MADISON — Some kindergartners, first-graders and second-graders in Madison public schools are apparently preparing for futures in either political cartooning or time on a psychiatrist’s couch.

Kati Walsh, an elementary art teacher at the Madison Metropolitan School District in July posted some of her students’ drawings of Gov. Scott Walker in jail. Walsh suggests her young Rembrandts’ ideas for their sketches popped up out of thin air.

“One student said something to the effect of ‘Scott Walker wants to close all the public schools’… So the rest of the class started drawing their own cartoons and they turned very political. They have very strong feelings about Scott Walker,” the teacher wrote on her blog.

Wow, look at all those poor malnourished folks. It looks like they can barely afford to feed themselves! </sarcasm>

They push their biases and politics on the kids, other peoples kids!

Why is this allowed?

Because every day for many decades now, parents across America wake up their children and pack them off to these indoctrination camps. Each generation is more lost than the previous.

I remember a year or two ago when teachers were protesting something in Austin.... predictably school assignments on the protest were passed down to all the kids.

I am not kidding.

I wonder how the teacher would react if the little tykes drew photos of Obama in a prison suit.

Madison’s answer to the Hitler Youth.

In the mid-90’s, some flaming liberal city council member in Minneapolis tried to get the voting age reduced to 12 or 14 (I don’t remember specifically). The liberal indoctrination factor—of impressionable (not discerning) children, no less— was exactly my immediate impression as to why this was a horrible idea.

I apologize for re-posting this. I had forgotten that you posted it yesterday. I think it is absolutely outrageous, but expected out of Madison.
