And keep your kids far far far away from these morons.

I had my jaw hanging down at some of the pictures. Like the gaggle of school pyschologists. What the heck does a school need with a pyschologist?

If conservatives would quit lying to themselves about their schools and “teachers” being “different” ...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

No government teacher is “different”! **ALL** ( that means **every**) government school teacher WILLINGLY goes to work every day and agrees to support and uphold a godless, compulsory, socialist-scheme, and collectivist voter mob controlled system.

Simply by attending children WILL learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate with the classroom instruction and turn in assignments. They will learn to be comfortable with the government taking money from their neighbor ( under the threat of armed police action) to pay for a service their parents want for tuition free. Well?...If government can take money from a neighbor for schooling why not a thousand other socialist wants and needs? Finally, when children attend collectivist voter mob controlled and compulsory schools, they learn to be comfortable with voter mob compulsion!

ALL ( Yes! EVERY) government school teacher **agrees** to support this evil when they willingly accept a paycheck. Last time I checked no one was holding a gun to their heads.

To all conservatives:

NO! NO! NO! Your child's school is NOT NOT NOT different!! And...Mrs. Smiley the government teacher on your block, who loves her cat, is willingly supporting and establishing EVIL!!!

RE “It’s our taxpayers money, so why can’t we use it?” ....hat lady for real?????????

Pretty funny, that was on the protest sign.

As crazy as that sounds there is similarity between those ideas and the idea that entitlements are our money because we paid in’ as with the imaginary entitlement surplus trust funds that don't exist.

To the protestor : Think of 'taxing' as 'taking' and 'spending' as 'giving' and it starts to make sense. Say you turn 18 and your parents demand you pay room and board, but then they pay your younger brother an allowance as he lives for free. Can your young brother claim his allowance cant be cut because it is 'his money' ???

They pull MY kid out of school on one of these communist unauthorized field trips and my lawyers would tear them to shreds. I wonder how many parents even knew that their own kids were being used as human shields for these worthless thugs?

This makes me want to punch a teacher.

Thank you for the ping, MM.

Thank you for the great thread, Kaslin.

Open Communism on display! I didn’t see 0b0z0’s picture next to Malcolm X’s. I wonder why, maybe it’s too close for comfort!

0b0z0 empowered the Communists who barely hide behind the title “Socialists”; however, I haven’t seen the old words as in Democrat, Liberal or Progressive.

They must have come out of the closet, officially, under 0b0z0’s regime.

Thanks for ping.

"Part 3 of that essay was called “Indoctrination Nation” and discussed the extent to which public schools have ceased to be places for educating America’s youth but have instead become indoctrination centers where our children’s brains are marinated in political correctness and leftist thought patterns."

LITERALLY! -- didactic vs dialectic

I suppose your vitriol precludes the possibility that there are CONSERVATIVES who teach within said system?

Interesting to know that I am a liberal now. Gee, I didn't realize I became a teacher to indoctrinate students into the "New World Order!" Thanks for clearing that up for me!

Just in case the sarcasm failed to have the intended effect, the claim that ALL teachers work to uphold the status quo is misleading at best and ignorant at worst. The idea that those of us Conservatives who work WITHIN the system to effect at least a MODICUM of change are somehow equivalent to the mind-numbed O-Bots who THRIVE on the indoctrination is dishonest and completely unfounded.

For the record, teachers are NOT the primary source of failure for the education system (although the specimens mentioned in this article do not bring honor to the profession by a longshot). Legislators who have no CONCEPT of what it is they are legislating is the crux of the problem. Teachers get the sh*t end of the stick when it comes to dispensing blame because we are the most VISIBLE. There exist many "bureaucratic entanglements" behind the scenes which foul up the works and exponentially increase the difficulty of the job teachers are hired to perform.

• As at other union rallies documented in earlier essays, socialist and communist groups mingled freely on May 13 with the teachers’ unions, their messages blending into a unified ethos.

• And the clincher: At both rallies, teachers brought entire classes of their students (this was held on a Friday, a school day, remember) to join in this overtly leftist behavior.

Our schools are indoctrination centers for radical liberal elites... and they're standing with radical muslims. How long until schools are also anti-semite indoctrination centers? My guess is, not long...

These are nothing but a bunch of FAT COMMUNISTS which we saw operating in Europe about 40 years ago and now transplanted to the U.S. by the help of the criminal usurper in the whitie-hut!

I don’t recognize the U.S that I immigrated to in 1983!!

What a shame our educational system is totally corrupted!!!

The following applies to all government schools **generally** and nothing that follows is directed at any individual:

Government schools are by law and definition godless, socialist-funded, collectivist managed by the voting mob, and attendance is compulsory for all children whose parents can not ransom them by way of private or home schooling. If these schools were not socialist, not compulsory, God-centered, not collectivist run and managed by the voting mob then they would be ( by definition) PRIVATE.

Therefore...Fundamentally, the very qualities of government schools that are the most harmful to children simply can **never** be changed because to change them would be, by definition, **private** schooling!

Simply by attending government schools, children learn to be comfortable with taking money from their neighbor for a service their parents want for free. They learn to subject themselves to government compulsion and prison-like buildings and control. They **will** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must merely to cooperate with the classroom instruction. The government will force them to bend their will to the voting mob collective.

The above happens because of the fundamental structure and essence of government schooling. While very caring and thoughtful conservatives may attempt to bring some conservatism into the government school environment, it is like giving water wings to a child who is being swept up in a godless socialist and collectivist tsunami.

As for Christians attempting to sneak a little bit of Christian philosophy into the classroom that is godless by law, the long term consequences may be very harmful. We know what Christ does with lukewarm Christianity. He spits it out of His mouth. And....These teachers are also teaching the children that Christians are sneaky.

I suggest that conservatives ( Christian and non-Christian) work mightily to shut down government schools, and work to see that each child in the United States has access to a private and conservative education.

add that “Zombie” is one of the blogs I value most.

yup, I finally figured that out too. not only an employer
but a major account for various vendors. not sure there’s
an easy answer for that situation. Oh, Martin McPhillips
New Paltz Journal blogs relates how the teachers contracts
were raising assessments and forcing lower income residents
out of the area. Just fine with the teachers.

It’s long been licit for kids in NYC “alternative schools”
to get credit for demonstration attendance. You might also
consider that unpaid “volunteer work” is also a dream of
the government school establishment.

Whomever “Zombie” is they should GROW UP and WAKE UP and quit beind such a braindead douche.

THINK FOR YOURSELF IDIOT!!

I don’t trust people that have “awakenings” and “their eyes opened”.

That crap is for children, not adults. If you didn’t figure it out before do us all a favor and post-abort yourself jerk.
