Thank you. This is so unexpected. I have so many people to thank. First, I’d like to thank my parents for having me. I’d also like to thank the academy for voting for me. Gosh. I hear the music coming up so I’ll just end with, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Mr. Prager neglects the K-12 indoctrination. After 13 or more years of government schooling the children have become comfortable with both the godlessness forced on them in their government schools and the socialism that is the very foundation upon which “public” education is built.

Here are some facts:

1) Children in secular schools **will** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the classroom.

2) If they attend government schools they risk learning to be comfortable with the single payer and tuition-free entitlement that is the very foundation of government schooling. Hey! If the government can give the citizen tuition-free schooling, why not use that power to get lots of “free” stuff?

3) Nearly all the K-12 teachers in this nation ( both public and private schools) were trained by godless Marxists in Marxist run colleges and universities. The indoctrination continues into the highest levels of university graduate school!

4) Drive by nearly any of those Marxist run K-12 schools, colleges, or universities in this nation, and you will see schools stuffed full to the brim ( **willingly**) with the children of conservatives and God fearing so-called “patriots”.

5) The children are being indoctrinated by Marxists to hate their nation and heritage. The boys, especially, are being humiliated and drugged into submission. The Marxists are hard at work producing girly Peter Pans who are incapable of defending themselves, their families ( if they can figure out how to form one!), and our nation. The indoctrination of our youth is already having consequences in the voting booth, culture, and birth rate. It will only get worse.

Will God save this nation? I doubt it. Why should He when conservatives and God fearing parents mistreat their children in this way and subject them to such evil? ( It's a millstone thing.)

Each generation rejects the previous which is why the pendulum swings. Conservative 50-s liberal 80-90’s, conservative 2010-2020 (when the bills are due)

I was never liberal, period. I wasn’t always a conservative but I was never left-wing.

Wait until “reality” slaps the faces of these children. As always, they realize their parents were RIGHT.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well....My parents ( born 1913) and my grandparents ( born in the 1890s) though Franklin D. Roosevelt walked on water and “saved the nation”.

I started figuring it out pretty early. Nowadays, the person I most want to be like is my Father!

But the village -- i.e., American society -- has radically changed. .... In the 1960s and 1970s, American parents were blindsided.

This is absolutely true.

Every generation has had it's share of "kids who rebel." This is a natural process of transitioning into adulthood. The difference now is that the consequences of that rebellion -- that in the past would naturally cause a reassessment and realignment of one's views -- don't exsist like they used to. "Childhood" extends well into the 20s. Bad decisions are subsidized by the government. No one can "judge" you. So being young and stupid is something you can do with impunity.

Mm-hmm. A likely story.

Heh, heh.

That probly goes for most of us. I was anti-nukes as a young person even though the first vote I ever cast was for Ronald Reagan.

If you want to keep your kids, you have to raise them yourself.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Absolutely!

Any child in a godless secular school must think and reason godlessly just to cooperate. How could it be otherwise? Even if they maintain their faith they risk learning that their belief in God must be hidden away as if it were a bathroom activity.

And...If the public is powerful enough to give them tuition-free schooling aren't the children at risk of learning that this voting mob can give them lots of “free” stuff?

Look, even Reagan couldn’t keep two our of his four children from the clutches of liberalism. His adopted son Mike understood more readily than his natural born kids. I guess it’s just not easy.

It only took one to three generations of socialist-entitlement schooling to give the nation Franklin D. Roosevelt and his crypto-Marxist programs.

Fundamentally, public schooling is ( and **always** has been) a single-payer socialist entitlement. It is working **exactly** as designed by the Progs of the 19th century.

I have three sisters. They’re all hardcore libs. What is the most important issue for all three? Take a guess. If you said abortion, you win the prize. Although they claim abortion is down the list as far as importance in voting for women, I’d bet most lib women lie when they tell pollsters that abortion is not the most important issue for them. Even many normally Republican-voting women are pro-abortion and vote accordingly.
