I was amazed this was not already posted on FR.

When it comes to politics, few students are educated beyond platitudes and group think.

Our “Educational System” a la NEA etc makes newspeak a reality, and eliminates the need for brainwashing by the State.

Just think, swarms of young leftwing airheads like this are Obama’s footsoldiers, bringing hope and change to the rest of us, whether we want it or not.

I thought for sure she was a Poli Sci major at U T-Austin. This nation is ripe for defeat when this generation of brain-washed know-it-alls grabs the reins.

Cindy Sheehan said virtually the same thing. Sick, liberal minds think alike.

Thanks for posting.

Pretty scary, isn't it?

"When I told her that communism had killed 100 million people, I could not tell if she even processed the words. It was as if had I uttered a series of nonsense syllables. She either didn’t believe me or didn’t care."

Totally. It's similar to when they say abortions are good for the economy. Facts are meaningless to "libs" now.

That's what BDS was all about, creating people that make decisions based on the emotions they are spoonfed.

BDS wasn't a random occurence, it was a manufactured thing

Look how quickly they focused BDS on MCCain, then on Palin. It is seriously a kind of mind control

The student was correct in this sense: the Americans who supported Communism are now supporting terrorism.

I posted the following at an Ayers thread this morning. But its relavance touches all things educational, such as a partial explanation for the amoral reaction of this young UC student:

The greatest damage to our Republic by Ayers is being inflicted now; moreso than in his Weatherman days.

All need to research the word Constructivism and education. This is a nation-wide trend now corrupting teaching programs and filtering into high and elementary schools public and private.

I know this because the Catholic school where I teach is now launching such a program, and in my research, lo and behold, Ayers pops up everywhere as one of the prophets of Constuctivism.

Philosophically, it is a descendant of Deconstruction (Foucault, Derrida, ad nauseum) and it drinks from the spring of relativism.

Fuzzy math, creative spelling, emotion-based instruction, non-competition, all-values-are-equal, group learning - you know the sad refrain.

One more thing: content (what is actually taught) fades away to relative unimportance.

well, terror is kinda like communism.

they both exist. they both threaten the american way of life and need to be put down. and hollywood embraces both ideologies.

smart girl.

[VeniVidiVici]

Nope. They don’t think about communism the way NORMAL people do. To them it’s just a different economic system.

Very, um, ignorant.
