What is Wrong With Obama Chatting With Students?

There are at least three major problems with Obama's scheme to manipulate America's education through our children:

1. the usurpation of state and local jurisdictions, by the federal government, animating this scheme;
2. the manipulative nature of teacher-student behavior, to be carried out before and after the speech;
3. and, the content of Obama's speech.

Military Trained to Quell American Protest

As Blog Smith has reported for some time, the unprecedented move to use American military troops as police and to quell legitimate protest protected by the Bill of Rights has proliferated. In a recent exercise, soldiers at Fort Lee Virginia conducted what is described as an anti-terrorism drill. The drill would not be alarming and stopping terrorists should not be controversial. However, as seen in the exercise itself, protesters carrying signs are depicted. Am I stating the obvious here? Terrorists do not carry signs depicting their right to petition the government for a redress of their grievances: natural-born citizens and American citizens do. The military is training to quell legitimate, American protests against the regime. This is wrong and is unconstitutional. For example, one of the signs read "“racist free zone.” Racism also tends not to be a terrorist priority. This is not a anti-terrorist drill; this is a drill directed against American citizens.

Fort Lee Chief of Police Joe Metzger stated that in times of emergency the military and the police must work together. “We forget one’s wearing blue, one’s wearing a uniform. We all come together for the same cause.”

Apparently that cause involves the prevention of people exercising their First Amendment rights.

In June the Department of Defense anti-terrorism training course material states that the exercise of First Amendment rights in the US constitutes terrorist activity.

The ACLU wrote a letter of protest to the DoD regarding its Antiterrorism and Force Protection Annual Refresher Training Course, which advises personnel that political protest amounts to “low-level terrorism”. All DoD personnel are required to complete the course on a yearly basis.

American Public School Third Graders Worship

Teen Unemployment Highest Since 1948

Teen unemployment is at the highest rate it has been since 1948. America formerly was a country known for its youth and opportunity with a freshness and brashness not characteristic of other countries but Obama is causing the sheen to come off America. If the job prospects are not good for most people, since unemployment is at a 26 year high, the unemployment rate is even gloomier for teenagers. This is not the best time to be young in America.

White Kids Are Killers: Obama's Communist Green Jobs Czar

2 December 2005:

"You've never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never. They always say, 'We can't believe it happened here. We can't believe it's these suburban white kids.' It's only them. Now, a black kid might shoot another black kid. He's not going to shoot up the whole school."

"Bush Sounds Like a Crackhead," Communist Van Jones Intones

The Communist Green Czar for Obama compared Bush to a crackhead while doing an imitation of him stating Bush is like a "crackhead trying to lick crack pipe for a fix."

Total words about the Van Jones controversy in the New York Times: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy in the Washington Post: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy on NBC Nightly News: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy on ABC World News: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy on CBS Evening News: 0.

The major news organizations in this country do not even cover distressing news for Obama. We should make sure that the Internet remains free and not subject to "emergency" declarations to shut it down. It is the only way to get reliable news these days. Major controversies and political issues are ignored by the lame stream media.

Why Does Obama Want Direct Access to Your Children?

I know how Barry Obama's spin went in regard to propagandizing the kids on the 8th but I wonder if his earlier legislative efforts are the real reason. The local school boards were not contacted, a serious breach of protocol, and by deliberately cutting the local school boards, and the superintendents out of the loop by contacting principals directly, Obama is essentially bypassing the voters, including parents. He is establishing a precedent for federal control of the children, for making them wards of the federal authority.

On 27 September 2007, then Senator Obama introduced the “Positive Behavior for Effective Schools Act” in the Senate. Obama’s education bill, S.2111, significantly redesigns and amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to allow, in part, for “State . . . local educational agencies, and schools to increase implementation of early intervention services particularly school-wide positive behavior supports.”

According to Section 3, “the term `positive behavior support’ means a systematic approach to embed proven practices for early intervening services, including a range of systemic and individualized strategies to reinforce desired behaviors and eliminate reinforcement for problem behaviors, in order to achieve important social outcomes."

Section 5 called: “Teacher and Principal Preparation to Improve School Climate,” mandates a new requirement for teachers and principals. It is described as “an understanding of social or emotional, or both, learning in children . . . such as positive behavior support.” Obama’s bill also provides for “instructional leadership skills to help teachers” satisfy this requirement.

In Section 8 Obama’s bill creates what’s called the “Office of Specialized Instructional Support Services” which shall “administer, coordinate, implement, and ensure adequate evaluation of the effectiveness of programs” via a new “Director” who provides “continuous training and professional development opportunities for specialized instructional support personnel” comprised of “school counselors, social workers, psychologists, and others.” These “instructional support personnel” provide “assessment, diagnosis, counseling, educational, therapeutic, and other necessary corrective or supportive services” for students.

Obama’s bill intends to extract–without restrictions from Title I funds. The bill “re-designates” funds to allow State educational agencies to “allocate funds to develop and implement coordinated, early intervening services (including school-wide positive behavior supports) for all students, including those who have not been identified as needing special education (emphasis CFP) but who need additional academic and behavioral support to succeed.”

Obama’s bill did not specify the “systematic approach” he plans to “embed” in America’s students to achieve the “desired behaviors” or “important social outcomes” his legislation mandates. Inquiries to former Senator Obama’s Presidential campaign and now to the White House to define them have thus far gone unanswered.

Perhaps Obama should explain to parents exactly what he means before he addresses America’s unwitting school children this Tuesday. In other times and in other regimes they called this indoctrination. What shall we call it?

Are You a Guinea Pig?

This is quite staggering; the WHO (World Health Organization) released information stating that influenza is purposely released to cause a pandemic and thus speed up the regulatory process:

"When testing these mock-up vaccines, it is very possible to release the novel influenza virus into the population, as its purpose is to “mimic the novelty of a pandemic virus” and “greatly expedite regulatory approval.”

There is reason not to trust the WHO and scare tactics of the pharmaceuticals who profit from these shenanigans.

I Have a Hall Pass

After calling the Department of Education and my local school district in order to object to Barry Soetoro Obama's propaganda address I needed a follow-up exercise. Michelle Malkin

and the National Tea Party Coalition have posted a nifty idea: "Operation `“Hall Pass on That.”'

There are effective ways to counter the White House propaganda. The local school district states: "The study guides and objectives provided [by the Department of Education] in advance of the address contain learning activities that compliment elements of the (insert local school district name) Strategic Plan." I find it curious that the text of the address will not be released until the 7th; yet, the school district finds it complimentary to the Strategic Plan. How do they know that if they do not know what will be said?

The Hall Pass suggests: "Request meeting with the school board, superintendent, and principal to inquire as to why parents were excluded from the decision-making process of this event."

The more objections, the more concerns they field, the more reluctant they will be to simply agree with dictates handed down by the White House.

The suggestions are thoughtful:

alternatives there are for the children of families who wish their students learn about the establishment of the country respective to the Founding Father’s intentions. Discussion can focus on the Constitution, the definition and actions of a republic, and the responsibility of elected leaders to their constituents.

The Tea Party suggestion allows parents and local initiatives to take precedence in their area and allows them to enter the classrooms with sound suggestions and Constitutional learning.

Revolutionary Communist Green Jobs Czar: 2008

New Zealand, certainly not the American mass media, has been on this story since April; they did a great job in researching and exposing this Communist in the White House.

Profits from Obama's Stimulus Goes to European Companies

American taxpayers are sending profits to European green companies according to a story released by the Wall Street Journal. The stimulus bill increased profits, not for Americans or created jobs here, but the windfall from taxpayer's money went overseas to Europeans.

Obama Celebrates Islamic Dinner in White House

Barry Soetoro Obama praised Islam as an integral part of America, stating: "Islam as we know is part of America. . . . On this occasion, we celebrate the holy month of Ramadan and we also celebrate how much Muslims have enriched America and its culture in ways both large and small."

Earlier in the year Obama snubbed Protestants, Jews, and Catholics when he bypassed the traditional Day of Prayer. Likewise, when appearing at Georgetown, the White House asked that Georgetown University, a Roman Catholic institution, cover up any images of Jesus.

There is no separation of mosque and state during the Obama regime; Barry Soetoro Obama celebrates Islamic Ramadan.
