Pure and Simple: The Government Wants Your Children; they No Longer Belong to You. Pay Attention Parents!

When an opponent declares, “I will not come over to your side,” I calmly say, “Your child belongs to us already… What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.”

Parents need to read and understand the principles of Communism and its 45 steps to power. The following was read into Congressional Record in 1963:

**Pay close attention to steps 17-20, 25-32 AND Steps 40 and 41**

For those unacquainted with Communism’s 45 Steps, I strongly advise that you study them. Many have already been accomplished. America has just elected a president who has more in common with communism than he does with America. If you love this country, fight to make sure Obama and his bots do not fulfill these steps. It is a fight too many of us are too late engaging in, but it ain’t over yet.

EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963

Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.

At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen:

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

**17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

**18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

**19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

**20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

**25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

**26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

**27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

**28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

**29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

**30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

**31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

**32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

**40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

**>>41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

================================

Reiterating #41 above: Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

Almost every speech from Obama speaks about improving our educational system.  The Department of Education was started by President Jimmy Carter.  We, as American taxpayers have literally thrown BILLIONS of dollars at the Federal Education System and what results/improvements have we seen?

From Whitehouse.gov Jimmy Carter

Carter could point to a number of achievements in domestic affairs. He dealt with the energy shortage by establishing a national energy policy and by decontrolling domestic petroleum prices to stimulate production. He prompted Government efficiency through civil service reform and proceeded with deregulation of the trucking and airline industries. He sought to improve the environment. His expansion of the national park system included protection of 103 million acres of Alaskan lands. To increase human and social services, he created the Department of Education, bolstered the Social Security system, and appointed record numbers of women, blacks, and Hispanics to Government jobs.

Pedagogy in education:

Experiential learning

  • Remember that while the traditional method of pedagogy involves a teacher and students, modern educational thought trends toward experiential and communal learning. Blurring the line between teacher and student empowers students to take control of their education and make their own discoveries. An experiential, community-based pedagogy may be the best thing for you and your classroom; simple changes, such as arranging the chairs in a circle and encouraging full participation, may enhance the educational experience.

BILL AYERS: THE LEFT MUST UTILIZE ITS ‘ABSOLUTE ACCESS’ TO AMERICA’S CLASSROOMS

December 21, 2012

Excerpt:

“If we want change to come, we would do well not to look at the sites of power we have no access to; the White House, the Congress, the Pentagon,” Ayers added. “We have absolute access to the community, the school, the neighborhood, the street, the classroom, the workplace, the shop, the farm.

“Why are we ignoring that and saying, ‘I hope Obama makes peace’?” he asked. “Forget about it. He’s not going to do anything if you don’t do something.”

==============================

From Discover the networks: The SPLC

the Montgomery, Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a self-identified “nonprofit civil-rights organization,” proceeds from the premise that the U.S. is a country “seething with racial violence” and “intolerance against those who are different.” “Hate in America is a dreadful, daily constant,” says SPLC, and violent crimes against members of minority groups like blacks, homosexuals, and Arabs/Muslims “are not isolated incidents,” but rather, “eruptions of a nation’s intolerance.” Vowing to combat the “hate and bigotry” directed against “the most vulnerable members of society,” SPLC rides to the rescue by “tracking and exposing” the activities of “hate groups and racial extremists throughout the United States.” The Center was founded in 1971 by two young Alabama lawyers, 35-year-old Morris Dees and 28-year-old Joseph Levin, Jr. The latter served as SPLC’s legal director from 1971-76, but it was Dees who would emerge as the long-term “face” of the organization.

Section titled Teaching Tolerance

One of SPLC’s most highly touted initiatives is its Teaching Tolerance program, which works to “foster school environments that are inclusive and nurturing,” and to help teachers “prepare a new generation to live in a diverse world.” The program produces a biannual publication, Teaching Tolerance magazine, which reaches more than 400,000 educators nationwide, as well as multimedia teaching kits, online curricula, and professional development resources. All of these are provided to educators at no cost.

The person in charge of Teaching Tolerance is William Ayers, the lifelong America-hating Marxist and former Weather Underground terrorist. In a glowing profile that appeared inTeaching Tolerance magazine, SPLC research fellow Gabrielle Lyon depicted Ayers as an “education reformer,” a “civil rights organizer,” a champion of “social justice,” and a “teacher and author” with “a rich vision of teaching that interweaves passion, responsibility and self-reflection.”

The Teaching Tolerance lesson kits contain reading materials and suggested classroom activities aimed at K-12 students, and generally steer them toward the conclusion that America is an inequitable, racist, and sexist society. As such, they bear the unmistakable imprint of William Ayers and Morris Dees. A brief survey of some of these lessons will illustrate the point.

* A series of lessons titled “Issues of Poverty” emphasize that African-Americans and Latinos are poor in disproportionately high numbers; that people are not personally responsible “for the socio-economic inequality from which they suffer”; and that “poverty is systemic, rooted in [capitalist] economics, politics and discrimination.”

* “Then and Now: Tolerance as a Casualty of War” is intended to help students “understand the injustice and dangers of scapegoating an entire group of people during a national crisis.” Most notably, it cautions against repeating, vis à vis Muslims in post-9/11 America, “the racism and paranoia that emerged after Pearl Harbor [and] led to the illegal internment of Japanese Americans.”

* “Sexism: From Identification to Activism” is designed to make students aware of the many “ways in which sexism manifests in personal and institutional beliefs, behaviors, use of language and policies.”

* “Visualizing School Equity” teaches that “unequal funding systems have concentrated students of color into underfunded, under-equipped institutions that some critics call ‘apartheid schools.’”

* “Test Yourself for Hidden Bias” urges students to “examine” their own “unconscious, or automatic, biases” as “an important step in understanding the roots of stereotypes and prejudice in our society.”

* “Six Lessons from Jena” emphasizes the prevalence of white racism in American society, and of deep biases in the juvenile-justice system.

* “The Immigration Debate” requires students to read a commentary by SPLC legal director Mary Bauer, encouraging them “to take a hard look at the harm and devastation done to people of Alabama because of the state’s anti-immigrant legislation.”

* “Recognizing the Undocumented” features “activities that will make students aware of the roles that undocumented immigrants [i.e., illegal aliens] play in the harvest and processing of food and other necessary products … and appreciate the importance of human rights.”

* “Introducing Kids to the Idea of Environmental Racism” teaches that “communities of color are more likely to bear the brunt of environmental hazards than are white communities.”

* “Emmett Till: A Classroom Sonnet” focuses children’s attention on the African-American teenager who was brutally murdered in by a group of whites Mississippi in 1955.
* “Economic Injustice Affects Us All” introduces students to the strikes and boycotts that the socialist labor activists Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta led against grape growers. After being thoroughly indoctrinated in the “injustice” of “income disparity,” students are directed to strike a blow for “economic justice” by creating various art projects that visually illustrate pay differences between executives and low-level employees.

* “Thanksgiving Mourning” teaches that because of “the racism and oppression” that Native Americans have had to endure ever since Europeans arrived in the New World, they often view Thanksgiving only as “a reminder of the genocide of millions of their people, the theft of their lands, and the relentless assault on their culture.”

15 Year old Wisconsin Conservative Student Meets Bullying from TEACHERS

Excerpt (In student’s own words)

“Just before the 2010 Midterm election, I was on the front page of the local newspaper for my political volunteer work and my teachers noticed. One of my seven teachers made it very clear that she dissaproved of my civic engagement. In a period of two months, my Geography teacher frequently would take me aside after school for a few minutes and tell me how stupid, wrong and misguided I was for being Republican. The harassment with this specific teacher got so bad, I had to switch schools halfway through the year.  At this time I was only 12 years old. To my knowledge, this teacher was not disciplined at all for her actions.

Two months after I switched to my new school, Scott Walker passed the controversial Budget Repair Bill. Most of the teachers at my new school were more than upset. A couple of my teachers wore red every day while crying, protesting and providing a one-sided perspective on the reforms and making it clear to us just how bad they believed Scott Walker was. One teacher even said she wouldn’t be able to have another child because Scott Walker was cutting so much money from her pay.

A few months later, I expected things to die down and be over with; it didn’t. Almost four months after Walker’s budget was passed, I walked into choir to find a substitute teacher showing us a 5 minute video about how great unions were and then she talked for an additional 10 minutes about how bad she believed Scott Walker to be.  At the end of the class, I stood up, defended the governor and told her how inappropriate her behavior was. I was told she didn’t do that to another class for the rest of the day.

During my 8th grade year I received more attention for my political activity. I had become known in the community because of newspaper, radio and TV interviews and was aware that this would possibly make me a target. Not only was I a volunteer for Governor Walker, but I was a very vocal supporter of him as well. While there were some minor instances of teachers complaining about Walker and a few mentions of my media appearances and such, the rhetoric seemed to be dying down.

It was a short-lived reprieve.  Things have deteriorated again this year, my freshman year. I came into the year with the knowledge that some teachers would already view me negatively because of my political views and I was correct.

If it Doesn’t Fit the Progressive Propaganda Machine: Black Teen Run Off the Liberal Plantation

Black Teen Run Off the Liberal Plantation

By Matthew May

Do you know the name Jada Williams?

You probably know the name Sandra Fluke.  She received a phone call from the incumbent president after the mean old white man on the radio called her a name.  You probably know the name Trayvon Martin.  The incumbent president answered a planted question from a White House reporter to indicate that Trayvon, slain by an individual representing the heretofore unknown demographic of white Hispanic, looked like he could be the president’s son.

Jada Williams is a 13-year-old student from Rochester, New York.  Earlier this school year, she was given a copy of the book The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, written by the great patriot Frederick Douglass.  Her assignment was to read the book and write an essay about her impressions.  Her essay was to be entered in a contest.  Jada Williams happens to be black.  Many of her teachers are white.

Reading Douglass can — and should — incite rage and astonishment at the depths to which barbaric slaveowners and their deputies sank in treating their fellow men.  The violence perpetrated upon Douglass and other slaves by the protected class of overseers is relayed in stark detail — to wit, an anecdote about an overseer named Mr. Gore:

Mr. Gore once undertook to whip one of Colonel Lloyd’s slaves, by the name of Demby. He had given Demby but few stripes, when, to get rid of the scourging, he ran and plunged himself into a creek, and stood there at the depth of his shoulders, refusing to come out. Mr. Gore told him that he would give him three calls, and that, if he did not come out at the third call, he would shoot him. The first call was given. Demby made no response but stood his ground. The second and third calls were given with the same result. Mr. Gore then, without consultation or deliberation with any one, not even giving Demby an additional call, raised his musket to his face, taking deadly aim at his standing victim, and in an instant poor Demby was no more…He (Gore) was asked by Colonel Lloyd and my old master, why he resorted to this extraordinary expedient. His reply was, (as well as I can remember,) that Demby had become unmanageable.

Ms. Williams struggled with the initial part of the assignment.  She found it difficult to encounter some of the vocabulary used by Douglass.  Exasperated at being unprepared to confront the text, she sought definition to that which she did not comprehend.  Once she became satisfied that she grasped Douglass’s use of the language, she understood what Douglass was describing.  She was struck by comparisons between her life and Douglass’s characterizations of the plantation overseers and masters and mistresses who denied him knowledge for fear of his becoming aware of his humanity.

In her essay, Ms. Williams drew a parallel between what she saw as a group of self-satisfied “white teachers” overseeing dysfunctional students (characterized by Ms. Williams as “so-called ‘unteachable’” students) who were not being properly taught, illiterate and perpetually ignorant.  This she considers a form of slavery.  Ms. Williams quoted an arresting passage from Douglass’s description of one of his masters, a Mr. Auld, happening upon his wife instructing Douglass in basic reading:

If you teach that nigger (speaking of myself) how to read, there will be no keeping him. It will forever unfit him to be a slave. He would at once become unmanageable, and of no value to his master.

One wonders if the copy of Douglass’s book read by Ms. Williams included, as do some editions, a letter written to Douglass by Massachusetts abolitionist Wendell Phillips.  Phillips surmised that Douglass’s experiences as a slave amounted to “[t]he cruel and blighting death that gather over his soul.”  An oft-quoted phrase about writers or by writers is that “writers write what they know.”  So Ms. Williams wrote.

Perhaps Ms. Williams’s use of the phrase “white teachers” was provocative.  Yet this is her reality.  Her plea was not that her teachers should be fired or punished in any way.  Her plea was conciliatory and did not limit blame for what she sees as an intolerable situation to them alone.  She asked that her teachers — and her fellow students — work in concert to spread knowledge and prepare their students and themselves in such a way so as to be able to engage a mind like Frederick Douglass without frustration:

A grand price was paid in order for us to be where we are today; but in my mind we should be a lot further, so again I encourage the white teachers to instruct and I encourage my people not to just be a student, but become a learner.

The essay that Ms. Williams wrote was never entered in the essay contest.  Instead, she was harassed out of her school by the very people whose assistance she requested.

The teacher who gave Ms. Williams the original assignment was so enraged at her essay that copies were distributed to fellow teachers and the principal.  Soon after, Ms. Williams’ parents began receiving several phone calls from faculty claiming that their daughter was “angry.”  Suddenly Ms. Williams, a model student prior to the essay, began receiving low grades in her classes.  In several meetings, these same teachers refused to show Ms. Williams’ parents the papers and tests that garnered lower grades.  During at least one such meeting, according to Mrs. Williams, a teacher union representative was present.

Her parents decided to enroll her another school in the district.  They were told that that school was full and to try another school.  The recommended school was full of actual unmanageable children, one of whom asked Ms. Williams if she were there because she fought too much in her old school.

It is impossible to believe that some member of the White House staff did not hear of this story.  Why did the incumbent president decline to comment?  Could he not identify with Ms. Williams?  Perhaps not, since the education he received from high school forward cost somebody hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Could it be that he could not personalize it enough?  Perhaps not, since his daughters attend the best schools money can buy.

Or perhaps the incumbent president did not wish to gamble with the endorsement of the overlords of the overseers in Ms. Williams’s school, the National Education Association (NEA).  Certainly the NEA and other teacher unions have had their share of disagreements with the incumbent president.  Yet their ranks are foursquare behind his re-election ideologically and financially.

Is it really the case that this president, a purported author of African descent, would have nothing to say about a young black girl who was intimidated and bullied out of a school by a group of white overseers who were upset at her impertinent behavior?  Are the NEA and manifold union backers of the incumbent president a protected class who cannot suffer any consequences for ejecting a student who had become “unmanageable”?

Happily, not everyone has ignored Ms. Williams.  She was awarded the first Spirit of Freedom award by the Frederick Douglass Society of New York on February 18, 2012.  Sadly, not enough people know and celebrate her courage and thoughtfulness.  No members of Congress, no former governors, and no professional basketball teams have taken the time, nor has the president, to publicly applaud Ms. Williams.  Nobody dons a hoodie in support of a young black girl tossed aside like trash for daring to learn, daring to speak up, and being summarily punished for it.

Do you know the name Jada Williams?  She is a bright young lady with a searching literary mind that should be nurtured by her teachers, celebrated as an engaged and engaging pupil.  Instead, she was hounded out of her school as the members of the early 21st century’s protected class proved her thesis.

From the Frederick Douglass Foundation:  Jada’s Essay

Jada Williams

Expressions from the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas

During my Christmas break I had the opportunity to read the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas.

The Rochester City School District supplied us with this novel to read and expected me to expound on what I read and how it made me feel, as I myself being an African American and an eighth grader in the Rochester City learning institute.

Before, I began to read this novel, I had heard about it prior from a few older people that have read it and raved about it. I myself experienced it differently; I had some mixed emotions towards it.

When reading the novel my first impression was “what am I reading”? The content of the narrative was far more advanced for me. I found myself getting a dictionary/thesaurus to look up words I have never seen before in my life. On the other hand I was appreciative because it helped to expand my vocabulary. So with that I am grateful.

After, being able to cross-reference the words unknown to me I was able to read through the novel again with a clearer understanding.

That’s when it all sank in. So then I began to feel very angry to read such material that was brutal and degrading to African Americans.

Furthermore, I myself began to question,” as to why the Rochester City School District would supply us with a novel that would evoke such emotions?” I, also began to question,” what were the District motives and the intent behind us reading about history that doesn’t compliment the white race and their behaviors at all; what would come about of this?”

Would they even consider my thoughts and my opinions? So I’m very curious to see what the turn out will be.

The one passage I would like to focus on was written on page 20, where it quoted Mr. Auld’s  opinions towards black and education, and I quote:

“Very soon after I went to live with Mr. and Mrs. Auld, she very kindly commenced to teach me the A, B, C. After I learned this, she assisted me in learning to spell words of three or four letters.

Just at this point of my progress, Mr. Auld found out what was going on, and at once forbade Mrs. Auld to instruct me further, telling her, among other things, that it was unlawful, as well as unsafe, to teach a slave to read. To use his own words, further, he said, if you give a nigger an inch, he will take an ell. A nigger should know nothing but to obey his master-to do as he is told to do. Learning will spoil the best nigger in the world.

Now,” said he, “if you teach that nigger (speaking of myself) how to read, there will be no keeping him. It will forever unfit him to be a slave. He would at once become unmanageable, and of no value to his master.

As to himself, it could do him no good, but a great deal of harm. It would make him discontented and unhappy.” (Skipping down)

“I now understood what had been to me a most perplexing difficulty- to wit, the white man’s power to enslave the black man. It was a grand achievement, and I prized it highly. From that moment, I understood the pathway from slavery to freedom,”

My thoughts: This type of thinking is somewhat still prevalent in our society today.

Most white teachers that I have come into contact with, over the last several years of my life, has failed to instruct us even today. The teachers are not as vocal about us not learning how it has been described in this narrative; but their actions speaks volumes.

When I myself sit in crowded classrooms and no real concrete instruction is taking place. It makes that saying “history does repeat itself” all the more true.

For white teachers to be able to be in a position of power to dictate what I can, cannot and will learn, only desiring that I may get bored because of the inconsistency and the mis-management of the classroom and remain illiterate and ignorant; or better yet distracted because some children decide to misbehave because they don’t understand, and ashamed to ask for help.

The teacher recognizing all of these things and still not addressing the matter at hand, so much time has been wasted- then the bell rings and on to the next class, same drama different teacher, different class. When do we get off of this roller coaster?

When the white teachers began to pass out pamphlets and packets, they expect us the black students to read the directions, complete it, and hand it in for a grade. The reality of this is that most of my peers cannot read and or comprehend the material that has been provided.

So, I feel like not much has changed, just different people, different era, the same old discrimination still resides in the hearts of the white man.

In closing, my suggestions to my peers, people of color, and my generation to try achieve what has been established by the African Americans and Abolitionists that paved the way for us to receive what’s rightfully yours. Blood, sweat, and tears have been shed for us to obtain any goals, which we may set for ourselves.

Never being afraid to excel and achieve, because our ancestors have been bound for so, so, so, so, so long. We are free to learn, and my advice to my peers, people of color, and my generation- start making these white teachers accountable for instructing you. They chose this profession, they brag about their credentials; they brag about their tenure, so if you have so much experience, then find a more productive way to teach the so-called “unteachable”.

They contain this document that states they have all this knowledge to teach, so show me what you know, teach me your ways. What merit is there, if you contain all this knowledge and not willing to share because of the color of my skin.

To all of our surprise, we all have the same warm, red blood running through our veins, regardless of what race I may be. If you don’t believe me, then poke me and poke a white man and you will see.

To my peers, people of color, and my generation, start asking questions, start doing the research, get involved. A grand price was paid in order for us to be where we are today; but in my mind we should be a lot further, so again I encourage the white teachers to instruct and I encourage my people to not just be a student, but become a learner.

***Personal Opinion***

Until We the People stand up against Teacher’s Unions that protect bad teachers and condone situations such as the above , our children will lag behind the world in educational achievement.

End teacher tenure.

Make Teacher Unions accountable instead of covering up or sending bad teachers to different districts.

Accolades to Jada for standing up for her rights and fighting against the Progressive agenda.

The Radicalization of Teachers by the Teacher’s Union. Are They Teaching Radicalization/Indoctrination?

=========================


Marxism/Communism in the classroom?  How better to teach it than indoctrinating the teachers first?

The following article sent the hairs on the neck just standing upright.

Knowledge of some teachers as believers in Marxism/Communism is already known, however the belief of Gov. Chris Christie’s statement of it is not the teachers it is the Unions is ringing loud and clear.

National Education Association Selling its Saul

By Bill Costello

The National Education Association (NEA), the U.S.’s largest labor union, is promoting communism to the millions of American public school teachers it represents. Teachers who are influenced by their union’s efforts are more likely to indoctrinate American children into communism.

For the past several months, the NEA website has recommended that its members read books by communist sympathizer Saul Alinsky. And, for a time, the website listed October 1 as a day for teachers and students to celebrate the anniversary of the Communist takeover of China by Mao Zedong.

Saul Alinsky, who has been described by his biographer Sanford Horwitt as a “Communist fellow-traveler,” wanted to transfer power from the so-called Haves to the so-called Have-notsand transform the U.S. into a communist state.

In his book, Rules for Radicals, Alinsky states, “A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally the last stage-the political paradise of communism.”

Alinsky’s amoral attitude extended beyond communist ideology; he completely rejected the Judeo-Christian principles America was founded on. He dedicated the first edition of Rules for Radicals to Lucifer: “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins-or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

On its website, the NEA continues to sell its Saul.

For a time, the website’s “Diversity Events” page listed October 1 as a day for schools to celebrate the anniversary of the Communist takeover of China. However, that listing was removed shortly after it was criticized in a report by World Net Daily.

Here’s a calendar listing the NEA should put on its website: On March 3, 1952, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a New York state law — the Feinberg Law — that barred communists from teaching in public schools. However, the NEA is more likely to celebrate the date the Supreme Court reversed itself in a subsequent case fifteen years later.

From coast to coast, news stories abound about communist indoctrination in U.S. schools. For example, the New York Times recently reported that a teacher working at Beacon High School in New York City had pictures of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro on the walls of his classroom, took students on a field trip to Cuba, and bluntly admitted to the school principal that he’s a communist. And Fox News recently reported that students at Black Pine Circle School in Berkeley, California created a mosaic that included symbols of communism and a prediction that “capitalism will fail.”

Students in California are sent home for wearing American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo while students around the country are allowed to wear T-shirts with images of Che Guevara, the communist revolutionary and mass murderer.

American children are not being taught that Alinsky’s “paradise of communism” has never shown up. They are not learning that the world’s greatest famines and mass murders have occurred under communist regimes.

And the NEA wants to keep it that way.

The Center for American Progress, which received $110,000 from NEA, published a report recommending the elimination of several subjects from U.S. federal education programs, including “Academies for American History and Civics,” “We the People,” and “Excellence in Economic Education.”

American history, civic education, and economic and financial literacy are the three most important subjects for producing an educated electorate — and yet they are the very subjects at risk of being eliminated from primary and secondary public education.

================================

From the NEA’s own website:

Alinsky’s goal seems to be to encourage positive social change by equipping activists with a realistic view of the world, a kind of preemptive disillusionment. If a person already knows what evil the world is capable of, then perhaps the surprise factor can be eliminated, making the person a more effective activist. Alinsky further seems to be encouraging the budding activist not to worry to much about getting his or her hands dirty. It’s all a part of the job, he seems to say.

Alinsky, the master political agitator, tactical planner and social organizer didn’t mince words…

Liberals in their meetings utter bold works; they strut, grimace belligerently, and then issue a weasel-worded statement ‘which has tremendous implications, if read between the lines.’ They sit calmly, dispassionately, studying the issue; judging both sides; they sit and still sit.

The Radical does not sit frozen by cold objectivity. He sees injustice and strikes at it with hot passion. He is a man of decision and action. There is a saying that the Liberal is one who walks out of the room when the argument turns into a fight.

Society has good reason to fear the Radical. Every shaking advance of mankind toward equality and justice has come from the Radical. He hits, he hurts, he is dangerous. Conservative interests know that while Liberals are most adept at breaking their own necks with their tongues, Radicals are most adept at breaking the necks of Conservatives.

Radicals precipitate the social crisis by action – by using power. Liberals may then timidly follow along or else, as in most cases, be swept forward along the course set by Radicals, but all because of forces unloosed by Radical action. They are forced to positive action only in spite of their desires …

  • “The American Radical will fight privilege and power whether it be inherited or acquired by any small group, whether it be political or financial or organized creed.
  • “He curses a caste system which he recognizes despite all patriotic denials.
  • “He will fight conservatives whether they are business or labor leaders.
  • “He will fight any concentration of power hostile to a broad, popular democracy, whether he finds it in financial circles or in politics.
  • “The Radical recognizes that constant dissension and conflict is and has been the fire under the boiler of democracy. He firmly believes in that brave saying of a brave people, “Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!”
  • “The Radical may resort to the sword but when he does he is not filled with hatred against those individuals whom he attacks. He hates these individuals not as persons but as symbols representing ideas or interests which he believes to be inimical to the welfare of the people.
  • “That is the reason why Radicals, although frequently embarking upon revolutions, have rarely resorted to personal terrorism.”

Alinsky practiced what he preached. He said, “Tactics means doing what you can with what you have … tactics is the art of how to take and how to give.”

He uses eyes, ears and nose for examples…

Eyes
“If you have a vast organization, parade it before the enemy, openly show your power.”

Ears
“If your organization is small, do what Gideon did: conceal the members in the dark but raise a clamor that will make the listener believe that your organization numbers many more that it does.”

Nose
“If your organization is too tiny even for noise, stink up the place.”

Alinsky devised and proved thirteen tactical rules for use against opponents vastly superior in power and wealth.

1. “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
2. “Never go outside the experience of your people.
3. “Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy.
4. “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
6. “A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
8. “Keep the pressure on.
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
10. “Major premise for tactics is development of operations that will maintain constant pressure upon the opposition.
11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

“The real action is in the enemy’s reaction. The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength. Tactics, like life, require that you move with the action.”

Alinsky was hated and defamed by powerful enemies, proof that his tactics worked. His simple formula for success…

“Agitate + Aggravate + Educate + Organize”

Ever Wonder WHO supports the Teachers’ Union?

 

From the Communist Party USA website: People’s World

SEATTLE — Delegates to the American Federation of Teachers 81th Convention here applauded as AFT President Randi Weingarten urged them to mobilize for a massive October 2 march on Washington, D.C. to demand jobs and full funding of public education and health care.

“We are affected by and care about the same issues that everyday people care about,” she told the 3,000 educators and nurses who crowded the Washington State Convention Center July 8.

“The AFT will be a full partner in the One Nation March on Washington that is being organized by a broad range of civil rights, labor, faith, youth, immigrant rights and other progressive organizations.”

She added, “This march will highlight the need for an America that focuses on good jobs, good public education, taking good care of our environment and immigration reform.”

She echoed an earlier speech by Ben Jealous, President and CEO of the NAACP who recalled the joy on the Capitol Mall when President Obama was sworn in January, 2009.  Since then the vast progressive coalition has been too passive, he said. In moments of deep economic crisis, the nation can “tear itself apart with division and hatred” or the people can stand as one to “pull the country together…That’s why we are organizing a mass march October 2, the One Nation March on Washington.”

Weingarten said teachers face a swirling “vortex” that includes the threatened layoff of 300,000 teachers when school reopens in the fall.

She praised the administration and the Democratic majority in the House and Senate for pushing through President Obama’s first economic stimulus that provided $100 billion to avert layoffs and cutbacks last year.

But that money is running out and Republican “deficit hawks” in the Senate are blocking another $15 billion to prevent layoffs and cutbacks this fall, she said. More than 120 school districts have been forced to cut back to four-day weeks and teachers are taking furlough days to save their colleagues jobs.

ANOTHER SUPPORTER OF RANDI WEINGARTEN: 

=================================

Notice the mention of the Working Families Party?

WORKING FAMILIES PARTY

  • Front group for ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now)
  • Functions as a political party in New York State and Connecticut, running or cross-endorsing candidates for local, state, and federal office
  • Works closely with Hillary Clinton

Currently composed of some 30,000 members, the Working Families Party (WFP) is a front group for ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). WFP functions as a political party in New York State and Connecticut, promoting ACORN-friendly candidates. Unlike conventional political parties, WFP charges its members dues — about $60 per year — a policy characteristic of ACORN and its affiliates.

According to the party’s website, WFP is a coalition founded jointly by ACORN, the Communications Workers of America, and the United Automobile Workers. However, ACORN clearly dominates the coalition. New York ACORN leader Steven Kest was the moving force in forming the party, and WFP headquarters are located at the same address as ACORN’s national office, at 88 Third Avenue in Brooklyn, New York.

An outgrowth of the socialist New Party, WFP was created in 1998. According to a 2000 article by the Associated Press, its objective was (and still is) to ”help push the Democratic Party toward the left.” In pursuit of this goal, WFP runs radical candidates in state and local elections. Generally, WFP candidates conceal their extremism beneath a veneer of populist rhetoric, promoting bread-and-butter issues designed to appeal to union workers and other blue-collar voters, Republican and Democrat alike.

=========================================

ADD THIS:

Washington State’s Democratic Senator Patty Murray, now locked in a tough reelection fight, said she was returning to the nation’s capital to fight for Senate passage of a bill that provides $10 billion to avert teacher layoffs so far blocked by Republicans.

She said she is proud that she fought to incorporate $100 billion in President Obama’s first economic stimulus to “save or create 300,000 education jobs.”

She added, “It has made a difference. It is important. But we know it is not enough.”

***NOT ENOUGH?**** Unemployed Americans would know WHAT to do with $100 BILLION dollars…..wouldn’t you?

LOVE that save or create message…………..

Let’s see…….$100 BILLION divided by “300,000 education jobs saved or created “= $333,333.00 per job?

Anyone see a problem here?
