A selection of quotes which should give you a flavour of the article:

"The elimination of the International Baccalaureate program in Upper
St. Clair is the latest in a series of similar attacks against the
program alleging that its curriculum is contrary to American values."

  "Some Upper St. Clair school board members contended the program
goes against traditional Judeo-Christian values, could be considered
anti-American and is associated with groups that support Marxism."

  "Ms. Quist said EdWatch opposes the program on ideological grounds
because it teaches "a sense of global citizenship which is contrary to
what it is to be an American citizen." (I'm thinking of getting a
t-shirt made up with this on)

"some people claimed IB was an international conspiracy."

I work for the IBO and if there is a Marxist conspiracy here then I'm
well out of the loop :)

(Come to think of it that room full of red flags is a bit suspicious though... )

:P
