A Middle School Challenge (Vanity)

The mom of a local middle-school student sent me (and the rest of her list) an email about an upcoming "Challenge Day" scheduled at school. The purpose of her email was to recruit parent volunteers for the day. She included a brief description and a link to the website.

The vague description raised some red flags, so I went to the website and did some information gathering. It included media links, information on a new book written by the founders, local testimonials, sponsors and so on. I went to the About Us menu bar and (w a Glenn Beck sniffer) clicked the 'Global Leadership Council" and found Van Jones' profile buried lower on the page.

The seminar may very well be a great program despite the progressive leadership, however, I thought it was worth a heads-up.

Great link. Thanks! It’s good to reread it now and then. The commies’ goals, set decades ago, have all come true.

Thanks nit. I saved it to send out to my daughters. Young people are often unaware of what’s going on behind the scenes - just as I was unaware of what was going on when I was young.
