Gotta start the indoctrination early!
Indoctrination must start early, in order to be effective.
I’mm 55 years old, and I remember “This Land is Your Land...” “If I had a Hammer” and other pro-commie songs from 50 years ago in school.
Did he write that one about "houses made of ticky tacky" too? Most chinese people wish their house was made out of something as fine as ticky tacky, whatever the hell that is. Their houses are made of garbage held together with mud.
Never been a Seeger fan. Can’t forgive he and the Weavers for their horrendous butchering of “Goodnight Irene.” But,,,, Ry Cooder did do an excellent rendition of “Bourgeois Blues.”
It is why the Catholic Church developed Catholic elementary schools and didn’t establish the German idea of “Kindergarten”. (Todays “Catholic” schools are not any better than most public schools, since they are taught by laity and some not even Catholic, and they removed the true Classical Education, like public schools).
Education is the Duty of parents and the ideology of parents should never be undermined, even after the age of reason when is the earliest time children should be “taught” by anyone other than family, unless there is ultimate trust/love in the caretaker. The mind is as important (if not more so) than the body.
Worldview is determined by what the child experiences and is “taught” by their authority figures. Emotions are tied to ideas and are embedded. Reason should always be what education encourages-—never emotions—unless those emotions are always tied to the Christian concepts of Virtue.
Ideas of Marxism/slavery/vice should never be given respect, praise, or be glorified to anyone of any age in and “education” system.
“I’ve got a hammer and I’ve got a bell, and I’ve got a song to sing all over this land, It’s the hammer of justice, It’s the bell of freedom, It’s the song about the love between my brothers and my sisters, all over this land.”
“This land is your land, this land is my land, From California to the New York Island, From the redwood forests to the gulfstream waters, this land was made for you and me.”
I’ve been mentally reviewing the lyrics, and I can’t find anything offensive or commie about them. In fact, they are often included in patriotic sets for Independence Day. The others on the CD I am not familiar with, they may be propaganda tunes, not appropriate for kids. But five year olds will not understand the meanings yet; you have the opportunity to mold their thinking on that.
Uh..... Commun(ist) Core Corriculum ?
