With all the kerfluffle<\/a> about the impending Obama speech in our public schools tomorrow I thought I’d drop a post to lambast those liberal, permissive indoctrinators. After all, they know that if you get them early and get them often, you’ve got a better shot at shaping their values and perspectives (this isn’t lost on churches either.)
\n
\nHere are some choice excerpts from the speech to be delivered tomorrow (not in Medina, Ohio<\/a> – it’s up to the parents to decide if they want their children exposed to this liberal brainwashing.) Read the full transcript here<\/a>, if you dare.
\n<\/p>\n

\nNow I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve given a lot of speeches about education. And I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve talked a lot about responsibility.
\n…
\nBut at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.
\nAnd that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yep, that sure is incendiary stuff – be responsible to yourself<\/i>. I can see why Michelle Malkin is outraged with this liberal swill.
\n<\/p>\n

\nAnd no matter what you want to do with your life \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I guarantee that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll need an education to do it.
\n…
\nYou can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got to work for it and train for it and learn for it.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another key liberal bias: hard work is required for success. You can’t just expect to drop into a good job. The nerve of this guy, doesn’t he know that the socialist government will provide all regardless of your effort level? Obama is clearly a menace.
\n<\/p>\n

\nAnd this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nThat’s it. Calling on a sense of patriotism and duty to one’s country. We ought to be outraged like Glenn Beck says.
\n<\/p>\n

\nBut at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life \u00e2\u20ac\u201c what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got going on at home \u00e2\u20ac\u201c that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no excuse for not trying. <\/p>\n

Where you are right now doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to determine where you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll end up. No one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nDoesn’t he know that there are all sorts of valid excuses? He’s asking these kids to overcome adversity and make the most of their opportunities. You can determine your own outcome, how dare he! It is written already. Damned commie! Just like Rush says, he’s dangerous and is destroying the very fabric of our country. We ought to revolt.
\n<\/p>\n

\nThat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why today, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and to do everything you can to meet them.
\n…
\nWhatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nCommitment. Resolve. Work. Setting goals. All part of the liberal agenda to brainwash us into something we don’t want to be. Don’t you see the subtext here? Americans, US Americans, god-fearing Americans don’t need any of that fancy education. We believe the lord will provide for us. We don’t need any of this filthy self-determination pornography.<\/p>\n

\nThe story of America isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t about people who quit when things got tough. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.<\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and found this nation. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.
\n…
\nSo don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let us down \u00e2\u20ac\u201c don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let your family or your country or yourself down. Make us all proud. I know you can do it.<\/p>\n

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just look at this guy? I mean, who the hell does he think he is? Putting all that pressure on our kids telling them that if they don’t stay in school, set goals, study hard, and try that they will be letting their country down. I mean really, these are just kids. They don’t need the fate of the free world resting on their shoulders. And I’m sure, since he’s obviously a Kenyan muslim, it’s that allah character he’s referencing in thanking god instead of our good old US American christian god. Damn socialist, atheist, muslim!
\n
\n[sarcasm off]<\/b> OK, perhaps this post was a little over the top. But a large segment of the US population is looking at this speech in this particular way. It could be racism. It could be ignorance. It could be malice. But what it’s clearly not, is thoughtful. No, the only real issue to take with this speech if you’re a frothing at the mouth conservative is that the more educated students become, the more likely it is that they will see the world for what it is. They’re less easy to control and less likely to invest in invisible friends.
\n
\nYes, thinking children are dangerous children. And that my friends, is the crux of the matter.
\n
\nAddendum: And, for the record, when the Democrats went wing-nut on Bush I in 1991<\/a> for speaking to the public schools, that was an exercise in stupidity too. <\/i>
