The Los Angeles Unified School District will use a state grant to train teens to promote ObamaCare to family members. Covered California, the state's health insurance exchange, announced grants of $37 million on May 14 to promote the nationally unpopular law. LAUSD will receive $990,000. The district listed as a primary outcome for its project, “Teens trained to be messengers to family members.”
Covered California spokeswoman Sarah Soto-Taylor said staff have not questioned this goal.
“We have confidence that the model LA Unified brought to the table will be successful in reaching our target population, which includes family members of students,” she said.
LAUSD will also use tax-paid staff to promote ObamaCare through phone calls to students’ homes, in-class presentations, and meetings with employees eligible for ObamaCare’s taxpayer-covered healthcare, the grant award says.
One in three Los Angeles students never graduates high school.
Unpaid Propagandizers The district listed adult education students, part-time, and contract employees as its target population. Teens will be trained to be messengers not to those groups, but to their own families, to get more people enrolled in taxpayer-subsidized healthcare. If the project is successful, Los Angeles families can expect more use of students to push government-preferred messaging.
“Teens are part of a ‘pilot’ program to test whether young people can be trained as messengers to deliver outreach and limited education to family and friends in and around their homes,” said Gayle Pollard-Terry, a LAUSD spokesman, in an email. “Teens will be educating adults that they already know (e.g., family or friends) and not other adults.”
‘Paid in the Rear’ Grant recipients like LAUSD will be held accountable by the state for fulfilling their promised activities for outreach, said Larry Hicks, another LAUSD spokesman. “At a minimum, grantees will be required to submit to Covered California monthly, quarterly, and annual reports on their activities and progress towards agreed upon outcomes. If project benchmarks are not met, grantees may be required to submit additional ad hoc reports upon Covered California’s request. Grantees will also be required to report any proposed adjustments to their approved outreach and education plan using the information management system… Additionally, field monitors will be assigned to grantees to verify their progress,” Hicks said.
Pollard-Terry said the district is familiar with running grants like this one and federal ones of similar size: “This grant is ‘paid in the rear,’ so the funding will come based on performance. The district front-funds positions and we have the ability to start using existing staff for the most part.”

This is bullshit!
Why not, it’s the kids (and Grandkids) who’ll be paying for it the rest of their lives...provided the “death panels” don’t get them
The communists using young skulls full of mush as useful idiots. Nice.

tax-paid? It just doesn’t matter anymore what the hell this damn government does with our tax money. This is incredible!
So I have to ask... is “Soto-Taylor” a sister of Sotomeyer ?Nothig would surprise me these days.
Will the kids be issued free “brown-shirts”?
History always repeats.
The goal is to get lots of “takers” into the system as quickly as possible. The more on the dole, the harder it will be to repeal.
Clear abuse of the trust given for Government Schools. Time to shut them down. They have become political indoctrination centers and present a real danger to the Nation. I really do not see how those people sleep at night.
It just dawned on me how appropriate it is that they choose Halloween...
Page 34 shows the $1,000,000 grant to SEIU. Under Target Group it lists African American as one of the languages spoken.
This is the first use of African American as a language that I have seen.
Are they going to get brown shirts with their free iPads?
Using students for political purposes... UNACCEPTABLE.
“The more on the dole, the harder it will be to repeal.”
Exactly.
When is it time? Before all our future generations are stolen? When is it time?! This Canadian is tired of waiting! Where are the real Americans!?
Every day I wake up thinking I couldn’t feel more like 1930’s Germany. Every day I am surprised.
Sure. And the *immigration* bill will make sure they have an 0bammyCar to drive, as well.
hmmm- thoguht there were laws against child labor
