By Michelle Malkin • September 1, 2009 01:06 PM President Obama told a student report last month that he would be making an address to schoolchildren on September 8:
ServiceWire has the announcement and broadcast schedule for the speech.
The Daily Paul picked up the story last week and linked to teachers’ manuals pegged to Obama’s address, which have now been linked on Drudge.
The documents have a heavy activist bent:
During the Speech:
• As the President speaks, teachers can ask students to write down key ideas or phrases that are important or personally meaningful. Students could use a note-taking graphic organizer such as a Cluster Web, or students could record their thoughts on sticky notes. Younger children can draw pictures and write as appropriate. As students listen to the speech, they could think about the following:
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?
• Students can record important parts of the speech where the President is asking them to do something. Students might think about: What specific job is he asking me to do? Is he asking anything of anyone else? Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?
• Students can record any questions they have while he is speaking and then discuss them after the speech. Younger children may need to dictate their questions.
After the Speech:
• Teachers could ask students to share the ideas they recorded, exchange sticky notes or stick notes on a butcher paper poster in the classroom to discuss main ideas from the speech, i.e. citizenship, personal responsibility, civic duty. • Students could discuss their responses to the following questions:
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? Schools have used students as little lobbyists on everything from illegal immigration to gay marriage to anti-war activism.
And most recently: Census collection.
Will Obama be able to resist issuing a call to youth arms to marshal help in passing his legislative agenda?
The thing is: He won’t need to make the call explicit.
Obama zealot teachers like this one across the country will do all the extra-curricular bullying and haranguing for him. Remember:
Partial transcript:
Harris:We want to talk about the presidential election. I want to ask you, who are you pulling for? Raise your hand.
Student: Obama.
Harris: You pullin for Obama. Who you pullin for?
Student: Obama.
Harris:Any of you pullin for John McCain? That’s fine, say him as well.
Student: Obama.
Student: Obama.
[Cathy, the daughter of an American soldier answers McCain.]
Harris:John, oh lord, John McCain.
Oh Jesus, John McCain.
Ok, now I wanna axe you somethin.
Why are you pullin for John McCain? It’s ok, but why are you pullin for John McCain?
Cathy: I thinks it’s because my parents are going for him too.
Harris: Ok, your parents are going for him. Why are you pullin for Ba-RACK. Barack.
Student: I just want a black president sometimes.
Ok, you want a black president.
Student: The reason why I want Barack Obama is because he’s making good changes in the good country and stuff like that.
Harris: So, he’s making good changes for our country. Now can you tell me just a little bit more, like what type of changes?
Like not having big fights between Iraq and having soldiers killed.
So in other words, Barack is going to end that war in Iraq. What do you all know about that war in Iraq?
[Harris addresses Kathy] Talk, cause yo daddy in the military. Talk. It’s a senseless war! And by the way, Cathy, the person that you’re picking for president said that our troops could stay in Iraq for another hundred years if they need to!
[Camera pans to Cathy, in near tears.]
Harris: So that means that your daddy could stay in the military for another hundred years!
Reason number 999,999,965 to take control of your own children’s education.
Keep your kids home that day to send a message that we don't need this arrogant tin pot brainwashing our kids!
Why should we be surprised. Government schools are dedicated to inculcating the children with worshiping the government. What else would you expect. Christian schools preach Jesus. Muslim schools Allah. And government schools D.C. Almighty.
If you need to keep your kids home that day from a public indoctrination center, you’ve already lost them.
Sounds so like Dear Leader Obama.....in N Korea
Please do not allow your children to go to school on this day. This is hypnotism flat out. It has a cadence, leading suggestions, an anchor (note-taking) and follow up. It will make EVERYTHING the teacher says from then on about “issues” have a connection to Obama and his wishes..ie commands. Please investigate further. Maybe it isn’t as it appears in this piece, but if it is. Just NO.
I see your point but Kinder and First? Please! they are sponges. Now my fifth grader will ask for his birth certificate!!!
Dear Leader has to tell the children to wash their hands.
What a jerk.
and to cough in arm, lol.
Even better, send your kids to school that day with a copy of Mark Levin’s book, or Michelle Malkin’s book, and have them start reading from the book during the ‘indoctrination episode’. Get the other kids in the class wondering what’s going on, and then sue the hell out of the school system should the teacher force your kid to put away the book.
Even better: Christian school or homeschool them!
Absolutely incredible. This will be great fodder for a South Park episode, I can see it now-all the kids looking bug eyed at the screen while big brother speaks through his teleprompter.
Then- to the sounds of dramatic music, Sarah comes into the room dressed in her best Alaskan outfit and throws the hammer into the screen.
By the way, I wonder what all those people who complain when a commercial company like P and G tries to place products in the schools because the children are so “impressionable” are going to say about this enforced national product placement by Axelrod and Emanuel.
Have I earned a candy?
**(Keep Your Kids Home that Day to Protest!!)**
I agree!
Adults are sick of him being on primetime TV, what better audience than school kids who are held captive and look up to their teachers.
Idolatrous worship of the state. That’s fascism.
Look at your history research about Hitler and Nazi Germany.
