Parents Upset Over 'Leftist Propaganda' Video

by Lisa Schencker - September 2nd, 2009 - The Salt Lake Tribune

"It's very inappropriate to show a radical, leftist propaganda piece that political to children," Ruzicka said. "If parents want their children to learn about those things and do them in the home, wonderful, fine, but it's not the place of the school to show a one-sided propaganda piece to children without parents knowing about it."

With this recent experience of propaganda flowing from the Obama Department of Education cited in this article, the concern over Obama's speech on Tuesday is much more understandable. I just love the American Dept. of Education taking the position children should pledge "not to flush after urinating". Though Obama extremists might think this is somehow good for the earth, it is far from mainstream thinking. This is what we send our tax dollars to Washington to fund?

Or how about the pledge "to sell my obnoxious car and buy a hybrid"? Once again, if CO2 is not a "greenhouse" gas, as many scientists insist, the entire "hybrid" effort is deluded nonsense. This is not yet settled policy. So how does Obama get to promote his political agenda to our children? We have never tolerated Presidents using government funds to politicize issues before. Why does Obama get a pass?
