School Choice and the Children of Obama

I went to University of Detroit’s Jesuit High School in Northwest Detroit.

Out of all my educational experiences, those formative four years were the best and the most enduring. Matched up against four years of the Ivy League at Dartmouth College and a year abroad in England on a Fulbright Scholarship, the Catholic experience was the deepest, the longest lasting and, in my opinion, the greatest contributor to a long – 70 years so far – and wonderfully rewarding life.

Here is an undeniably clear revelation of the growing divide between traditional America as seen in this Catholic Preparatory School, and the Obama Nation’s radically Leftist virulence poring out of union bullies and SEIU troublemaking.

Not only will the Progressive values of an Obama Nation leave our children and grandchildren holding a massive debt, those generations of Americans, increasingly influenced by The Obama Nation Value System, will be crippled and live a life of total dependence upon government and unions and eventually the devouring greed for power in a Progressive New World Order.

Heartbreak at the thought of the children of tomorrow and America’s future, if union thugs aren’t tamped down and disempowered, and our nation’s values and institutions don’t get back on track soon.

Just shame, shame, shame on these union members (teachers!). What a negative, disturbing example they are setting for all children about whom they, supposedly, are to be teaching to be upstanding and respectful citizens. What a pity for the kids in their classrooms. And, hurray for the Messmer school where those values are espoused by the high level teaching staff.

I do wish that people would stop using the term “progressive” to refer to the left. Do you think what they propose is progress? I don’t, so I don’t call them progressive.

[newguy357]

It’s a historical term that accurately reflects their philosophy of man (i.e., the idea that there is no such thing as an immutable human nature, that instead man will continue to evolve into higher and nobler states, and hence society with that). ‘Progressive’ is actually therefore a much more accurate word for them than ‘liberal’ since philosophically they are very much the former and not at all the latter.

[RonF]

Oh, I'll grant you that calling them "liberals" perverts the historical use of that term. But your reference to the philosophical roots of the term "progressive" isn't what comes to mind to the public when that term is used - and I daresay it doesn't come to mind to 90% of the people who use the term to describe themselves.

The union adults acting like ill behaved children while the real children are well behaved.

[STARWISE]

Pathetically so.
This union thugism and evil intimidation
MUST be stopped.

I agree with you for the most part--my only point is that the mistake is not in calling those on the left "progressives" but rather in not asking them where it is they are trying to progress to. In the long run I think we'll do better for the country by educating people about the vicious history of the word "progressive" than we will by labeling the left as something else. I want to hang the label of progressive around their necks, complete with its horrifying history (e.g., eugenics as one example). I want them to have to answer for it. Calling them something else gives them an out.
