"What is Government?" Elementary Students Taught It's Your "Family"

Fourth-grade students in Illinois are learning that “government is like a nation’s family” because it sets rules and takes care of needs such as health care and education...

It's my family? OK,I can see that...up to a point.When I was a kid my parents used to punish me for refusing to eat my Brussels Sprouts,but they stopped when I became an adult.Yet here I am,more than old enough to have had a draft card,and my "daddy" (hell,I don't look *anything* like No Limits Nigga) wants to punish me for not having a health insurance plan of which *he* approves.

Where do I apply for a divorce?

Sure sounds like an agenda to me. You have to wonder though is the government apparatchik who claimed there is no agenda simply too stupid to know there is one or lying? I’d have to give either choice a 50/50 chance of being true

[ronniesgal]

didn’t chris Rock say the same thing? The President is the dad of the country, and you listen to what he says.

[MtBaldy]

Funny thing is I don’t remember him saying that about George Bush.

[Standing Wolf]

I haven't forgotten how many attendees of the most recent Democratic [sic] party convention were proud to announce, "We're all part of government."

The well fed serfs have spoken.

[ronniesgal]

me neither!
Rules have changed

[mikrofon]

Government as your “family,” and part of the Global “village” ...

I have always said its the very long term agenda that was developed after world war 2 to prevent the white Christian male from engaging in another holocaust.
when these kids grow up, individual freedom will not even be a concept they understand.

I think however, there will be schools for the elite of the elites, that will educate them so they will be able to rule the masses.

[SusaninOhio]

Read Agenda 21. I couldn’t put it down. Now I am thoroughly depressed.

Hey Nully, y'all might want a look-see at this one.

Be right back, gotta find my AFDB...

“The President is the dad of the country, and you listen to what he says.”

Well, we have ‘baby daddy’

combined with ‘halfrican’ ...

The issue is confused beyond the standard cultural interpretation.

[MeshugeMikey]

Gee I was so incensed by these progressive loons propagandizing our children and grandchildren I almost clicked on “Report Abuse.....”

Illinois huh? barrys stomping.....grounds

[andyk]

I think Washington said it best, frankly. It’s not family. It is force - a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

Another Reason to homeschool.

( seems to be a lot reasons lately,)

Another Reason to homeschool.

Little Timmy cried when we tried to put him with normal children.
They picked on him, called him names. He couldn't cut it.

Why is that exactly? Is there a problem?

[metmom]

My kids were reading 5 years above grade level in kindergarten and working math three years above grade level.

No way I was going to stick them in with kids who could hardly count.

My kids didn’t want to be with normal kids either. It would have held them back too much.

[humblegunner]

Yeah.
And you aren’t making demands about “Don’t Post To me!” either.
