Creepy Indoctrination (Required Reading)

The creepy indocrination of children in the art of Obama-worship continues:

My 8th grade son is in an advanced English class at a public middle school here in Racine, Wisconsin. I just found out that my son's new (copyright 2008) Wisconsin - McDougal Littell Literature book has 15 pages covering Barack Obama.

I was shocked - No John McCain, no Hillary Clinton, no George Bush - Just Barack Obama. I'm wondering how it is that Obama's story gets put into an 8th grade literature book? It would be one thing, if it was just the tidbit about his boyhood days, but 15 pages, and they talk about his "Life of Service". Honestly, what has Obama really done to be included in this book?

According to the McDougal website, the literature book's section on Obama discusses a chapter from Dreams From My Father and — wait for it — Obama's keynote address to the 2004 Democratic convention. Seems a little soon to be adding that one to the canon, right?

I would like to find out who edited the book to include this...part of Obama Nation...Annenburg by chance?

It is all fiting together like a Marxist/Socialist playbook

[Kimmers]

Wow.... you must be seeing red....or at least the school system is.....

That would send me over the edge.....

[twhitak]

Does it include his wonderful poetry?

[chippewaman]

Yes, very creepy. Didn’t Saddam Hussein have pages devoted to him in the schoolbooks of Iraqi students? From one Hussein to the next, it’s all the same.

Yeah, keep letting them edit out Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and keep thinking you’re being “open minded” while leftists censor and change our history. We are all so stupid.

I would demand an explanation from the of why and who made this textbook purchase

I would also be sure to use this to teach my kid about reality

The publisher is now Holt McDougal, a subsidiary of Houghton Mifflin:

I was forced to read things like Native Son, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, A Walk to the Jetty and other crap in AP English back in 1995. We surprisingly read very few caucasian authors.

We’re undergong a Communist revolution.

Flood McCain out with emails.
Flood the MSM out with emails. Send articles/videos and demand they put these before the voting public.

Please go to http://www.protestthemedia.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=7
and pick up all the email addresses to the McCain camp and HUNDREDS of emails of MSM.

CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS?

LOL my brother used to carry that around when he was in HS. The libtard bible.

[texas_mrs]

That's just creepy. They would prolly say because he broke the 'glass ceiling' for blacks, so merited inclusion into the book.

Bet there won't be a damned thing about Palin when it goes into print again, though.

Feeling lucky my kid is 16 and an avowed conservative. She knows BS when she comes across it.

[wolfcreek]

This is getting a little too weird. (and scary)

Someone needs to check Barry's scalp for those 6s.

[visualops]

Now they just have kids watch movies.

[Centurion2000]

Do you know where we can order a book with this content? This is just too damn creepy for words.

I know .. Godwin's Law and all that but are we looking at the rise of another Hitler?
