You would have to go and ask 'the question' of the thread wouldn't you.

What is up with this?

In a world where academics must continually convince themselves that they are relevent, there must always be new breaking ground where others have not tread before. Unfortunately, children have become the focus of the left. Some think they are simply trying to endear women to their camp with these efforts. I believe it goes beyond this. The left wants to control children. They've not been very secretive how important this is for them.

You can't get much more leftist than Rob Reiner. Meathead has been convinced by the shrink-wrapped devotees, that children need to be in a regimented government program from two years of age, possible as young as six months. When hawking a cigarette tax to raise five million dollars to start his new program about five years ago, Reiner made it clear that he wants to prevent parents from screwing up young children's minds before they are handed off to the government schools at the ripe old age of five.

The childcare industry has been swamped by devotees of Dr. Spock. This should scare the hell out of everyone. Even Dr. Spock said, "I have raised a generation of idiots.", but the socialists that train and license daycare employees, continue to sell Spock's acknowledged flawded logic. I mention this, because this wave of protecting the children, perfecting their training and taking the responsibility out of the hands of parents, runs rampant through the infant, primary and secondary education system today.

99% of all books on child rearing discard any form of discipline whatsoever. As long as Ackmed feels good about himself, all is blissful on the moral relativist front. You should never say no to your child. You should never tell your children that there is good and bad in the world. Good and bad are relative terms. There is no such thing in the moral relativist's world. In this culture, just imagine if you should teach your child that homosexuality is even slightly morally negative. Morality? That does not compute with these folks. Sensory overload. Into this climate emerges fertile ground for complete mind control. From the earliest stages of self-awareness, these children will subjected to leftist propaganda the levels of which this world has never seen before.

As a parent, not you I or anyone is fit to raise children according to these people. Only the people who have spent between four and eight years being indoctrinated into the mind-meld of the leftist socialist universities, are capable of seeing what we are not. Six thousand years of parenting aside, these people are convinced that you are a threat to this nation's future, if you think you are going to influence your chilld's upbringing.

Into this vast moral void, comes the liberal activist in search of a plan to ensure 'progressive' (note, we mustn't acknowledge these are socialist) policies. What better way to lock in their positioin, than to create a program that society cannot live without? And what better program, than a program that evaluates each child, so that they are each individually adjusted to the exact degree necessary?

Remember the old days when you'd take your car into a repair shop, and they'd give you a list of things you 'must do' or your car wouldn't be safe. This is sortof a twisted version of the same thing. We've got your child up on the rack, and look here. See the rust. If you don't fix that it will lead to major problems. You can either pay a little now, or pay us big time later. In truth, your kid is just fine. You know it. I know it. Just about everyone knows it. These folks must make sure the numbers they are helping look big and impressive.

These folks envision a time five to ten years from now when they'll be medicating and continually evaluating tens of millions of children across the United States. In that envirionment, who could extricate them from education? That's exactly what they are shooting for.

Someone has gotten to the President and in a well meaning effort, he is evidently intent on signing on to this tripe. I've been very reticent to play the 'not playing with a full deck card' when referencing Bush, but if he is going to support stuff like this, my avoiding that isn't going to do him a lick of good. He's his own worst enemy when he supports things like this. There simply isn't any defense for it if your at all rational.

That's my take.
