IB's primary purpose is to promote globalism and turn our children into global citizens. TAIB'S primary purpose is to celebrate what it means to be American and to preserve freedom for our children and grandchildren.

JULY POLL RESULTS

After being inundated by hits from the very Liberal NYT and WAPO readers, our July Poll had 663 respondents. An astonishing 86% of them believe the IB talking point "IB teaches students HOW to know, not WHAT to know" to be brilliant. Only 12% of the respondents were astute enough to identify the rhetoric as Orwellian and 3% didn't have a clue.

JUNE POLL RESULTS

By an almost 2-1 margin of 104 respondents, 65% believed that American public schools should NOT be able to implement IB without a public vote, 33% said no vote was necessary and 2% didn't know.

MAY POLL RESULTS


The May poll results may be slightly skewed as there was an influx of IB students to the site who tried to rig the poll in favor of IB. Out of 236 respondants, 29% believe IB is indoctrination, 29% believe IB is a world class education, 17% believe IB is "rigorous", 14% believe IB is expensive and 11% believe IB is for Gifted and Talented students.

APRIL POLL RESULTS


The correct answer was: Steve Forbes
Goldman Sachs, the Shah of Iran, UNESCO, Bill Gates and Joe Kennedy have all contributed to IBO.

Thank you for participating!

It is difficult to track when districts eliminate IB. Some districts are still in the discussion phase, some made application but never followed through. But for the purposes of this section, TAIB will try and keep pace with the number of drops which receive local press.  Since March, 2009, IBO has lost 10 IBDP schools, 5 MYP and 5 PYP or a total of 20 fewer IB schools in the U.S.A. If anyone is aware of districts not listed during this period, please e-mailTAIB with the stats. Thanks!
