#1 Holt McDougal News Release All one must do is simply follow the money.

#2 Nice, but not unexpected, schoolbooks and the public education system are big blocks in the whole gramscian scheme.
Funny bit, though, how his (not very successful, except if you include pork money for his cronies) "community organizer" days are a LIFE OF SERVICE, while the actual service of McCain is just a sign he's a warmongering old man. You've got to love the crazy worldview... but, hey, it works pretty well for them!

#3 In any regards, following this Us presidential election has been very enlightening for me, about lotsa stuff hidden under rocks in the US policies, items you don't mention in polite society. Nice.

A question, still : the "Bizarro world feeling" is unshakable about this whole mess, any of you old timers around here thinks this is a watershed election, a system pushed to its logical end, that however this turns, a step will have been passed???

The youth of today see African American artifacts and culture but they dont understand how these pieces are part of a long literary tradition, said Allen Wheatcroft, president of Holt.

We want this anthology to help educators reach and inspire the next generation with names like Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, and Queen Latifah. These are names that students recognize and teachers can use the works of these authors to pull students into other literature.

That is one helluva long and impressive tradition.

#5 a system pushed to its logical end, that however this turns, a step will have been passed???

I'm in total agreement. Even if the Kenyan is defeated next month, which is of very big 'if' my long view sees more of the same political ideology surfacing in the future. If not from this fellow, from others of similar ilk.

#7 Now I understand that many teachers are liberals, but does the school have the right to shove Obama down our kid's throats?

In other words, a mental rape of underage children. Not to mention that it was made on tax payer's dime.

#10 You can thank government funded PUBLIC EDUCATION!

Luckily, public health care will be completely different than public education or the postal system. Oh, yeah!

#12 Some one had a plan and the plan was implemented in 1979. It progressed according to the initial design - to get a young charismatic Marxist/Leninist elected POTUS by pulling all the heart-strings and taking advantage of the leftist slant of educators and media workers. So far, it is working according to plan. No need to change it or cancel it - it is on plan. Hey, 1979 = Iran hostage crisis, Reagan comes alive later and gives the Iranian's an ultimatum, Barry starts school at Occidental. Nah, it couldn't be.

#14 Abu do you love said something about this in yesterday's mega post. This just reinforces that opinion I share.

My niece asked me who I'm voting for last weekend. I said McCain and she asked why...I said, "Well -niece-, I think you are a good person but I don't think you are ready to drive yet (she is 8). Maybe in 8 years but not yet and especially not in city rush hour traffic. You wouldn't want to be riding with someone who has just a couple hours driving experience trying to get across Wichita at 5:00 Friday would you?" So yes, these kids are being tought by their teachers that ~~Beeblebox~~ Obama is the choice and question those who think otherwise (I could tell by the tone of voice).

#15 Remember, when people grow up they tend to remember how useless their teachers were.

To rebel against authority teenagers rebel against what their teachers promote.

#16 I see the Great Leader has already been put in the textbooks for worship.
Obama and his cronies are reminding me more and more of other cults of personality that have been incredibly destructive to the world.

#17 Obama's health care plan: "Oh, you're a Republican? Here, drink this Kool Aid." Immediately cuts health care costs in half.
