Massage an idiots ego and you can get them to agree with anything you wish. This is how social mobs are manipulated and why children are not taught to be self sufficient. Remember, individual is a bad word, community, group, etc... is the goal. There can be no individual thought in such groups as it creates distention within the ranks. All must think alike to achieve such cohesiveness and that requires poorly educated people who think they are better educated than those that do not think like them.
Ummm 'Indoctrination' in the schools (public, private, or parochial) is nothing new.
If the party line bothers you, move your child(ren) to a school that is geared toward your beliefs.
As someone pointed out, when everyone who can move their kids out of public schools, does it, who will be left to fight for those public school kids being brainwashed?
Too bad that the public education system is nothing but indoctrination and all for political ends. It is sickening and why we homeschooled our children. I feel sorry for people who have to send their children to any public school in this country because that means that their children will not get a proper education, but will have good self esteem.
too late I'm afraid. some 26 states have already agreed to adopt federal national standards. My own arkansas among them. Damn shame.
They had to agree to them if they took the education part of the Obama stimulus. That was the carrot dangled..take this money but we get to call the shots.

I guess those kids will be sitting with empty hands in the future.
I always find it very amusing when people label the public education system "indoctrination", especially when most of those people homeschool their children, have not set foot in a public school for years, and do not advocate for public schools. Leave the public schools alone, we like them just fine. Us peons who have our children in public schools are quite capable of being involved in our children's education and knowing what is in the curriculum, and addressing any issues that may be contrary to our own personal beliefs withour insisting that the entire country change the curriculum to suit our own needs. That the women in the OP link did not know what was in her daughter's Social Studies book is her failure, not the public schools.

The MArxist wannabes need to be locked up. There will come a day that they WILL be for trying to further their ideology which is completely against the US Constitution. Keep it up Commies, you will be dealt with eventually.

I think you responded to the wrong post. This rant has absolutely nothing to do with my post.
