I have, for decades, believed our schools were centers for extreme leftist, socialist indoctrination, and that this was primarily the work of the Democratic party in the furtherance of Soviet style despostism. Information coming to light in the past few days tends to bolster my beliefs, and should sound alarms for parents of school aged children.
With the announcement of Obama’s speech to a joint session of Congress and schools across the country next Wednesday, the president shows Americans just how much he does not respect parents’ authority or his limited duties as POTUS. This direct broadcast of a presidential address to American schools is unprecedented. Even when past presidents have had a message for the youth of America, it has been left to school officials and parents to decide, after hearing it first, if it was something children should hear, or if it could be presented by parents or teachers. The original content of the "study package" provided by the Whitehouse as an attachment to the speech should give everyone evidence as to the intention of this speech. The Whitehouse has made "revisions" to the study package, but I dare say their purpose will not denied by revisions to a few questions. I believe this speech, supposedly addressing health care reform issues, will include statements directed at children intended to influence their thoughts concerning that debate, ignoring the fact that younger, more easily influenced children should not have such weighty and complex issues forced upon their minds by government.
Another example of the Deficrat’s attempt to use children as tools to advance their extreme, socialist, destructive policies is the
No Child Left Inside Act of 2007, an ammendment to the
No Child Left Behind re-authorization bill.
The NCLIA states as its purpose…
"Climate changes, depletion of natural resources, air and water problems, and other environmental challenges are pressing and complex issues that threaten human health, economic development, and national security. Finding wide-spread agreement about what specific steps we need to take to solve these problems is difficult. Environmental education will help insure our nation’s children have the knowledge and skills necessary to address these complex issues."
This speaks for itself, and proves my point regarding the intent of the Deficrats to promote their policies using our children as their lobbyists.
While it is too late to try persuading the POTUS against anything described here by me, and is probably not worth keeping children home that day, I believe parents should speak with their younger children before and afterwards regarding the speech and its content to impart their own beliefs on the subject to their children.
It is not too late, though, to act on the issue of the No Child Left Inside Act. As is usual in these types of situations, calls and letters to elected officials, inclusion of this issue in the TEA Party agenda and at townhall meetings, and generally letting your opinions be known, is the very least we are responsible to do.
The flagrant nature of the left’s attempt to force their ideology on the world would be hilarious if it weren’t so damned destructive to America.
