4th Grade Students Taught: “Government Is Like Your Family”, Provides For You
Saving Our Future ^ | Sept. 2, 2013

If you come from a broken or dysfunctional family, or bad neighborhood, how enticing and deceptive this indoctrination is… Via The Blaze: Fourth-grade students in Illinois are learning that “government is like a nation’s family” because it sets rules and takes care of needs such as health care and education. So says a worksheet for social studies homework that was distributed to students at East Prairie School in Skokie, Ill, complete with a drawing of Uncle Sam cradling a baby that represents the citizens. Students are then prompted to answer 10 questions comparing government and families, including how their family provides for their health care needs and how the government does the same, and what rules families set and what rules government sets.

Your mother and father would like to keep you as a child your whole life.

The Government WILL keep you as a child your whole life.

More like Soviet Russia.

There was a scene in the movie “Europa, Europa”, where Polish orphans were in a Comintern school, right before the Nazi invasion.

The teacher told the children to pray to Jesus for Candy, and none came...Then the teacher told the children to ask Comrade Stalin for candy and candy came raining down from the ceiling.

1. How does your family keep you safe? by having a gun

2. How does the government keep its citizens safe? by taking away my daddy’s gun

The worksheet asks the following questions:

1. How does your family keep you safe?

2. How does the government keep its citizens safe?

3. How does your family keep you healthy?

4. How does the government keep its citizens healthy?

5. How does your family help you learn and become educated?

6. How does the government help its citizens learn and become educated?

7. What kind of rules does your family have for you?

8. What kind of rules does government have for its citizens?

9. How does your family punish you when you break the rules?

10. How does government punish citizens who break the law?

Teri Madl, the superintendent for East Prairie School District 73 in Illinois, told TheBlaze the assignment was not pushing a political message.

Teri needs an education.

This is welcome and good news, but if they are truly like our parents, I have a question.

At what age does the government kick you off their support and out of the house and tell you to get off your butt, get a job and support yourself?

How does the government keep its citizens safe?

Therein lies the difference.
The government does not "own" the citizens, the citizens own the government.

If the government was your family, you would not have been born.
