Brotherhood of Texas.

The Bandidos, formed in the 1960s, are involved in trafficking cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamines, according to the US department of justice.

The Texas assessment does not mention the Cossacks

Cossacks must be sarkari bikers.

Bandidos could be Hispanic only.

So most likely racist violence in biker gangs.

Who were the 3rd gang?

TSJones · Post by **TSJones** » 18 May 2015 23:21

No, it's mostly crazy white dudes who are involved in drugs most of it methamphetamines(sp?). There is some cocaine but that is a little too high class for their liking. And a lot of marijuana. I've seen them up close and personal. It is true the Bandidos have a southwest American heritage and there are hispanics in the gang. it is one of the few MCs that will tolerate some non whites. And surprisingly they maybe the most bloody and violent of the MCs and especially vicious. Reflecting their all-American heritage i suppose, although they do have international affliates in Canada, Norway and Sweden.

The Cossacks are all white dudes most from north and west Texas. They have an afillate club called the Scimatars(sp?) mostly from central and north Texas.

bad blood exists because a Bandido (a white dude and president of the Abilene, Tx chapter) knifed two Cossacks at a resturaunt. thus, the settling of scores at Waco bar.

A lot of the MCs are filled with ex-Marines, a lot of them with bad military discharges although some of them had honorable discharges. Anyway, that is how I personally know of them. You can almost predict who is going to wind up in an MC while serving in the US military. They miss the camraderie, the do or die attitude, and gravitate there after getting out of the military. And wind up pushing drugs for the money.

Right on target. Oh!

Poor choice of words!
This is like a wild west bar brawl where they are too overfed to throw chairs, instead they use AK-47s. Wonder why these gangs are not supplied with grenades and flamethrowers for use in these intramural competitions, they could carry out Darwinism much better. Also, sounds like most of the dead are from the police joining the fun. "Saving lives" with this pest-e-sha'eed.

Oh, all right! This explains it, makes perfect sense!(if you realize these are ALL sh1theads)

(CNN)—Like some families, biker gangs tend to settle scores among themselves. Privately, if not quietly.

But on Sunday, a feud between two rival biker groups -- the Bandidos and Cossacks -- broke into the open in a big way.

At least nine people were killed when a fight erupted at a Waco, Texas, restaurant, with the clash escalating in minutes from fists to guns.

Eighteen people were hospitalized, according to Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton, who said that all of the victims were bikers. He declined to name the gangs involved.

Photos from the scene showed bikers wearing the insignias of the Cossacks, Bandidos, Scimitars and Vaqueros. But according to a memo sent to law enforcement officers in the wake of the shooting, a member of the Bandidos, and a former informant who infiltrated biker clubs, the beef was primarily between the Bandidos and Cossacks.

It boils down to territory, said the informant, who goes by the name "Charles Falco."

A fight broke out among rival biker gangs in Waco, Texas, on Sunday, May 17, leaving at least nine people dead. The sheriff's office has begun releasing mugshots of the 170 people arrested. McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara said bond was being set at $1 million for each of them. 

"The Bandidos are the biggest motorcycle gang in Texas, and they don't allow other motorcycle gangs to enter that state. They will allow other motorcycles clubs to exist, but they're not allowed to wear that state bottom rocker. If they do, they face the onslaught of the Bandidos," Falco told CNN's Sara Sidner.

The bottom rocker refers to a state name on the back of a biker's vest. According to Falco, it can indicate where someone is from, as well as claim territory for that club.

"The Cossacks decided that they were big enough now to go ahead and wear the Texas bottom rocker, and basically tell the Bandidos that they're ready for war," he said.

Sunday's fight, Falco predicted, will make matters exponentially worse between the two gangs.

"It's definitely on, now," he said. "As long as they exist, they will be at war."

Bulletin warned of 'potential war'

That potential has apparently been on the radar of Texas authorities for some time.

WFAA, a news station in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, reported on a law enforcement bulletin from May 1, which detailed growing tensions between the Bandidos and Cossacks.

"Violence between members of the Bandidos OMG and the Cossacks MC has increased in Texas with no indication of diminishing," the bulletin read. "The conflict may stem from Cossacks members refusing to pay Bandidos dues for operating in Texas and for claiming Texas as their territory by wearing the Texas bottom rocker on their vests."

WFAA reported the bulletin was issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety, which declined to tell CNN whether or not the document was genuine. It also declined to provide a copy of it.

The bulletin reportedly said that officers had tried to reduce tensions between the groups, warning them about the "unwanted attention a potential war would bring."

It detailed specific moments in the escalating rivalry, including:

• March 22 -- Approximately 10 Cossacks forced a Bandido to pull over near Lorena, Texas. They attacked the Bandido member with "chains, batons, and metal pipes before stealing his motorcycle." On the same day, a group of Bandidos approached a Cossack at a truck stop in Palo Pinto County. The Cossack member was attacked after he refused to remove a Texas patch from his vest.

• April 7 -- The FBI received information that some 100 Bandidos planned to travel to Odessa, Texas, in early April to start a "war" with Cossacks there.

• April 24 -- The FBI released a report on three recent fights between the Bandidos and Cossacks in east Texas.

"What this is, is if you go back to being a little kid and you're playing 'King of the Hill.' This is 'King of the Hill.' And in Texas, the Bandidos are at the top of the pile, and everybody wants to be at that top level," said Chris Omodt, a former cop and co-author of the book, "Breaking the Code," which is about the Hells Angels.

"It's over the patch, wearing that patch in that state. It's based on that, period," he said.

The country's most notorious biker gangs

'We are not a gang'

Among those killed Sunday was one member of the Bandidos, according to Jimmy Graves, a high-up member of that club.

Graves says he's not aware of the Bandidos having a problem with Cossacks, but "evidently they have an issue."

"They (Cossacks) want to be outlaws," he told CNN's Kyung Lah.

The U.S. Justice Department characterizes the Bandidos as a "growing criminal threat" with at least 2,000 members in 14 countries. It says the gang is involved in the production, transportation and distribution of drugs.

The Justice Department had no such synopsis for the Cossacks, but the book "The One Percenter Encyclopedia: The World of Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs from Abyss Ghosts to Zombies Elite" says they were founded in Texas in 1969 and have a major presence in Australia.

Graves took serious issue with the Bandidos being characterized as a gang. The motorcycle club's website highlights noncriminal endeavors such as its Easter party in Germany or its toy drive in France.

"We are not a gang. We do not do gang things. We are not affiliated with gangs," Graves said. "We didn't do nothing here. We're fighting for our rights. They're saying lies on TV, and telling everybody that Bandidos are after police officers. That's never been."

It is kind of odd that the most prolific amateur sharam-sharam videos in the web, the most scantily clad wimmens in service industry (restaurant/strip et al), the worst drug-riddled towns and the grossest incest seem to happen in these most bious parts of khan.

Poor Little Rich Women

A wife bonus, I was told, might be hammered out in a pre-nup or post-nup, and distributed on the basis of not only how well her husband’s fund had done but her own performance — how well she managed the home budget, whether the kids got into a “good” school — the same way their husbands were rewarded at investment banks. In turn these bonuses were a ticket to a modicum of financial independence and participation in a social sphere where you don’t just go to lunch, you buy a $10,000 table at the benefit luncheon a friend is hosting.

But what exactly did the wife bonus mean? It made sense only in the context of the rigidly gendered social lives of the women I studied. The worldwide ethnographic data is clear: The more stratified and hierarchical the society, and the more sex segregated, the lower the status of women.

Waiting for Your College Advisor Can Apparently Lead to the Police Being Called on You

Video footage has emerged of a Kennesaw State University student being told that the police are being called as a result of him waiting to meet with his advisor

In the 30-second video, a woman can be seen telling student Kevin Bruce that he's committing an act of harassment. When Bruce contends that he isn't harassing anyone, she responds with, "Sitting here until someone is available is harassing them" before retreating to contact campus security.

The bulletin reportedly said that officers had tried to reduce tensions between the groups, warning them about the "unwanted attention a potential war would bring."

It detailed specific moments in the escalating rivalry, including:

March 22 -- Approximately 10 Cossacks forced a Bandido to pull over near Lorena, Texas. They attacked the Bandido member with "chains, batons, and metal pipes before stealing his motorcycle." On the same day, a group of Bandidos approached a Cossack at a truck stop in Palo Pinto County. The Cossack member was attacked after he refused to remove a Texas patch from his vest.
April 7 -- The FBI received information that some 100 Bandidos planned to travel to Odessa, Texas, in early April to start a "war" with Cossacks there.
April 24 -- The FBI released a report on three recent fights between the Bandidos and Cossacks in east Texas.

"What this is, is if you go back to being a little kid and you're playing 'King of the Hill.' This is 'King of the Hill.' And in Texas, the Bandidos are at the top of the pile, and everybody wants to be at that top level," said Chris Omodt, a former cop and co-author of the book, "Breaking the Code," which is about the Hells Angels.

"It's over the patch, wearing that patch in that state. It's based on that, period," he said.

'We are not a gang'

Among those killed Sunday was one member of the Bandidos, according to Jimmy Graves, a high-up member of that club.

Graves says he's not aware of the Bandidos having a problem with Cossacks, but "evidently they have an issue."

"They (Cossacks) want to be outlaws," he told CNN's Kyung Lah.

The U.S. Justice Department characterizes the Bandidos as a "growing criminal threat" with at least 2,000 members in 14 countries. It says the gang is involved in the production, transportation and distribution of drugs.

The Justice Department had no such synopsis for the Cossacks, but the book "The One Percenter Encyclopedia: The World of Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs from Abyss Ghosts to Zombies Elite" says they were founded in Texas in 1969 and have a major presence in Australia.

{The roots of mad Max Gibson?}

Graves took serious issue with the Bandidos being characterized as a gang. The motorcycle club's website highlights noncriminal endeavors such as its Easter party in Germany or its toy drive in France.

"We are not a gang. We do not do gang things. We are not affiliated with gangs," Graves said. "We didn't do nothing here. We're fighting for our rights. They're saying lies on TV, and telling everybody that Bandidos are after police officers. That's never been."
Also note most of the dead and wounded are from police firing in retaliation.

Autopsies and forensics still underway.
But police spokesman on NPR said so.

The Bandidos claim Tex'ass, but the Cossacks want a piece of it, too. Sunday's deadly shootout may have made things worse.

And u thought "Remember the Al-Ammo!" meant that the war for Texas was over.

Note the difference in 'law enforcement' standards:

Unarmed black man reaches for driver's license into his pocket at a 'traffic stop' faced with two armed policemen: beaten up, thrown to the ground, choked to death, or simply shot 36 times if he tries to run away.

Gangs of 300 sh1ts with drugs, driving drunk, carrying automatic weapons, terrorizing a whole city - and fewer than 3 percent have been pest-e-sha'eeded.

This whole mashup, for a second, imagine if these bikers were all African-americans.... Instead of the "peaceful wait at the lawns" scene for getting booked, we would have been posting photos of hazmat suits hosing down the blood-stains under the watchful yes of National Guard units. Hordes of retired law-enforcement experts pontificating about "when you draw a gun in the presence of a cop, you are supposed to die" and pointing out how correctly the Texas police reacted with 20,000 rounds of high-velocity rounds

any ways.... illuminating, how well-behaved these cops were, when in the presence of these bikers (who we are told, are mostly veterans who might know how to discharge a weapon, unlike a hobo with palsy), when compared to their demeanour among civil rights protesters or those students of UC Davis who got pepper sprayed.

Who cares about what your backward village society does, as long as your lack of modernity dont start affecting the behaviour of the highly evolved NYC society?

Charity and Bravery, Texan Style

So if u want American $$ for ur town, just let them come in and give 1 or 2 Canadian visas to your children... its all in the name of charity onlee. To be precise:

I believe in the survival of the species

And what better way than through Canadian Visas?

He wears sandals even when he hunts the wildest of animals.

AWESOME or what?

Then four shots explode through the air.
The rhino has been hit at least three times.

Could have been police in Ferguson MO.

Probably most of the dead in Waco were shot down by the police. But because most of the bad guys were white criminals (and some Hispanic) and this being the great state of Texas, nobody will say a word about it. Even though no cops were hurt and neither were any civilians.

Looters in Baltimore got a pass. This would not have happened in Texas. difference in community law enforcement standards.

If it was a clash between black biker gangs then this would have happened.
