I am now very cross and I have a bunch of words for these people

They're nibbling away at freedom, all freedoms, at every corner of the circle.

 
 Dear Comrades,

Comrade Party Chairman and President Barack Barackovich Obama has announced sweeping plans to reform the American education system by introducing new socialization programs for 4-year-olds. The new program, now being referred to as the ‘Young Knuckleheads Federal Education Initiative’ will teach post-toddlers the basics of obedience to authority and openness to indoctrination, which will help them become successful students later in their educational process.

Here in MN the Leftists are floating a plan to extend high school to 13th grade.

The bitch from MSNBC was not acting autonomously. That network is THE propaganda arm of the regime, taking their orders directly from it. She is a front-liner, beginning the "national discussion" about a government takeover of parental rights.

[Glock32]

Everywhere the plan is to keep kids "in the system" as much as possible. Eliminating summer vacation, longer school days, now 13th grade? 13th grade is how I sarcastically referred to my undergrad years, but now they want to make it literal? Considering that even the youngest students in a class would be well over 18 by this so-called 13th grade, I guess that's a sign of the next thing they're going to be nibbling at. 18 will be too young for anything (except voting!), and really you could summarize the entire agenda of liberalism as creating an environment of permanent childhood with State Almighty as the parental figure.

I hate these people. I want them stopped, and I don't care how. An asteroid would be fine by me.

13th grade keeps them from realizing there are no jobs a little longer.

Yea! today we have a class fieldtrip to the voting booths. They tell me if I vote with the people with (D) next to thier name I will get an A and not have any homework. But if I for the (R)s I will get detention. Which will I do?

[IronDioPriest]

It's for the "underprivileged" of course.

MN Senate Panel Approves Bill for 13th Grade Pilot Project

St. Paul, MN (NNCNOW.com) - For many Minnesota students, the next step after high school graduation is typically college, but what about those who aren't quite ready yet?

One state lawmaker says his bill establishing a 13th grade could make all the difference.

Sen. Jeff Hayden (DFL-South Minneapolis) says the proposed pilot project would offer remedial work and mentors for students who may be slipping through the cracks and need more help.

The Minneapolis Urban League hatched the idea; one that Sen. Hayden says could help with the future development projects in the state, like the new Vikings Stadium.

"We know we need good skilled workers," Sen. Hayden said. "We want to make sure those young people get an opportunity from everything from designing them, to doing the business and development work on that, and if they need to pick up a hammer to help build that."

A Senate panel approved the bill last week.
The pilot project, if signed into law, would launch first in Minneapolis.

It's also telling that in their whole quandary, "what about those who aren't quite ready yet?", apparently the follow-up question "why are they in the 12th grade then?" was never asked.

Or even, "why aren't they ready?" and "who is responsible for their failure to be ready?"

Didn't mean to thread-jack away from the obviously malevolent subject of this crossword puzzle, but for Pete's sake... they want to force-feed this bullspit to children for two extra years - one at a most formative age of 4, and then finish them off at the age of 18-19?

It seems to me that 13th grade is just a program to ensure that young adults who have no prayer of ever attending college will receive a university-quality post-12th-grade indoctrination.

How long until public schools start having on-site dormitories?

Apparently its a full court press.
Probably because of the new "standards" put in place by Borat. Even a friend in Wyoming is having issues - the teachers are forced to teach the curriculum - even when they know it to be a lie, or they could loose their jobs ( apparently the only time you can fire a teacher is when they DON'T indoctrinate students)

Has Florida signed on to Common Core?

It sucks for the parents because they are getting hammered from all sides - between the Obama economy, taxes, regulation, employment scene etc private and homeschooling might be beyond their reach, but they have to find a way, leaving your children in public school is creating too many risks to their future health and intellectual and moral development.  Band together with other parents to share costs/time demands, whatever it takes, just get them out of the public schools at any cost!  Failing to do so will mean you only have yourselves to blame if things work out poorly for your kids development.  This is the world we have been forced to live in.

My heart goes out to those who have kids.

The song keeps playing in my head - "I fought the law - and the law won"

I did what I could for my kids and it's even worse now than it was then (and it was pretty bad then). So it's relatively easy for me now. I just don't care anymore about their asinine rules, I will not comply, and God help anyone who crosses me.

People like M. Medved want to insist that the left isn't evil - they are good people who just see things differently than we do. I say that they are the spawn of Satan and need to be isolated, disenfranchised, and discouraged. Not just for their own good but for the salvation of the species.

Failing that, I think that we should regard them as fetuses and deal with them the same way that they do.

Dad Furious After Finding This Crayon-Written Paper in Florida 4th-Grader’s Backpack: ‘I Am Willing to Give Up Some of My Constitutional Rights…to Be Safer’

The words are written in crayon, in the haphazard bumpiness of a child's scrawl.

"I am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure."

They're the words that Florida father Aaron Harvey was stunned to find his fourth-grade son had written, after a lesson in school about the Constitution.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "good people" - Evil is  intentional, deliberate , premeditated destruction. Most of the liberal foot soldiers have never THOUGHT about anything they are doing any more than  Cockroaches and Rats think about their activities. They simply assume their deeds to be good, and  don't give a damn  how many people must be bullied, mugged, raped and killed to achieve them.   It really doesn't matter if they are "evil" or not. What matters is that the self-righteous, narcissistic, freedom-hating, filthy, totalitarian vermin are exterminated before they spread any more of the plague, famine, immorality and social rot they are carriers of.

[IronDioPriest]

Many behaviors are evil regardless of intent.

[Pandora]

Many behaviors are evil regardless of intent.

That's the problem.  For many of them, the intent is *good, but they never -- EVER -- have to answer for the results.

And the *good is subjective; they think if they can make us behave the way they say is good for us, it's good for us, neverthehell mind what we think.

I remember taking Ethics as an elective in college, and it was depressing to see how many people totally agreed that the Utilitarianism espoused by people like J.S. Mill was the best ethical framework for a society. It's basically the same theory tyrannies have always latched onto: whatever promotes the greatest good to the greatest number is ethical. So what if the one sheep has to be killed, if the two wolves can avoid going hungry?

I could only think of the exchange with the Grand Inquisitor in Dostoyevsky's Brothers Karamazov, where he proposes a society in which everyone has a life free from want and privation, and in exchange one innocent must be tortured mercilessly. "Would you consent to be the architect on those conditions?"

Ever since first reading that as a teenager I have always imagined Leftists as answering in the affirmative.
