Indoctrination Of ‘Obama Youth’ In Schools AcceleratesCIVICS NEWS Comment: As a Civics teacher, I will not be opening my classroom to this. I'd rather ask students, "why is it important to QUESTION the president and everything including myself?"
Pointing out the insidious nature of Obama's planned address to America's youth, Neal McCluskey (associate director of Cato Institute’s Center for Educational Freedom) said, “It essentially tries to force kids to say the president and the presidency is inspiring, and that’s very problematic.”
Should it be a "given" that a war-mongering, Constitution-violating, property-stealing individual such as Bush or Obama represents the height of inspiring achievement to which young people ought to aspire? Shouldn't this assumption be challenged?
Indeed, the cult of personality surrounding Obama in public schools is chilling to say the least.
President’s speech is only one component of brainwashing activities that have been ongoing for the last year

Despite efforts to portray next week’s event as merely the President giving a speech to students, the full scope of what some education experts are decrying as part of an indoctrination program represents an advancement of the creepy, Orwellian, cult of personality-style worship of Obama and servitude to government being pushed in schools throughout America.
President Obama is set to address students directly on Tuesday with a speech that will be streamed live on the White House website in what the government claims is a move designed to encourage kids to stay in school.
However, the speech is to be accompanied by lesson plans issued by the Department of Education which instruct teachers to ask children “Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials.”
The children are also asked to consider, “What is the President trying to tell me?,” “What is the President asking me to do?,” and “What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?”
Children were also asked to write letters about what they can do to help the President, but this section has since been amended following an outcry. [...]
Over the past year there have been several examples, documented by way of You Tube videos, that show school children being directed to pledge allegiances, perform military style drills, or write and sing songs in honor of Obama. Though establishment talking heads are often aghast at people who invoke historical dictators in criticizing Obama, some of the scenes that have come out of American schools do closely resemble the kind of idol worship that school children were ordered to perform in Maoist China or Nazi Germany.
The videos below should seriously disturb the reader and offer a warning as to where the idolatry of Obama and his government could lead if left unchecked. The Orwellian nature of what is going on in American schools should at least send a shiver down the spine of all those who are aware of what has happened historically when leaders carefully groom a cult of personality and create a generation of mindless sycophantic followers who are unaware they are pledging allegiance to a dictator.
This creepy cult-like video showing celebrities pledging their “service” to the Obama government’s global warming agenda is being shown in Utah schools.
This now infamous “Obama Youth” video shows students at a middle school in Missouri performing a military style drill while chanting slogans about Obama’s policies.
Disinterested-looking children forced to compose and sing a song in Obama’s honor.
A creepy video of young children in Illinois singing a Maoist-style homage to Obama’s government, chanting “Yes We Can.” A shockingly accurate comparison with the Hitler Youth is made at the end of the clip.

Great post. I too made a similar post, but you have more videos then I do. I will add a link to this on my site.
ReplyDeleteSend the kids or don’t send them…either way, they will find out what was said…with the media and people talking, it will get out…
ReplyDeleteWe talked about this on Facebook and believe it or not; I'm okay with our president talking to our children. If I'm going to let you talk to my children (I don't mean you personally, I happen to like you, actually) but teachers in general - and I have three in public school in addition to three in the WCSS system... why would I oppose the President of the United States talking to my children.
ReplyDeleteIt's a win-win situation. I don't have a choice to send my children to school, other than home school them; and just like the other instruction they receive, Obama may say things that I (as an educated, responsible parent) must counter. It creates the perfect opportunity to speak with my children about politics, policy, morals, and ethics.
This opportunity pits my opinion (an opinion coming from a trusted source for my children) against a stranger, albeit the president. Typically, most children have an opinion about the president already, based on their home environment as it is - this opportunity actually bolsters my chances to debate and counter everything wrong or incorrect the president has to say, while agreeing with him on issues where he is correct.
On the other hand - I DISAGREE 100% that the federal government is involved with education! Education is a STATE ISSUE, to be handled at a state level, based on state funding, state laws, and state policy. This is another form of UNLIMITED federal government and my biggest complaint.
Just think - if Abe Lincoln was never allowed to speak, you'd never be able to argue against what he said. (Assuming that you do....)
Interesting thoughts, H. I agree that a responsible parent would do as you do. But with most parents being quite the opposite, I can't stand that the state is raising our kids. Even though he's saying good things, it's not his place. The Constitution instructs the president to address the Congress in the "state of the union address", but not the children. I'm against it because it's unconstitutional. And it's creepy, too. But I don't have a big disagreement with you here...for your own family, you don't have a problem with it. I want the president to speak, but not to intrude into state and local government jurisdictions. This would be like if Obama came to the state legislatures to speak. It would come off as him bossing around the states as if the states are subordinates of the federal government as opposed to sovereign entities (with sovereignty over all matters not enumerated in A1Sec8). Anyway, good thoughts; thanks for sharing; it's been a while since I've heard from you.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the nice comment about how you like me. =) I thought for a while that you were "sick of" me. ;)
FYI, I'm still "sick of" much of "this"... but I like you.
ReplyDeleteKeep sharing, and if time permits you'll hear from me - school started for me too, so I've been busy as well. Hope all went well with the move and the wife!
