All the elementary kids were to wear a certain color in order to PROTEST budget cuts in this state on a certain day last week. I flipped out. Not appropriate at all. As a parent I was never asked. The school just did what they wanted. Not a happy camper.

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 7:57amSo, ok, I just can’t let this go. Someone posted above asking why it’s so bad to teach about other cultures and ways of thinking. It isn’t bad to include those things but the comparisons are unfair and unrealistic. Why not tell both sides of the story? In fact these are not comparisons at all, there is no debate in that textbook nor in classrooms led by radicals. It is very easy to taint a young mind by those viewed as authority figures. I don’t want my kids to be taught only radical conservative views either. I want them to be taught to choose by being presented with facts, Facts from all sides.

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 7:42amMy boyfriend is taking on-line college courses thru the Uof Phoenix. The discussion question was asking what the future looked like for those living around the San Andreas fault. The students response about this question was as follows:
If the active continues, I think that California will break apart and the other half would be flooded by the ocean. I don’t really think that people can do anything about but just prepare for it by educate themselves on it and have plans that will help them from getting hurts.
This is the instructors response:
By taking this course, I hope an awareness has also been created about how fragile our planet is, too. And, it will take the efforts of each individual to make sure our world goes on. . . .
Expressing thoughts with the passion I have read in a number of students’ responses, over the time I have taught this class, seems like the makings of great spokespeople for “selling” the idea that taking care of, respecting, and cleaning up the planet is a must — there is no “away from” this reality.
So, what are you waiting for? I think there are just those kinds of people in our class, too. Initiating dialogues on geological and environmental concerns because “you care deeply” is a good start and a hallmark of service.

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 7:37amWhen our local public school system notified the town that they would start charging for our children to ride the bus to their public school, there was outrage. Everyone said, “If they do that, I’ll drive my kids to school.” The following year, everyone included myself and a handful of parents.
My son’s sixth grade science teacher was well known for talking about his disbelief in God and how he celebrated “moon phases” not holidays. Why was it okay for a teacher to preach his disbelief in God, but it’s not okay to talk about your belief in God?
I have heard through several sources that in our local public school kids text their answers into their HONORS class teachers – so that if they get the answer wrong they won’t be embarassed.
Girls within the school are “making out” with other girls in the hall. Gangs own hallways. Teachers and students know those hallways and won’t go there. This is not an inner city school.
Drugs are rampant. Suicides in teens are happening with more and more frequency.
We tried to work with the school. We tried to figure out a way to make it work.
My son’s fifth grade classroom had a boy in it that had a violent criminal record. He was sent to a school for six weeks to get back on track before coming back to completely disrupt the rest of the class for the remainder of the year.
People are leaving our town in droves.
We started homeschooling because we couldn’t afford private schooling. It was the best thing we could have done in our situation where the public school families had no idea and seemingly don’t care what is going on.
Too many parents are too busy keeping up with the Jones’s (where we live) to care.
The public school’s textbooks are archaic. When you homeschool, you find materials that are so easy for them to learn from you wonder why they aren’t using them in public school.
Parents – we need to love God, our children, and our country more than anything else and do everything necessary to lift our children up – they are our future.

What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it… All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children.”

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 7:05amAs a junior high, high school and college teacher from the early 70‘s through the late 90’s, I was blessed to have had a conservative education except for post-graduate studies. There, in the late 60′s I ran head-on into liberal thought and what I considered small mindedness and immaturity from profs with doctorates. Good thing I only had to put up with that for one year. Gave me head aches galore listening to their drivel.
Then, when our children were in school, Barney curriculum hit the schools with “I love you, You love me…” Remember that? I tried everything I could to bring this subtle enemy of our society and of our faith to the attention of teachers. I even went to a good Christian woman, a counselor in one of the schools there thinking she would surely “get it”. Nope! Her eyes were blinded to the truth. I fought long and hard on that issue. No one I took it to would listen to me, and most treated me as though I were really “weird” not wanting that “cute little dragon” to teach our kids “life lessons”.
If you’ve never checked out the Barney curriculum, do. It will curl your hair in its subtly. It was one of the first, at least in Texas, in the beginning of the “let’s destroy AMERICA” plan.
So cute. So innocent.
So evil.
Stan up, parents and grands! Your children and our future truly depend on you!
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT, GRANT US COURAGE AND STAMINA, IN JESUS’ PRECIOUS NAME, AMEN!

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 5:20amI don’t have any kids but I would sure be making time to spend a day at my kids school if I did have any. There is no excuse for parents not knowing what is going on. I spend alot of time w my 13 year old neighbor and have since she was 4. She is not even my kid but I care about her and every time I see her I ask her how is school, anything exciting happen, did you learn anything. Kids often will not think to offer this information without being prompted. They are easily manipulated and usually submissive to authority without reservation. Liberals are preying on the conservatives lack of assertiveness and complacency. Once the kids are indoctrinated, it’s too late. You owe it to them to look out for their best interests.

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 4:00amThank God we still have private schools and the right to home school. I am extremely fortunate that my children are able to attend a good private school. One that instills morals and personal responsibility, rather than sexual perversion and how the govt is the substitute for God. Public education has slowly been tainted by a progressive minority for about the last 30 years or so.
A huge percentage of parents both work full time jobs nowadays, leaving them little if no time to pay attention to the immorality being taught in public schools. It’s usually too late once they find out and the damage is in many cases, irreversible. This is what the progressives have worked so hard for. Unfortunately, in most cases, young impressionable minds are unable to distinguish the difference between common sense and progressivism (the cancer of society).

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 5:00amPrivate and home schooling are excellent choices for those who can afford it. Many cannot. And how can a parent be too busy to pay attention to what is going on at their kids school? It doesn’t take that much time to go to a board meeting or take a vacation day and spend it in the classroom.
We do not have the luxury of being complacent-that is why we are where we are today with an extreme liberal president.. That is the job of liberals-indoctrinating our society into socialist/liberalism. They sure as hell aren’t doing anything worthwhile or productive.

Children need to learn about their own country, its founding, its heritage first. They need to learn all about it and very well, then at high school level, or perhaps university level, begin to learn about other cultures. It’s called “grounding”, putting children on a firm foundation, giving them a good basis on which to make their own opinions later in young adulthood while they are about comparing and contrasting cultures and histories. It’s called “being a responsible parent, society, culture.”
But, you know that already, don’t you?

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 11:16amUpper tiers only, eh?
I suppose that when the upper tiers in a capitalist society decided that they preferred the horseless buggies that the lower classes would never improve. I suppose that when the upper classes discovered they could use televisions to get a version of theater in their homes that the lower classes would never improve. Microwaves. Ovens. Air conditioners. Radio. Satellite. Computers. So I suppose capitalism has never done anything to help the poor?
If you are focused on your envy, you will never see what you have. For even as your situation improves, all you will ever see is that which you do not have. And there will always be something you do not have. Such is the appetite of greed. It is never satisfied. That is why politicians pitting the rich and poor against each in class warfare is so effective for politicians. It is so very easy for us to lose sight of what we have and instead forever see only that which we do not possess.

I p;u an older texts on English. The opening was about writing essays and the methods of editing. The example essay was about why Mexicans were trying to get into this country. The 1st part told of the plight of the citizens of one small suburb. The conclusion was that US policy was creating the hardships and it was a free peoples right to cross any boarder to seek a better life. No proof was given as to why US policy was at fault nor any mention that corssing the soverign border of another country could possibly be illegal.

You as a parent of a child who is in public school, have the constitutional right to go to the school to see the textbook, and also see the teaching manual(s) for that textbook.
I did this back in the 80′s and so I have a pointers as to how to go about doing this.
1. Call the principal and tell him you want to come to the school to look over the textbook AND the teaching manual(s)
2. He CANNOT deny you. This is your right as a taxpaying citizen of the district. If he tries to deny you in any way, just tell him you are a taxpayer, and want to see what your child is learning since no textbook is allowed to be brought home.
3. After perusing the materials, if you find that your tax dollars are being spent on worthless ‘lessons’, tell the principal why and be ready to back it up (trust me you will have to back up your concerns)
4. If your concerns are dismissed, write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper and completely outline what you did, why you did it, and what ultimately happened. There will be other parents who probably knew nothing about the questionable material.
When I did this in the 80′s, I was met with the attitude “WE are the educators and know what we are doing.”

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 2:45amKudos to you Louise.
As a former school director, I applaud you. The other things I would encourage a parent to do is schedule a meeting with the school board…..closed door season if necessary which might be necessary if a particular personality (teacher) is involved. Further, the more parents who will attend and stand with you in your cause, the better. No one posting here is daft enough to suggest any student, home schooled or not not be given all the facts revealing ALL the history of this country. The problem arises in the attitudes and stances of those who are in the business of teaching and will they and do they keep their political convictions to themselves or are they hell bent on indoctrinating impressionable minds to conform to their personal beliefs. Schools, today, are filled with liberal progressive teachers……. for a child from a conservative home, to even attempt to defend the Judeo Christian values his/her family upbringing embraces, in some schools can be challenging and often futile.

Also, that book was not indoctrinating anything. It just provided information without saying one is better than another. It was just stating facts. How is that indoctrination? I guess according to Glenn and the woman who wanted to get rid of the book, they want their kids to be ignorant and not know how other countries handle different situations. Just because the school informs the children of information that may lead them to believe that America could do things differently does not make it indoctrination. A lot can be learned from looking at how other countries are run. To ignore that fact is to teach ignorance. which is apparently what Glenn and that mother want.

It was called a University. Yea, an American Concentration Camp is likely right down some long lane close to your house too. Which are worse, the ones that fry youthful hearts, souls and minds or the ones that try the body? I am glad I can leave that question in God’s hands… in the meant time I best get back to the work of liberating the hearts, souls and minds that I can reach.

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 2:41amThe proper place to learn our beliefs is in the Church, not in the schools. If we all don’t take a stand we will find our children coming home to tell us that all the beliefs we worked so hard to instill in the Church are not true. This is the main reason we must have a voucher system that allows our children to be educated in Christian schools so they can start life with a proper value system instead of being indoctrinated in the public school system.

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 4:58amFirst things first. And the first thing should be eviscerating the teacher unions. If one can’t sack these teachers one is faced with a severe difficulty.

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 5:32am@BURNTHILLS,
Thank you for bringing this fresh to our minds. While many of us who frequent the Blaze are very much aware of the indoctrination of the Hitler youth it never hurts to be reminded of to what extent they were brainwashed. Of course it is all about instilling in them a desire for public service as I believe the phrase may be today.
There is still time to participate in the GOP Presidential poll, as of right now Mitt Romney is leading with 42%, Allen West is at 34% and Sarah Palin, Hermain Cain and Donald Trump in a three way tie for third. Thank you for all who have let there voices be heard.

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 5:35amThis problem has been going on for decades. In the late 70s I was in school almost as much as my son because of a radical teacher. The authorities didn‘t listen then and they don’t listen now. If one little woman could have saved the system back then it would have been me but I couldn’t. WE NEED PEOPLE TO STAND UP AND BE ACCOUNTABLE. No one in the school system listens to one or two “conservative moms” but with MANY they will have to or bear the consequences. That goes for you fathers too, STAND UP.

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 6:27amReal Americans have to take a stand, especially against the radical illegal mexs in our country who want to take it over and unfortunately our pathetic whore government is not controlling this illegal mex invasion. The last check show about 100 ICE agents in all of America trying to find these illegal criminal mexs, and meanwhile they have babies, who are mistakenly granted citizenship. Where is Jan Brewer in this trying to control this stupidity in AZ? If the mexs want to learn about meico tell them to swim back across the river and go to school there. Wake up America….join numbersusa.com or fair.com and call your senators and raise hell.

My daughter in law is a teacher & right in the middle of this mess. I watch my grandkids like a hungry hawk when they’re in school. Take nothing for granted. Question everything.

Report Post »How embarrassing for Mr. Beck. My heart goes out to those poor people that he is using.
Mr. Beck put together another failed show. The truth, the whole truth, will win out no matter how much Mr. Beck lobbies that it should be suppressed.
Mr Beck wants his viewers to be narrowly focused on only a few narrow fantastical sound bites so they will be more amenable to the imposition of an iron-fisted dictatorial government that he is championing.

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 7:52amHave we learned nothing from history? The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich is a 1960 non-fiction book by William L. Shirer that will scare the pants off you if you look at the similarities between Hitler and Obama. If you look, yes that means you have to take an active roll in your children’s education, at how from Pre School thru College everything is being changed to a social society way of thinking. A fine example is George Soros, a product of his environment. This hatred of America and what she stands for is being taught to our children. God Help Us!!!!

What in the world are you talking about? Check out the all the new regulations that are being generated by the current administration. Check out the Federal Register and the EPA. It is quite a feat to twist what Beck is saying into “championing dictatorship”. You honestly need some help.

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 10:05amI do not understand how a school can get that detached from the community. Maybe that community is a bunch of socialist commies and there are very few real people there. This kind of crap would get identified and stopped before it got started in my community.

Posted on April 29, 2011 at 6:20pmWhat is the difference between teaching and indoctrination? The problem with the Nazi‘s wasn’t that they indoctrinated. All teaching does that to a meaningful extent. No, the problem is that what the Nazi’s taught was wrong. It was factually incorrect that Jews and Roma were vermin, that Germany’s economy needed so-called Lebensraum and the like. We see the same problem with much of the propaganda that right-wing radio and television uses to indoctrinate its listeners. This propaganda is factually wrong and more wrong than what is taught in schools.
There is no doubt that public schools and its teachers are now in conflict with corporations to the extent that the former are unionized workers, while the latter are equity-holding executives. There is a natural class conflict between the two of them, but that natural conflict doesn’t mean that either side is allowed to misrepresent the facts or promote incorrect facts. The facts cited in this episode are CORRECT, so I don’t understand why that is offensive to people.
If these parents don‘t like the school’s curriculum, or seek to micromanage everything taught in school, perhaps you should follow Beck to home schooling. At the end of the day, when Beck wants to hide facts from his kids, the government should just let him do it, and when they are disadvantaged in life, that will be his problem. We already have parents protesting climate science and evolution being taught in school. Now they cannot teach that other countries besides the US exist and health care. What is next???
