Parent Blows Whistle on Teacher Promotion of Obama Internship
The parent of a Perry High School student in Massillon, Ohio, set off a firestorm in his community and in the blogosphere when he gave Pamela Geller, of AtlasShrugs.com, a copy of an internship application provided to his 11th-grade daughter's government class the last week of January. The information packet, emblazoned with the Obama presidential campaign logo, was from DNC-funded Organizing for America (OFA), the successor organization of Obama for America. The student's father, identified as "Chuck," told Geller that the teacher offered no Republican Party internship equivalent to students.
The document, posted in its entirety on Geller's website, promotes a ten-week internship for "empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda of change," and for which students may receive course credit. Interns must commit to at least 12 hours a week, and will be taught how to be "leaders in OFA's organizing work this summer," i.e., campaign workers for the 2010 election season.
Yes, but does 'junk' mail include items that are federally mandated, school district approved 'programs'?
I'm just not on the 'blame the teacher' wagon that everyone else seems to be on , here, today.
I think the principal and board acting like they knew nothing about it, is a clue to where the real problem lies.
Just think how difficult it will be for parents when Obama’s healthcare comes into effect and parents will be saddled with sky high premiums and more taxes.
On the other hand, if enough parents decide to “starve the beast” and have one parent stay at home to educate the kids (because that’s a parent’s right) maybe the whole system will crash and burn. Get can’t blood out of a stone, right?
the government(?) teacher violated school policy by passing out the forms,
That’s it- Mitch Daniels is one of the “V’s”
Well potted plant, I could have told you this day was coming Zot girl.
Goodbye until you become a retread troll, and say hi for us to the other koolaid drinking Obots out in wacky land. ;-)
I flagged you as a troll awhile back.
Good to see my trolldar is accurate.
Sometimes it is just too easy. As I mentioned to another FReeper a few days ago:

If Plant believes what he has quoted on his page, he is definitely a loose screw.
Guns and Drugs go together worse than skydiving and drugs!
Spiffy uniforms?
He cant be serious.
I figured he was a troll just from his handle..
~~PING!
Added zot interest included ... ;)
“Oh America, America how long will you be so deaf and dumb to the chariot wheels carrying you to the guillotine?”
Can I swipe this for my tag line (if it’ll fit)?

People have been hitting abuse on Plant since he signed up.
Or the teacher was a leftist, many are.
I love that watermelon cat photo!
Lots and lots.
He was a hireling IMO.
He may be back but his nasty attitude and style will be hard for him to hide.
Poetic and so true.
I'm not shy, please put me on!!
Glad to see Mr. Plant finally bought the Stairway to troll Heavan, he was way past due!
Thanks!
