And we wonder why so many young people are growing up to be mindless drones of Marxist propaganda?
It’s not surprising when we realize how much overt (and how much subtle) indoctrination they receive from elitists in the public education system.
In this clip below, we have an interview with Kyle Olson, founder of the Education Action Group Foundation and author of Indoctrination: How ‘Useful Idiots’ Are Using Our Schools to Subvert American Exceptionalism.
In this interview we learn about students being taken to Leftist protests like those in Madison last winter, and the Occupy Wall Street tantrums against freedom this fall. Children are being misled into believing that these public temper tantrums in pursuit of other people’s earnings are akin to the civil rights movement to gain freedom for an institutionally oppressed minority.
Another teacher had students write letters to the school board opposing cuts in the education budget (that likely only cut largess and union benefits).
Education in America used to be about teaching children the facts, common sense, and virtue. The founders recognized how incredibly important to the maintenance of freedom and a healthy republic these things were.
Over the last century, however, we have failed to be vigilant and have allowed “progressive” Marxists to take over the education system and turn it into an indoctrination system that deliberately subvert learning of the facts, common sense and virtue.
Thankfully, my wife and I homeschool our children. However, they are growing up in a world where the vast majority of parents are sending their children off to public indoctrination centers, with no thought to what dark and subversive things they may be learning there. Meanwhile, our republic is being destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Isn’t it time we the people said “ENOUGH” and demanded a good product for our money with the education system…or took our patronage elsewhere?
Religion is the only solid base of morals and that morals are the only possible support of free governments. Therefore education should teach the precepts of religion and the duties of man toward God. – Gouverneur Morris, signer of the Constitution
It should be your care, therefore, and mine, to elevate the minds of our children and exalt their courage; to accelerate and animate their industry and activity; to excite in them an habitual contempt of meanness, abhorrence of injustice and inhumanity, and an ambition to excel in every capacity, faculty, and virtue. If we suffer their minds to grovel and creep in infancy, they will grovel all their lives. – John Adams
History will also afford the frequent opportunities of showing the necessity of a public religion, from its usefulness to the public; the advantage of a religious character among private persons; the mischiefs of superstition, and the excellency of the Christian religion above all others, ancient or modern. – Benjamin Franklin
Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. – George Washington
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. – Thomas Jefferson
In contemplating the political institutions of the United States, I lament that we waste so much time and money in punishing crimes, and take so little pains to prevent them. We profess to be republicans and yet we neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government. That is, the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity by the means of the Bible. – Benjamin Rush, doctor and signer of the Declaration of Independence
The safety of a republic depends essentially on the energy of a common national sentiment; on a uniformity of principles and habits; on the exemption of the citizens from foreign bias, and prejudice; and on that love of country which will almost invariably be found to be closely connected with birth, education, and family. – Alexander Hamilton
Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right, from the frame of their nature, to knowledge, as their great Creator, who does nothing in vain, has given them understandings, and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge; I mean, of the characters and conduct of their rulers. – John Adams
No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and Virtue is preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders. – Samuel Adams
It would not seem practical to teach either practice or appreciation of the arts if we are to forbid exposure of youth to any religious influences. Music without sacred music would be incomplete, even from a secular point of view. – Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson in McCollum v. Board of Education, 1948
Without religion, I believe that learning does real mischief to the morals and principles of mankind. – Benjamin Rush / letter to John Armstrong March 19, 1783

What do you have when you have a theory that is contradicted by observed scientific law? For one thing, you don't have much in the way of a viable scientific law.
Those words written in the early years of the 19th century by Sir Walter Scott referred to his story of a love triangle with all of the intrigue that ensued. But it could equally represent the corruption and deception rife within the Obama Administration, within the State Department, in the IRS and among far too many of the personnel and bureaucrats existing in an ever growing BIG government. But the big question remains why the State Department and the White House have spun such a web of lies over Benghazi.
So, how long will this system of floating money, fiat currency, and systemic debt last? None of us gets to live in the world we grew up in because the world moves too fast. Things change. What was science fiction yesterday is your cell phone today. One thing we can know for sure is that it isn’t over till it’s over. Yet from a realistic evaluation of the deep hole we have spent ourselves into the future isn’t what it used to be and if the world were perfect it wouldn’t be.
States started with a sales tax. Then they added a use tax to collect revenue that escapes the sales tax. Now the Senate has passed the Marketplace Fairness Act (MFA) to force companies in other states to collect the tax. Few individuals comply with the use tax, and where everyone is guilty, no one is guilty.
The only thing this Obama White House seems to generate is scandal. Well, here’s yet another to add to the growing list. In addition to the Benghazi cover-up, IRS targeting of political dissenters and the illegal seizure of media phone records, whistleblowers within DOJ have contacted Liberty Counsel to express grave concerns over this administration’s latest attack on freedom. Our sources have provided Liberty Counsel an internal DOJ document titled: “LGBT Inclusion at Work: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Managers.”

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
