If I didn't put in killer hours at my full time job, I would love to have the time to make a huge stink over this! I'm sorry to say that even though I've fought many educational battles in my lifetime (won many, and lost a few), this is my baton handoff to those FReepers who have the time and energy to spread the word about this incident. Good luck to those who can make an effort and a difference.

Here's the information you asked for on the other thread. Sic 'em!

In Houston of all places....ugh

My kids would not be in that school anymore. They would be home schooled, properly.

[OK]

The UN Charter was modelled after the Soviet Constitution. That is all you need to know about your future government.

COB1 or Taxman, either of you know e-mail, phone, fax info etc. for Houston School Board, Mayor, etc. etc.
We need to organize a massive FReep online!

[Joe Hadenuf]

Seems to be lots of bizarre news coming out of Texas lately.

"The UN Charter was modelled after the Soviet Constitution. That is all you need to know about your future government."

Yes, and unless this country wakes up SOON, the commies will take over and narry a shot will have to be fired. The leftists have almost completely taken over our publik ejucashun system.

Got enough time to turn off the TV for a half-hour to write a letter to the editor of the local "mainstream" daily - and whatever semi-dissident weekly any city Houston's side undoubtably has?

Got enough time to spend 15 minutes more phoning your local school board member - and telling him that this kind of brainwashing will mean active opposition against the school district's next tax hike referendum?

Please take a few minutes to look up your state education code. Copy the section that says schools are supposed to instill patriotism in the children--yes, even in California we have that in our Ed Code, your state probably does too. If you wanted to, you could check the classrooms. In the California state ED Code it says there must be a flag hanging in every classroom.

Document the violations. If you like you could contact a legal group like the Texas Justice Institute, or Pacific Justice Institute and ask them to write a letter informing the district they are violating the Ed code. Some of these groups will do it gratis. Bring some friends to a school board meeting and present your facts and the law. Be sure to speak specifically with any local reporters at the meeting and emphasize the district is BREAKING THE LAW. Step back and hope for the best. You'd be suprised at the response you get when you bring the law into the discussion. It won't take that much of your time, and BTW, I think the future of our country is worth it, don't you?

BUMP

Ugh! And people think that Osama is the greatest threat to U.S. security? At least with Osama we KNOW that the only choice is to fight. Not so with the U.N., who instead of resisting, we instead hand them the reins of power with a smile on our faces as they worm their way into our nation, subverting us from within bit by bit. Like lambs we go to the slaughter house. One day we're gonna wake up and find the flag of the United Nations waving over the White House.

I've managed to find the time to shout it to everyone and anyone who will listen, including making several phone calls to some influencial people. I've also spent time posting this announcement on this thread so that you would know about it. And FYI, I don't live in Houston, so cannot call my "local school board member" about it.

Tell me, how are YOU planning on participating in getting the word out?

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I think it is a globalist backlash. Texas stands defiant. And so, the children of Texas need particular focus.

Was this a private school or a public school? It sounds like a private, or maybe it was a charter. Either way, you can tell they're doing it to protest the Bush administration.

[Captainpaintball]

I don't know if the principal (Kenny Ryan) got suspicious or what, but he got on the phone while the woman was looking for a copy to fax to me and asked if he could help me.

THis tells me that they KNEW they were doing something wrong and had a contingency plan in effect to deal with people who were "on to them"

I know you said you have "killer hours" but what about the parents of your childrens' friends? Can you at least alert them to this? can you get together on the weekends and take an aactive role in your child's education, instead of letting total strangers (LIBERAL strangers, at that!) brainwash your kids?

THE REASON LIBERALISM HAS TAKEN SUCH A TOLL ON OUR COUNTRY IS BECAUSE WE HAVE ALLOWED LIBERALS TO INDOCTRINATE OUR CHILDREN IN THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES___THEIR EDUCATION!!!! WE CAN NOT TAKE A PASSIVE ROLE IN EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN ANY LONGER!!! IT MAY MEAN LESS "FREE TIME"" DURING THE WEEK OR THE WEEKENDS, BUT WE HAVE TO REALIZE THAT THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY IS AT STAKE!!!

WELL FOR ME I JUST EMAILED IT TO ABOUT 3OO CONSERVATIVES ACROSS THE USA

WORKS PRETTY GOOD TO GET THE WORD OUT

"Was this a private school or a public school?"

It's a public school. The lady I spoke with called it a magnet school and said that most children who went to the school were from that area, but indicated that some were bused in.

Maybe they should teach their children this song instead of that pledge.   It's amazing how many school children don't know our song... Back in the "dark ages" when I was in school, we sang this song every morning before the pledge (grades 1 - 6)... The Texas State Song: "Texas, Our Texas" Hear Our State Song: (6K .mid file) "Texas, Our Texas," the official state song of Texas, was adopted by the Legislature in 1929 after being selected in a state-wide competition. It was composed by William J. Marsh of Fort Worth. The lyrics were written by Marsh and Gladys Yoakum Wright. The song is comprised of three verses and a chorus, as follows: "Texas, Our Texas" Texas, Our Texas! all hail the mighty State! Texas, Our Texas! so wonderful so great! Boldest and grandest, withstanding ev'ry test O Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest. (chorus) Texas, O Texas! your freeborn single star, Sends out its radiance to nations near and far, Emblem of Freedom! it set our hearts aglow, With thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo. (chorus) Texas, dear Texas! from tyrant grip now free, Shines forth in splendor, your star of destiny! Mother of heroes, we come your children true, Proclaiming our allegiance, our faith, our love for you. (chorus) God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong, That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long. God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong, That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
