Pro-Democrat material sent home with third graders

Presidential debate number three is in the books, and most polls show the race a dead heat. Thursday, the Missoula School District studied how documents promoting the democratic ticket ended up going home to parents of third-graders at Hawthorne Elementary....

School officials are already apologizing for what they call an honest mistake. Hawthorne Principal Steve McHugh: "It's a whoops, it's a mistake. We're sorry -- Missoula, we're sorry."

This was not meant for parent's eyes. But, pro-Democrat literature accidentally went home with third-grade students from Hawthorne Elementary.

McHugh: "It was definitely a mistake. Certainly we're sorry that it happened, we're certainly not trying as a school district or Hawthorne school to tell people who to vote for."

The paperwork is from the Missoula Unified Political Action Committee for Education. It supports state and national democratic candidates for office. Officials say the information was intended for teachers, not students....

A simple mistake? I doubt it!

Same excuses the dems will make when they are caught conducting massive voter fraud...

How much you bet that those 3rd Graders are registered Democrats?

[F.J. Mitchell]

Probably was a mistake that the proaggressive literature went home for the parents to see. The school was merely in the proccess of indoctrinating third graders to be tomorrows demodummies.

A mistake my you-know-what.

[Rodney King]

I'm sure it was a mistake that it went home with the kids. Obviously, however, they were using school time and machinery for their internal political campaigning.

It's not ok to have this in the schools period but they don't seem to see that.

[madameguinot]

About half of them are? The other half will be holding them on their shoulders under those long coats at the polls... :)

[OLDCU]

What if a teacher wanted the parents to see the information?

[AWestCoaster]

Not OK to have religion in school, but OK to push politics.

Imagine the outrage and demand for heads to roll if this was Republican material.

[little jeremiah]

The leftist teachers and administration didn't want the parents to see what leftist ThugDemocrats they are. Probably at least 90% are registered ThugDs.

One more reason to RIP your kids out of school tomorrow. Homeschool or a good private school unless you want to risk your children becoming changelings.

Let's do the math. I'll be generous. 25 third graders per class and maybe 5 classes of them: 125 students. Did all 125 get this propaganda?

Now how many teachers are in this school? 5x6 grades = 30. Double that ... and add more for staff and volunteers. Maybe 75 people? So if this stuff was intended for non-students, then does the math support that theory?

Sounds like someone may have been using school supplies.

I see. How many copies did they send out?? Can anyone find out??

[wizardoz]

Mm-hmm. I'm teaching English in a Los Angeles middle school (yes, a public school. Yes, it's the seventh level of Hell.) The ESL curriculum I am forced (yes, forced) to teach is pretty much left wing dogma thinly disguised as a language program. Oh, the examples I could give you. Environmentalism. Dismissive, fraudulant treatment of the 2nd amendment. Heavy-handed, anti-capitalist rants and specious multiculturalism... oh, and did I mention the UN project that I (oops) forgot to lead them through?

Bite me, LAUSD, I know what you're up to and will undercut you with heavy scissors at every opportunity. Accident. Huh.

[GoLightly]

I agree!! The school board would be hearing from me, because the administrator of the school seems to be covering for the thief.

[EDINVA]

in MT would it make a difference ?

[alancarp]

More power to ya.

"The paperwork is from the Missoula Unified Political Action Committee for Education. It supports state and national democratic candidates for office. Officials say the information was intended for teachers, not students. "

This crap is permitted to be given to teachers at their work place?

Indoctrination must start with the youngest and most maleable.
