The Dumbing Down Of America One Classroom At A Time

Diantha Harris: It’s a senseless war! [Stares at Kathy.] And by the way, Kathy, the person that you’re picking for president said [Harris shakes her head] that our troops could stay in Iraq for another hundred years if they need to! [Kathy bites her lip, looks ashamed. Other kids stare at Kathy, laugh, smirk.] So that means that your daddy could stay in the military for another hundred years!

[Kathy is on verge of tears.]

[In an interview later:]

Diantha Harris: Now I can support whomever I want to support, as long as I don’t browbeat another person for the candidate that they supported. Like I have some students that support John McCain, and when they told me that, I said ah … “that’s good’ and I just moved on. So, I think that everybody is entitled to their own personal opinion.

AP:

All that, plus a lesson on the war’s senselessness aimed squarely at a kid whose dad’s in the service.

    Can anyone say indoctrination? I suppose it’s just one more example of what you get with the public funded school system. Vouchers anyone?? :-w

    You do know why a lot of people go into teaching don’t you? They’re too incompetent at anything else to make a living at it and know that once they get tenure they’ll be able to screw off for life and not face any consequences. We have ENGLISH teachers here in Phoenix who are not fluent in English themselves. Yet they have an education degree from a university department of education. What does that tell you about the quality of professors of education in this country? Oh wait, that would include Bill Ayers. BTW one of his books has been made mandatory reading for first year education students attending ASU.

    The indoctrination of our children by the government monopoly of schools will only worsen unless we Americans cry bloody murder! The following is from theapple.com website:

    “Obama and Biden have big plans for what they call “Zero to Five.” This plan focuses on children from birth to five years of age and their parents. It supports early education and universal pre-school. They want to quadruple Early Head Start funding. Their efforts for this age group will be closely tied to their efforts to provide quality health care for this young age group. Obama’s health care program may make the funding for these early childhood programs difficult to carry out in the scope that they’ve planned.”

    Remember…The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world…

    No doubt the activists and Leftists, and Obama will support it, want to start the indoctrination at age two. Perhaps newborn babies should be shown images of homosexuals as soon as they are born?

    Just hearing how poorly that teacher can speak the English language is enough reason to pull her out of a classroom!  No wonder children can no longer pass minimum educational requirements.  They have no one to teach the material to them.  Let’s remove all these incompetents like Reagan did with the air traffic controllers.  I think the children would get a better education sitting in a room alone reading antique children’s classics.
