Quote of the Day by NutCrackerBoy

[The_Eaglet]

I still remember my government class at a public (government) high school. The teacher presented socialism as an acceptable compromise between capitalism and communism, and once a week we spent half an hour in class reading Newsweek magazine, which was presented as an example of a valid source for balanced information on current events.

In retrospect, I am not surprised that he didn't say anything about The New American or The American Spectator.

"teach dependency on government"

Precisely what the government schools are all about.

My first " taste " of government intervention was in 1958. I was in sixth grade and the school started the UNICEF program to take our Halloween loot. If you didn't participate you couldn't attend the party . My buddies and I solved the problem by carefully opening the containers and did a 5-1 distribution in our favor and sealing them again.

No ... it's a classroom exercise – an exercise quite possibly unfolding in a classroom in some government school near you. The official title is "Activity 2 Economic Justice: The Scramble for Wealth and Power." It was created by professor David Shiman at the Center for World Education at the University of Vermont, and is distributed to our government school teachers by the Human Rights Resource Center at the University of Minnesota.

What the lesson SHOULD be, is that the kids with mittens need to learn how to take them off, and the kids without shovels need to learn how to improvise one.

Communists suck, and they have our kids.

If anyone doubts the Marxist agenda of this so-called "professor", click here...

Ping!

Part of me isn't bothered by this. "Education" like this is yet one more reason why other people's kids (who are influenced by stuff like this) will end up working for my kids (who will laugh it off).

Makes me ill. Thank God my 11 and 7 yr old sons are in private Christian school. New Rats in the making. School should teach children HOW to think. not what to think. These socialist SOB's need a good can of WhoopA%% opened on them/
