Sorry for the vanity, but I need some help. I teach in an inner city public high school. I have been informed that we will be watching Dear Leader's speech on Tuesday. I have offered my classroom for those students who do not wish to view the speech. I have not heard back from the principal. Some topics I would like to discuss with the students include cult of personality and obama's objective with speaking directly to school children/minors. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
If I don’t get permission for this, I think I will not go to school on Tuesday.
Good luck. Sounds like you are in the Lions Den.
I assume that you will be told to form up and shut up.
I’d recommend teaching them about Marxism and it’s evils, so the kids will be able to recognize it when Obama takes off the mask.
Each was an enigmatic leader for the evil side of man. Use them as a comparison of what is happening today with this president. Similarities, differences. What the ramifications are and could be on the near future.
Read the US Constitution to yor kids.
My suggestion is for you to drink heavily. jk
The principal is politically tied. He’s damned if he do and damned if he don’t, especially in the public school system.
Good luck.
Frankly, I don’t have a problem with Zero addressing the students. It was the indoctrination propaganda disguised as a ‘suggested’ lesson plan that went along with the address.
If Zero tells kids to stay in school, maybe some inner city kids will, and that’s always a good thing. If mind numbed NEA robots have the kids writing essays on how they can “help Obama achieve his goals”, that is a bad thing.
Don’t dis the speech, dis the after speech activities.
Sorry to be a spelling Nazi, but it’s spelled: KKKonstitution....” or at least that’s what I was told...;)
Ask the students (and faculty) to list the 0be policies that encourage or are based on personal responsibility and initiative. Make a timeline of 0be speak and 0be actions (including commie czar appointments). Review the US Constitution and the recent behaviors of Congress and 0be.
It’s not enough to simply counter the liberal rubbish these days. When kids get it from all sides morning to night, just giving the opposing viewpoint isn’t going to cut it.
Kids need to learn critical thinking. They need to be able to see how opinions are manipulated, how the media uses “bias by omission” reporting, and be able to ask questions and be made aware of the Law of Unintended Consequences.
Good luck!
Ask the students what they think the purpose of it was.
Show some clips from “Triumph Of The Will,” without disclosing where/what it is. Ask the students for their reaction, and use it as a “teachable moment” to encourage the students to discriminate between substance and style.
We have legal custody of a 7 year old. He attends public school. I am not going to keep him from school. He is in 2nd grade. He voted for John McCain in his 1st grade pretend election. ( Obama won) The teacher will have to keep 23 children tuned into Obama. That will be fun itself. Unless he has Sponge Bob in the background doing flips, he will not keep it going with many of the children. I just have to make sure the little fellow does not tell the class about my 2 bumper stickers...............
How about a lesson on the Constitution and Bill of Rights?
Ummm, since when do teachers have the option of just not going to work if they don’t like part of the “curricula”.
My concern is that this is the camel in the tent entry.
If they pull this off without too much pushback, next month Baraq will come back to tell the kids about “the environment”.
Then it will be “health care”.
Use it as a history lesson. After the speech, show some documentaries of Hitler sending out the brownshirts, along with quotes about how the Nazi’s viewed education by the state.
Then ask for a discussion.
HeHe.
We have personal days that are part of our benefits package. Many businesses offer the same thing.
BTW- Dear Leader speaking to our school children is not part of any curriculum.
I'll second that one :)
