Parent Blows Whistle on Teacher Promotion of Obama Internship

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.

Just get in, learn their stuff, and get out.

Aw hell naw! Screw up their projects in subtle ways while you're there.

...but implied the teacher did not look through the material before handing it out.

And if you believe THAT...

I like the way you think, but if one really wanted to toss a monkey wrench in the works, go full out and make it look like their true believers were the ones causing the problem. Maximize the disarray, and perhaps the program would end.

I know, that isn't fighting 'fair', but the gloves are off. The only rule in a bare-knuckle fight is to win.

In other news.. here in California... my husband mailed a card back to Registrar of Voters for his absentee ballot indicating he wanted a Republican ballot and the card was sent back to him as

“undeliverable” to the address. This is the card provided BY the REGISTRAR office!

He took it to the local post office to a supervisor. He asked her if the Registrar is out of business or had a change of address. She looked disturbed when he asked if they had ACORN workers in the back! She ripped the undeliverable label off and said they would have it delivered.

She was obviously disturbed, and was seeking to keep it quiet and calm. How many instances of this are going on for the June primary?
If we get it back again we are going to the conservative medcia to get this out.

IMHO, this is Marxist background stuff instituted by ozeros handlers. We have no idea just how many little deeds like this are going on in the background.

While our eye is on cap and tax, amnesty and the outrage of obamacare the Joker and his minions will be pulling off hundreds of stunts like this.

We have no way of knowing all of them, but, if great parents like the above will keep the blogosphere informed we can kill everyone that rears its ugly head.

We should rub the msm/dbm's face in everyone we catch as well for not doing their supposed job.

We have 7 more tough months and than two years to take over.

anything is possible I suppose.

I’m speaking in a general sense from what I’ve learned hanging around teachers over the years.

98% of them are libs.
They seemed shocked when their point of view is challenged.

They seem shocked when they find out there actually IS another point of view.

If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't prepare well enough.

Don’t worry, my hours keep me from seeing most of them myself.

Nah. It's because they didn't.

Dude, you’re far more sporting than I. I try never to find myself in a fair fight.
