As much as we like to think the UN is irrelevant, you should know that many many schools across the country have UN clubs, send students to the model UN (and not the model Congress) and are brainwashing the kids to think they are global citizens and the US should be subservient to the UN.

The UN defenders in my county literally froth at the mouth and viciously attack if a loyal US citizen speaks out against the UN and the atrocities it has committed.

Here in Florida, there are public schools where, upon graduation, you become a "Citizen of the World".

When I was growing up in the '70s, Danny Kaye came to our school to flak for UNICEF. Even then, the brainwashing was big. This has been a concerted effort for a long, long time.

I live in northwestern MO. And, I'm aghast at the penetration level of pro-UN propaganda even in small town middle America. I run into people all the time that think that any international action that we take MUST be approved by the UN. I always ask them why, and they respond with something like "there must be an international consensus." To be honest, though, sometimes their response is less articulate and more like "why can't we all just get along?"

I answer that "the US Constitution is the only arbiter of our actions," and their eyes sort of glaze over.

Your mention of the UN clubs brings back school memories. We had similar activities, mock UN, etc. Who can forget "trick or treat for UNICEF."

This is the michief that a society reaps when it surrenders the idea industry part and parcel to socialists!

Yes, more of the insidious multiculturism/diversity ideology. This very Marxist thinking has pervaded most of our society's institutions, including the minds of the administrators and teachers of the k-12 schools.

(of course, they haven't much choice in what they teach--the state mandates this)

I think some of the educators who go along with it don't understand what it really means or how damaging such doctrine will prove to be to the American way of life.

A good reference:

Order, order! Do you kids wanna be like the real U.N., or do you just wanna squabble and waste time?
