What’s the Matter with Helen?

Bethany Stotts, June 9, 2010

As has been chronicled by AIA, one of the indicators of potential indoctrination is when parents are shielded from educators’ curriculum or the “teaching moments” to which their children will be exposed.

Consider, for example, Deerfield High School, which once required students attending an assembly on homosexuality to sign a confidentiality agreement that they would not discuss the details of the event with non-attendees.

And, according to Accuracy in Media’s Cliff Kincaid, in Tucson, Arizona, school leaders would not allow students to take home textbooks from their Mexican-American studies class—or allow adults to see the books themselves.

After an open records request was granted, the public found out that required books included Occupied America, Pedagogy of the Oppressed and Prison Notebooks, which included an image of Fidel Castro and references to revolution, reported Kincaid.

Consider then, the recent events regarding Helen Thomas, veteran journalist.

Thomas was originally invited as a Whitman High School graduation speaker on June 14, but after her candid camera comments telling Israelis “get the h-ll out of Palestine” and go back to the European countries where they came from, the school decided to cancel her graduation appearance.

One has to consider, however, the wording of the statement made by Alan S. Goodwin, Principal of the Bethesda-based school....

obama has fostered an atmosphere among Washington insiders where it is OK to hate the Jews, as long as you do it semi-deftly.
Helen just got a little excited and went over the line in her honesty...

GICs (Government Indoctrination Centers) make me sick. Especially ones that forbid students from showing parents what the ***k they’re “studying” in there!!!

Helen Thomas’ sin is that she exposed the truth.

Her views about Israel were obvious to anyone who paid attention. I remember going back as far and Reagan press conferences. When Thomas asked a “question” it was always tinged with anti Israeli propaganda in the form of a question.

The press and media and some of officialdom pretend that being anti Israel is political and not pure and raw, at its very core, anti Semitism.

Thomas proved that a lie. She slipped and allowed it to show that the motivation for being anti Israel is hating Jews.

as reasonable adults today we should all be aware that cell phones are every where. this is doubly true for public figures, this includes media big wigs. Helen Thomas was dumb to mouth off to the Jew t was predictable the this would be taped and played. like it or not she is a public figure.

She expected her co-ideologists in the White House to protect her rather than tossing her under the bus?
