Our continuing look into the public school system and what is being taught to our children generates another surprise today. Kids in New York are being taught to be like Van Jones!
Today, we learned on the Glenn Beck radio program (video clip at the end) that the public schools in New York state have a special program in their curriculum on Police Brutality that prominently features Van Jones, a former White House Green Jobs Czar who stepped down from that plum position after his deep roots in many radical organizations were exposed on both Beck’s TV and radio programs. Here are some of the classic clips featuring Van Jones’ own words:
...
The former Green Jobs Czar is fond of saying that he doesn’t mind dropping the radical pose in order to achieve the radical agenda. He has not only changed his “pose” but apparently suffers from selective memory when referencing his own history. Van Jones’ bio has much of his recent history while seeming to forget his roots in some very radical movements. Conspicuously absent was any mention of his ties to something called S.T.O.R.M. After he graduated from law school, Mr. Jones joined STORM, (Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement). This Socialist-based organization claims to have given birth to the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, something that Van Jones actually does claim on his resume.

I was looking at the curriculum the other day and its really rather disgusting. I have no idea how anyone could justify teaching that garbage to school children.
This is a crystal-clear example why the Federal government should have NOTHING to do with education in this country: using the schools as political propaganda machines. Sickening. Reason #45,245 that we homeschool.
The ends justifies the means
- Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals, chapter 2 ( Of means and ends )
This does nothing to prepare students for employment, but that’s no surprise. Another day, another reason to homeschool. You know the drill all too well by now.
Money.
Van Jones wants to be a billionaire superstar. He said so when he equated the American dream with being a billionaire and winning American Idol. Everything shines in his image, creating his ridiculous sense of ‘power.’
Look at what he wears. Armani and custom shirts. Photo bios worthy of John Muir preserved for Kingdom come. Just another power-hungry dictator wannabe, complete with 22K ghetto chain and accompanying cross. Nice manicure, though.
Speak truth to power? Speak facts to Van Jones and watch him slither into the sewer he came from.
Give him creds for making good, but don’t think you can give him money and expect any return on investment, sukka.
van jones want to be the “boss” with his homey barak.
What he doesn’t know is that he is only a tool to be used for barak to gain his ultimate goal.
If jones had half a brain he would change his ways. Unfortunately for him and us he actually believes that his revolution will put him in power.
Lenin called people like him usefull idiots.
Just like the public unions.
And the media.
