You gotta love how liberals use children. If it’s not for human shields at occupy protests, its for backdrop at a political event, liberals love to use children to pull at the heart strings. The latest example occurred last week, when children were sent out to send a message to Marco Rubio. There was a problem with that, however. The kids did not know who Rubio was, why they were out protesting, and according to a parent, were given the signs by their school. MRC TV has more… At a Capitol Hill “Rally for Citizenship,” MRCTV’s Dan Joseph talked [...]

Public Schools are Indoctrinating Kids with Anti-Gun Propaganda
They get so many other things wrong, that I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise that public schools are indoctrinating kids into believing that the Second Amendment means not a whole lot. In fact, they are teaching them that the Second is pretty useless indeed. Girls Just Wanna Have Guns has more… Boibeaux’s son is an eighth grader at Northeast Middle School. On Monday his social studies teacher gave students a worksheet titled, ‘The Second Amendment Today.’ “The courts have consistently determined that the Second Amendment does not ensure each individual the right to bear arms,” the worksheet states.

Right Angles Declared Racist
The teaching of right angles will be dropped from the curriculum of America’s public schools after it was announced that they are considered “racist and not in keeping with mainstream American values.” Declared DNC chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz: If President Obama’s election and reelection have shown anything, it is that it is time for America to move beyond its racist days of slavery, Jim Crow, Ku Klux Klanism and Republican party policies. Pressure had been building for years to stop teaching about right angles. Two years ago Michael Mulgrew (pictured here) of the United Federation of Teachers told a group [...]
Stealth Indoctrination, With a Side of Anti-Semitism
A great deal of indoctrination is most often “under the radar.” The best kind is indoctrination that isn’t implicit, but implied. Yes, indoctrination consists of the direct lies that are drilled into the soft heads of children. However, it is also the little things in the background that are not directly part of the lesson. It’s the things that are unspoken, but abundantly clear. For a great example, take a look at this from Chicks on the Right… If it hasn’t been made abundantly clear that liberals want SO BADLY to rewrite history, then maybe this little news story will [...]
Obama Quotes Bible in Sandy Hook Speech: Misses Irony Completely
In last night’s speech to honor the dead in the Sandy Hook shooting, President Obama quoted the Bible as follows… Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Holy Bible Matthew 19:14 There is one little problem with that, Mr. President. These children are in public school, they cannot come to Jesus-they aren’t allowed. Because, Mr. President, the SCOTUS decided that there is something in the Constitution that isn’t actually there, but it matched the regressive agenda. So, God isn’t allowed in schools. And, come to think of it, [...]
New Oxford High School Marching Band Marches With Hammer and Sickle
Sometimes, we get to see what happens when public school staffer believe their own propaganda. The New Oxford HS marching band recently took to the field wielding hammers and sickles, rankling historically literate parents and observers. The Blaze has more… Todd Starnes wrote on the Fox News Radio website: “St. Petersburg: 1917” [was] the theme for the New Oxford High School Marching Band [performance]. Ironically, the school’s athletic teams are called the Colonials and their colors are red, white and blue. The band’s website features a picture of the group with students holding a hammer and sickle. “There is no reason for Americans to [...]
Is the Perfect Government for the US Now a Dictatorship? Thoughts Inspired by Montesquieu
Montesquieu was a French social commentator and first-rate political thinker who lived during the Enlightenment. Although he most famous for his influential writings on the benefits of separating political powers up between three branches of government, another important concept that he wrote about was virtue. Montesquieu thought that the State should be a reflection of the people- “The government most comfortable to nature is that which best agrees with the humour and disposition of the people in whose favour it is established.” Let’s say that the people of a certain nation desires to all be equally poor and to live [...]
If I wanted America to fail
Okay all, I found a great new site and stumbled upon them after seeing their video in the Facebook group, Conservative Blogger Meet Up. This group, by the way is always chock full of videos, stories and info that help articulate the Conservative message. Great group, I encourage all to join. As I said above, I watched the video on my FB group page. It is a powerful, yet simple video which really exposes the left’s agenda for our beautiful country. Those responsible for the video call themselves Free Market America. Check out their website, it is well worth the [...]
Public Schools are Probably Going to ban all References to Frederick Douglass
Conservatives, Libertarians, and otherwise concerned citizens have long documented the many failures of the public school system. From mass indoctrination, to the exclusion of actual learning, the system is a victim of the public sector union, and it’s symbiotic relationship with the un-elected federal/state bureaucrat. And, this dismal dance of failure seems to impact minority students to a far greater degree than others, particularly black children. I did some research in late 2010 on that situation… As for graduation rates… The national graduation rate for the class of 1998 was 71%. For white students the rate was 78%, while it was 56% for [...]
Milton & Rose Friedman’s Legacy of School Reform
Besides President Reagan and Andrew Breitbart, one of the people that I look to for philosophical and intellectual support and inspiration is Milton Friedman. Here is a video that explains how his work is still having an impact on our country’s education system. His legacy lives on.

Winning school chants, “USA, USA!!!” Prinicipal says, “We want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.”
Our loyal readers know full well that Statism and all it’s inherent subversive agendas can be, and are dangerous to our culture; eroding away our values, mores and beliefs. This story is a prime example of just such erosion. A local school district is apologizing after an apparent incident of racism at a boys high school basketball game this past weekend. When the final whistle blew Saturday, Alamo Heights celebrated a convincing victory over San Antonio Edison. Alamo Heights Head Coach Andrew Brewer said he was proud of his team. “Tremendously proud,” Brewer said. “Tremendously. It’s the best group of [...]
Public School Indoctrination: Video Shows Obama in “Glorious” Light
And it seems that the kids weren’t the slightest bit interested. Take a look at the video, via Breitbart TV. The open indoctrination took place at the Cass Elementary School in Livonia, MI. I guess after the last three years, the “mmm-mmm-mmm” has left the building.

Republicans May Have Better Direction for Education Policy?
Every month teacher unions from around the nation gather together to pray at the alter of the Democratic Party, offering up the usual sacrifices (unions dues) and saying the usual prayers (another term for Obama). As part of this monthly ritual held in every public school district in the nation, union leaders faithfully repeat the claim that Republicans are anti-education and that President Obama is pro-education. Let’s examine this claim in light of the a recent release from the House Education and the Workforce Committee Republicans: Late last year, the U.S. Secretary of Education took unprecedented action and announced a plan that would allow the administration to unilaterally [...]
Arizona Withholds Funding From Tuscon Schools Due to Racist Curriculum: Leftists Declare Doing so “Hate:
It always useful to remember that leftists claim that any disagreement with them is hate, even if their are the ones committing the hate. I know, it doesn’t make sense, but in the topsy-turvy newspeak of the left, it is gospel. For a current example of that tendency to hate in the name of resisting hate, we have the public schools in Tuscon, Arizona. If you recall, that district was under fire for having a rather controversial curriculum. Here is a video… Here is some more, from Nice Deb… In October of this year,the “Freedom Socialist Party” huffed: Over the summer, the [...]
Big Government Failure on Display: Billions Spend on No Child Left Behind, with no Observable Results
Big government programs, whether run by a Democrat or Republican, are doomed to failure. It’s not particularly about ideology, though foolish ideas tend to make it worse, but at the core of the matter, government programs fail because they cannot succeed. Large, centralized programs cannot respond to local issues or circumstances, nor can they recognize individual issues and needs. Instead, they apply a “one size fits all” plan that usually fails to achieve its stated goals. These fail again and again. As for the latest example, CNS News has a report that shows that No Child Left Behind has spent [...]
Apparently, Teachers Unions Think They're Immune From From Court Orders
We’ve all heard of court orders, right? They are ORDERS that JUDGES hand down. These orders compel people to do, or not to do something. Now, if you or I were ordered by a judge to do (or not do) something, and we disobeyed it, we would face fines, jail time, or maybe even both. However, in a strange twist of reality, labor unions, and their members are somehow immune to these orders-or at lease, they consider themselves to be. Here is a perfect example, as discussed at Michelle Malkin… Well, there’s a different kind of aroma overtaking the city. [...]
Public School Fail: When all Else Fails, Cheat!
One of the criticisms of standardized testing is that schools will “teach to the test.” In other words, they teach the anticipated content of the test, leading to a narrow and dumbed down curriculum. In Atlanta, they obviously misunderstood that axiom, and decided to “cheat to the test.” A year-long investigation first orchestrated by former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue (R) and now released by current Gov. Nathan Deal (R) has unearthed cheating and unethical behavior across every level of the 55,000-student Atlanta Public School System. The Atlanta Journal Constitutionreports: “Teachers and principals erased and corrected mistakes on students’ answer sheets. [...]
Some Thoughts on the "Kill all the White People" Story
I think I originally caught this at the Daley Gator, and Lonely Conservative and Maggie have also covered it. Here is the gist of it from Lonely Conservative. “We need to kill all white people,” chanted a large group of young black men while marching through the streets of Peoria, Illinois, terrorizing citizens of all races. The Peoria Chronicle has the full accounting by a witness of the scary mob’s threatening actions. What’s most disturbing about the story is the reaction of the police. Residents are very shaken, both black and white alike. This is the fifth large mob action in about a month with [...]
Quick Hits: Why are Your Children Still in Public School?
One of my most frequent suggestions here at the CH 2.0 is for parents to get their children out of the public schools-preferably yesterday. Today, here are two quick looks at reasons why that suggestion is still relevant. First up, Soylent Green recently posted this story about training teachers to indoctrinate children. When you go to their website, you can take a look at some of the workshops they’ve offered in the past. Here are some excerpts… Examining Your Hidden Curriculum to Improve Social Justice in Your Classroom This workshop will present a guided tour of the hidden ways we teach, such [...]

This is what Leftist Education Looks Like
This broke last week, but I thought it worth another look. As most of you know, Arizona passed a law that banned curricula that are racist, separatist, and courses that promoted the overthrow of the Unites States. The advocates of this, of course, did not take kindly to this. So, they sent the kiddos out to stop the local board from talking about it… Students Protest Ethnic Studies Curriculum Change: MyFoxPHOENIX.com Well, this hasn’t stopped concerned citizens from sharing their concerns. Check out the next video that shows what is in the curriculum that these kids are defending… So, this [...]
Classic Conservative Hideout: Change, Intervention, and Dependency
The concept of the government “solving” all the problems of the world has crept into our society over time. With every new program, every new entitlement, the public has gradually become accustomed to the government solving the ills of the world. And what of fact that the government seemed to make all of these problems worse? Well, that’s neglected. After all, the government is taking care of it-I don’t have to worry about it, right? Starting with the “progressive” movement in the late 19th century and accelerating greatly since the great depression, the government has vastly increased it’s meddling in [...]
What does a 10% Pay Cut Look Like? Pretty Rough
Oh, I know a lot of you have already gone through pay cuts and job losses, but on the other hand, the deal that you make as a teacher is that you will never make lots of money and in return will have a steady pay, job security, benefits, and pension. Okay, it’s a good deal, perhaps too good, but if the deal is too good it should be changed over time to fit with the revenue coming in to the state, with the changes cushioned by rainy day funds- that’s the responsible and expected thing to do. But after [...]
Culture Wars: Indoctrination in the UK
We’ve often cited how the left views public education as an indoctrination machine. And with government controlling more and more aspects of education, there are more mandates, and therefore, less freedom. Here is an example from the UK. (From Moonbattery, via the Daley Gator) Is there anything in this video that has anything to do with education? Does any of this teach children how to read, write, or think for themselves? Of course, modern liberal education is about indoctrination, not knowledge or independent thinking. So, they might not know anything about facts, mathematics, or science, but the boys will know how to [...]
Why Americans Are as They Are
Plubius Huldah has written another incredable essay. Here are three snips to stir your interest. Please do yourself a favor and read her essay. Throughout human history, the prevailing belief system changes from time to time & place to place; most people unthinkingly absorb whatever happens to be the prevailing dogma of their time & place. Here, I will show the radical differences between the philosophy of our Founding Era and the philosophy of today. And when I have done so, you will understand why our Country is declining and whatyou can do about it. In a nutshell, the Enlightenment philosophy [...]
Public Employee Union Roundup
Over the weekend, there were quite a few good posts on public employee unions. So, I thought I’d share some highlights. First up, is a video, via Lonely Conservative… Going along with the the fact that public unions fund the campaigns of the politicians with whom they negotiate, To Be Right created this diagram… Click for full sized image. So, we see the racket that this really is. Unions take money from the rank and file. Then, they use this money to support candidates that will enhance their power, and play class warfare in order to raise taxes, which [...]
Teacher Says "Write an Essay on the Glories of Progessivism"
Sometimes when I am making copies, I find lessons and projects from other teacher’s on the copy machine. One such essay that I recently found for a US History class was called “Progressive Reforms,” and asked students to write a several page essay detailing all the progressive reforms of US Presidents Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson. Students were encouraged to write what the reform was and how it helped society. Suggested reforms for students to learn about and glorify were Roosevelt’s trustbusting or founding of the Department of Commerce and Labor or Pure Food and Drug Act, Taft’s conservation efforts or the [...]
The Speak Truth Curriculum- Taxpayer Supported Leftist Indoctrination of Innocent Students?
Big Government reports about a new human rights curriculum that was recently introduced to middle schools and high schools all across New York. So this is what your tax money goes to- this controversial curriculum that promotes leftists values was funded and designed by the taxpayer-supported Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights and the teacher-dues supported New York State United Teachers union. These two groups came together and used precious education resources to create lesson plans for teachers that focus on corporate “greed,” landmine awareness, Chinese labor camps, and abolishing the death penalty. The general agenda of [...]
Conservative Hideout Freedom Plan: The Parental Rights Amendment
If you have noticed, I have been reposting a bit this week. There is a reason for this. Since Obama was elected, many of us have been pointing out every flaw in the Democratic/”Progressive” agenda. That was certainly needed, and think our efforts had an impact. However, we need to also talk about what we should be doing instead. So, here is the latest in that effort. The following was originally posted in January of this year. The left tends to define Conservatives by what they are against, rather that what they favor or support. While this is a little [...]
True Story: Liberal Teacher Told me to Stop Spreading 'Propaganda' of Liberty
One feature of my classroom that I haven’t told you all about before is my Liberty Library. I got this idea from a friend of mine who also teaches in Michigan in a nice district that is a little friendlier than mine to conservative ideas. I decided to give it a try regardless, and purchased a series of short books (30 pages or less) that emphasize themes that I consider to be friendly towards the practice and belief of liberty- books such as The Law, Why Government Is the Problem (Essays in Public Policy), I, Pencil – My Family Tree [...]
This is why my Child Goes to a Private School
When I was working on my undergrad degree, I spent three summers working at the University for their “summer orientation” program. It was a pretty straightforward process; the incoming freshmen would take placement tests in the morning, and would be given their initial class schedule in the afternoon. Other staff would have programs and talks for the parents. It was usually a smooth process, with the exception of one week of the summer…the week when the education majors came in. (play ominous music here) I would sometimes take the Composition tests to the English Profs, who would go through their own trauma [...]
Classic Snarky: I’m a Democrat; You Owe Me
Editor’s Note: Given the implosion of the left, and their increasingly insane ranting, I’ve been reminded of this post from last October. So, enjoy this CH 2.0 classic from Snarky Basterd. I’m a democrat. You owe me. I’m a democrat. I have my own pile of money, but I want yours, too, including the four pennies you have rattling around in the bottom of that peanut butter jar you frugal idiots like to use as a change holder. Give it up! You owe me. I’m a democrat. I just say I like the public school system. My kids go to private schools [...]
Reflections from High School World History Students
As many of you know, in addition to teaching AP Government, Military History, and US History, I also teach World History (yeah, I know- 4 preps!). At the end of each year that I have taught World History, I have my students do a capstone project or final project that requires students to integrate, interpret, analyze, synthesize, and link together different ideas, concepts, people, and events from world history. It’s not a complicated project. First, I take all the important words from our course, including people, places, events, concepts, and terms, and put them on a list and then randomly sort them. Then [...]
I Knew I Was Different From Liberal Teachers When…
I knew I was different than other teachers when during my student teaching, I substituted for a 9th Grade ‘US History’ and 10th Grade ‘Political and Economic Systems’ teacher at nearby High School in a local public school. This event really struck home to me how different I was as a teacher from the majority (50%+) of teachers in public schools, in particular social studies teachers- they were mostly liberal and some were very liberal teachers, and I was a very conservative teacher. The teacher that I subbed for had so many inappropriate left leaning liberal communist Democrat pieces of propaganda and teaching [...]
Public School Indoctrination: Students Study Propaganda, Conservative Student Ridiculed
Here’s the latest example of the indoctrination machine at work from BobMcCarty’s blog. Judging by the unedited plot summary below which Blessman distributed to students in her Senior Literature and Composition class, one might assume Blessman kept school district administrators in the dark about the controversial 2007 documentary on health care because she knew they might find the film objectionable: In this documentary, the director/writer Michael Moore exposes the dysfunctional North American health care system, oriented to huge profits and not for their mission of saving lives. Further, he shows the corruption in the political system, with members of government [...]

Oakland Schools Judges Green Sacrifices and Awards Prizes to Most Heavily Indoctrinated Green School
“When I was a kid, green to me was the color of one of my crayons.” So says Debbie Dunn, who now runs a project to make kids see green not as a favorite color, but as a religion to worship. Look, I like the environment- I was a Boy Scout, I don’t litter, I support efficient use of materials and little waste, and I go hiking and fishing and stuff. But as a teacher, who has an aggressive curriculum to teach, I get very pissed off at hearing how my tax money is being used to bribe teachers to [...]
Gifted Programs in Schools Training Future Liberals
One of the other school districts that I worked in has a gifted and talented program that I thought would interest some of my readers because it shows how possible and how extensive the liberal agenda can stretch into the government-run schools in our country. In some schools, gifted and talented programs for students may offer increased enrichment opportunities, ask students to take more leadership on important issues, hold seminars to improve critical thinking skills, or include visits to local museums. But in other schools, just the the program that I observed in a local middle school, the gifted and [...]
Cognitive Dissonance Part II: A Wrench in the Indoctrination Machine
In the post on Cognitive Dissonance, I talked about the methods used by the left to indoctrinate youth, and then keep them indoctrinated by controlling the flow of information. Now is the time to target one part of that apparatus, and throw a wrench into its works. Education might be a great place to start. I say this because to achieve their planned “utopia,” the left must indoctrinate everyone. Socialism, Fascism, and “Progressivism,” while all somewhat different in scope and application, are closely related in that they are totalitarian in nature. The State takes on the role as final arbiter [...]
From the Culture Wars: Sweden to Jail Homeschoolers
Sweden is often held up as an example of a model socialist democracy- one where there is material plenty, freedom, and a wide array of social services. It sounds like the best of both worlds, doesn’t it? Well, maybe-kinda-sort of. Apparently, some Swedes aren’t so “free” in the model socialist democracy. STOCKHOLM (LifeSiteNews.com) – The government of Sweden is taking a hard line against homeschoolers, proposing a bill that will only allow home education under “extraordinary circumstances,” reports the Home School Legal Defense Association. The bill is expected to pass in the Swedish parliament, following a review by the Supreme [...]
Reynolds Consent of the Governed: A Teacher’s Perspective
On March 7th, Washington Examiner Glenn Reynolds wrote in his article: Consent of the governed – and the lack thereof: “Deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” This is boilerplate American history, and something that Americans — and, in particular, America’s political class — have long taken for granted. But now things are looking a bit dicey. According to a recent Rasmussen Poll , only 21 percent of American voters believe that the federal government enjoys the consent of the governed. On the other hand, Rasmussen notes, a full 63 percent of the “political class” believe that [...]
Cognitive Dissonance Revisited: The Key to Defeating the Progressives
”The mental conflict that occurs when beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new information. The unease or tension that the conflict arouses in a person is relieved by one of several defensive maneuvers: the person rejects, explains away, or avoids the new information, persuades himself that no conflict really exists, reconciles the differences, or resorts to any other defensive means of preserving stability or order in his conception of the world and of himself.” -Encyclopedia Britannica My post last year about kids defying the ACLU brought me back to a point I have been making for several years. Socialism collapses [...]
Biased Questions on Standardized Tests
Occasionally in my job I proctor standardized tests that are given to every student in the state. This job is usually pretty uneventful- as a proctor, you simply read the directions to the students and then keep an eye on them. Our students test in a big empty cold gym that is filled with row after row of students, busily filling in bubbles to prove that they have learned something after years of public education. I’ve written before about how I have personally observed bias on standardized tests- read my entries Liberal Teachers To Students- Play God, Bloomfield Hills Schools [...]
Indoctrination at the second grade level
I live in a small Midwestern town of not quite 12,000 people, and there are about 35,000 people in our entire county. So it is safe to say that I do not live in a metropolis. Until a recent article in our local newspaper, I thought that indoctrination in our schools was something I needn’t worry about. WRONG. A couple of days ago there was an article titled, “North [grade school] students study facts about polar bears.” Now the words “polar” and “bear” caught my eye and I immediately feared the worst. As I read it explained how the students [...]
There is No Debate with the Left- My Confrontation with Mr. Liberal History Teacher
There is no debate with the left- there is submission or opposition which must be submitted. This fact is not just in evidence when our leftist President speaks- Obama in his infamous health care speech said that there is no debate and that he will not tolerate any discussion on the issues. But it isn’t just the President- I think this is an inherent feature of a leftist liberal Democrat- that there is no debate with them, and this reminded me of a recent run in I had with another teacher. As you are aware, I’m a teacher at a [...]
English Classes Turn Into Diversity Training Classes
As an avid reader, someone who tries to read most of the well-known classics, I should love to visit English classes. Imagine a class where students read and discuss the great literature of the ages- Plato, Cicero, Mark Twain. Imagine students reading the great books and classic novels of the past, discussing the wisdom of our ancestors, analyzing timeless dilemmas and conflicts, being inspired by beautifully written literature, and passing on stories from age to age. What a great class that would be! Sadly my recent visits to neighboring school districts showed me a different type of English class. In [...]
Students Refuse to State Race on Forms
Conservative Teacher has given me the honor of re-posting from his site. I saw this post, and I was immediately reminded of a post I did back in June, describing a graduating class at a public high school that rose in unison and recited the Lord’s Prayer-after being threatened by the ACLU not to not do so. Here is Conservative Teacher’s post: Around the nation, young students’ are refusing to profile themselves and categorize themselves according to race. In a growing trend, students are refusing to state their race on official government forms. As said senior Jessica Mae Belcher- “We [...]
Opening Day message: Viciously Attack Conservatives
Here is another re-post from the Conservative Teacher. I think you will find it enlightening. At the start of the school year, all the teachers in the district are usually invited to hear a speaker come in and talk to us about education. Last year, we brought in a very interesting teacher consultant from a major university, who told us that the best way to make students feel safe in our classrooms is to viciously attack anyone who express a strong opinion, belief, or ideal, particularly if they are libertarian or conservative. As it was explained to us in our [...]
Conservative Hideout Freedom Plan: The Parental Rights Amendment
The left tends to define Conservatives by what they are against, rather that what they favor or support. While this is a little piece of propaganda, i.e., “the party of no,” I think it’s always useful to define what we are supporting. So, I thought I might review a few issues that most Conservatives and Libertarians would be able to support, and are, frankly, important to me. As such, these are my opinions, not necessarily the opinions of the other contributors at the CH 2.0. They are open for debate, as debate is good. As for the series, I will [...]
NEA Recommends Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals
Here is another re-post from A Conservative Teacher. Kindly give his site a visit. The National Education Association, or NEA, is the largest teacher’s union in the country and one of the top lobbying groups in the nation. Almost every single state teacher’s association, including the Michigan Education Association, or MEA, belongs to the NEA. These state associations are among the most powerful lobbying groups in their respective states. And the NEA recommends that every teacher read Saul Alinksy’s Rules for Radicals. On the NEA website, under “Tools and Ideas”, along with lesson plans and articles on classroom management, there [...]
Watching a Liberal Teacher Indoctrinate Youth
The following is republished (with permission) from the Conservative Teacher. As most of you know, education is one of my significant concerns. With indoctrination at an all-time high, it is good to see a Conservative out there in the teaching profession. Last week as part of my mandated professional development I observed another teacher teaching their students. I use the term ‘teaching’ loosely- indoctrinating is a more accurate description of what that teacher does every day in her classroom. The class began with students being given an article by a very liberal slanted New York Times columnist named Garry Wills. [...]
8 Year Old Sent for Evaluation for Drawing a Picture of Crucified Christ & Other Educational Atrocities
NOTE: Important update at the bottom! When the schools have procedures that prevent the application of common sense, and administrators have no ability to judge situations on a case-by-case basis, you see nonsense like this… A Taunton father is outraged after his 8-year-old son was sent home from school and required to undergo a psychological evaluation after drawing a stick-figure picture of Jesus Christ on the cross. The father said he got a call earlier this month from Maxham Elementary School informing him that his son, a second-grade student, had created a violent drawing. The image in question depicted a [...]
Czar Wars: Kevin Jennings, This is What He Thinks Your Children Should be Reading
This is NOT a family friendly post. Do not let your children see what follows. Of course, if your child attends a public school, it’s possible that they are being taught what I’m about to show you. For the background: Kevin Jennings is President Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar.” He is also the founder and president of GLSEN, the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network.

We believe that [...]
Indoctrination? Yes We Can!
Indoctrination in schools has been a concern for Conservatives for some time. Those of us who have been following the educational system know that indoctrination has been the goal of education for decades. Now, evidence is mounting, and the educational system is being exposed for the brainwashing machine that it is designed to be. For background, kindly view, “Education: Our Greatest Battle?, and “Leftist Daycare.” Last week, the following video gained some attention from FOX News. This wasn’t particularly surprising to me. Songs, stories, games, rewards, and chastisement are all parts of the indoctrination process. I remember hearing stories about [...]
