Dept of Education

As I previously posted, President Obama is planning to have a “townhall meeting” with our nation’s youth on September 8th via webcast just a day before he is to address the nation and a Joint Session of Congress.  At first glance I sincerely hope the president’s message is about education and its importance and it impact on his life – a real rarararah kinda thing.  However, I’m not crazy.

The more that the White House and the Department of Education have tried to explain this move, the more I am of the belief that this is purely propaganda aimed at planting progressive ideology in the minds of our nation’s youth.  He has said he wants citizen soldiers, so why not start the training young?

As you can read in this link to my page entitled Combating the Popular Rule, this is purely another attempt by Obama’s Popular Rule to grab for power in yet another direction.   I had often wondered how he would tap into the younger crowd to get that wing of Academia to support his causes and now I have an answer.

Thought you might want to see what the Department of Education is proposing for teachers to use as a supplement to watching the program.

During the Speech • As the president speaks, teachers can ask students to write down key ideas or phrases that are important or personally meaningful.  Students could use a note‐taking graphic organizer such as a “cluster web;” or, students could record their thoughts on sticky notes.  Younger children could draw pictures and write as appropriate.  As students listen to the speech, they could think about the following:  What is the president trying to tell me? What is the president asking me to do? What new ideas and actions is the president challenging me to think about? • Students could record important parts of the speech where the president is asking them to do something. Students might think about the following:  What specific job is he asking me to do?   Is he asking anything of anyone else?  Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?

You can read the whole message here at the Department of Education’s Website.
