An American Hero in a Very Small Package

Anyone who reads articles outside the Mainstream Media is well aware of the lack of diversity of thought on college campuses today. Students with opinions outside the conventional left-wing mantra inevitably face brutal retaliation, often accompanied by administrative reprimands. David Horowitz, Ann Coulter, and outstanding organizations such as FIRE (www.thefire.org) have for years been at the forefront of the fight against this intolerance. But liberal indoctrination doesn’t start at college, and very few people dare to confront the dogmatism at younger ages. Sam Besserman, who is twelve, is a noteworthy exception.

We can produce the best and the brightest.

How is it we allowed a system to come into existence to squash them?

The family is considering home schooling (are there still legal issues in California with home schooling?). If Sam stays in public school, his future may involve medication. Another way around this, and I think he is intelligent enough to pull it off, is to just parrot the approved lines. Once he graduates, tells the “teachers” to sod off.

Is this business going to be allowed to stand for another generation? We and our representatives have slept through this long enough and it needs to go to the top of the campaign agenda, or we raise more little marxists and wonder why nothing changes.

It is up to us. Parents need to pay close attention to what lessons their children are being indoctrinated into.

The A-LIST are the Vietnamese, who out perform Anglos in America in every catagory, because of their family culture who prioritizes nothing before education success.

Parents are shut out of their children’s 35 hour week in public school. There is no way parents can shield anyone from anything because this is systemic, union driven and a curriculum straight out of the academics of Marx, along with colleges, university and academia. Certainly there are neighborhoods and regions where it is worse but by and large we have given them our kids and now it shows, at the ballot box where they now vote.

Schools are like Congrss, everyone thinks they are failures, except the one their kid goes to, and their Congressman is doing a good job.

How any Congressman is returned to office when the overall approval rate for Congress is less than twenty percent, is a mystery.
