That teachers would ever do such a thing is despicable!

One of my best friends - a good and decent woman, for a liberal - is a teacher, and I am absolutely STUNNED by what she believes should be her role in her students' lives. On one occassion, I explained to her that teachers are not parents, and that they should not be attempting to commandeer the responsibilities of parenthood. She looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears.

I have run up against some like her before. They are usually liberal and have had a lot of students whose parents have not been very involved in their lives. Still, that is no excuse for their attempts to be Mom and Dad.

Remember what Hillary said. It takes a village of idiots to raise a child.

That's exactly what they do, because they are people who love to control others. Put children in their care 8 hours a day, and they leap at the chance to raise children in their image. While there are many excellent teachers who know their place and respect parents, it seems to me that the educational industry attracts ignorant and arrogant control freaks.

That's why so much time is spent in the classrooms on promoting and enforcing a value system alien to God-fearing and moral parents: enviromental wackoism, tolerance for perverse and deadly lifestyles, disdain for traditional time-tested definitions of right and wrong, self-esteem (pride) based on ego not humility based on accomplishment, and just plain idiocy in general. The corrupt, immoral, and blissfully ignorant in society seek to bring the masses down the broad road of moral relativism and "tolerance", so as not to be judged and held accountable by an absolute standard of righteousness and personal responsibility. They prey on the innocent and impressionable children, because they can.

Instead of turning away from their own wicked ways, they attempt to destroy and pervert those who hold themselves to a higher standard. Nothing like a clean person standing next to them, to make it obvious just how deplorably filthy they are.

This is a spiritual batter of the highest order, and children are routinely being sacrificed to beelzebub aka the NEA. The stench has surely reached unto heaven.

One of the big problems is

such a small percentage of parents are behaving like good parents

and teachers HAVE TO CONTEND with the results of bad/absent parenting. What can they do. Many do the best they can to try and make up the deficits.

But love and respect would be fitting to extend to the students. Brainwashing is far from called for.

My sister is a high-school teacher. And although a bit of a liberal; she would be horrified if she knew this was going on. She wouldn't do this; nor would she like it if someone else did it. She and I were in a military family, with veterans for a dad and stepdad. We had numerous male relatives who are military, and ex-military.

Even though she voted for B.Clinton at one time; she admitted that she didn't like the stunts he was pulling when they were closing down some of the bases. I don't think she liked the way he treated the military in general. I think she may have been having some doubts about him, but wouldn't come out and admit it.
