Teach Zero about the Constitution?

the kids gotta sit inside class and watch the Obama video…

suffer the children….he’s pushing Disney out of the classroom now

There’s a sign outside his classroom door that says. “No Nuts Allowed”.

it’s fine the problem is Republicans are making to much of this. I submit to you that if President George Bush for one second thought of addressing kids in school to help him….the lefts heads would have EXPLODED. I personally wouldn’t have wanted him and nor do I want Obama or the freaking Rev Gore indoctrinating our youth while they MUST sit and participate. It is sickening and if we don’t stop this progressive push that encapsulates our beautiful children in its path we will SUFFER for too many years to think about.

I am so very disturbed by the fact that these leftists have always been there but their power had been maintained at the lower tiers of government but now they have ALL of the levers of power and I am unsure if we can stop them. It is true that elections have consequences and anyone who voted for Obama will NEVER be allowed in my presence. They have set the progressive movement ahead 20 yrs with that vote and they should hang their heads in shame. In this beautiful country where FREEDOM has reigned for over 200 years to watch it dissipate so quickly is heart-breaking.

Whoever has his enemy at his mercy &
does not destroy him is his own enemy

or… Have them do the materials in advance about How Bush….. finish the rest of each ObamaYouth Assignment was/is supposed to go and send them in with that so the Skool’s collective (word chosen appropropriately for double meaning/effect lol) heads explode.

If you don’t mind, we’d love it if you’d share the absentee letter you write and send with your children the following morning.

This is the real reason dems are against vouchers. I have to pay more to send my child to a private school because my right to define my child’s education in traditional academic standars and culture is being undermined. Marxism and facism used children to reinforce it’s ideology of control through brainwashing. It’s what the homosexuality lobby is now doing with the blessings of our gov’t.

I had just sent my 5th grader an e-mail saying I would prefer that my child read the Declaration of Independence in lieu of watching Obama. The school must have been swamped with complaints today. Here is what they just sent: (We are in Texas)

The US Department of Education sent a letter to all school districts on August 25 announcing a presidential address to school children on Tuesday, September 8. The topic of this public broadcast is the importance of education. To clarify questions and concerns about this presidential address, Plano ISD notes the following:

This event is not a component of the Plano ISD curriculum and is therefore not a mandatory activity.

Viewing the broadcast is not a planned classroom activity for September 8.

Like many historical events, Plano ISD will have this video available for students and teachers via the digital video library.

Found this on Drudge - shown to an elementary school in Utah. I Pledge to Obama. Starts out subtle than hits you over the head with a hammer. Most egregious - pledges from celebs at least three times to end slavery (huh?) then pledges to be a servant to the President.

I live in Florida so it is not the first day of school for my 5-year-old and 13-year-old and they will be enjoying a 4 day weekend along with any like-minded friends that need a place to go for the day.

Please stop calling these schools “public” schools. They are GOVERNMENT schools. We should start calling them what they truly are.

I urge you to do whatever it takes - ditch the dish, downsize your home, trade the BMW - figure out a way to get your children out of government schools. If you want to home school then do it, otherwise get them into something that is inline with your values and out of the government brainwashing program. Forget that you’re paying for school twice - we have to address that later. Now is the time to get them out. Act now - don’t wait. Your children (and your grandchildren) and the country will be better off.

• Teachers may engage students in short readings. Teachers may post in large print around the classroom notable quotes excerpted from President Obama’s speeches on education. Teachers might ask students to think alone, compare ideas with a partner, or share their thoughts with the class. Teachers could ask students to think about the following:
What are our interpretations of these excerpts?
Based on these excerpts, what can we infer that the president believes is important in order to be educationally successful?

I really like how they get to stare at Obama quotes all around the classroom, probably the rest of the school year. Most will be voting age in 2012.

No doubt this’ll be followed by chanting “O-bam-uhh” repeatedly.

Here’s where you can read for yourself as a .pdf download what the school day will bring;

Grades 7-12

Note to lefties;

Apparently a large slice of the population has no historical perspective, and therefore no idea where a cult of personality can lead.

In Free America, we pledge allegiance to the flag and to the republic for which it stands, not to our employee in the White House.

And the rest of those we hire to run the government swear to defend and protect the Constitution, not their Dear Leader.

For now, anyway.

by a qualified psychiatrist along with axlerod, rahm the vulgar, reid, pelosi, schummmmmer, dodd, rangel and kerry. I think they have all lossed it and need to be held for a 6 month evaluation on whether they need long tern confinement to help their mental problems.

… they took the third grade play on “tour” to all the other classrooms. This global warming hysteria wasn’t just one teacher.

won’t be doing that day…

…inform the folks at ED.gov about the spellcheck feature available in most word processing software. I took a screenshot of this page (linked on Drudge’s page): http://www.ed.gov/news/events/advisory.html and added the “red” items to highlight the faux pas. See my Flickr page:

There’s one thing we all know, the Koolaide(TM) drinkers will not waste a prime situation to proselytize anything Obama. Maybe we can use this moment to find out which of our teachers are politicizing our classrooms and shut those educators down for good.

I just think a boycott would waste a prime opportunity here. Send your kids there with portable recording devices, or the parents can request to attend as an observer to make sure there is no cheerleading for the President’s agenda.

Schools generally have a policy that allows parents to visit the classrooms of their children, as long as the parent(s) keep quiet. Imagine the discomfiture of the teachers trying to carry out these obvious propaganda ploys in the (silent, accusatory) presence of adults who are not susceptible to such ridiculousness.

Because Obama is backtracking from his planned Public School message on September 8?

http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/sep/02/wh-withdraws-call-students-help-obama/

Or: Michelle Malkin and this diary have succeeded so much in guessing the real motives of the WH since Obama’s so unsure (and afraid?) and is now backpedalling?

I bet for the latter.

He would have just gave his speech like a PSA and NO paperwork would be involved. This indoctrinator went the extra step to give the dept of Education the “tools” to indoctrinate the children and he was the one who changed the wording. He can change the wording all day long the bottom line this Won and his radical friends know that the way forward is to radicalize the children and what a better way then FORCING it in children who cannot change what they are FORCED to watch. The dept of Education did the same thing with the Rev Gore’s piece of propaganda and it wasn’t until AFTER it was shown that the level of anger rose in parents. We have them before it happens and we have effected some changes to the wording but the indoctrination goes on anyway!

Keep your children home REFUSE to participate in this POLITICAL PROPAGANDA!

Whoever has his enemy at his mercy &
does not destroy him is his own enemy

but those lesson plans are just education-ese and the fad of the day for anything they do in the classroom. It’s really dumb. If we looked at other things they teach you would see the same type of things for everything. Again I’m not defending it, I’m all for doing whatever you can to get kids out of the public schools, I’m just saying those type of activities and wording in lesson plans are a part of everything they do in the classroom.
One thing this can do highlight what kind of bad teaching methods (if you want to call it teaching) and stuff (all the focus on how kids feel vs learning academic things) they they use on the kids, not just this speech.

The cultism continues to spread, and the ego expands… Children, help the President! Help the President! The recommended pre-address work for the classroom includes “read books about the presidents or Barack Obama.” In my day, the message was about “what you ca do for your country….” not what you can do for a particular president. This is SCARY.

that most conservatives are up in arms at letting their kids listen to a propaganda speech by Obama in class, but have no qualms letting their kids sit for the the next 6-7 hours for the next 180 days in a sytem that indoctrinates their kids in Marxist theology.

Get out of the public education system!

,,and them tell me it isn’t propaganda:

Supposedly Obama’s speech is about success and academics, but…..

The supporting study documentation originally sent out to teachers contains these words followed by the number of times used in the documentation:

Success, Succeeding, Succeed – 0 (zero)
Persist, Persisting, Persistence – 0 (zero)
Academic, Academics – 0 (zero)
Education – 2 times (plus once used in Dept of Education!)

But the following do appear, some numerous times:

President or Obama – 18 times
Do (in the sense of “doing” something - activism?) – 8 times
Community – 3 times
Duty – 1 time
Civic – 1 time

Score?

Community and “duty” Propaganda/Obama personality worship – 31
Education and Success – 2

They will all attend school that day.

My 17-year-old will listen and interact with the other kids. He has a lot of political savvy, and will be there to refute their standard talking points.

My 16-year-old daughter will attend school that day, but had her mother write a note to excuse her from watching the speech.

My 14-year-old goes back and forth between wanting to refuse on his own or watching and engaging his classmates afterwards.

I can certainly understand parents of younger, more impressionable children wanting to keep them home for the day.

Our school system has cancelled the speech - amid law suits being filed by parents:

As many of you may already know, President Barack Obama is broadcasting an address to students online next Tuesday, September 8, at noon. The district has attempted to take a neutral position regarding the broadcasting of the address in school by offering students the option of viewing or not.

However, since yesterday we have received significant feedback from our school community regarding the broadcast in our schools. We also have just learned that the address will be available on C-Span for recording, as well as posted on the White House Web site (www.whitehouse.gov) for viewing at any time.

Parents will now be able to access and share the broadcast with their children at their own discretion. The district will not broadcast the President’s address in the schools on Tuesday. We hope this decision will address the concerns of all our parents and prevent the disruption of our students’ school day.

When you stay home for the day from gov’t school, the school loses $$$ which are based on headcount. So please $peak in the language they get.

Better yet … withdraw totally. Honestly, homeschooling is not as hard as you would think. Those who will tell you it is too hard are the ones who have a vested interest in maintaining the govt education monopoly.

Consider it an experiment in freedom! Bring your kids home and teach them what it means to be free. Teach them what you value (You WILL be teaching that you value T H E M enough to be home with them.)

Even if we don’t succeed in breaking the govt school stranglehold, at least you will have a few good years with your children before they are marched off to the mandatory obama-corps ‘volunteer’ camps.

to open his Tuesday speech with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag?

Let’s email our friends and media contacts and get this idea to the forefront, at least enough to attact some attention. If Obama gets wind of it, how could he refuse?
