INDOCTRINATION?


READ THE WHOLE STORY FROM THE WASHINGTON TIMES

here are just a few excerpts from the story.

...An e-mail distributed by a Virginia teachers union encouraged members to bring politics into the classroom by wearing blue in support of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama and simultaneously suggested that the union's voter registration efforts include those "you teach." ...

The e-mail said teachers should wear blue Tuesday for "Obama Blue Day" and to "register two voters or talk to two people who may be on the fence/or a McCain supporter and sway them to become a Obama supporter."
The e-mail also states: "There are people out there not yet registered. You teach some of them."
...

Are we really surprised by this? I have to check on a daily basis what my kids bring home from school and what kind of statements are being made by their teachers. It's a constant battle. The liberal/Democrat talking points and philosophies are being taught to our children starting in Kindergarten. We have to be vigilant and vocal about things like this.
