School assignment features Republican tearing up 'pathway to citizenship'

KYLE OLSON

NEENAH, Wis. – An 8th grader at Shattuck Middle School received a perfect score for claiming Republicans want to "destroy" the pathway to citizenship.

According to the boy's father, Scott Radies, he was given a worksheet by Social Studies teacher Grace Davis. Students were to read a political cartoon and answer questions about it.

As reported by Independent Journal Review, students were to look at a drawing of two men working on a brick path. One, with a Democratic Party logo on his clothing, was building the path while the other, with an elephant, was uprooting it. He can be seen literally throwing the bricks of his shoulder.

Students were then required to answer the following questions:

* Who are the men in the picture (What is their job? Look at what they are doing for a hint)
* What are they building?
* What do the symbols on their shirts represent?
* What is action being done by each man?
* What might this mean to us about immigration and citizenship?

The government controlled gulags are doing a fantastic job of brain washing our youth, thanks to the teachers unions. All the more reason to either homeschool or enroll your children in a private school.

Govt schools  must  be abolished

Good luck with that. As long as the unions and politicians support the government run gulags, they will never be abolished. You can thank Carter for that!

From my point of view, that is the first thing you have got right.

Good organization.   Here's another  link from that issue.

Can this do anything but backfire on Grace Davis and the political left wing? 
Everyone knows Obama's path to citizenship was proposed nearly word for word by George W, Bush
when he was President, and the Democrats shot it down.

Incidentally, this is very typical extortion by the left. It is this scenario: If you educational reformers keep it up with your home school and charter ideas, we will turn the public schools into virtual Marxist training centers for the coming revolution, and you will be screwed.  So you had better give us what we want.

I'd say they have already done what you mentioned.

Nope nope nothing to see here, no indoctrination of our youth going on in the classrooms. Move along, move along, simma down now!  I didn't need to even get to the "more" link to see how absolutely disgustingly blatant the unfair, characterizations, and liberal leftist indoctrination this is.

THIS IS NOT SOCIAL STUDIES THIS IS INDOCTRINATION OF WHAT IS A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE, AND A FRANKLY A FORM OF CHILD ABUSE!

All caps there for emphasis and yes, I'm yelling at the stupid liberals who are ok with this sort of junk going on. As I would remind them that the political pendulum always swings from the left to the right and vice versa in the U.S.

The day will come, despite their best efforts to lie, cheat, steal, buy elections. When the American people say, nope we've had all the leftist garbage we can stomach from you dims, and vote the lot of you out of office.

Replacing them with those same "conservatives" this "assignment" seeks to mock, and ridicule.

What happens then, should we allow them, to indoctrinate our you to hate liberals? In an attempt too ensure it is conservatives and their ideals which if taken to the extreme could be as dangerous to our Constitutional Republic as those of the leftists?

No libs?

Then stop, and no longer support this sort of thing now.

End of rant. 

That's why I call them gulags.

You know I have family who are way out there liberal. I mean way out there, worshipping at the altar of The Obama out there. And they're young twenty somethings, but liberal as liberal gets. As I found out this past Christmas.

And I always wondered how that was, how it happened that my cousins, whom I"ve known since they were babies, (even changed their diapers a time or two) were so liberal.

Given my family, and even their parents are anything but liberals.

Now I know how that happened. Hell now I know how it was that even I, the crazy conservative, had to be "deprogrammed" as it were.

Eight hours a day,of being forced to sit and listen and watch liberal propaganda, with work assigned for ya while at home, that is nothing but full of more leftist liberal propaganda meant for indoctrination like this, will do that to a kid. 

So yeah "gulag" is a good word for them.

When the educators are being indoctrinated while in college, it's no wonder they teach their students what they were taught.

It just seems that today, the liberal agenda and nomenclature is getting into all aspects of the primary and middle school classrooms. No longer just in high schools and colleges.  The kids live the liberal view point in all things social.  It's in television programing, cartoons, tween shows, music, movies etc.

They are exposed to it constantly, even when they aren't aware of it.

I think it all started to go down hill when we re-labeled "teachers" as "educators" and "facilitators".
