SI Hayakawa is also a bunch of crap
“We are nothing. Mankind is all. By the grace of our brothers we are allowed our lives. We exist through, by and for our brothers who are the state. Amen.” - ANTHEM by Ayn Rand
Smells a little like hate to me.
Where did you see this? I want to post it to my fb page, but I want to cite a source.
They can say what they want; the parents of the students should tell their kids to keep quietcall for heads.
What does “united in diversity” mean? Isn’t that a lot like saying “bonded together by the things that divide us”?
establishment of religion and forced association.
Dear IronJack,
Don’t know, don’t wish to know, and wish whomever started this “stuff”, would meet with Bruno, coming out of their favorite Starbucks!
Dear FrdmLvr,
I HEARD THIS, this morning, on the Walton and Johnson radio broadcast, as an employed educator working in the Orleans Parish school system, called in to report this, to the world, with name undisclosed.
Dear BenLurkin,
AS I HEARD IT ON THE RADIO BROADCAST, SO DID i.
IT WAS NO HOAX. I do not work for any comedic entity.
Strike up the band!
"I pledge allegiance to Humanity,
So I am an ally of homo sapiens. So who is the enemy? Those who would promote lifestyles that make propagation of the species impossible... and those who prevent current pregnancies from going to completions... and those who stand in the way of terminating the lives of the most heinous murderers... and those who place the lives of a tiny sub-strain of some pond minnow over the health and success of my family... good so far...
and to the World that gives us life,
Yes, I am any ally of this planet. Anyone from other planets that comes here to cause a fuss will certainly see my tiny fists of rage in response! As for those of this planet who want to argue over what is best for this world, I refer them back to my first allegiance herein stated, to humankind... and thus the eastern-crested swallow-tailed blue mosquito comes in second. Sorry, Gaia. I already made my first clause in this Pledge.
one People, united in diversity,
Yes, we are one species, and we are united in that fact. And we are also dedicated to our diversity, as proven by our national boundaries, our dedication to regional ideas and ideals, and the very different languages and cultures and experiences that we have... and enforced by our occasional scuffles and fights over said diversity.
and one World,
Up until we branch out to the moon and Mars and Europa...
united in peace,
Peace through superior firepower and mutual respect, and not simple common subjugation to one large authority
with freedom and dignity for all."
For all... equally... and not special rules for special interest groups, nor Affirmative Action, nor graduated tax rates, nor differentiated treatment for certain faiths... with freedom enforced by a limited government, and a happily re-stocked gun cabinet and oft-used gun range, and a vote that is reserved only for those who contribute to the treasury.
Yeah, I'm good with this. :)
Oh, hell no!
Not in post 12 he’s not. He’s explaining to anyone who’ll listen how it is progressives get children to accept something that is not in their interest, almost free of intellectual honest, and possess only a whiff of logic.
He’s saying what Orwell was saying:
“War is peace”
“freedom is slavery”
2 and 2 do not make 4.
Obama said YESTERDAY, “Raising the debt ceiling will have no impact on our national debt.”
You think ‘false maps’ could make such a statement logical to a generation raised on that sort of language?
Remember “Work Smart Not Hard”? Great at selling college, but lousy at helping kids find a career. It also did a pretty good job turning a generation of above average intelligence kids into slaves of their college debt.
Same sort of ‘false map’ type programming.
Where is the Governor?
Try one of Hillary's legs.
Thanks! It’s going on my “wall” or whatever the heck you call it.

He was to show up in someplace, with the big key, in the Monroe area, saying how he has saved jobs.
Piyush ‘Bobby’ Jin-Dahl, the anchorbaby Governor of Louisiana, who has spent more time out-of-state than in the Governor’s Mansion, doing his job.
Dear Teacher317,
YOU are a shining example of an un-American Communist!
Where is putting AMERICA FIRST fit into that grey matter of your’s????
Thank you!
Terry L Smith (Post #15) and yldstrk (Post #21) either did not read the excerpt or have a far different understanding of it than I.
Hayakawa is warning of the dangers of indoctrination in ideologies that have no basis in real world conditions. One of the prime objectives of liberalism is to control education and the dissemination of false “maps”.
On a bus ride to Chicago years ago, I sat next to a college coed who was reading BF Skinner. I had a little exposure to Skinner’s ideas, so I asked her about the book.
Coed: “Oh, he has the most wonderful ideas!”
Me: “Really? What does he say?”
Coed: “He says that all authority is bad!”
Me: “Really? This bus driver came in to work today and his supervisor told him to drive bus #5371 to Chicago. That is authority.”
Coed: “But he doesn’t HAVE to!”
Me: “If he wants to keep his job he has to. Besides, I don’t know about you, but I’d really like to get to Chicago today.”
I’m puzzled as to why anyone would consider these paragraphs to be “purely subversive psycho-babbling Communist rhetoric!” or think that “SI Hayakawa is also a bunch of crap”.
Much of the Black community has been deceived by the false “map” taught them by the educational establishment and the media, the “map” that says “all your problems are due to white people and events of 150 years ago. The “map” that tells young black men that mastering the 3 R’s is “acting white” and they will all become rich via the NBA or perhaps “live long & prosper” by drug dealing.
Much of the rest of the country has accepted the false “map” of “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.”
