I’m bookmarking this thread for posterity the next time a conservative is elected president and we start to go down this whole road again, only I’m fairly certain that many of the same posters are not going to be philosophically musing upon the efficacy of children taking an interest in politics.
Either using our state and school system to indoctrinate children with political ideology is bad, or it isn’t.
Again, if this had been the same kind of thing 4 years prior, it’d be a completely different thread. The hypocrisy is so ripe I can taste it.
Dude, it’s not about fucking politics. This goes for ZEB to, every single video the author showed depicted black or latino people singing songs about hope and achievement. In these instances it’s solely about race and the fact that Barack Obama was elected president. Try and use your imagination a little bit.
Nonsense, if there were a room full of white kids singing praises to GW Bush in a midwestern elementary school a couple of years ago the liberal media would have tripped all over themselves screaming about indoctrination.
It’s just the old nauseating double standard, nothing more.
Utter nonsense eh? Riddle me this ZEB, if this issue is not about racial inequality then how many of the videos the author found showed white kids singing songs of hope about Obama? Try zero ZEB.
Everyone stop the race shit, either we are equal or we aren’t, if it is ok for one group to get behind their race it is ok for all.
If it isn’t it isn’t that is equality not this special interest propoganda people keep spouting.
People in my area would know better then to even try this in a school with our children. Either side, no matter what color, you don’t teach this in schools. Schools are for education; reading, math and science, possibly business medicine.
Another reason to do away with public schools, it is a parents responsibility to educate and care for their children. Not the communities. You should not be taxed in order for my child to be educated, nor should you have any say in what ideology, religion or guidance I offer them.
People in this country have become so infused with dependence on the government they don’t even see that they have no freedom, unless you live completely off the grid somehow, you are part of the miserable collective.
Anyone ever read this, Patriots http://www.amazon.com/Patriots-Surviving-Collapse-Turbulent-Expanded/dp/1425734073, it is good if you get a chance.
In theory I would agree with you, but in practice we have a different scenario playing out. The fact is there are millions of black children growing up without a father image. Approximately 65% of all black children grow up without any male in their home who is capable of acting as a positive role model. Many of these same children seek out gangs to get the male attention that they crave.
A very positive offshoot of having a black President is that black children have a positive role model at the very pinnacle of power. Hence, they now can see that it is possible for them to accomplish their own goals. There’s nothing wrong with them singing praises to President Obama at the right time and place. If it gives them the vision that they need to rise another level how is that bad? This is far better than throwing money at the problem which only creates more problems as we’ve seen since the 1960’s when the war on poverty began? Look on the bright side in the many thousands of black children who sing praises to Obama there may be a future conservative leader.

That’s funny, a conservative leader, who only got to his position by the institutes conservatism does not believe in.
Guess what, I still say the public school system is a horrible idea, so maybe we should let people learn the concepts of responsibility and accountability and fail. Not be funded for nothing, realize they need to contribute to get something.
That is the only way to turn things around.
