President Bush flew over here in a helicopter a few months back. A 17 year old I know said a high school teacher of his told the class when he flew over he went out and gave the President the "one finger salute". He told me he hates Bush and often spewls his rhetoric to his class. This a government school (propaganda mill). Anyone see the "MISLEADER" commercials? The one that really gets me is the one that states the $87.5 billion that goes to help turn Iraq and Afghanistan into sane nations could have gone for 2,000,000 more teachers ( hate spewling government union working socialists) or 200 more government schools (socialist propaganda mills). Over $700 billion a year is spent by the federal government alone on education. When is enough enough?

Luckily, most of these NEA swine lack the courage to be predators.

They're satisfied with being merely parasitic.

What do you people expect. By putting the government in charge of schools you allow it to interpet history, economics, philosophy, morals, values, culture, literature and art. Is this freedom? Why isn't every person who ever raised a child demanding school vouchers?

Yet another reason to homeschool!

This is the Liberal elite's hero... basically his strategy is to infiltrate and destroy the foundation of the Republic from within. They focus on the idea of hegemony... and apply it in a micro-sociological manner in American institutions... primarily education... most of the foot soldiers aren't even aware that the liberal elites plan social experiments and implement them using ignorant bleeding-hearts.

From Liberal Utopia Gramschi "Along with Mao, he was one of a handful of early 20th century communists who fully appreciated the central importance of cultural revolution in the struggle for socialism. His insights on the importance of cultural, intellectual as well as political autonomy for working class liberation helped lay the intellectual foundations for the rebirth of revolutionary anti-capitalist working class struggle in Italy in the 60's and 70's. The "Autonomist" New Left in Italy, France and Germany as well as the US New Left with their distinctive emphases on counterculture were all Gramsci's intellectual children. Gramsci is a central part of who we are as revolutionaries in the US and Europe are today."

"The proletarian revolution cannot but be a total revolution. It consists in the foundation of new modes of labor, new modes of production and distribution that are peculiar to the working class in its historical determination in the course of the capitalist process. This revolution also presupposes the formation of a new set of standards, a new psychology, new ways of feeling, thinking and living that must be specific to the working class, that must be created by it, that will become 'dominant' when the working class becomes the dominant class. The proletarian revolution is essentially the liberation of the productive forces already existing within bourgeois society. These forces can be identified in the economic and political fields; but is it possible to start identifying the latent elements that will lead to the creation of a proletarian civilization or culture? Do elements for an art, philosophy and morality (standards) specific to the working class already exist? The question must be raised and it must be answered. Together with the problem of gaining political and economic power, the proletariat must also face the problem of winning intellectual power. Just as it has thought to organize itself politically and economically, it must also think about organizing itself culturally..."

Honestly, after yesterday's court case condoning the teaching if Islam in California public schools and now this, I don't know why parents don't get off their butts and pull their kids out. Well, I really know why: they need to dump their kids someplace and it's "free."

In my ex-neighborhood there were two young girls, 6 and 8, who used to like to come over and play with my dog in the backyard. We would discuss various things as they played with the dog. An instructive exercise: to learn how 6 and 8 year old think.

One afternoon I was kidding them about, "What did you learn in school today?" After remarking that I sounded like their mother, they proceeded to tell me about spelling words learned and math problems solved. Then, the 8 yo said, "I just wish President Bush would stop killing all those people."

Shocked, I asked where she learned that. She said, "That's what our teacher taught us."

I asked, "Your teacher said President Bush is killing people?"

"Yes."

"And where are these people dying?"

"In Iraq."

"Your teacher said President Bush is killing people in Iraq?"

She said, "Yes. And my teacher said it was lots and lots of people."

I said, "Maybe your teacher made that up."

She said, "She'd never do that, she's my TEACHER!" (Lord, help us!)

I directed the conversation on to something else. Later I mentioned this to their mother. She was horrified and promised to take this up with the school principle. Unfortunately, I moved shortly thereafter and never learned what happened.

This is scary stuff folks!

If I have kids, I will keep them away government schools.
