Sure enough. His grandson’s “World History” teacher, Jim Duarte, fed a steady dose of radical left wing propaganda to his students, disguised as classroom assignments.

................

Healy’s written reply also contained a thinly-veiled warning for Benson:

“…the district respectfully requests that you refrain from any publication of this document or any portion thereof. We trust you will appreciate this serious concern and avoid any potential legal ramifications that could result.”

When a parent receives a letter from anyone they have the right to do with it as they see fit. Public school officials who try to silence students’ and parents’ first amendment rights usually wind up with their e-mail crashing and reporters at the school house door.

Arrogant jerks.

In today’s world, being a radical means being a conservative. Teach your kids to “speak truth to power”.

It is time to give the school and that teacher a lesson in civics.

One of the supplemental text books in my kid’s public high school in California was A Peoples History of the United States by Howard Zinn. They are going to get this crap in college anyhow so I suppose that at least in high school they could come home with questions and I could set them straight.

I guess the days when a social studies teacher complains about “creeping socialism” are long gone. That was my social studies teacher, Mr. Sammartano, back in the sixties. Of course, I attended a Catholic high school, but I’ll bet you could have found plenty of public school teachers with similar sentiments back then.

“..But the more we do, the more we can root out the indoctrination being perpetrated in our government schools. “ ( last line of the essay)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The author is a fool if he believe that a socialist entitlement ( our nation's socialist K-12 schools) can be reformed. Socialism can **not** be reformed it must be eliminated.

And...Simply by attending socialist schools children risk learning to be comfortable with government force taking money from a neighbor for tuition-free socialist schools! Why wouldn't they be comfortable using government force for other socialist goodies? Children who attend godless schools must think godlessly just to cooperate in the classroom. How could it be otherwise?

Personally...I fear for this nation. I doubt that our experiment in self government can survive another generation of future voters being indoctrinated in our nation's godless and socialist schools. Government socialist schools are our nation's **most** serious threat. Really! I mean it.

Why is it that so few conservatives see the urgency? Why do so many continue to send their children into these pits of ignorance? Why do they believe that their child's godless and socialist schools would somehow not be socialist and godless? Why aren't conservative working furiously to close our nation's socialist schools down?

Conservatives please!

** remove your children today!
** urge others to do the same!
** Work to shut the socialist schools down permanently!
** Work to see that all of our nation's children have access to non-Prussian-style private schools that support Judeo Christian values and uphold our nation's founding principles.

“Conservatives” like Chris Christie are trying to “improve” them, not shut them down.

Of course, he sends his kids to Catholic schools.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

“Setting kids straight” takes far more work than simply doing it right the first time. “Setting kids straight” requires reading all textbooks, going over all exams, reviewing the lectures of every class, reading all socialist school publications, attending all assemblies, and reviewing all class assignments. If it isn't taking more than than doing it right the first time, you likely are **not** “setting them straight”.

Please, for your child, get him out of this socialist and godless pit of indoctrination. Honestly, no schooling is better than this. ( Really!) And...**Anything** you and your child would do on your own would be of higher quality and more useful for a successful life.

Second, have you considered not sending him to college. If you must, have him live at home. It might help some.

My step-grandson’s community college history teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, told him that no army general was killed on either side during the Civil War. I don’t know if she had a political agenda or if she was just another academic ignoramus.
I had to show him how wrong this was using the internet.
