We do know that there is a task demand being handed out to Pre-K through sixth graders that includes students writing answers to things like "What is the President asking me to do?", perhaps to make sure the indoctrination has taken or not. Tasks to be completed after the indoctrination include writing letters about "what they can do to help the president" which are then to be collected and used by teachers to "make students accountable to their goals." Incredible.
We may be able to get a flavor of what will be presented through the NEA union that controls our children with the presentation of the "I Pledge" video shown to children at Eagle Bay Elementary School last week in an assembly. In this video stars "pledge to be a servant of Barack Obama." They also pledge not to use plastic bags and to end slavery.
Or maybe if we're lucky our newly indoctrinated kids will come home with a whole new song and dance.
This much is certain, the entire cadre of Ombud children will be having a parent sanctioned skip day September 8th, but that's not enough. The public and the media need to demand that a transcript of this speech be made available before the weekend. Yes you can.

But if you haven't seen it, this is classic. I went to the ED.gov site to see what they were saying about Barry indoctrinating our schooL children, and had to screenshot what I found. The"red" is mine.

September 2, 2009 - 22:47 ET by MidAmericaIt becomes more and more difficult to not relate this government and our commander in chief to those of nazi Germany, socialist Russia, fascist Italy, and so forth.
and that point is something many people have noticed. Obama is not 21'st century. His mentors and education is along the lines of 1930's fascists, marxists and communists. This government is trying to push though ideas that have already been tried and have failed in other countries of the world. Karl Marx's ideas are a failed ideology but that doesn't stop people who want those ideas to be true. They are willing to force people into a workers paradise even when the workers don't want it.

They tried brainwashing when my son started college
September 2, 2009 - 21:10 ET by FeynmanFanEveryone got a copy of Al Gorp's Inconvenient Truth and the incoming students were formed into groups to read and discuss the book. It was required attendance, but my son (a chip off the old block, if I may say so) never read the book or participated and still got through his Freshman year just fine.
It really irritates me that this kind of crap is going on with America's school children. They don't know enough to think for themselves and their heads end up getting filled with all kinds of liberal garbage. I'm glad people are starting to fight back against this kind of brainwashing.

September 2, 2009 - 21:19 ET by MightyMouthHad the same problem with my Son. In a Technical School in Wisconsin! For God's sake they tried to re-program him (from my programming) to theirs. I had to visit and set the man straight after only 2 years of indoctrination by the state. Thank God I succeded.

MM - it's a real problem
September 2, 2009 - 21:42 ET by FeynmanFanI see my son pretty often because he's close to home and we chat about what kind of BS they're feeding him. He was going down the 9/11 was Bush's Fault path until we had a good talk and I asked questions that he couldn't answer with what he though he knew. It's really kind of scary what's going on with all these liberals having direct access to the children. Maybe this Obama thing will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I'm really glad you were still able to get through to your son.

Hey Friend...
September 2, 2009 - 22:05 ET by MightyMouthIt's funny, my Son was almost beggin' me to straighten him out. We are the sort of family that hugs alot. Including the guys. Conservative principles reign supreme. I really cant relate to hollywood and coasters who need "therapy" and "psychs" on a weekly basis to cope. Dumbasses all and they get what they vote for!
"There are two types of people in this country; those who provide freedom and those who enjoy it." MM says...
MM - that says a lot of good things about how he was raised
September 2, 2009 - 22:16 ET by FeynmanFanIt means that even in the face of so much pressure your son still was hanging on to what he knew was right. That's when you know you've done a good job of raising your kid and giving him the mental tools he needs to keep things straight. My son comes to me and says "what do you think about..." and I know he's looking for some guidance about something he's been told. I try not to contradict things outright, just give him information and ask questions that make him think about things for himself.
If he makes it out of college with a good education AND a good conservative point of view on things, I'll be a very happy dad. ;)

September 2, 2009 - 22:20 ET by Willis_Leon_JohnsonThe Constitution IS a livin, breathing, document inspite of the massive onslaughts it has had to endure from those in congress who would wish it dead and buried.
The Constitution needs no surgery, medications, or amputations.
What it does need is for INTELLIGENT people to start shoving back harder than those who wish the destruction of OUR COUNTRY.

got it backwards
September 3, 2009 - 11:43 ET by jon_torlinSorry, you got that backwards, the US Constitution is a living breathing document ACCORDING to the Democrats, to them it means that it's changing, it's growing, it has a life of its own(read: change constitution by making amendments contrary to original intent). I heard Chuck-up Schumer say that, and of course anything he thinks is a good thing is bad.
To them, changing the rules of the game is what they want because they aren't getting their way, even Bambi said as such about how the Constitution is so negative. They aren't getting their way because the Constitution is in their way, like the 1st and 2nd Amendment, look at all the bills that they have passed or attempted to pass that make it harder to live by those two amendments.
Nothing personal, just how I see it.

Disturbing
September 2, 2009 - 21:33 ET by UnsaneThis is disturbing on countless levels. You cannot get away from Him anywhere, and His personality cult is all pervasive, to include the children.
Yet more proof that He is out to rule, not govern, the United States.
I'll tell the story again, for it bears repeating: many years ago, as a third grader, I was (along with the class) given what I suppose the teacher truly believed was a REALLY SUPER-NEAT assignment: to write a letter to President Reagan! We would all write the same thing on the board: a form letter that, among other things, implored Reagan to not "start a war".
I think all the kids in the class wrote the letter to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. All, except for one: Little Unsane, who, when asked by the kids or the teacher why he wasn't writing the letter, explained it this way: "President Reagan is a very busy man. He is working with Congress and leaders from other countries all the time. He won't have the time to read these letters from a bunch of third graders."
My teacher wanted to kill me: he wanted to wring my little nine-year-old neck, yet he knew what I knew then: he could not make a counter-argument to that point!

Easy "Pray"?
September 2, 2009 - 22:14 ET by BarkerI've heard a story about Castro's Cuba where teachers would instruct students to pray to God for candy, and there was none provided. The teachers would then tell the students to pray to Fidel for candy, and it "miraculously" appeared.

The Master speaks
September 2, 2009 - 22:47 ET by Hooterville DenizenAs a retired educator, I was alarmed to hear about this quasi-political speech to the captive audience of students in public schools. I E-mailed my old school and told them to be on the alert for calls from (rightly) upset parents. The Director of Communications (one of my former students) wrote back:
"The district will allow teachers to use the speech as part of classwork, however it is NOT required. Teachers who decide to use this speech are required to notify parents and provide them with an "opt out" opportunity. The notification will include the reason for viewing the speech as part of coursework and any additional activities that will be done as part of viewing the speech. The teacher will provide an alternate lesson for those students who "opt out.""
One of my friends that still teaches there indicated the teachers had to make it available to students but it was not required that they view it.
The lesson plans from the Department of Ed. are already being revised due to complaints - as they should be. Just leave the kids alone. Leave the schools alone. Washington, leave us ALL alone.
yeah, denizen
September 2, 2009 - 22:50 ET by candanceAnd just like joining the teachers' union, I'm sure teachers will feel absolutely no pressure to conform...
I know what you are getting at, but ...
September 2, 2009 - 23:14 ET by Hooterville DenizenIn this part of the state, there is no "union" as such. No collective bargining. Just "collective begging." For the most part, the school board does it's best. Usually the question of pay comes down to "would you like the money to go to health insurance increases this year or to salery?" We look at unions in the big cities with distain that use work stoppage to force an extra buck at the expense of kids and their education.
Pressure to conform? Yes, PC teachers and principals (even in our little town) can be very vocal and try to makes you feel like you don't REALLY care about the students.
Very interesting, H D
September 2, 2009 - 23:15 ET by BarkerSo, will the Obama Administration via the Department of Education have access to the names of the students (and their families) who decide to "opt out" of the Dear Leaders' speech?

Dear ____, It has come to my attention that President Obama will specifically address schools on September 8th. I could not personally disagree with the Obama Agenda more. If the XXXX School District plans to promote and present President Obama's socialistic agenda, I WILL keep my children home, and I will encourage all parents I know to do the same. Understand that I have been a member of the (Local) National Little League for approximately 14 years, a member of the (Local) Girls Softball Association for approximately 5 years, and a member of the local cub scouts and girl scouts for approximately 5 years. Moreover, my business relationships extend to both the (Hometown) Chamber of Commerce and the (Neighboring) Chamber of Commerce for approximately 14 years. I strongly urge you as a school board member to ensure that should the district present President Obama's agenda on the 8th, that it is absolutely , unequivocally NOT presented with a left-wing partisan propagandist agenda, and offers a fair, balanced, bi-partisan discussion to the malleable young minds of our school district.

September 3, 2009 - 06:39 ET by FenwickOne of the first things Ronald Reagan tried to do when he was in office was to dismantle the Federal Department of Education that Jimmy Carter had created. The Department was still in its infancy, but Reagan had no success in pulling the rug out from under it. Subsequent efforts on the part of Republicans to eliminate the Department also failed, reinforcing Reagan's quip about a federal agency being the closest thing to eternal life on earth.

This WH seems to constantly be surprised that Americans aren't communists or socialists, and that we totally dislike Obama and his thugs. Memo to WH: we don't take kindly to what "the president wants us to do." You work for us; we don't kow-tow to you. Get it?

Ah yes...

Band of Hapless Radicals
September 3, 2009 - 11:49 ET by CarlosSLOL..., everything this administration does is a public relations disaster.
rapists and pedophiles...
September 3, 2009 - 09:29 ET by JohnM...use the "don't tell anyone" tactic, as I understand from reading about such crimes.
Why is the President using "hush tactics"?
As a parent, I have a say in how much exposure my kids get to influences outside the family. How dare he usurp my parental authority!? Who does he think he is?
Oh, yeah, the Big Daddy for all the nation's kids. Sorry, I forgot.
Just a smoke screen
September 3, 2009 - 09:46 ET by totsotvaitnDon't focus on the Obama speech to the nation's children. The President's speech is just the packaging with a big bow. The biggest concern should be what will the liberal teachers do to program the fertile young minds after the speech that is cause for alarm.
Liberals have infiltrated our school system with their agenda for a long time, mostly in the colleges. Now they want the very young. Watch this one closely.
Every time something like
September 3, 2009 - 11:24 ET by Chris NormanEvery time something like this is announced, some liberals, like Juan Williams, derisively dismiss our concerns as an "overreaction" to something "innocuous". The key words here are every time. This event, taken cumultively with everything else we've seen, clearly show a cult of personality being developed by the Obama Administration, it's political apparatus, and his supporters.
The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.
Sounds to me like parents
September 3, 2009 - 12:11 ET by HockeyKidSounds to me like parents with K-6 students just need to extend the Labor Day weekend one more day. Oppose the propagandist bastard whenever possible. (No, this is not inflammatory name-calling; it's accurate descriptive language.)

then polls will be taken
September 3, 2009 - 12:56 ET by RayRayin the 1980s, polls were repeatedly taken of school children and always showed that the greatest fear that kids had was nuclear war. Naturally, they'd been brainwashed by the NEA members.
So watch and see that polls of kids will be taken after the Obama + NEA brainwashing, too.
It's come to this...
September 3, 2009 - 13:50 ET by Army BratWe must protect our children from the dissemination of propaganda from the POTUS.

"Brainwashed by the NEA
September 3, 2009 - 22:57 ET by RR GOP"Brainwashed by the NEA members"
Oh, come on...kids grew up in the '50s with their parents building bomb shelters and having to do "duck and cover" drills in school and that was long before the NEA, AFT, etc. were much of anything.
One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

September 3, 2009 - 20:58 ET by UnsaneEven governmental organizations can, on occasion, get it right.
Today it was announced that two of Bexar County's largest school districts: North Side Independent School District and the crappy, overpriced North East Independent School District will NOT be showing His Majesty The Shahinshah speaking to America's schoolchildren about their obligations to help and support Him.
