   I wonder what would happen if a kid walked into school with “John 3:16″ carved into his hair?

   Would he merely be expelled or would he be jailed? I suppose there is a “Zero Tolerance Policy” on that somewhere in the NEA handbook…

   ….. spotlight the president’s visit to a Wisconsin public school to peddle his latest massive increase in federal education spending:

   Since the government, by definition, produces nothing, any money it spends is stolen through illegal confiscation of private property. Unless of course it spends “money” it has printed in the basement.

   The founders fought a revolution over far less aggregious crimes perpetrated by Britain. We’ve got to have a Constitutional amendment for a balanced budget tying the size of the budget to GDP….. 15% max. let the “progressives” fight over the scraps after defense is settled.

    This is a very important point. Tom Wolfe once stated that a religion is a cult that has acquired political power. Well, we all agree Obama has a cult following and he certainly has acquired political power. Makes one wonder if the difference between what we are observing and a true religion is only a matter of semantics. If Obama worship is arguably a religion, that is extremely bad news for the country that does need any more of it.

    I am reading Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged right now, and I read a portion last night that is appropriate to what is going on with regard to our children’s “public education.” It is about a young man who dies after he realizes too late what it means to live, after his short lifetime was spent living for the collective, and Hank Reardon’s (one of the story’s heroes) thought process afterwards:

    “He thought of all the living species that train their young in the art of survival, the cats who teach their kittens to hunt, the birds who spend such strident effort on teaching their fledglings to fly–yet man, whose tool of survival is the mind, does not merely fail to teach a child to think, but devotes the child’s education to the purpose of destroying his brain, of convincing him that thought is futile and evil, before he has started to think”

    …

    “Men would shudder, he thought, if they saw a mother bird plucking the feathers from the wings of her young, then pushing him out of the nest to struggle for survival–yet that was what they did to their children.”

    Armed with nothing but meaningless phrases, this boy had been thrown to fight for existence, he had hobbled and groped through a brief, doomed effort, he had screamed his indignant, bewildered protest–and perished in his first attempt to soar on his mangled wings.

    So many of the children who are being told what to perceive and believe are doomed. They are released into “society” with nothing to keep themselves alive and moving forward. In fact, they are released as menaces to society–with no other conviction than that there’s a government in place whose sole purpose is to provide everything for them, and that they are perpetual victims who are incapable of surviving an moving on their own.

    Yesterday, I listened on Rush Limbaugh’s program so many recordings of children at different schools singing praises to Barack Obama, and I wept for them, because these children are being prepared for poverty and utter dependence. They are being prepared to be good slaves for their masters in Washington, DC. They are not being trained to think and use their minds. Their minds are being emptied and filled with hope and faith in a failed system that will reduce them to being simple “constituents” and votes for a diabolical, tyrannical system.

    Admittedly the kid with the hair cut is over the top, and it says more about the kid’s parents. (I hope he did not do it without permission.)

    Though how does one prevent such a thing? And, who is ultimately responsible, other than the individual? Should the freedom we have to express our support for any thing, or individual, be taken away?

    I mean, no matter how distasteful a Phillies fan might find it, should a fan of the Yankees not be allowed to wear a pin that reads, “I heart Derek Jeter”?

    there are adults who paint their naked torsos and go to football games in freezing weather, so this kid is excused in my book for 1 young, 2 public school product. my beef is these “teachers” who keep wasting desperately needed time bringing the messiah and/or his wife into schools for photo-ops, and wasting the teaching time teaching them “barrack raps”. these kids have a MAXIMUM of 11,240 hours from k – 12 of education to compete in the 21st century. that’s approximately 5 1/2 years of ojt for the adults in a job. does anyone think that a management trainee at pfyzer will be ready to handle the ceo’s job after 6 years? yet we wonder why our kids are failing miserably when compared to foriegn students.

    At the very least, please don’t force those little girls into skirts or dresses. They’re annoying, distracting, and limiting in their nature. Separate is NOT equal, so you really need to have the same uniforms for girls and boys to be fair, especially when they face enough stereotyping garbage already-especially those poor children stuck in private schools, where there is far less recourse for them. Thinking about my tax money going to stick MORE children in those institutions I don’t even have any power to fix makes me a little sick.

    Whole departments should be eliminated: Dept Education, Dept Agriculture, Dept HHS, should all be gone for starters.
