WH Backing Away from Obama Youth Indoctrination Attempt

[Single Dad]

It is great to hear that this indoctrination message has been at least mostly quashed. I assure you that it will be sent around in email from libturd organizations in the future. I personally took action in my daughters education when this ghastly indoctrination video came up. I contacted my local school superintendent and brought my concerns to his attention. I also emailed him a copy of the video and also a few other previous Obama indoctrination videos which so many of us have previously viewed.

After reviewing the information I sent in he expressed a great concern over the content of the videos. He assured my that he would be instructing all of the schools in our disctrict that no such videos are ever to be shown to students in our district. I am very happy that I was able to help prevent thousands of kids from such indoctrination. I also pray that at a national level this kind of crap can be quashed in the future as well.

TAKE ACTION! - DON'T LET THEM GET TO YOUR KIDS!

White House Withdraws Call for Students to 'Help' Obama

President Obama's plan to speak to the nation's schoolchildren in a video address next week erupted into controversy as critics claimed he was trying to indoctrinate America's kids.

The Obama administration is rethinking its course recommendations for students ahead of President Obama's address to the the nation's schoolchildren next week, rewriting its suggestions to teachers for student assignments on how to "help the president."

White House aides said the language was supposed to be a inspirational, pro-education message to America's youths, but its unintended consequences were evident.

-----------------------

Caught with his hand in the cookie jar, Obama admits he was attempting to use youth to assist him and starts to walk away slowly.

The very first thing on our "to Do" list when we win it all back is to fire all the Czars and Close the Department of Indoctrinatization (aka" Dept of Education). Education is up to the parents through the states and communities, not the Fed

I truly hope that this is the 'straw that broke the camel's back,' as they say, but I fear that it is too late to worry about indocrination, as the left has dutifully followed a generations-long plan that has born the fruit that they expected: the Obama Administration.

Not to mix too many metaphors, but this address to our children is merely the icing on the cake.

1. "But the dissolution of the belief in the work ethic began with the cultural protests of the 1960s, which questioned and discarded many traditional American virtues. The roots of this breakup lay in what Daniel Bell described in The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism as the rejection of traditional bourgeois qualities by late-nineteenth-century European artists and intellectuals who sought “to substitute for religion or morality an aesthetic justification of life.”

2. "University education departments began to tell future grammar school teachers that they should replace the traditional teacher-centered curriculum, aimed at producing educated citizens who embraced a common American ethic, with a new, child-centered approach that treats every pupil’s “personal development” as different and special. During the 1960s, when intellectuals and college students dismissed traditional American values as oppressive barriers to fulfillment, grammar schools generally jettisoned the traditional curriculum. “Education professors eagerly joined New Left professors to promote the idea that any top-down imposition of any curriculum would be a right-wing plot designed to perpetuate the dominant white, male, bourgeois power structure,” writes education reformer E. D. Hirsch, Jr., in his forthcoming The Making of Americans: Democracy and Our Schools."

3. "The new “every child is special” curriculum prompted a sharp uptick in students’ self-absorption, according to psychologists Jean M. Twenge and W. Keith Campbell in The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement. What resulted was a series of increasingly self-centered generations of young people displaying progressively more narcissistic personality traits..."
Whatever Happened to the Work Ethic? by Steven Malanga, City Journal Summer 2009

4. "At a recent meeting of the New York Teaching Fellows program (“Teach for America”: provides an alternate route to state certification for about 1,700 new teachers annually) , Sol Stern found the one book that the fellows had to read in full was Pedagogy of the Oppressed, by the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire.
This book has achieved near-iconic status in America’s teacher-training programs...that Pedagogy of the Oppressed was one of the most frequently assigned texts in their philosophy of education courses.... This ed-school bestseller is, instead, a utopian political tract calling for the overthrow of capitalist hegemony and the creation of classless societies."

5."The pedagogical point of Freire’s thesis : its opposition to taxing students with any actual academic content, which Freire derides as “official knowledge” that serves to rationalize inequality within capitalist society.. Freire’s rejection of teaching content knowledge seemed to buttress what was already the ed schools’ most popular theory of learning, which argued that students should work collaboratively in constructing their own knowledge and that the teacher should be a “guide on the side,” not a “sage on the stage.”

6."The impetus for this kind of thinking came from the veterans of the student-protest and antiwar movements of the 60’s, who put down their placards and began their “long march through the institutions,” earning Ph.D.s and joining humanities departments. Once in the academy, the leftists couldn’t resist incorporating their radical politics (whether Marxist, feminist, or racialist) into their teaching. Celebrating Freire as a major thinker gave them a powerful way to do so. "
Pedagogy of the Oppressor by Sol Stern, City Journal Spring 2009

This is the 'bed' we have made for the children growing up in the public schools.

Why fear proselytizing by President Obama, in a one hour lecture, when we have ignored the last 50 years of dissolution in public education?

Fantastic post - and right on the mark regarding the state of "education".

Schools have been completely agendized - and the anti-American slant of this agenda is shocking - and dangerous.

Obama is the first american president to be an entire product of this agendized education system. I fear he won't be the last...

I'm pleased to see so many pushing back!

In full disclosure, I homeschool my children. We use a very structured and wide-ranging curriculum called K12.

Best of luck.

Wow! A president who cares about children and education. How dare he? Damn that man!

You really don't understand: that's not what he cares about.

It is almost a waste of time to explain it.

They are 99% dishonest.

You have no idea what he cares about.

What democratic?

You are flaming moonbat liberals.

Compared to JFK's democrats, you are unrecognizable.

The whole attempt by progressives in school is to get people to think for themselves.
When you think some piece of writing should not be taught to prospective teachers then you think they can not think for themselves.

You fear education and distrust human beings. Unless of course they already think like you do then its fine huh?

______________

You are sadly mistaken.

Group-think is the goal of progressives in education.

I battled it for years - first hand, and came away bruised and bloodied for it...

1. Respect yourself
2. Respect your teachers
3. Stay in school
4. Set goals for yourself
5. Work hard and study


What horrendous liberal concepts!
No wonder the right wing is fighting this so hard

6. Support the Messiah

The philosopher Plato believed that two of the most important questions that a society needed to address were: (1) what will society teach its children and (2) who will do the teaching.

I hope that you will have the time to read the two articles in post #9 above.

(1) what will society teach its children

I think that society needs to teach its children reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, language, art, music, vocational studies, physical education, and how to have a satisfying and fulfilling gay sex life.

(2) who will do the teaching.

The teaching will be performed by teachers who are members of the community and are payed for by the school district. These individuals are not federal or state employees.

Is this problematic to anyone?

While in high school my son's girlfriend had a government teacher that would allow nothing but Pro Bush posters in her room.

Any child who expressed anything questioning Bush was treated like trash.

That is what you would think was being a perfect education experience.

See how pissed off the libturds get when their Messiah's indoctrination attempts get zoinked? Look at their hate filled, scripted postings accusing conservatives who don't want their kids indoctrinated as being "against education" or "racist" et al.

When the libturds flail and cry you know you are doing the right thing. I celebrate the libturd pain and wish them more in the future.

In your face libturds!

I try to make a distinction between the true believers and those who lean left, or have been misled.

I think that only about one in five of those who originally supported President Obama are true believers and we should try to de-program the other 80%.

Look at the polls of independents and moderates, and you will see that there is hope.

Outrageous when that happens on either side.

But, you do realize that that situation occurs probably one hundred more times in the other direction, based on the overwhelmingly liberal perspective of liberal teachers to right-wing.

So, if you are claiming that the experience that you relate is the reason for your support of left-wing preferences, it cannot be true.

Yeah...

You would think that with one of the most liberal people in American politics as President, large majorities in the house and senate, that libs would be happy.

If anything, they are even more angry. Makes no sense at all.

And now that the good ship SS Marxist has been exposed and independants and real democrats (not the moonbat libs) are very concerned, it's only going to get worse. Libs will be even more shrill from here on out.
