Lincoln is credited with saying that the philosophy of the classroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.  Likewise, totalitarian movements such as Nazism and Communism expended considerable resources on efforts designed to sway the youth of their respective countries into embracing ideologies inimical to the self interest of the student.

Speaking a couple years ago about technology and education, Apple CEO and founder Steve Jobs said that technology wouldn’t matter as long as you can’t fire teachers.

All across the country there were demonstrations on March 4 by students (and some faculty) against cuts in higher education funding, but inevitably attention focused on California, where the modern genre originated in 1964. I joined the University of California faculty in 1966 and so have watched a good many of them, but have never seen one less impressive that this year’s. In 1964 there was focus and clarity. This one was brain-dead. The former idealism and sense of purpose had degenerated into a self-serving demand for more money at a time when both state and university are broke, and one in eight California workers is unemployed. The elite intellectuals of the university community might have been expected to offer us insight into how this problem arose, and realistic measures for dealing with it. But all that was on offer was this: get more money and give it to us. Californians witnessing this must have wondered whether the money they were already providing was well spent where there was so little evidence of productive thought.

It runs the gamut of Administrators, School Boards, Professors and Teachers.

Revising History to Favor Socialism and Marxism - Another leftist plot is afoot here, in North Carolina, to reinforce the ignorance of our young students of their history, their heritage, and their REAL American culture. And this is not the first time the left has tried this move in North Carolina.  We urge you to go to NCSOUTH’s blog site and read the entire article there.  This is a must read!(1)

In Germany and California the secular, socialist political state is attempting to crush parents who teach Judeo-Christian moral principles to their children.

Jennings accused of promoting ‘explicit and vile sexual content’ - Demand for the removal of homosexual advocate Kevin Jennings from his position as chief of the Department of Education’s Office of Safe Schools is growing, with the Washington Post saying the appointment was wrong and thousands joining a petition.

Student: ‘I felt humiliated and that my spirituality was being demeaned’ - A student says a Dallas public community-college teacher compared crosses to swastikas while explaining a school ban on religious items made in ceramics classes.

’Sex acts between preschoolers’ among subjects of books touted by openly ‘gay’ Obama adviser - A new report is raising alarms that the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network, a homosexual advocacy organization founded by Kevin Jennings, now head of the U.S. Office of Safe Schools for the Obama administration, is recommending XXX-rated sex writings for children as young as preschoolers.

Fifty-three Republican congressmen yesterday demanded that President Obama fire his embattled “safe schools czar,” Kevin Jennings. Mr. Jennings’ bizarre sexual agenda for American grade schools is one reason the president should dump this dangerous radical.

As each day passes more and more evidence is coming to light.

If Virtue & Knowledge are diffused among the People, they will never be enslav’d. This will be their great Security. - Samuel Adams February 12, 1779 - The importance of government-controlled education is understood and exploited to the greatest degree by the totalitarian states. Through the vehicles of mandatory attendance and monopoly control over curriculum, the totalitarian state see’s public schools as the means to mold the population into a harmonious collective will obedient to the dictates of those possess absolute political authority. Without question we have witnessed this in our public school systems with the over abundance of teachers and administrators that lean liberal.

Those people who promote a strong and inclusive - shall we say, intrusive - Federal Government miss few opportunities.  The most recent among the dramatically obvious incursions, if perhaps a rather harmless one, is President Barack Hussein Obama’s speech from an Arlington County, Virginia public high school to every public school in the Nation except those numerous schools which did not broadcast the talk, forbade attendance or made attendance optional.

Can “Obama Youth” Be far Behind? - “Give me the children, I will give you a nation.” “When an opponent declares ‘I will not come over to your side’, I calmly say ‘your child belongs to us already. What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.” - Adolph Hitler (1939)

Following widespread concern about President Obama’s nationally televised address to schoolchildren, many parents and schools are opting to forgo the Sept. 8 speech.
