Defund the NEA. It is just another arm of the DNC.
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.
It seems to me that these students' class hours could be better spent in the study of spelling, grammar, and style.
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.
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.

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.
I was able to make a DVD copy of the Great Global Warming Swindle before it was pulled from the Internet. (I understand it is now back.)
Anyway, I gave a copy of it to a high school teacher who was conducting a class in current events. He had shown them “An Inconvenient Truth” and to his credit was looking for something to counter Gore’s opus. He said that the film generated the most discussion yet on any topic presented.
It’s encouraging that at least some instructors are interested in teaching their students to think and analyze.
He said that grade school teachers in the US and other European countries taught their classes lies about whales being in great danger of extinction due to Norway's supposedly cruel, genocidal rampage. The teachers had been supplied with names & addresses of Norwegian teachers and schools, and Norwegian newspapers. The propaganda they fed the kids (no doubt from lesson plans they didn't write themselves) drove many kids to intense states of pain, tears, terror and hysteria.
Then the kids were told it was up to them to write letters that might just very well save the whales from extinction, or at least from merciless slaughter. The teachers gathered up these begging, pleading, borderline-hysteria letters, some of which had little margin notes from the teachers pointing out the tear-stains in case the reader might miss them, and mailed them off to various addresses in Norway.
My impression was that this was more counter-productive than productive, as it infuriated many Norwegians to witness how outside pressure groups with political axes to grind were willing to manipulate children, no matter what collateral damage might be done, to gain their objectives.
I found this “teacher’s” email address...I’m gonna let him know how I really feel about this
Thanks for the posting; I am not very interested in polite discussion amongst the informed. Screaming the facts is the only way you get someones attention. That’s what Gore did and there hasn’t been any real rebuttal on the subject except that nerd who studied the NASA data base and found huge flaws. The problem must be the instructors in these schools are as dumb as sticks and aren’t able to see the forest because of too many trees. As far as I have read there doesn’t seem to be any money to prove Gore is a fool. The one story that had government agreement was that case in England where the judge put restrictions on English schools due to real science disputing Gore’s insanity. Don’’t forget that the teachers have been sent through the same educational system, receiving the same training dumbing down everyone so degenerates can get a diploma. This is the real problem IMO.
If somebody wants to create a car engine that will get 75-100 mpg, I think it is wonderful...if only for the fact that it will cut down on my gas budget every payday.
I would say that the same goes for electrical-generating power plants, except that I live in Kentucky and we have extremely low electrical costs thanks to the power plants burning local coal. But it would still be nice for the rest of the country.
A Nuke power plant, in southern Indiana, would replace 3 coal fired power plants and would have been operational in 1977. 31 years of spewing CO2. Do you think these kids will ever hear about this? No, suppression of facts to support misplaced emotional responses is their forte.
This article and the one by Sowell are a perfect pairing. This one reminds me to point out that it is child abuse for political activists to frighten children for political gain. I remember that during the heyday of the nuclear freeze movement, teachers and invited guests were describing in vivid detail to children in classrooms how they would be fried if a nuclear weapon were detonated. Then, when the children,predictably, had nightmares, they were trotted out before the media to say how frightened they were.
This all post-dated the end of the war in Japan, and the fact that no more nuclear weapons were ever used never caused a single nuclear freeze activist to apologize for using the children as propaganda. Probably many of those same activists are now beating today’s children over the heads with the threats to their well-being from global warming.
Parents could have stopped this both times by vociferous complaints to the schools and the media.
