There are two of these “talking-point “group-speak” docs on government website:
http://www.ed.gov/admins/lead/academic/bts.html
Produced by Teaching Ambassador Fellows
The first one is for K-6
• Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of congress, or the governor? Why is what they say important?
What is the President trying to tell me?
What is the President asking me to do?
What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?
What do you think the President wants us to do?
Does the speech make you want to do anything?
Are we able to do what President Obama is asking of us?
What would you like to tell the President?
The second one is for grades 7-12
• Brainstorm or Concept Web: What other historic moments do you remember when the President spoke to the nation? What was the impact? Students could create a Cause/Effect graphic organizer.
• Suppose President Obama were to give another speech about being educationally successful. Who could he speak to next? Who should be his next audience? Why? What would he say?
Video Project:
• Teachers could encourage students to participate in the Department of Education’s “I Am What I Learn” video contest. On September 8th the Department will invite K-12 students to submit a video no longer than 2 min...
The K-6 document is far more disturbing, but as Bill Ayers says, Get em while they’re young.”
Anybody with children in school should organize with other parents to keep a vigilant eye on what comes out of the Dept of Ed. This is their first year to implement the Bill Ayers School of Indoctrination. This is just the first salvo. And notice that on the Dept of Ed website, these docs weren’t even posted under the “Teachers” link; they were posted under the “Administrators” link.
To most parents this effort will appear harmless at first. It’s the “cook the frog in cold water and SLOWLY turn up the heat” school of methodology.
I wonder if they will get a number to call to report parents who do not believe in the Obama Agenda? Folks, this is a really dangerous time in the US. Every kid will be a virtual fifth column in their homes. The Zero wishes to by pass parents and indoctriate the open minded. I wonder if each student will have to salute the TV or streaming video with a? Shades of Nurenberg circa 1934 when Hitler addressed the Hitler Youth?
I wonder if someone will demand equal time? Seems to me that would be fair. We have got to take back this country from the jaws of tyranny.
