When kids head back to school Tuesday many will be greeted by President Barack Obama, who intends to deliver some sort of message.
If you listen to the Obama-owned - er Liberal - media, it will be an enlightening message of staying in school and helping America. The media that is not in Obama's hip pocket (FOX News and very few others), the president plans to indoctrinate the young minds of America into the Left-wing conspiracy and make them into eco-terrorists.
I have no problem with a "Stay in School" message by Obama. I wouldn't even mind it if he asked the kids to write letters about how they can help the United States. But, Obama is asking the kids to write about how they can help him, not this country; what they admire about him; and to create posters stating their favorite Obama quotes.
I've been wrestling with this for a week now. My first inclination was to think this is another example of Obama's arrogance and ego as he is making this program all about him. I still believe that to be true.
I was, however, a little less inclined to believe this was some sort of indoctrination of young minds - until I remembered a movie I watched back in the early 1990s titled "Tito and Me."
It's a story about a young boy named Zoran in 1950s Yugoslavia, which was a communist country ruled by Josip Broz Tito, who was the president of the country but was really a dictator. The filmmaker was Goran Markovic who lived in Yugoslavia and through this film presented the propaganda the children were subjected to under Tito.
The young boy lived in a crowded apartment with extended family because Tito forcibly removed people from their homes to give to others. Sounds a lot like redistribution of wealth. Zoran loved Tito so much he wrote an essay stating he loved the dictator more than his own mother.
The essay was part of a program the government sponsored so school kids could express how much they loved and admired Tito. Sounds really similar to a certain United States president looking to talk to the kids this Tuesday.
I usually don't base my opinions on reality based on fictitious movies, but "Tito and Me" was based on factual events. A few Google searches and some research shows how dictators like Tito, Hitler, and Castro used the schools to shape the thoughts of the people by getting to them at a young and impressionable age.
Is Obama the next Tito, Hitler or Castro? No. But, pushing himself school children is something those men did to keep control over the populace.
I also wonder how much rage would be coming out of MSNBC is George Bush put himself above America by asking school children to help him and instead of this nation? Speaking of MSNBC. Where is all the coverage of the anti-war group Code Pink? When Bush was president they covered every move that group made, including that huge protest at the Bush ranch in Crawford, Texas that attracted six people.
Hey, Keith Olbermann and Company, Code Pink is still protesting the war in Iraq. I know your savior is in the White House but maybe you could do your jobs with integrity for once.
If I were a parent I would either remove my kid from school during Propaganda Day or I would insist on watching the message with my child so I could respond. The only poster I'd let my kid make would have quote saying it was beyond his pay grade to answer a question about when a fetus has rights.
Once a president is allowed into schools promoting his or her agenda, it's bad news. it's bad enough schools are constantly promoting the Left-wing agenda. We don't need Obama pushing it even farther.
