Mexican government supply American schools with curriculum.

Edumacation: Feel the diversity baby! Now we have the Mexican government with help from liberal school system in America taking control of our the public school system lessons.

Oregon is counting on a new tool to educate Spanish-speaking students across state schools: Mexico's curriculum.

Already in place at three Oregon high schools, the programs aims to use textbooks, a detailed online Web site, DVDs and CDs provided for free by the Mexican government to teach math, science and even U.S. history to Spanish speakers in Oregon.

Conversations are under way between the Oregon Department of Education and Mexico's secretary of public education to align the curriculums of Oregon and Mexico so many courses in Mexico will be valid here and vice versa. The innovative move puts Oregon on par with other educators nationwide who have launched similar ventures in Yakima; San Diego, Calif.; and Austin, Texas.

....Mexico has made its national curriculum available to communities across the U.S. since 2001. The idea was to encourage Mexican adults and youths living abroad to continue an education often abandoned back home due to limited resources.

The Mexican government provided the learning material and, as incentive, validated the education by certifying its completion in Mexico.

"We wanted people to be aware that they have to study," said Patricia Ramos, the director of national affairs for Mexico's Institute for Adult Education and National Advisory of Education for Life and Work. "You have to dare to study and make use of technology because that way, it will be easier to adapt to where you now live."


Here I thought if people are coming to America and join the schools, America would be the one who gave out and shaped the lesson plan. Now American school system and the taxpayers who fund it now support the Mexican educational system in a warped version of distance learning. This country is going to hell in a handbasket.
