Sixth graders are 11-12 years old, aren't they? The Left's indoctrination sure starts early, doesn't it?

Defund the NEA. It is just another arm of the DNC.

[VR-21]

Is there no recourse to public schools brainwashing peoples kids? How the hell is it that these people are not being arrested?

It starts well before that age.

It is this type of indoctrination that obliterates a childs respect for parents who don’t also preach whatever the schools are teaching. The NEA needs a grenade placed under the desk.

Government schools delenda est.

"I think your (sic) fools for denying G.W. you know it could kill us all & you're just adding to it. I want you to help stop G.W. not increase it," said one letter.

It seems to me that these students' class hours could be better spent in the study of spelling, grammar, and style.

Send them back a copy of this Thomas Sowell essay titled A Childish Letter.

They would not have passed 6th grade when I was in it 15 years ago.

The left has a long history of using early education for indoctrination. Kindergartens started in Prussia in the 19th Century, with the idea that “the government is the true parent of the children, the state is sovereign over the family.”

[darkangel82]

The exact same thing the Democrats believe today.

The public schools push left wing indoctrination on children. The only thing saving us is that most left wing public school teachers are so lazy and incompetent that the kids don’t follow half the stuff they are taught. It gets worse every year.

There are too many “teachers” going into education so that they can finally be the “smartest” kid in the classroom — and can tell all the others what to do and think.

[Huntress]

Thank you for the link to Dr. Sowell’s essay. I think it deserves its own thread, so I have started one. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2013460/posts?page=1

My fourth grade daughter was the only one in her class that didn't raise her hand when asked if they think that global warming is man made. She was called out by the teacher on it and asked “why not?” She had time to give three reasons - we used to have a mile of glaciers on top of us that melted before man was even around, man made greenhouse gases only add about 1/4 of one percent to the natural greenhouse gases, and the sun's cycles (sun spots) correspond to cool and hot times on earth back to the time of the Vikings.

I was so proud, and I think the teacher was a bit taken aback. (Me too actually, I'm surprised she remembered that much of what we have discussed!)

The weekly readers magazines they bring home and our dinner conversations reveal a lot of what they get taught.

Kudos to you - you’ve done well. Perhaps the other kids in her class actually learned something that day.

It seems to me that they should have broken out the red pencils and corrected the spelling and grammar in the letters, and sent them back to the principle of the school, and sent copies to the head of the school district, along with a letter stating that before engaging in propaganda, they might want to start by teaching the children how to spell and write a simple letter.

It’s up to parents to debrief their children regularly and tell them the truth. That’s what I did with my kids. I told them to smile, puke back whatever liberal twaddle the teachers wanted to see on their tests, homework, and papers, and get an ‘A’. I taught them to laugh to themselves in the knowledge that they were getting over on their idiot teachers.

Excellent!! Great post.

Your daughter is smarter than my Stepmother. I swear that she’s unable to reason.

I also brought up the whole “ice age” thing, and how these ice ages and warming occur in cycles. And how I wanted a pet sabertooth tiger, but they became extinct before people were around (I think that she believes that humans caused the extinction of dinosaurs too, but she hasn’t admitted it publicly).

Do you remember when it came out that Mars was also going through “global warming” and the ice caps were shrinking? Proof positive that the “warming” effect is coming from the sun.

But my Stepmother couldn’t understand that “greenhouse gasses” and SUVs on earth don’t have too much of an effect on the climate of Mars. In fact, every time I mentioned that we’re dealing with another planet entirely, and there are no people on it at all, she kept going back to how we’re the ones causing “global warming” on Mars, if it’s getting hot there too.

She really doesn’t get it. The scary thing is that she does vote.
