In example, two days ago-March 4, 2010-was actually something called The National Day of Action to Defend Education. Have you ever heard of it? If you truly care about the kids in our society-who will one day be our leaders-you should have. In short, you should care because the number of socialist/communist/anti-American groups who actually sponsored that day (and the ensuing indoctrination piped into the classrooms of kids) was staggering to say the least! A few were: the Students for a Democratic Society (domestic terrorist Bill Ayers came from it), La Raza (anti-American racists), and the Socialist Party USA to name a few!
As if that wasn't rank enough, Beck quickly pivoted to stunning audiotape of none other than Al "Global Warming" Gore indoctrinating a captive audience of school kids not to listen to or obey their own parents! His reasoning? Because, apparently, sometimes kids know more than their parents...that's why. That was merely the precursor to something really shocking: Obama's campaign had a video on their website during the campaign that encouraged kids to rebelliously disobey their own parents because, again, they apparently had more political knowledge than their parents. Clearly, this should be read as a cynical attempt by the Obama camp, back then, to motivate impressionable kids to persuade their own parents with liberal propaganda that people like Gore and Obama had put in their minds in the first place.
Buttressing his argument that Marxist, social justice groups were involved in that scam "defend-education" day from two days ago, Beck convincingly turned to some posters made up to promote said day. The slogans in these posters all harkened back to Nazi-style, communist-style propaganda from the 30s and 40s. In example, one poster read, "Students and workers unite!" This is clearly a close resemblance to the Communist slogan of "Workers of the world, unite" by Karl Marx. Referencing yet another propaganda piece by tying it into the event, Beck cited a video produced by an apparently big-time Obama supporter whom he identified only as "Eric." This Obama-supporting progressive produced absolutely distressing videos because in said videos, he used kids as political props. For instance, in one video, a voiceover says that kids today "are fed up with partisan politics," as a 13-year-old girl is shown on the screen! Seriously, how can a 13-year-old be fed up by partisan politics when she's likely preoccupied with Playstation 3? When she likely doesn't know anything about politics? Clearly, since that statement sounded like it came from the mouths of partisan Democrats and their socialist allies like George Soros, it was likely planted in the kids' mouths.
Beck began to close out the show by issuing a clarion call, essentially, for the immediate end to school-indoctrination of kids and, instead, called on parents to teach their kids both sides of the issues and the tools needed to make smart decisions about each issue. With the public school grip on kids' minds being as harsh as it is, this is not likely to happen soon, but that didn't stop Beck. He even went so far as to emphatically make his point by quoting a Bible verse-Malachi, Chapter 4, Verse 6 in fact-to stress that it is pure evil what these liberals and progressives are doing. What they're doing is, of course, turning the kids against their parents by indoctrinating their little heads with destabilizing ideas like kids know better than their parents!

Post a CommentI believe every system of education is indoctrination, whether it's public, private, religious, secular, homeschool, etc--at least as far as teaching a belief or ideology. Not all systems try to prevent independent thought, but they all pass along certain values. Parents have to think carefully about which values they want passed along to their kids, and the choice of education has a part in that process.
Well, Marc, you know I don't disagree with you, so sorry! This article was wonderful and scary. Thankfully my two intelligent daughters, have brains and are capable of disagreeing. And they can disagree with me if their politics someday change. At 11 and 9, though, they stood up to their teachers when the school's Channel 1 showed too much about democrats. They asked where the conservative side was. Granted, that didn't make them popular with their teachers, but showed they are smart and interested. We don't sugar coat in our house. We teach based on what is out there. So glad you write.
I'm just going to back up Marc on this one. I've noticed people's comments being deleted on some of my articles as well, and they were ones that actually agreed with me. I don't know how AC picks and chooses whose comments they delete, but it DOES happen. For the record, I've never deleted comments, period.
Marc - I think this is an issue that clearly needs to be addressed. I think most teachers are professional and present the issues - but there are those that do have a political agenda. I have been surprised more than once over the years when my kids have come home with revisionist garbage. Thanks for writing the article.
This is a note just to clear the record, directed at Patricia Sicilia. Patricia, sweetie, I did not delete your lone comment from yesterday where you were indeed the only dissenter over my article. In fact, I myself wrote a comment on this very comment thread, but earlier than yours. Guess what? It was deleted also...so does that mean I myself am deleting my own comments now...to suppress my own voice? No, for whatever reason, AC deletes some comments (harmless as they are), and other people like you have complained to me about the same thing (though they've been more tactful than you, missy!). So since you were wrong and I didn't delete your comment--I would never, ever do such a thing as I invite all kinds of comments since it's more fun that way--I'm waiting for my apology, missy! Oh, and do continue reading and commenting on my articles...it makes for more interesting reading to have the comments of libs who disagree always.
I've been a public school teacher and dislike it when other teachers seem to have a personal agenda, whether I agree with their views or not. It worries me since my daughter will be going to school in a few years. Great article.
Marc, Great article - I believe that public school teachers should teach ONLY the basic's. Their personal, political and religious views are not for the classroom. The only protection from them is homeschooling. My father once told me, "you do what I say, not what those teachers tell you." He was refering to a personal view a teacher had that he did not agree with, and this occured in the 1950's.
I'm glad this made it to the most commented list, otherwise I would have missed it. My boys, in school in the 80's and 9's were indoctrinated on the "don't mention God" junk, but I was able to counteract that, I hope. But in college the revisionist history and liberal thinking took them over. I'm hoping that as someone here said, they'll begin to look at both sides as they mature. Important articles you write!
And Glenn Beck indoctrinates his viewers. LOL! Seriously, why is it necessary to demonize the other side of the culture war as evil? I grew up in a conservative area and these views were reflected in my schooling. Were my teachers evil because they were indoctrinating me to follow a conservative agenda? Or is it only evil when the other side is doing the so-called indoctrinating?
BTW, you should take lessons from Snidely. I disagree with 980% of what he says, but we manage to have intelligent dialogues about it, usually agreeing to disagree, and a friendly relationship.
