In a recent article that I wrote for AT, I stated that while I feared it imminent, the Obama administration had not yet turned its attention to controlling the public education system. Little did I know that my fear would come to fruition so quickly.
Perhaps because he has had enough of adult Americans questioning his policies and his lies, or perhaps he would like to take some attention away from his falling approval ratings and failing healthcare overhaul, Obama has turned his team of brainwashers on the task of indoctrinating America’s youth. On September 8th, Obama will address students across America. Some of the suggested teaching guidelines include:
Students might think about: What specific job is he asking me to do? Is he asking anything of anyone else? Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?
-- Teachers could ask students to share the ideas they recorded, exchange sticky notes or stick notes on a butcher paper poster in the classroom to discuss main ideas from the speech, i.e. citizenship, personal responsibility, civic duty.
-- Students could discuss their responses to the following questions: What do you think the President wants us to do? Does the speech make you want to do anything? Are we able to do what President Obama is asking of us? What would you like to tell the President?
-- Write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president. These would be collected and redistributed at an appropriate later date by the teacher to make students accountable to their goals.
Well, I know what I “would like to tell the President” and it does not include praising him for his past 8 months of “serving” the country. I also have no intention of having my children write a letter to themselves or anyone else “about what they can do to help the president.” It seems to me that the president has enough help devastating the country with community service from the likes of ACORN, George Soros’ cabal of organizations, and brainwashed liberals who still adore him. My children are off limits.
All of this is straight out of “Uncle Adolf’s” playbook.
See tagline.
I can help the President by helping him choose between the red or blue pill.
I know what I’d like to tell the phoney president.
Two words.
Cool!
With all due respect this has been going on for quite some time. This is why creeps like Obama and Carter get elected.
Nope, no brainwashing going on here. Move along. Nothing to see.....
Ditto what you said. Schools and colleges have been nothing but indoctrination camps for years and is the reason we are in such a mess.
Honestly, it started in earnest with the first president Bush. They experimented with procedures during the Clinton administration, and now I’d say they are very finely honed for indoctrination of the student AND parent with the Obama administration. The second president Bush presided over a shameful indoctrination of students using a technique called ‘breaking down walls’, over 9/11. You should see if your schools have saved any materials from the first anniversary of the attack.
Indeed.
Kids don’t pay taxes, adults do.
Politicians should not be speaking about things like this to children.
You should ask why avowed communists like Angela Davis are allowed to become tenured professors and collect paychecks and retirement from so called ‘free’ taxpayers.
FYI
Nor should they teach them how to roll a condom on a cucumber. Just a thought.
Why are students being asked what they can do to help the president? Is anything NOT about him?
If I still had kids in school, they might be late or absent that day. The idea of writing goals suggested by this president and this White House that a teacher might monitor is absolutely chilling.
I understand parents are livid over this. They should keep their kids home that day and pull them from public schools.
We have one week to get the word out on this, let’s roll!
Cause and effect.
If I had children, I would at least be calling my school to see what will be occurring about this on that day and, if necessary, keep them home.
