Saying that too many of our children are ill-prepared for the world of the future, President Obama urged Congress to enact federal funding for pre-schools.
“We need to replace the idiosyncratic influences of our ‘do-it-yourself’ methods of child rearing with a more cohesive approach,” the President said. “Leaving so much of the responsibility on each individual family is a formula for chaos. Different parents seek to instill different value systems. The result is that clashes of these value systems impede coordinated progress toward the collective well-being of all.”
“In addition to providing an environment for the inculcation of better values, a federally-funded pre-school program would alleviate a significant amount of parental suffering,” Obama added. “Having a place to ship your four-year-old off to each day for a few hours gives the parents extra free time they can spend on more satisfying pursuits while their child is under the capable care and instruction of trained education professionals.”
Future Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) endorsed the President’s proposal pointing out that “as Melissa Harris-Perry said on TV the other day, we’ve got to get past the notion that children belong to their parents. Children belong to the community. China understands this and has been pursuing an even more aggressive intervention with its children in order to ensure that a more uniform system of rearing the young contributes to a stronger and more unified nation. We need to get moving if we are to keep pace.”

Obama’s going after the really low information voters.
“We need to replace the idiosyncratic influences of our ‘do-it-yourself’ methods of child rearing with a more cohesive approach,” the President said. “Leaving so much of the responsibility on each individual family is a formula for chaos. Different parents seek to instill different value systems. The result is that clashes of these value systems impede coordinated progress toward the collective well-being of all.”

Yes. But it's even more general than that. It reflects the ideology of just about every tyrannical government in the world!
And it represents nothing new from the American Left. It's the same theme featured in Hillary Clinton's book from about twenty years ago: it was called "It Takes a Village."
This is satire, but John Semmons stuff is just future truth
4 year ol’ chillun trudging off to school......... get real ......... it’s like this Obamacreep has never paid any attention to young children.
Having raised our three daughters and watching them raise our two grandsons, it appears that ignoring government programs and surrounding our daughters and grandsons with what is best for all of them, love, encouragement, and praise for who they are.
Government programs have been ignored and our daughters and grandsons each have been rewarded for their accomplishments without govt intervention.
Thank You John for another well written article.
So close to the truth, it’s scary. Thanks again, John, for the ping.
Not entirely satire; it's part reality. This week we just heard the TV remarks of that Tulane female professor, and you will recall HRC's "It Takes A Village," which had a similar theme.
John Semmens writes a bit in the same vein as George Orwell.
John,
Ypur headline had me heading for a Stalin era picture of Young Pioneers. Good One!
“Saying that too many of our children are ill-prepared for the world of the future...”
Just how prepared DOES one need to be to live Cradle to Grave thanks to American Taxpayers?
(Your job has been so EASY these past 5 years, John; you can pretty much just copy & past this stuff, LOL!)
I wonder how many people who didn’t realize this is supposed to be satire are going to neglect going back and reading the rest of the thread, and will then go around spouting this as fact.
Thanks for pinging me but I hate these threads.
16 tons, and what do you get?
You get another day older and deeper in debt...
Pretty soon you will be able to quote real articles verbatim and still call it satire.
“we’ve got to get past the notion that children belong to their parents. Children belong to the community. China understands this and has been pursuing an even more aggressive intervention with its children in order to ensure that a more uniform system of rearing the young contributes to a stronger and more unified nation.

Not satire. It’s what they really believe.
